RetroAchievements

  • Sign in on the console. A new sign-in screen with an on-screen keyboard (drawn by the app) lets you enter your user name and password, with no PC needed. Only the login token is kept; the password goes to retroachievements.org and is wiped from memory.
  • Settings > Achievements: the profile row reads Sign in until you are signed in, then Your profile.
  • Sign out: hold L2 + R2 for 3 seconds on the profile screen (with a progress bar).
  • If your language can't be typed on the keyboard, the screen points to python tools/psxs5_sync.py ra-login, which still works.

Shelf

  • Hold O for 3 seconds to close the app, with a warning and progress bar. The app now exits cleanly through the system instead of crashing.
  • Reload (L3): rescans the library without opening Settings. If new games are found it jumps to All; otherwise it says "No new games found...".
  • The shelf always starts on All, not on the last category.
  • Games without a cover show the app icon instead of a plain title card (coverflow, grid and spine layouts).
  • A new tag shows the games folder: Folder: '/data', '/mnt/ext1', etc. The Details panel shows the full path, e.g. /data/PSXS5/games.
  • The Memory cards hint is shortened to M.Card.

Storage and performance

  • A second games folder: /mnt/ext1/PSXS5/games is created when /mnt/ext1 exists, and is scanned along with the existing ones.
  • The scan limit grows from 1024 to 4096 entries per folder.
  • SwanStation's shader cache now lives in PSXS5/cache/swanstation instead of inside bios/.

Interface

  • Right-hand hints use button icons instead of text (shelf, sign-in, profile, Settings, cheats, achievements, guide).
  • All new texts are translated into English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese.

Developer tools

  • The app log goes to the console's klog, readable with nc <PS5 IP> 3232. make_release.py --ip prints that command.
  • Per-frame timing logs are off.
