@@ -6,7 +6,110 @@ This guide covers all available CLI commands with copy-ready Windows PowerShell
|
||||
- Python installed and on PATH (the app runs in headless mode; no window will open).
|
||||
- Run commands from the folder that contains `rgsx_cli.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
## General syntax
|
||||
## Quick interactive mode (new)
|
||||
You can now start an interactive shell once and issue multiple commands without retyping `python rgsx_cli.py` each time:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
You will see a prompt like:
|
||||
```
|
||||
RGSX CLI interactive mode. Type 'help' for commands, 'exit' to quit.
|
||||
rgsx>
|
||||
```
|
||||
Inside this shell type subcommands exactly as you would after `python rgsx_cli.py`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
rgsx> platforms
|
||||
rgsx> games --platform snes --search mario
|
||||
rgsx> download --platform snes --game "Super Mario World (USA).zip"
|
||||
rgsx> history --tail 10
|
||||
rgsx> exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
Extras:
|
||||
- `help` or `?` prints the global help.
|
||||
- `exit` or `quit` leaves the shell.
|
||||
- `--verbose` once sets persistent verbose logging for the rest of the session.
|
||||
|
||||
## Formatted table output (platforms)
|
||||
The `platforms` command now renders a fixed-width ASCII table (unless `--json` is used):
|
||||
```
|
||||
+--------------------------------+-----------------+
|
||||
| Platform Name | Folder |
|
||||
+--------------------------------+-----------------+
|
||||
| Nintendo Entertainment System | nes |
|
||||
| Super Nintendo Entertainment.. | snes |
|
||||
| Sega Mega Drive | megadrive |
|
||||
+--------------------------------+-----------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
Columns: 30 chars for name, 15 for folder (values longer are truncated with `...`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Aliases & option synonyms (updated)
|
||||
Subcommand aliases:
|
||||
- `platforms` → `p`
|
||||
- `games` → `g`
|
||||
- `download` → `dl`
|
||||
- `clear-history` → `clear`
|
||||
|
||||
Option aliases (all shown forms are accepted; they are equivalent):
|
||||
- Platform: `--platform`, `--p`, `-p`
|
||||
- Game: `--game`, `--g`, `-g`
|
||||
- Search: `--search`, `--s`, `-s`
|
||||
- Force (download): `--force`, `-f`
|
||||
- Interactive (download): `--interactive`, `-i`
|
||||
|
||||
Examples with aliases:
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py dl -p snes -g "Super Mario World (USA).zip"
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py g --p snes --s mario
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py p --json
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py clear
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ambiguous download selection (new table)
|
||||
When you attempt a download with a non-exact title and interactive mode is active (TTY or `--interactive`), matches are displayed in a table:
|
||||
```
|
||||
No exact result found for this game: mario super yoshi
|
||||
Select a match to download:
|
||||
+------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|
||||
| # | Title | Size |
|
||||
+------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|
||||
| 1 | Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan).zip | 3.2M |
|
||||
| 2 | Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan) (Rev 1).zip | 3.2M |
|
||||
| 3 | Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan) (Rev 2).zip | 3.2M |
|
||||
| 4 | Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island (USA).zip | 3.3M |
|
||||
| 5 | Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan) (Beta) (1995-07-10).zip | 3.1M |
|
||||
+------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|
||||
Enter number (or press Enter to cancel):
|
||||
```
|
||||
If you cancel or are not in interactive mode, a similar table is still shown (without the prompt) followed by a tip.
|
||||
|
||||
## Improved fuzzy search for games (multi-token)
|
||||
The `--search` / `--s` / `-s` option now uses the same multi-strategy ranking as the download suggestion logic:
|
||||
1. Substring match (position-based) — highest priority
|
||||
2. Ordered non-contiguous token sequence (smallest gap wins)
|
||||
3. All tokens present in any order (smaller token set size wins)
|
||||
|
||||
Duplicate titles are deduplicated by keeping the best scoring strategy. This means queries like:
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py games --p snes --s "super mario yoshi"
|
||||
```
|
||||
will surface all relevant "Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island" variants even if the word order differs.
|
||||
|
||||
Example output:
|
||||
```
|
||||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|
||||
| Game Title | Size |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|
||||
| Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island (USA).zip | 3.3M |
|
||||
| Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island (Europe) (En,Fr,De).zip | 3.3M |
|
||||
| Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan).zip | 3.2M |
|
||||
| Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan) (Rev 1).zip | 3.2M |
|
||||
| Super Mario - Yoshi Island (Japan) (Rev 2).zip | 3.2M |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
If no results are found the table displays only headers followed by a message.
|
||||

|
||||
- `--search <text>`: filter by substring in game title.

|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py g -p n64 --verbose
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notes:
|
||||
- The platform is resolved by display name (platform_name) or folder, case-insensitively.
|
||||

||||
### 3) download — download a game
|
||||
### 3) download (`download` / `dl`) — download a game

||||

|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Exact title
|
||||
python rgsx_cli.py download --platform n64 --game "Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time (USA) (Beta).zip"

# If no exact title is found, the CLI no longer auto-selects; it displays suggestions.

python rgsx_cli.py download --platform n64 --game "Ocarina of Time (Beta)"
