This small program/script can be used on your R36S/R36H retro console running on Linux (ArkOS) to install Add-on ‘systems’. This program will add the systems to the Emulation Station Configuration automatically, and you are also able to remove the systems with this program
Adding the XNL Ft. system/category gives you the possibility to install all the tools/programs I’ve released into their own category in your Emulation Station main menu. This prevents you from having to go to Options->Tools->XNL Tools ever time you want or need to use one of my programs, tweaks or utils. You can of course also just install them in /roms/tools/XNL Tools, however personally we like to keep our tools/programs a bit more organized 😊.
The Apps system/category basically allows you to put any .sh script into the folder /roms/apps and run it from the Emulation Station main menu. Some of my releases will actually require this system/category, but you can also install (or make) your own Linux/Bash start scripts in this category/system.

A .sh script is basically an open-source script which you can just run as-is on your (in this instance Linux) machine/console. You can run it, but for example also open it in Notepad++ and view/edit the code directly.

This program can be used to assign additional storage space to the Linux/ArkOS partition on your SD-Card by taking it from the ROM’s partition. This can (and will) be extremely useful when you want to install additional packages, drivers, development tools or any other add-ons which are installed directly into Linux (instead of being a ROM/game on your ROM’s partition).
It’s highly recommended to read more about the why and how bellow 😊

20 years ago (as of 2024) I wrote TextSpec 2.0B which was used to count words, characters and lines in a pasted (plain) text. Simply because lots of people I knew back then didn’t had Microsoft Word on their home computer, or they just wanted a small (quickly starting) tool to get this information about a piece of text fast and efficiently.
In honor of the 20 year old version I decided to completely rewrite TextSpec from scratch in .NET with a lot more features, accuracy and other improvements.
Interested in what this new modernized version has to offer and why I decided to rewrite it again? Make sure to check the information bellow for more details 😊
