Version 2.2.0

Release date: 2023-11-02

Release overview

The 2.2 release adds many new features like cleanup tools for orphaned data, file hash searching for the scraper, clipboard paste support, ability to change systems sorting from the GUI and more complete Unicode support. It's now possible to rescan the ROM directory and to update/create the ROM directory tree from the new Utilities menu, both without restarting the application.

New theme engine functionality has been implemented such as rounded corners for images, videos and animations, horizontally scrolling text containers and stationary elements. Rendering accuracy has been improved, especially font rendering which now has a higher quality across all types of devices and screen resolutions.

Support has been added for many new systems and emulators, and on Linux there is now support for running Windows emulators using Wine or Proton.

On the infrastructure level a significant portion of the homecooked filesystem code has been replaced with functionality from the C++ Standard Library and a large amount of refactoring has been made to clean up and simplify the codebase. As part of this cleanup legacy theme support has been completely removed.

In addition to the above many bugs have been fixed and the application has received a lot more polish as well as numerous quality of life improvements.

Version 2.1.1

Release date: 2023-07-16

Release overview

2.1 maintenance release. This mostly fixes a regression where some arcade controller boards stopped working, but it also includes a few other minor changes.

Detailed list of changes

Added support for a lot more emoji characters by bundling the Google Noto Emoji font
Changed the media viewer to using linear interpolation scaling for the miximages
(Linux) Added ~/.local/share/applications/ as an additional search path for AppImages and manually downloaded emulators

Bug fixes

Version 2.1.0

Release date: 2023-07-13

Release overview

The 2.1 release brings a new look to ES-DE by changing the default menu color scheme from light to dark. There is however a setting to revert to the light color scheme if that's preferred. Scraping and viewing of PDF game manuals has also been added, with the PDF viewer being reachable from the gamelist media viewer.

Miximages will now be generated with a proper image fit if the screenshot aspect ratio doesn't match the miximage frame. This will for instance occur for widescreen systems and vertically oriented arcade shooters. There are multiple new options to control this behavior in the miximage settings menu. System sorting has also been improved, making it possible to use a separate es_systems_sorting.xml file in the custom_systems directory, meaning it's no longer required to add systemsortname tags to the es_systems.xml file.

For the Linux AppImage releases a built-in application updater has been added so that future versions can be installed automatically. Apart from all these changes many smaller improvements have been made and a couple of new systems have been added.

Version 2.0.0

Release date: 2023-03-11

Release overview

The 2.0 release introduces multiple fundamental changes to the application, most notably a new theme engine which brings various new concepts. The traditional view styles (basic/detailed/video/grid) have been replaced with only system and gamelist views in addition to variants, which are essentially theme profiles. These are much more flexible than view styles and can be freely defined by the theme author. The new engine is also fully generalized and almost all theme elements can be used anywhere and in unlimited numbers. Many of these elements and properties are new additions as well.

Theme variants, color schemes, aspect ratios and transitions can now be defined by the theme author and are user-selectable from within the menu system. In addition to all this new theme functionality the application is still backward compatible with legacy theme sets.

The renderer has been modernized and rewritten and while still using OpenGL it's now fully shader-based instead of using a fixed function pipeline as was the case in previous releases. Tate mode (vertical screen orientation) support has been added including the ability to rotate screen contents within the application window. Rendering performance has been greatly improved in some areas such as post processing (used for video player scanline and blur shaders among other things). A new SVG rendering library named LunaSVG has been introduced which offers much better file compatibility than before, while doing it with better performance.

Overall application speed and performance has been greatly improved with faster startup times, less latency and lower CPU utilization. Many bugs have been fixed and multiple quality of life improvements have been made. Support for a lot more systems and standalone emulators has also been included with this release, see below for more details.

modern-DE: Small adjustment to make the help system fit on screen at all times

Version 1.2.0

Release date: 2021-12-28

Release overview

The 1.2 release introduces multiple new features and brings extensive bug fixing and lots of other small improvements. Support for alternative emulators has been added which can be selected system-wide or per game. These alternative emulators are added to the es_systems.xml file, making it easy to expand or customize the configuration. For this release most of the available RetroArch cores have been preconfigured, and a couple of standalone emulators have been included as well.

