🚀 v0.9.5 Beta — The "Library" Update

on GitHub

Note: This is a feature-packed release that adds a unified Library browser, a Quick Menu, and a fully reworked home screen. Upgrading from <= 0.9.3 still requires a fresh install.

✨ Highlights

📚 Library Screen

A brand-new cross-system game browser. Browse All, Installed, or Favorites across every console in one place — with search, sort modes (A-Z / by system), and adjustable grid zoom via LB/RB.

⚡ Quick Menu (Start Button)

Press Start from any screen to open a contextual overlay with instant shortcuts to Search, Settings, Zoom, and Downloads. No more menu-diving.

🏠 Home Grid Layout

Toggle between the classic carousel and a new grid view on the home screen. Grid columns are adjustable with LB/RB, and your preference persists across sessions.
