Note

Argosy now handles any number of screens. Dual-screen handhelds, docks and external monitors all use the same system: each screen gets a job (menus, what you're looking at, or apps), and you can reassign them in Settings > Displays.

Important

Regional versions of a game (for example USA and Japan) now show as separate games in your library instead of one merged entry. Your first library sync after updating sorts this out automatically. Use the Region filter to show only the regions you want.

New Features

  • Multi-screen support for any number of screens, each holding a role (Primary, Presentation, App Screen) you can reassign in Settings; external monitors show Argosy content instead of a mirror, and a Swap Screens button trades roles (#459)
  • Send controller input to any screen from the app bar, with screen numbers shown on the screens themselves
  • Choose which screen a game or app opens on, per platform or per game
  • Presentation screen layouts (Cinematic, Journal, Logo) with game clear logos, play time and storage breakdowns, and settings for the shade, cover art and stats
  • In-game dashboard on the second screen with a session overview, quick states you can load with a tap, achievements, the manual and the walkthrough
  • Manuals and walkthroughs download with a game and open in a page-turning reader from game details or the in-game menu, with highlights, your place remembered across devices, and the walkthrough beside the game on wide screens
  • Friends playing a game, and games friends played recently, on Home, game details and the presentation screen
  • Your RomM account name and picture in the main menu (#452)
  • Managed installers for emulators, with add, variant and remove
  • Copy a save into any slot and play from it
  • Region filter in the Library
  • Turn off the clock, battery and network indicators in Settings > Interface (#451)

Improvements

  • Save Sync puts every save slot for a game on one card, with conflicts in their own list
  • Save identification uses the server's title ID when Argosy has none
  • Reconnecting after being offline settles before syncing and paces uploads instead of sending everything at once, and connecting no longer blocks the interface
  • Reset any custom folder to its default, including the image cache, music and BIOS folders
  • Sync region filters are a simple include/exclude list
  • Library filter tabs scroll sideways instead of squeezing the last category
  • Download-all in a category asks before it starts
  • Library link tiles on the custom Home grid can filter by series
  • Multi-file downloads keep the server's folder layout, with an option to name download folders after the ROM
  • The file picker shows title, series and tags on their own rows
  • Game details launches the variant you played last instead of asking every time
  • Keep quality, audio and subtitle choices across episodes in one watch session
  • Custom accent colours are lifted to readable contrast in both themes
  • Library validation runs weekly and reclaims a path before dropping a game
  • Preferences load off the main thread for a smoother start

Bug Fixes

  • Fix regional copies of a game being merged into one entry, which reported play and saves under the wrong ROM (#461)
  • Fix missing cover art for games whose art lives on the server
  • Fix save sync overlooking unsent local saves in named slots, and a save restored from cache not being confirmed with the server
  • Fix a freeze when a game resumes from its auto-save
  • Fix Collections and category screens crashing on large libraries
  • Fix Steam games that lost their Steam source, and fetch their covers from the store's library art
  • Fix Remove downloads in the media library menu doing nothing
  • Fix two platforms with the same name both showing as selected in the Library filter
  • Fix the focused tile on the custom Home grid drawing under its neighbours
  • Fix a bezel set to None not staying None
  • Fix reviews showing an ID instead of the reviewer's name
