Be awesome if the GUI can give a menu option to scan a device/drive for valid PKG files and ask if you want to install them all the install directory specified in the initial emulator config. If there was no directory set, ether throw up an error or prompt for an install directory.

Also when installing all the PKG files, no prompt for install directory for each PKG. The idea is to automate all of it.

Tested on 3 PKG files, no prompt between each, so it works.

As for the bulk install, didn't see any option for that or is that what the 'Open/Add Elf folder' is?

What I was thinking was: Menu option something like 'Scan device/Directory' > Navigate to it and click 'Open'. The emulator scans for the entire folder structure for valid PKG files and then says, for example: '100 PKG files found, do you want to install them at [install directory] Y/N?" After that, if Y selected, proceed as mentioned above with no install confirmation dialog between PKG file installs. Any bulk operation should be automatic.

If it's too much work or can't be bothered, that's fine. Happy with what ElBread3 has done. Thank you for that work.

I think nobody have a lot of pkg files, 95% of people own less than 5 games .. I'm not sure they will add it
