# gODESort
## Purpose
The GDEMU Phoebe/Rhea optical disc emulators (ODEs) are fantastic hardware mods that
allow you to replace the physical CD drive in a Sega Saturn with an SD card and
load disc images on original hardware - unfortunately the GDEMU ODE is [extremely
picky about how the disc images are ordered, named and otherwise laid out on the
SD card filesystem.](https://gdemu.wordpress.com/details/phoebe-details/)Grouping disc images into categories requires "dummy" folders with specific text
files and further complicates ordering, especially with a large number of images.This tool is designed to be pointed at your SD card root and executed and
currently supports the following operations:- `godesort sort -i /path/to/your/sdcard` will automatically alphabetically
order your images, fix folder numbering gaps, and automate image (re)ordering
after any additions or removals
- `godesort generate -i /path/to/your/sdcard` will scan your sorted images,
regenerate the RMENU INI file, and rebuild the RMENU ISO-based menu that
Phoebe/Rhea boot into.
> NOTE: gODEsort builds the RMENU menu using the **image filenames for the menu
> entries**, rather than the disc header titles that the native RMENU tool
> uses - which means you can simply name your images according to how you want them to
> be displayed and ordered in the RMENU menu.> Note: Currently gODESort only works with CCD image types and the Phoebe/Rhea
> ODEs - support for the Dreamcast GDEMU and other image types is pending## Prerequisites
- [Install cdrtools for your
platform](http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/cdrecord.html)-
specifically, `mkisofs` must be in your path
- Install the [Go runtime for your OS](https://golang.org/dl/)
- Have the latest RMENU files extracted to a folder named `01` at the root of
your SD## Installation
Currently the only way to install is to build from source.
> Supports any OS Golang does - Win/Mac/Lin
1. Clone this repository
2. Build the source
``` sh
cd godesort
go build
```## Usage
> Note: This tool will not touch the "01" folder on your SD card since that is
> typically reserved for RMENU - all image folders will be renamed starting at "02"1. This tool sorts your images based on the image filenames so make sure your
images are named like you want them - e.g.```text
45/ ->
Virtua Cop.ccd
Virtua Cop.img
Virtua Cop.sub
```2. Run the command and point it at your Phoebe/Rhea root
``` sh
./godesort -i sort
```3. Done. Rerun the above command as needed after adding or removing images to
your SD card root to keep things ordered.