A virtual keyboard has been added (some code borrowed from Batocera.linux) which is fully integrated and can be used to input text via a game controller. By introducing this feature, a keyboard should now be completely optional for day-to-day use.

Another new feature is support for badges that display icons in the gamelist view indicating favorite games, completed games, game-specific controllers etc. Note that these badges require support from the theme set. And on the topic of theme sets, a new theme named modern-DE has been included with the installation as an alternative to the default rbsimple-DE theme.

The scraper has been improved and expanded, and in addition to the previously supported media it can now scrape box back covers, title screens and physical media images (cartridges, diskettes, tapes, CD-ROMs etc.). These physical media images are also included in the generated miximages, although that can be disabled using a menu option.

As for supported platforms, v1.2 brings official support for the Raspberry Pi 4/400, both for the 32-bit (armv7l) and 64-bit (aarch64) versions of Raspberry Pi OS.

Apart from all the above, a huge amount of work has gone into fixing bugs, refactoring the code and optimizing for performance. The language standard has been increased from C++14 to C++17 and the built-in vector and matrix data types and functions have been replaced with the GLM (OpenGL Mathematics) library equivalents.

Text containing invalid (partial) Unicode characters could crash the application
Deleting the last custom collection could crash the application if the grouped "collections" system was set as the startup gamelist
Connecting a controller with buggy drivers could crash the application
Setting an invalid UIMode value in the configuration file could crash the application
Setting an invalid scraper service value in the configuration file could crash the application
When scraping in interactive mode with "Auto-accept single game matches" enabled, the game name could not be refined if there were no games found
When scraping in interactive mode, the game counter was not decreased when skipping games, making it impossible to skip the final games in the queue
When scraping in interactive mode, "No games found" results could be accepted using the "A" button
When scraping in interactive mode, any refining done using the "Y" button shortcut would not be shown when doing another refine using the "Refine search" button
When scraping in interactive mode, the first result row would get focused after the search completed even if the cursor was moved to a button beneath the list
The multi-scraper did not update the filter index
Multi-scraping and aborting before any games were fully scraped but after some game media was downloaded did not trigger a gamelist reload
(Windows) Launching a game that changed the screen resolution would offset the ES-DE application window when exiting
(Windows) Enabling the option to hide the taskbar would sometimes not focus the application window on startup (possibly only an issue on Windows 8.1)
If there were gamelist.xml entries for existing files whose extensions were not setup in es_systems.xml, these would still get loaded and displayed
Fixed multiple minor rendering issues where graphics would be slightly cut off or incorrectly sized
Under some circumstances ScrollableContainer (used for the game descriptions) would contain a partially rendered bottom line
If the TextListComponent height was not evenly dividable by the font height + line spacing, a partial bottom row would get rendered
The line spacing for TextListComponent was incorrectly calculated for some resolutions such as 2560x1440
Fixed multiple issues with scaling of images which led to various inconsistencies and sometimes cut-off graphics
The system time zone was not taken into consideration when using the Unix epoch which lead to various strange problems in the metadata editor
Removing games from custom collections did not remove their filter index entries
Enabling the All Games collection lead to a potentially large memory leak under some circumstances
Input consisting of only whitespace characters would get accepted by TextEditComponent which led to various strange behaviors

When navigating menus, the separator lines and menu components did not align properly and moved up and down slightly
Under some circumstances and at some screen resolutions, the last menu separator line would not get rendered (still an issue at extreme resolutions like 320x240)
When scrolling in menus, pressing other buttons than "Up" or "Down" did not stop the scrolling which caused all sorts of weird behavior
With the menu scale-up effect enabled and entering a submenu before the parent menu was completely scaled up, the parent would get stuck at a semi-scaled size
The launch screen text had ugly scaling artifacts if the menu opening effect was set to "Scale-up"
The custom collection deletion screen had incorrect row heights when running at lower resolutions such as 1280x720
If there was an abbreviated full system name for the "Gamelist on startup" option, that abbreviation would also get displayed when opening the selector window
Really long theme set names would not get abbreviated in the UI settings menu, leading to a garbled "Theme set" setting row
Disabling a collection while its gamelist was displayed would lead to a slide transition from a black screen if a gamelist on startup had been set
When marking a game to not be counted in the metadata editor and the game was part of a custom collection, no collection disabling notification was displayed
When running really low on texture memory, the menu texture would not get rendered correctly
At low screen resolutions, logos on the System view carousel would sometimes jump down a pixel when scaling down
There was a tiny and randomly occuring gap between the system carousel and systemInfo bar during slide transitions between the System and Gamelist views
The "no games" dialog did not have correct line wrapping when running at 1280x1024
SliderComponent had very inconsistent widths at different screen aspect ratios

