JVK3R/JobeesLair v0.5.0

Jobee'sLair 0.5.0

on GitHub

The biggest Jobee'sLair update yet.

New

• Homebrew section. Browse and install 200+ PS5 apps and emulators (PS5SX2, Stremio, RetroArch and more) straight from their authors' own releases. Updates show up on their own, and installed apps appear in your Library with their name and picture.
• Helpers for emulators. Apps that need a payload loaded first (PS5SX2, XPSemu, Ruffle, VITA5) get it installed with them. Press Run helper on the app's page after each console restart.
• New phone companion. Scan the QR code in Settings → Phone companion to watch your downloads, manage the queue, run payloads and send a log if something goes wrong, all from your phone.
• New search. A cover grid with Games and Homebrew tabs and a pop-up keyboard.
• "Ready for 13.60" row and a Format filter. Find games by folder dump, .exfat, FFPFS, backport or fPKG.
• Downloads in parts keep going on their own. The next part's link is grabbed while the current one downloads, and parts that need the browser open by themselves.
• Sizes before you download, even when the catalog doesn't list one.
• Screen saver after 10 minutes idle, showing how your download is going.
• Settings is its own section, with categories down the side.
• A home-screen background. Hover Jobee'sLair on the PS5 home screen to see its new art.

Fixed

• ShadowMount no longer says "Device busy" after you close Jobee'sLair. It releases the app a few seconds after it closes, so refresh, unmount and delete work without reloading ShadowMount.
• The ✕ on a finished download only clears the card. It no longer uninstalls the game.
• Homebrew apps that closed straight away ("Couldn't start app or game") now start.
• Top Rated, New Releases and Favorites work from the Search page.
• A download in parts that finished but wouldn't extract ("missing parts") now says which part is a copy, and Retry re-downloads just that part.
• Settings no longer freezes when you change phone companion options.
• Pages scroll all the way back to the top.

Install

• Updating from 0.4.1: accept the update in the app, or replace JobeesLair.exfat in your homebrew folder.
• New install: copy JobeesLair.exfat to /data/homebrew/ (or homebrew/ on a USB or extended drive) and let ShadowMount install it.

Thanks to nexgen999 for the PS5 Repository List that powers the Homebrew section, and to everyone who tested the pre-releases.
