Your library, your way

  • Favourites: press F (Select on a controller) or ☆ Favourite to star a game. Starred games get their own Favourites shelf.
  • Play time: PyroCade counts how long you play each game and shows "12 h played" and "Last played yesterday". A Recently played shelf lists your last 30 games.
  • Sort, filter and random: under the shelf, Sort by title, year, play time or developer, Show only multiplayer, unplayed or one genre, or press ⚄ Random (left stick button on a controller).
  • PyroCade opens where you left it, and each system remembers the game you had selected.
  • Hide systems you don't use: an empty system has a Hide button, and Settings → Show turns any system on or off.

Playing

  • PyroCade no longer minimizes when a game starts. The game opens on top, and PyroCade comes back when it closes.
  • Hold Select + Start for 1.5 seconds to close the running game.
  • Multi-disc games: "(Disc 1)", "(Disc 2)"… files are now one game. Choose the disc to start with in the case view. PlayStation games get a playlist, so you can still swap discs in the emulator.
  • Your screenshots: screenshots you took in the emulator show under the open case.
  • One emulator per game: the Emulator button next to Play picks an emulator for just that game, such as a fork made for it.

Physical media

  • Solid cartridge and case models, rebuilt in the proportions of the real thing.
  • GameCube mini discs, PSP UMDs in their shell (downloaded UMD photos are shown as they are), black PlayStation discs, and small touches for Wii, Wii U and Dreamcast discs.
  • Settings → Show cases at their real sizes, and Settings → Used copies for scuffed cases and faded labels.

Fixes

  • SteamOS Game Mode (Steam Deck, Legion Go S): PyroCade could open in Desktop Mode but not from Steam in Game Mode. It now adjusts itself when Steam starts it, with no launch options needed. If it still doesn't open for you, please share ~/.config/PyroCade/data/logs/pyrocade.log.
  • After clicking something with the mouse, Enter, Space and the arrow keys work on the shelf again.
