New feature release with support for a few more emulators is coming soon

• Fixed the game list for yuzu not showing your games,

This bug has been in the code since v0.13.6 but since I never had any games, I didn't notice.

Full Changelog: v0.13.9...v0.13.10

What do I download?

1. Download Emulator.Manager.v0.13.10.zip from the assets below.
2. Extract the ZIP file
3. Launch Emulator Manager.exe inside the extracted folder.

Why?

The EXE option was created using pyinstaller's --onefile option. This option creates an EXE that attempts to unload the files needed in a temporary directory located in C:\users{user}\AppData\Local\Temp. If, for whatever reason, this is inaccessible, it can cause issues. This is why I recommend that you download the zip option. The ZIP option can also become portable, while the EXE option cannot (for the reason above). To do this create a file called PORTABLE.txt in the directory that you run Emulator Manager from.

What's Changed

• Improve the auto firmware and key install feature.

  • Will now only install the latest common version that is available
  • Do not prompt installs for versions greater than 18.0.0 for yuzu as it is unlikely it will work
  • Warn users if currently installed firmware or keys is above 18.0.0
  • Will no longer show an error if versions have not been fetched, it will simply attempt to fetch the versions.
  • Will attempt to install the version of a missing firmware or key to match a currently installed version
  • Checks for mismatch of versions and upgrades one of the two to the other's version if possible

• Add discontinued message for yuzu in early access too (only installed through custom archives will work)

• Disable checking for updates for yuzu

• updated discord URL invite to a permanent one - https://viren070.github.io/Emulator_Manager/discord

• UI fixes for switch SavesBrowser menu

  • scrollbar will no longer cover the buttons
  • buttons will always fill entire window
  • text is much less likely to be cut off by window
  • keep text centred

• Bump idna from 3.6 to 3.7 by @dependabot in #32

Notes

I've switched to my own repo for titledb downloads. It all should work and you will see much smaller file sizes for titledb downloads too. Hopefully everything still works fine.

Notes

For whatever reason, the titleDB repo i was using got deleted, and so did the user. Even the code I wrote to fetch the saves stopped working. This is why I created a new release, otherwise I was going to wait till I added a few more emulators till releasing. This release was created in haste, so there may be a few bugs. Please report any using the link below.

What's Changed

• Fix bug with app updates not working and causing a crash for new users.
• Bump the python-packages group with 1 update by @dependabot in #28

Full Changelog: v0.13.4...v0.13.5

Note

Due to exams, no further updates will be made to this project unless a major bug is found for now.

What's Changed

• Bump py7zr from 0.20.8 to 0.21.0 in #27
• Add Disable automatic emulator updates - when you launch an emulator, it will not attempt to update it. Holding shift while clicking the launch button reverses the setting, e.g. Holding shift with this setting enabled will update the emulator and holding shift with the setting disabled will skip updating the emulator.
• Ability to provide your own token when clicking the login with GitHub button.
• Fix for the save downloads not working if you authorised with GitHub. Never mind, still not fixed
• Show a warning on the My ROMs menu if a ROM directory has not been set

Full Changelog: v0.13.3...v0.13.4

ITS JOEVER
With yuzu being discontinued, launching mainline with automatic updates enabled will result in an error, It will still launch any currently installed versions of yuzu. Early access Yuzu will still download properly (for now), so I suggest switching to the early access channel for now.

Changelog

• When downloading ROMs for Dolphin or Xenia, the app will now ask the user if they want to download the ROM in the current directory or not rather than silently failing when the ROM directory has not been set. Fixes #25
• When running the app from another drive and not in portable mode, the app will no longer fail to add the titleDB to cache. Fixes #26

Full Changelog: v0.13.2...v0.13.3
