v0.4.0.0: Automatic FSE Entry and Launch Failure Improvements

OmniConsole can now automatically trigger Full Screen Experience (FSE) when launched from the desktop, removing the need to manually activate FSE before use. This release also adds a "Return to Desktop" option to the launch failure screen and introduces FSE availability detection with guidance for systems where FSE is not yet enabled.

✨ What's New in This Release

• Automatic FSE Entry from Desktop:

  • When launched outside of FSE mode (e.g., from the Start Menu on a desktop), OmniConsole now automatically triggers the FSE entry dialog ("Restart for better performance"). After confirming, Windows re-launches OmniConsole within FSE and proceeds to start the selected platform.
  • No manual Win+F11 or Game Bar interaction is required.

• "Return to Desktop" Button on Launch Failure:

  • A "Return to Desktop" button now appears alongside "Open Settings" when a platform fails to launch.
  • Clicking it triggers the FSE exit dialog ("Switching to Windows desktop"). Confirming exits FSE mode and closes OmniConsole.
  • Gamepad: pressing A when the button is focused triggers the action.

• FSE Availability Detection:

  • If FSE is not enabled on the system, OmniConsole now detects this at startup and displays an informational message instead of attempting to launch a platform.
  • A "Xbox Full Screen Experience Tool" link is shown. Clicking it opens the tool's GitHub page in the browser and closes OmniConsole.

🛠️ Installation Instructions

1. Go to Settings → System → Advanced and enable Developer Mode.
2. Download OmniConsole_0.4.0.0_x64.msix and OmniConsole_0.4.0.0_x64.cer from the Assets below.
3. Double-click the .cer file → click Install Certificate → Store Location: Local Machine → Place all certificates in the following store → Browse → select Trusted People → Finish. (Skip this step if you already have the certificate installed)
4. Double-click the .msix file to install.

⚙️ Prerequisites

• Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.7019)+ with Full Screen Experience enabled.
• Desktops & Laptops: Use Xbox Full Screen Experience Tool to enable FSE first.
• Native Handheld Devices (e.g., ROG Xbox Ally series): FSE is natively supported. Install OmniConsole directly.

v0.4.0.0：自動進入 FSE 與啟動失敗處理改善

OmniConsole 現在能在從桌面啟動時自動觸發全螢幕體驗（FSE），無需手動操作即可進入 FSE 模式。本次更新亦在啟動失敗畫面新增「返回桌面」選項，並針對未啟用 FSE 的系統加入偵測提示機制。

✨ 本次更新亮點

• 從桌面自動進入 FSE：

  • 在 FSE 模式外啟動 OmniConsole（例如從開始功能表），現在會自動觸發 FSE 進入對話方塊（「重新啟動以提升效能」）。使用者確認後，Windows 會在 FSE 環境中重新啟動 OmniConsole 並開始啟動所選平台。
  • 無需手動按 Win+F11 或透過 Game Bar 操作。

• 啟動失敗時新增「返回桌面」按鈕：

  • 平台啟動失敗時，畫面現在會同時顯示「返回桌面」與「開啟設定」按鈕。
  • 點選後會觸發 FSE 退出對話方塊（「切換到 Windows 桌面」）。確認後退出 FSE 模式並關閉 OmniConsole。
  • 手把支援：焦點在按鈕上時按下 A 鍵即可觸發。

• FSE 可用性偵測：

  • 若系統尚未啟用 FSE，OmniConsole 現在會在啟動時偵測此狀況，並顯示提示訊息，而非嘗試啟動平台。
  • 畫面會顯示「Xbox Full Screen Experience Tool」連結。點選後將在瀏覽器開啟工具的 GitHub 頁面，並關閉 OmniConsole。

🛠️ 安裝說明
