New Features
- Variants are back, with better handling of each type. Regional copies of a game show as one Library entry, and you choose which copy to play when you download it or later with Active Variant in the game menu. Each copy keeps its own saves and states. Translations, demos and prototypes work the same way.
- Library list layout (Settings > Interface > Library), with a row per game showing play time against HowLongToBeat, achievements, friends playing, save and download state, and ratings. Collections use the same rows.
- Default Region and Default Players filters for the Library
- Set a game's completion percentage from Game Details (Ratings & Status); it syncs to RomM
- Artwork menu in Game Details for cover, background and logo, replacing the old cover options. Your choices stay on the device beside the server art.
- Custom home grid: set columns and rows separately, each fixed, fill or scrolling. Tiles that no longer fit are kept as hidden tiles you can place back.
- Install games on this device from RomM's web UI (RomM 5.4 and later, turn on Settings > Storage > Allow Remote Installs)
- Add SeedlessDS, Pizza Boy GBA Pro and Pizza Boy GB Pro
- On the AYN Thor, swapping screens carries a running built-in game to the other screen without restarting it
Improvements
- Dual-screen mode: hold SELECT to swap screens, and tap SELECT for the screen's normal action. Settings > Navigation > Screen Swap switches back to a press.
- Files in a platform's hack and mod folders are treated as patch files and no longer show up as playable games. Keep only the raw patch files there.
- The weekly automatic sync fetches only games that changed on RomM, with a full sync every two weeks. Manual sync is still a full sync.
- Downloaded archives with a single wrapper folder unpack straight into the game folder
- Paused downloads offer Resume, and netplay join downloads start right away
- Manuals scanned as two-page spreads show one spread at a time
- The save checkmark in built-in games now appears when the game itself writes its save
- The save manager works fully by touch
- Steam sign-in shows a retry option when it cannot reach Steam
Bug Fixes
- Fix Library sync overwriting ratings, status and completion edits that had not reached RomM yet
- Fix a hotkey on L2/R2 (like fast forward) also pressing the game's button on some controllers
- Fix View All for Android apps opening an empty library
- Fix screen number badges staying visible after the menu that showed them closed