When the last row of a menu had its text color changed, this color was completely desaturated when navigating to a button below the list

Version 1.1.0

Release date: 2021-08-10

Release overview

The 1.1 release brings many large changes including a fullscreen media viewer, a game launch screen, a miximage generator, a new video player and a new controller API featuring automatic controller configuration and controller profiles.

A much better mechanism to find emulators and emulator cores has been implemented as well, which among other things removes the need to manually modify the Path variable on Windows to find RetroArch. It also eliminates the requirement for a separate Flatpak-specific es_systems.xml file on Linux.

There are also several changes under the hood, such as the addition of the CImg image processing library, automatic code formatting of the entire codebase using clang-format, change of language standard from C++11 to C++14 and lots of general code refactoring.

Apart from this, numerous small improvements and bug fixes are part of the release, as detailed below.

Detailed list of changes

Added a miximage generator that can be run automatically from the scraper and which includes comprehensive options, configurable from the menu
Added an offline generator GUI for the miximage generator which can be used for bulk miximage generation without going via the scraper
Added a fullscreen game media viewer
Added a game launch screen that displays the marquee image, the game name and the system name
Added a new video player based on FFmpeg
Added a 60 FPS frame rate upscaler option to the video player which results in slightly smoother playback for low frame rate videos (e.g. 24 and 30 FPS)
Implemented a new mechanism for locating emulators and cores, with configurable find rules (this eliminates some hacks such as the separate Flatpak es_systems.cfg file)
Added a Windows-specific find rule that searches the Registry for the App Paths keys, which eliminates the need to modify the Path manually to find RetroArch
Removed the deprecated %COREPATH% setting and corresponding menu entry
The "Run in background (while game is launched)" option can now be enabled on all operating systems instead of only on Windows
Added a workaround for a game launch issue on Windows when using AMD and Intel GPUs
Moved to the SDL GameController API which gives numerous improvements to the controller handling
Default controller configuration is now automatically applied, input configuration should rarely if ever be required any longer except for deliberate button customization
Added support for selecting the controller type (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS4, PS5 and SNES), which changes the help icons, help text and the input configuration tool icons and text
Added an option to limit the input in ES-DE to only the first controller (this does not affect the emulators)
Switched the order of the "Back" and "Start" buttons (or equivalents) in the input configurator to align with the other button entries which go from left to right
Added separate controller deadzone values for the triggers and thumbsticks
Removed the startup notification regarding default keyboard mappings being in use, instead default mappings are now considered the recommended input configuration
The controller input configuration is not automatically started any longer if there is no es_input.cfg file or if there are no applicable configuration entries in the file
Increased the max allowed size for images when scraping, which should now only downscale files which really need it
Changed the resampling algorithm for image downscaling for the scraper from bilinear to Lanczos which results in noticeably sharper images
Added a configurable option to automatically retry scraping up to eight times in case of ScreenScraper TLS errors
Changed the button for jumping to a random system or game and added a setting for enabling or disabling the functionality altogether
The help text for the "A" button now shows "Enter" instead of "Launch" in the grouped custom collections view
Added navigation sounds for some actions where it was missing, such as when attempting to add folders, placeholders or systems to custom collections
Changed the custom collection "Jump to" navigation sound to the select sound instead of the scroll sound
A notification is now displayed in the grouped custom collections view if a filter is applied to the selected collection
Changed the default screensaver type from "dim" to "video" and made the fallback screensaver "dim" instead of "black"
Moved the video screensaver audio setting to the sound settings menu
Added support for the Nintendo Switch game system (using the Yuzu emulator)
Added an option to use plain ASCII characters for the favorite, folder and tickmark symbols, which makes some themes with very pixelated fonts look coherent
Created a new main menu entry for input device settings
Moved the input device configuration tool to the input device settings menu
Adjusted the size and position of the various menus to accomodate one additional entry on the screen
The quit menu is now disabled by default, instead showing the "Quit EmulationStation" entry unless configured otherwise
Removed the "Display game media from ROM directories" setting as it doesn't make sense to support this legacy functionality any longer
Added support for using the %ESPATH% and %ROMPATH% variables in the slideshow screensaver custom image directory setting

