Dive into the new features

Searching through the library

A search bar is added to quick navigate to the game you are seeking for.

It can also be opened with a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + K for Windows/Linux, ⌘ + K for macOS.

Custom BIOSes

Some emulators need BIOSes to work properly. Now we can upload the BIOSes through the settings dialog.
