Instance JSON builder for PC Engine CD Core

New Feature

• For cores that support the feature (currently the pc engine cd core, only), when you run update all it will automatically generate instance json files for each of your games

Usage:

• Put your games in /Assets/pcecd/common
• Each game needs to be in its own directory (and be sure to name the directory the full title of the game)
  • Example: /Assets/pcecd/common/Rondo of Blood
  • /Assets/pcecd/common/Bonk
  • etc
• All games (for PC Engine CD) must be in cue/bin format. The generated json file will be saved using the same filename as the cue file, so be sure to also name that with the full title of the game
• When you run the update all process, it will search through every directory in common and create a json file that can be launched by the core

What's Changed

• Crc checker by @mattpannella in #106

2.11.0 - More efficient rom downloading + rom blacklist

What's Changed

• App checks the archive table of contents ahead of time, so cut down on failed downloads. Should be much quicker, now
• Added a rom blacklist for the obscure stuff no one has been able to find, so it won't try to download and fail every time
• Added a list of failed asset downloads to summary at the end of the update process

What's Changed

• skip hidden files by @mattpannella in #96

Full Changelog: v2.10.1...v2.10.2

2.10.1

Only one change. If there's an issue reading an instance json while checking for assets, handle the exception and keep going, instead of breaking and moving on to the next core
Should help the cps1 issue a little. still can't reproduce the bug to actually fix it, though

2.10.0 Release

New Features

• Downloading required assets (roms, bios files etc) for cores that are not installed by the updater. Now if you manually install a core that isn't supported by the updater (such as one of jotego's cores that are patreon exclusive) it will still attempt to find and install all the required files
• When using cli parameters, it no longer waits for input at the end of the process and just exits

2.9.4 Release

What's Changed

• Fixed issue #87
• temporarily removed self updating, to iron out some issues
