How can I automate DLL management between different devices during game play?

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I'm diving into this and will surely update on my progress. I’m not a scripting expert yet, but I’m eager to learn!

If you're looking for a more intuitive solution, consider using Playnite as your game library manager. It allows you to set up scripts that can run when you start or stop a game, which could help with your DLL management.

You can automate this with PowerShell! Here’s a basic outline: 1. Use `Get-Item` or `Get-ChildItem` to list current files. 2. Then use `Rename-Item` or `Copy-Item` to back up the current DLL. 3. Use `Copy-Item` again to replace the DLL with the new one. To revert, just move or copy the backed-up file back to the original location. It sounds like a lot, but it’s manageable! Just make sure you’ve got backups just in case things go wrong.

No need to keep both DLLs on every device! Just maintain one version of each in separate folders on your machines. You can use `$env:COMPUTERNAME` in your script to determine which device you’re currently on and copy the appropriate DLL automatically.

I think there's a simpler way to handle DLLs. Why not let the game’s built-in update system do its job? Most games manage DLL updates through their patches, so you won't have to worry about swapping them manually all the time.
