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
- Added extensive es_systems.cfg templates for Unix and Windows
- Updated the application to compile and work on Microsoft Windows, including full UTF-16 (Unicode) support
- Seamless (almost) launch of games without showing the desktop when starting and returning from RetroArch and other emulators
- Per-game launch command override, so that different cores or emulators can be used on a per-game basis (saved to gamelist.xml)
- Core location can be defined relative to the emulator binary using the %EMUPATH% varible in es_systems.cfg (mostly useful for Windows)
- 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
- Added proper error handling for missing resource files and improved overall logging
- 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 now generate .deb, .rpm and NSIS installation packages)
- Added support for Clang/LLVM, made the application build with no errors or warnings using this compiler (Unix only)
- 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 created scripts to easily generate these index files in the future)
Bug fixes
- Metadata editor insisted that changes were made although nothing was updated Note: The editor will still ask for save confirmations after automatically rounding fractional game ratings to half-star values
- Game images were sometimes scaled incorrectly
- Non-transparent favorite icons were not rendered correctly
- Restart and power-off menu entries not working (at least not on my desktop OS)
- Toggling the screensaver didn't work as expected
- Lots and lots of small bugs and inconsistencies fixed
