Bug#823763: support singstar dvds for performous / ultrastar (ss_extract)

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

I think game fit nicely within G-D-P goals (automate installation of non-free 
assets for free engine)

You could have a look at all the per-game plugins in  /games/ for reference.

Make sure to define package.empty = True in yout plugin;
as it would only ship generated files.

It's really hard to get anything done without the actual media
or some Steam/GOG digital delivery archive.

So here there must be a single person with
- the original media
- some grasp of python
- some grasp of G-D-P (we can help)


I can help too, but this means I have to buy some of these game;
would any PS2 Singstar game work ?

Bug#823763: support singstar dvds for performous / ultrastar (ss_extract)

[chrysn]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 44
Severity: wishlist

the performous-tools package's ss_extract tool is capable of reading
singstar dvds and converting them into a format usable by ultrastar and
performous.

as this is not pure unpack-and-repack-as-deb, i'm not 100% sure it fits
in game-data-packager, but what happens in lgeneral with lgc-pg seems to
imply that it is suitable for managing via game-data-packager.

please consider wrapping ss_extract in game-data-packager. (when i find
time to do it, i'll announce that on this bug to avoid duplicate
effort.)
