New

  • Custom categories (Collections): Added support for custom categories, create a collection by pressing the triangle button on a game, press triangle again to bring up the mini menu. Collections can be renamed/deleted by going to the main settings menu 'Other settings > Edit collections'.

  • New systems: ScummVM, PICO-8 and PlayStation Mobile added.

  • New languages: Portuguese (Brazilian) and Hungarian.

  • Smooth scrolling: Game cover transitions are smooth when browsing games. Can be turned off by going to the theme settings.

  • Adrenaline: Option to include games from all available partitions. (This is now the default setting).

  • D-Pad Up: Jump to the recently played / favourites category, or filter categories to only show collections.

  • Hide missing covers: Setting to hide games with missing covers. Go to the main settings menu 'Other settings > Show missing covers'. The first time you do this it may rescan.

  • N64 and SNES: Support added for portrait Japanese N64 and SNES boxes (delete your old N64 and SNES covers and download again).

  • Vita: Option to extract background images. Achieved by integrating a modified version of copyicons by cy33hc. The normal functions of copyicons are also performed.

  • PICO-8: Option to extract PICO-8 background images (uses the image in the centre of the game cart).

Improvements

  • Better launch method: Removed dependency on repatch plugin and launch bin files.

  • Box art sizes: New approach, the image size is checked and the closest box size is assigned (adding your own covers should give better results).

  • Box art cassette tapes: Boxes now appear larger in their own categories (C64, MSX, MSX2, Spectrum).

  • Box art reflections: Improved game reflections, small gap removed.

  • PSTV: Battery icon and percentage removed.

  • PSP: Image extraction now only gets missing images, speeding up the process. Images are no longer shown whilst extracting to prevent a drain on resources.

  • Improved translations: Polish and French.

  • Languages: Sorted alphabetically.

Bug fixes

  • File settings error: Fixed error saving when pressing buttons repeatedly very quickly.

  • PSP and PS1: Fixed error with bad game titles which contained double quotes. (PES C19 fix).

  • PSP: PSP background extraction, fixed C2-12828-1, images are no longer displayed when extracting.

  • Hidden games: Hidden games were showing when rescanning, the overall approach was revised.

  • Lots of minor fixes not worth mentioning, see the nightly build for more.

Know issues

  • PSP background extraction: May need to be run more than once, after around 150 games it skips the rest.
