v0.1.0 — first public feedback build

Initial public release. Everything below is new, since this is the first version anyone outside
of on-device testing has seen.

Per-console themes

  • Nintendo Switch — tile row with the real Switch Home Menu chrome and selection glow
  • Nintendo 3DS — built around the Thor's dual screens like the real hardware: an interactive
    icon row on the bottom screen, wobbling Clear Logo art for the highlighted game on the top
    screen
  • GameCube — disc-menu-style shelf, with the console's own boot video and menu music
  • Wii — Wii Menu-style channel grid
  • Wii U — Wii U Home Menu-style tile grid with placeholder tiles, plus functional
    Settings/Shop/Browser utility tiles and a live background-color picker
  • Dreamcast — swirl-menu-style shelf with its own boot video and UI sounds
  • PlayStation 2 — full coverflow-style case-browsing recreation
  • PSP — XMB-style recreation
  • SNES — Classic Mini-style boot shelf
  • Every other platform uses a clean generic grid until it gets its own theme

Dual-screen support

  • The Thor's second screen shows live game details and cover art for whatever's highlighted on
    the main screen
  • For Nintendo 3DS specifically, the two screens swap roles to match real 3DS hardware — the
    interactive grid lives on the bottom screen, Clear Logo art on top
  • Background menu music now correctly pauses when the app loses focus (e.g. when an emulator
    launches) instead of continuing to play underneath it
  • Full-screen immersive mode: both the status bar and gesture-navigation bar are hidden on the
    main shelf

Emulator integration

  • Per-platform emulator launching for Switch (Eden), GameCube/Wii (Dolphin), Wii U (Cemu), PSP
    (PPSSPP), PS2 (ARMSX2/NetherSX2), 3DS (Lime3DS/Azahar/Citra), plus RetroArch core support for
    classic systems
  • Honest per-emulator "verified working" flagging under the hood — not every listed emulator has
    been confirmed to actually boot a game yet, see Known Issues in the README

Metadata & cover art

  • Local ES-DE-style metadata and media support (covers, screenshots, marquees/Clear Logos, etc.)
  • SteamGridDB and IGDB fallback for cover art and descriptions when local data is missing

Fixes since early internal builds

  • Fixed the Wii U tile grid clipping behind its own background and the selected tile jumping out
    of the grid instead of just gaining a highlight border
  • Fixed the Wii U background color picker crashing when sampling a color from screen
  • Fixed the 3DS interactive grid and the top-screen details view falling out of sync when leaving
    the 3DS shelf
  • Fixed 3DS tile sizing and spacing to match real 3DS hardware proportions
