By following the three simple steps in this app, you can take any ROM that supports GBFS (such as 4-e), select files to attach, and save a new ROM with those files attached.

Everything is done in your browser. No ROM or file data is sent to or received from any server.

This app differs slightly from the command-line GBFS tools in a few ways. It currently only creates a single GBFS "file" that it attaches to the ROM, unlike those tools, which can create many. It also does not pad objects in the GBFS file, unlike those tools; this did not appear necessary.

-Or, open index.html directly.
-=== Differences ===
-One key difference between GBFS files made by gbfs-web and [https://github.com/devkitPro/gba-tools/blob/054d507f90d32784274b6cf7e03f1c43d02d7a57/src/gbfs.c the original gbfs tool] is that gbfs-web does not bother to pad the objects in the GBFS file. I did not see a use for it, and 4-e (which uses [https://github.com/dmdemoura/libgbfs/blob/4230f4b6221af557210393c84bbc1494e1e4bcb0/source/libgbfs.c libgbfs]) does not appear to have any issues with it, even when loaded with lots of files.
-gbfs-web does not currently pad the base ROM. The original tool doesn't either, but the original distribution did include a tool called [https://github.com/devkitPro/general-tools/blob/46086605cdc63fb02ba0ed08cdc00801ba00c6f0/padbin.c padbin] which does do this. 4-e's build process includes a step to pad to 256 bytes, libgbfs' default stride, so it did not seem necessary here, but it could be added.
-If folks encounter issues due to these differences, gbfs-web can be changed accordingly. Please check to see if using the original tools solves the issue before filing bugs or submitting changes.
