SMB Network Shares

  • Fixed package scanning from the share root so an unreadable subfolder does not prevent scanning accessible folders (#21)
  • Fixed guest authentication to try an empty-password Guest login, with anonymous fallback when no credentials are supplied
  • Fixed page reloads on a Samba share package list showing an internal share ID instead of the share name
  • Added clearer errors for disabled accounts and allowed entering share names when the server blocks share listing
  • Reduced SMB signing overhead with hardware AES acceleration and reused encryption setup, while preserving signature verification (#17)
  • Build the pinned, patched SMB library with matching headers instead of using an older SDK copy
  • Added Windows 11 guest-sharing setup instructions and a host diagnostic tool for authentication, read verification and transfer benchmarks

Settings

  • Fixed cache statistics showing zero after reloading the Settings page
  • Added a Close PKG Manager action that stops the server process gracefully
  • Reorganized Settings cards

Installation

  • Fail fast and show a clear error if trying to install a package that no longer exists on storage or Samba
  • Show the game title, update version, or DLC label instead of raw title IDs in console install notifications and download cards
  • Show the package icon on the console's download cards and notifications during installation

Cache and Scanning

  • Preserve the metadata and icon cache across routine ELF updates; clear and rescan only when the cache schema changes
  • Switched the Rescan button to run a fast quick rescan instead of rebuilding the full cache
  • Fixed quick rescan dropping unchanged SMB packages when a package was renamed or modified, and added catalog self-healing
