Asset downloader will work correctly now, when you have download_assets set to false (the setting was only intended to stop it during update all)

Bug fix - don't download assets for skipped cores

What's Changed

• Added a new menu options that walks through the available settings, since most people don't even know they exist
• Added a new option to disable crc checks. This is only available by editing the settings json file, and not in the config wizard.

Switching to v2 of the cores inventory api. Mostly just non-user facing improvements, but the main thing is the github api rate limit will not be an issue going forward, anymore. Since the api is hitting the github api for us

New Feature

• For cores that support the feature (currently the pc engine cd core, only), when you run update all it will automatically generate instance json files for each of your games

Usage:

• Put your games in /Assets/pcecd/common
• Each game needs to be in its own directory (and be sure to name the directory the full title of the game)
  • Example: /Assets/pcecd/common/Rondo of Blood
  • /Assets/pcecd/common/Bonk
  • etc
• All games (for PC Engine CD) must be in cue/bin format. The generated json file will be saved using the same filename as the cue file, so be sure to also name that with the full title of the game
• When you run the update all process, it will search through every directory in common and create a json file that can be launched by the core

What's Changed

• App checks the archive table of contents ahead of time, so cut down on failed downloads. Should be much quicker, now
• Added a rom blacklist for the obscure stuff no one has been able to find, so it won't try to download and fail every time
• Added a list of failed asset downloads to summary at the end of the update process

Skip looking for assets for the new neogeo core, like the normal one
