Version 1.2.6
Release date: 2022-08-03
Release overview
This release enables a lot of systems by adding new platforms altogether and by including emulator configuration for previous placeholder entries. A number of additional standalone emulators have been added as well. The newly released PCSX2 Qt standalone emulator has replaced the old PCSX2 release which has been designated a legacy emulator. Connection timeout support has also been added to the scraper which among other things makes it possible to continue scraping after resuming a computer that went to sleep when the scraper was running.