Enabled the menu scale-up effect for the OpenGL ES renderer
Renamed es_systems.cfg, es_settings.cfg and es_input.cfg to es_systems.xml, es_settings.xml and es_input.xml
Changed the es_systems.xml logic so it loads from the program resources directory by default (a customized file can be placed in ~/.emulationstation/custom_systems)
Added a %HIDEWINDOW% variable which can be used in the es_systems.xml file on Windows, primarily intended for hiding console windows when launching scripts
Added support for using the %ESPATH% variable in the media directory setting
Removed the marquee image from rbsimple-DE as it's now baked into the miximages
Set the gamelist video scanline rendering option to disabled by default
Changed the setting description for the favorites game toggling button
Simplified and improved the setup of portable installations on Windows
Converted all navigation sound files to stereo as previously it was a mix of mono and stereo files (done for rbsimple-DE and the fallback sounds)
The themes and scripts directories are now automatically created during startup
Cleaned up some application startup messages
The application version is now saved to es_settings.xml, which can be used in the future to notify the user after upgrades to a newer release
Added a DebugSkipInputLogging option which is intended primarily for development and needs to be manually set in es_settings.xml
Added the CImg library as a Git subtree and created some utility functions for it (used by the miximage generator and the game launch screen)
Added a function to ImageComponent to crop fully transparent areas around an image
Added and clarified startup log warnings for missing or invalid es_systems.xml platform tags
Added a CMake option to control whether the VLC video player should be built, and set this to off by default
Made it possible to build on the Raspberry Pi 4 (tested on Raspberry Pi OS)
Removed the deprecated VideoOmxComponent
Removed the pointless APPLE_SKIP_INSTALL_LIBS CMake option

Formatted the entire codebase using clang-format
Integrated clang-tidy with CMake and made it possible to enable it via a flag
Added the NanoSVG library as a proper Git subtree
Changed the language standard from C++11 to C++14

Bug fixes

Marking all games as favorites for a system or folder or removing all favorite markings would sometimes crash the application
Scraping new game media using the single-game scraper followed by a re-scrape that was aborted could crash the application
The scraper search could be refined or skipped after the result was accepted which sometimes crashed the application
Attempting to load a non-existent font file defined by the theme crashed the application instead of using the bundled font as fallback
Refining a search before it was completed and then cancelling the dialog would lead to an empty scraper screen
Game media would sometimes not get displayed after single-game scraping

Version 1.0.1

Release date: 2021-05-01

Release overview

v1.0 maintenance release.

Detailed list of changes

Added support for the new RetroArch v1.9.2 default core directory location on macOS

Bug fixes

Fixed high DPI display support on macOS

Version 1.0.0

Release date: 2021-04-20

Release overview

First release, a major update to the application compared to the RetroPie version on which it is based. This includes new gamelist sorting logic, new game media handling and an updated Windows port as well as a macOS port. The menu system has also been completely overhauled and the scraper has been expanded to support multiple media types as well as providing detailed scraping configuration options.

Full navigation sound support has been implemented, and the metadata editor has seen a lot of updates including color coding of all changes done by the user and by the scraper. Favorite games can now also be sorted on top of the gamelists and game collections.

OpenGL GLSL shader support has been added (not for the OpenGL ES renderer though) and there are multiple effects implemented such as scanlines for videos, blurred background when opening menus etc.

A new default theme rbsimple-DE (based on Recalbox Multi) is bundled with the application and is part of the installation package/installer. Theme sets created for the RetroPie EmulationStation fork will still work.

Many bugs have been fixed, and numerous features that were only partially implemented or broken have been updated to a fully working state. The application runs much faster as well due to lots of optimizations.

