No longer in Development

I no longer own any PS2 systems, nor plan to in the future. Therefore, I cannot test any updates to this.
Feel free to fork this project and continue it, including using any of the artwork, just please follow the license.
If you have a successful fork that eventually trumps this original project repo, please let me know.

Building

This project requires Poetry, so feel free to take advantage and use it for its various conveniences like building sdist/wheel packages, creating and managing dependencies, virtual environments, and more.

Note:

• Source Code may have changes that may be old, not yet tested or stable, or may have regressions.
• Only run or install from Source Code if you have a good reason. Examples would be to test for regressions, test changes (either your own or other contributors), or to research the code (agreeing to the LICENSE).
• Poetry is required as it's used as the PEP 517 build system, virtual environment manager, dependency manager, and more.

Install from Source Code

git clone https://github.com/rlaphoenix/hdlg.git
cd hdlg
pip install --user .

Building source and wheel distributions

poetry build

You can specify -f to build sdist or wheel only. Built files can be found in the /dist directory.

Packing with PyInstaller

poetry run python pyinstaller.py

The build is now available at ./dist.
