Ludo v1.0.0-beta.9

PS2 saves that sync with Argosy, on top of v1.0.0-beta.8.

Highlights

• PS2 saves sync with Argosy. Your PS2 progress now moves between Ludo and Argosy, in both directions.

What's Changed

• Desktop: while a game is running, Ludo holds its notifications until you close it, and save messages show in RetroArch instead.

Fixes

• Fixed Eden saves from another device not restoring.
• Fixed PS2 saves from another device not reaching the game's memory card.
• Fixed repeated save notifications for PS2 games.

Ludo v1.0.0-beta.5

Fixed debug mode

Ludo v1.0.0-beta.4

Settings polish on top of v1.0.0-beta.3.

What's Changed

• Notifications is one section now. The switches and the corner picker were two headings for one subject; they are a single card, in the same shape as Library.
• "Show saves being uploaded" moved into it. The upload badge is a notification whether or not it is a toast, and the Saves heading existed only to hold that one row.
• The notification switches say what they do. "Turn off all notification types" and "Turn off connection related notifications", instead of explaining the reasoning behind them.
• The update panel no longer says the same thing twice. It labelled the release notes "What's new in v…" directly above a body that opens with its own "What's Changed", then printed raw markdown under it — literal ##, bullet syntax, "by @Someone in " on every line. It now shows one plain line per change.

Full Changelog: v1.0.0-beta.3...v1.0.0-beta.4

Ludo v1.0.0-beta.3

Highlights

• No more false "Back online" while you're offline. Going offline was debounced; coming back was not, so a single misleading answer — a captive portal, a stale proxy, a router that ACKs and drops — was enough to announce a reconnect and kick a save sync that then died on DNS. On a handheld that is genuinely offline the probe loop runs every 25s forever, so this repeated. Both edges are now debounced, and the connectivity probe no longer accepts a captive portal's 200 as "RomM is back".
• Notifications can be turned off. Settings ▸ Notifications carries a master switch and a separate one for the connect/disconnect pair, which on a device that sleeps, wakes and roams is the noisiest and least actionable of them. The mute reaches the RetroArch on-screen display and the notifications raised while the app is closed, not just the ones you can see. Your activity feed still records everything.
