Decomp Buddy 0.30.6

Download: decompbuddy.com/download

• Phone Link: get ready for Decomp Buddy Remote, our upcoming iPhone app. Switch it on in Settings → Phone and your phone can browse the catalog, install games to this computer, update them and start them - on your home Wi-Fi only, encrypted, and off until you turn it on.
• Sending games to another computer no longer shares this computer's network name.

• Game File Finder: add the folders where you keep your own game files (Settings → Game File Library) and Decomp Buddy tells you how many catalog games they can play on this computer. Show Them lists them in Browse, and the new "Games I Have Files For" filter keeps them there.

Decomp Buddy 0.30.4

• Search is smarter: words can be in any order, numbers match Roman numerals ("God of War 3" finds God of War III), and the best matches come first.

Decomp Buddy 0.30.3

Download: decompbuddy.com/download

• Coming Soon now shows box art for games that have a known cover.
• Catalog: 1,750+ games, with new sources (Recomp Haven and unbaked.games) checked every day.

Decomp Buddy 0.30.2

• Fixed: using your own Claude key with newer Claude models failed with "The compiled grammar is too large". Decomp Buddy now falls back to asking for plain JSON and checks the answer itself.

• Box art for many more games: 12 more console packs (MS-DOS, arcade, Saturn, PS3/PS4, Wii U and more) and smarter title matching. When two different games share a name, Decomp Buddy leaves the cover blank rather than guess.
• Windows builds named "-PC-" are recognized as Windows downloads.
• The admin tools are locked to the developer's computer.
• Malware scan: a scan that runs out of time no longer counts as a flag, and downloads that arrive garbled are retried.

Decomp Buddy 0.30.0

Download: decompbuddy.com/download - Mac (Apple Silicon + Intel, signed and notarized), Windows (installer or portable), Linux (AppImage or .deb).

The big one

• Downloads are scanned for malware (ClamAV), and a game marked Scanned For Malware only ever installs the exact file that was scanned - if a project swaps the file, it waits for a new scan. The first full scan of the catalog is finishing now; new games and new versions are scanned before they're listed.
• New versions wait 48 hours and must come from the project's usual uploader before anyone gets them.
• Auto Update: check on a schedule (every 15 minutes to once a day), install updates by themselves (saves backed up first), keep running in the tray, start with your computer. Per game: Auto Update on/off, Skip This Version, Pick Any Version.
• Meta Quest and Android: install Quest ports (Team Beef's Doom, Quake, Half-Life, Ocarina of Time VR, Majora's Mask VR, GoldenEye VR and more) and Android ports onto a headset or phone over USB.
• Windows games on Linux and Steam Deck through the Proton builds Steam already has (or umu-run, or Wine), picked per game.

Also new

• How Did It Run? - Runs Well / Has Issues / Doesn't Run, with totals for computers like yours, and a Runs Well On Computers Like Mine filter. Report Broken Download.
• AI Use labels (No AI Used / AI-Assisted / Made With AI), only from what the project's own README says, quoted.
• Thunderstore mods (with their dependencies) for the N64 Recomp games and HarbourMasters ports; adult mods hidden unless you choose.
• Codeberg projects, ARM computers (Windows on ARM, ARM Linux), more download types (.deb, .run, .msi, AppImage, single programs).
• Controllers on every screen, button remapping, Nintendo layout, the Steam Deck keyboard in text boxes.
• Make It Yours: accent color, background picture and music, Grid / List / Compact layouts. Interface Size 50-200%.
• Kiosk Mode for arcade cabinets and shared PCs (PIN to leave).
• Remove A Game (to the Trash), rename, tag and hide games, desktop shortcuts, a log when a game won't start, a news banner, a GitHub lookup counter, and --run / --update / --uninstall on the command line.
• Fixed: 164 games whose Update reinstalled the same old version.

Privacy: still no account, no ads and no tracking. Player reports are sent only when you send one; usage stats only if you tick the box (off by default, no ID, and the app shows exactly what's sent).
