Raw Blame History

v1.0.0

General

  • Initial version, fork from RetroPie EmulationStation 2.10.0rp-dev (master)
  • Reorganization and general overhaul of the menu system, hopefully making it more intuitive and easy to understand
  • Many quality of life improvements and removal of GUI inconsistencies
  • New game media file logic using a media directory with files matching the ROM names instead of pointing to the media files in gamelist.xml
  • Updated scraper to support additional media files, detailed configuration of what to scrape, semi-automatic mode etc.
  • For single-game scraping, any values updated by the scraper are now highlighted using a different font color in the metadata editor
  • Gamelist sorting now working as expected and is persistent throughout the application session
  • Full navigation sound support, configurable per theme
  • New default theme 'rbsimple-DE' bundled with the software, this theme is largely based on 'recalbox-multi' by the Recalbox community
  • Seamless (almost) launch of games without showing the desktop when starting and returning from RetroArch and other emulators
  • Per-game launchstring override, so that different cores or emulators can be used on a per-game basis (saved to gamelist.xml)
  • Help system updated and expanded to the complete application (previously it was only partially implemented)
  • GUI-configurable option to sort favorite games on the top of the game lists (favorites marked with stars)
  • Added new component GuiComplexTextEditPopup to handle changes to configuration file entries and similar
  • Speed improvements and optimizations, the application now starts faster and feels more responsive
  • Moved all resources to a subdirectory structure and enabled the CMake install prefix variable to generate the resources search path
  • Changed theme directory to the install prefix (e.g. /usr/local/share/emulationstation/themes) with themes in the home directory taking precedence
  • No more attempts to open files directly under /etc, instead only the install prefix directory and the home directory are used
  • Refactoring, cleanup and documentation of the source code, removal of deprecated files etc.
  • All required fonts bundled with the application, no dependencies on the OS to provide them any longer
  • Made pugixml an external dependency instead of bundling it
  • Updated the cmake/cpack install and package build script to work as expected (can generate .deb and .rpm installation packages)
  • License files included for all the libraries and resources that are bundled with the application
  • Updated the MAME ROM index files to include ROMs up to MAME version 0.221 (and included new scripts to easily generate these index files)

Bug fixes

  • Metadata editor insisted that changes were made although nothing was updated
  • Game images were sometimes scaled incorrectly
  • Non-transparent favorite icons were not rendered correctly
  • Restart and power-off menu entries not working (at least on my desktop OS)
  • Toggling the screensaver didn't work as expected
  • Lots and lots of small bugs and inconsistencies fixed
