Spectre 0.2 Changelog

Our 0.2 version is finally here! Sorry for taking a while, this update rewrote a lot of things from the 0.1 version and made the design look more like our final concepts.

Warning

Keep in mind, Spectre is still in a really early stage, this builds do not represent our vision of a final product, expect UI inconsistencies, bugs and crashes. In that case we would appreciate if you could open an issue on our bugs channel or directly on GitHub.

All

  • Added native support for Linux and Windows.
    • Spectre used ES-DE emulators files as a base to get every platform and emulator available on PC, however we can't check every emulator by hand, so if an emulator is missing/doesn't boot/boots incorrectly, please open an Issue.
  • Added a First Time Setup when booting for the first time.
    • This allows you to setup your ROMs file and scan your library before going to the home menu.
  • Added functionality to download the platform files directly from Github.
    • To detect your library/supported platforms/ROMs we need this platform files, this change allows us to patch some emulators launching weirdly or not launching at all without the need of you having to re-download another version of Spectre.
  • Added a cursor to highlight the currently selected item.
  • Added sound effects to most UI interactions.
  • Added animations to most UI elements.
    • We animated things like the Grid showing/hiding, games loading, etc.

Home Menu

  • The background now adapts to the currently selected game.
  • Added dragging and dropping inside the grid.
    • When hovering over a game (with the cursor or your mouse), hold press and then drag your game around to position it where u want.
  • Added forders to the grid!
    • When hovering over an empty space on the grid press Y (Xbox Layout) to open a context menu to create a New Folder
    • To add items to a folder, drag and drop a game into the folder icon!
    • You can drag and drop a game outside a folder to make it go back to the main grid.
    • Deleting a folder will make your games go back intro the main grid to avoid losing them.
  • Added context menus for some UI actions.
    • This includes creating a folder and deleting it, more actions (like edit data of games and folders) will be added in a future release.
  • Improved the navigation on the grid to be more consistent.
  • The battery icon now matches your real battery status (On desktop platforms with no battery, the icon will auto-hide).
  • The Wifi icon now matches your real Wifi strength and also adapts to your conection method (LAN, Wifi or Mobile Data)

Settings

  • Improved the Settings UI
  • Added an option to change the UI scale.
  • Added an option to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode (Not available on Android)
  • Added an option to open the app folder.
  • Added an option to hide the clock.
  • Added an option to show your battery percentage.
  • Added a Master volume option.
    • Allows you to change the entire app volume.
    • You can also change the volume of the Music and SFX separately.
  • Added an option to hide games backgrounds.
  • Added an option to change the Grid width and height values.
  • Added an option to change the Folder Grid width and height values.
  • Added an option to change the Grid pages indicator side.
  • Added an option to manually download your OS platform files.
  • Added an option to enable/disable recursive search when scanning your ROMs library.
  • Added ScreenScraper as a Scraping option
  • Added LaunchBoxDB as a Scraping option
    • LaunchBoxDB is a semi-offline scraper, it needs a 100mb metadata file for it to work.
    • To download the Metadata file, you can use the button added on the Scraping page.
    • The downloaded file contains all of the metadata possible on the database, and all of the links for game images.
    • Only game images are downloaded when scraping, metadata will always be fetched offline, making it faster than other scrapers.
    • It is recommended that you update the Metadata file every time you want to scrape your games.
  • Added the ability to change scrapers order.
    • Changing a scraper order will define which art source gets priority.
    • If a game gets scraped on ScreenScraper but some media is missing, it will finish scraping with the lower scraper, and so on.
  • Added an option to overwrite already scraped data.
  • Added an option to use a custom profile picture.
  • Added an option to use custom ScreenScraper credentials.

Android

  • Added Document Provider support.
    • When using the Android Files app, now you can find a Spectre button that will let you enter the app directory.