Detailed list of changes

Initial version, fork from RetroPie EmulationStation 2.10.0rp-dev (master)

Moved all resources to a subdirectory structure and enabled the CMake install prefix variable to generate the resources search path
Changed the theme set directory to the install prefix (e.g. /usr/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, the ES-DE executable 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.
Speed improvements and optimizations, the application now starts faster and feels more responsive
Added new component GuiComplexTextEditPopup to handle changes to configuration file entries and similar
Added full UTF-16 (Unicode) support on Windows
Removed the PowerSaver
Game counting is now done during sorting instead of every time a system is selected. This should make the UI more responsive in case of large game libraries
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
Replaced the custom math functions with standard C++ functions whenever possible
Implemented proper random functions using Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generators (it actually makes a practical difference)
Modernized the audio code, for example using SDL_AudioStream instead of the older SDL_AudioCVT
Overhaul of application settings, now the configuration file is only updated when there have been actual configuration changes
Decreased CPU usage dramatically by only rendering the currently visible view (previously all views were always rendered)
Updated the CMake/CPack install and package configuration files to work as expected (can now generate DEB, RPM, DMG and NSIS installation packages with correct dependencies)
Added support for Clang/LLVM, made the application build with no errors or warnings using this compiler (Unix and macOS only)
Added support for both MSVC and MinGW (GCC) on Windows
License files are now included for all the libraries and resources that are bundled with the application
Updated the MAME index files to include ROMs up to MAME version 0.230 and created scripts to easily generate these index files in the future
Greatly expanded the application documentation (which is hosted in the ES-DE repository on GitLab)

Bug fixes

On Unix, adding a hidden folder with a game in it crashed the application on startup
If the user tried to enter a blank game name in the metadata editor, the application would crash upon saving
Switching to the Grid view style with a placeholder shown in the gamelist crashed the application
FileSystemUtil::getDirContent crashed when searching through directories recursively
Large text sizes at higher resolutions (such as 4K) would crash the application as fixed-size texture buffers were used which weren't big enough to hold the larger font textures
Fixed a massive memory leak related to SVG images
Fixed an issue where SVG images would sometimes be cut off slightly on the right side (e.g. logos on the system view carousel)
The audio volume control did not detect if there was a new default audio device or if the audio volume had been changed outside ES-DE
The scraper didn't handle error conditions correctly
The metadata editor insisted that changes had been made although nothing was updated
Sorting by number of players did not work properly for games with ranges such as 1-2 or 1-8
Restart and power-off menu entries not working on any of the tested operating systems
Toggling the screensaver didn't work as expected
The setting to enable or disable audio for the video screensaver only worked on Raspberry Pi
The screensaver random function did not consider the previously selected game and could potentially show the same image or video over and over again
The random system selection did not consider the currently selected system
The random game selection did not consider the currently selected game
The random game selection traversed folders, i.e. a game could be selected inside a subdirectory and vice versa
The controller D-PAD could not be used for entering the UI mode change passkey
Filters were not applied when leaving folders using the back button
The cursor stack logic was not completely implemented for the Grid view style, making it largely broken
Editing long text entries made the cursor jump outside the editing field
Long words would sometimes render partly outside the designated text area instead of being abbreviated
Fixed an annoying gamelist issue that caused the game images and data to be updated and rendered up to six times every time the list was scrolled
Not all input events were logged when running with debug logging activated
Unknown command line options were silently accepted instead of halting the application startup and logging an error
Added a sanity check to the --resolution flag to keep the resolution within reason (and to avoid crashes when making a typo for this parameter)
Deleting a game from the metadata editor did not delete the game media files or its entry in the gamelist.xml file
Hidden files still showed up if they had a gamelist.xml entry
Fixed multiple instances of misaligned GUI elements on high-resolution displays due to the use of fixed-pixel constants
Fixed a rounding issue which caused single-pixel lines to sometimes be shown along the upper and left screen edges
The VRAM statistics overlay was somewhat broken and incorrectly displayed numbers in megabytes instead of mebibytes
Long game names would sometimes not scroll in the gamelist view
Game media was not rendered when moving between gamelists using the slide transition style
Wrapping around the first and last game systems generated strange camera movements when using the slide transition style
Some bundled graphics (resource files) displayed excessive texture pop-in under some circumstances
SystemView didn't properly loop the systems if only two systems were available
When changing to the video view style from inside a gamelist, the view was not completely initialized
Game images were sometimes scaled incorrectly
The rating component would sometimes not render immediately if using SVG graphics
Non-transparent favorite icons were not rendered correctly
The SliderComponent knob position was set incorrectly if the minimum value was not zero
The debug overlays didn't work for all image and text components
Lots and lots of additional small bugs and inconsistencies fixed
