Current Features

Current LAUNCHSTATION features and navigation

This guide reflects the four visible tabs implemented in src/dash_main.c and the Home/Files integration on master after PRs #104 and #107.

Visible tab	User-facing behavior	Source
Home	Continue, pins, recents, favorites, nested Applications library and Last folder	src/dash_home.c, src/dash_apps.c
Files	Direct persistent File Browser, remembered folder and selection across tabs; device roots	src/dash_browser.c
Tools	MISC commands, USB unit diagnostics, Text Editor, HDD Manager, exploit installer, PS2Link/FTP, IGR and cloud actions where enabled	src/dash_tools.c
Settings	Appearance, app library folders, sound, input, launching, devices and backup/Drive options	src/dash_settings.c

Navigation: L1/R1 switches tabs. SELECT changes Grid/List/Carousel in Home's Applications library. The separate Apps and Devices internal screen constants are compatibility details, not extra visible top-level tabs.

Files and app roots

Default app scanning: mc:/APPS, mc:/BOOT, mass:/APPS, mass:/BOOT, each one subfolder deep. Adjust under Settings → Home & applications → Application library → Application folders. Other paths can still be browsed/launched from Files.

For storage, do not equate Not checked with physically absent. Lazy drivers start when selected. Logical USB mount numbers can change. Use Tools → USB unit diagnostics deliberately; a manual fileXio probe can block in an IOP RPC.

External game cores

• PS2 ISO → Neutrino (external ELF, configured or discovered with TOML sidecars).
• PS1 VCD → POPStarter (external launcher, own VCD and HDD argument conventions).
• PS1 CUE/BIN/EXE → Ember (external ELF), only under a save-safe <umbrella>/games/<Game>/ folder. The umbrella can be anywhere and can be named arbitrarily.
• For Ember on USB, the launcher rebuilds the storage IOP without resident PADMAN and confirms game identity after USB mount-number reassignment before final keep-IOP launch.
• Normal generic ELF reset preferences do not govern Neutrino or Ember's dedicated handoff.

These external programs, user BIOS and commercial games are not bundled. See the full web documentation for per-core setup and troubleshooting.
