EmuDOS 0.5.1

What's New in EmuDOS 0.5.1

🎮 Cheat Engine

• Built-in cheat engine — press F11 in any game to open a retro, neon-CRT memory scanner/editor. Search for a value (lives, health, money…), narrow it down, then edit it live.
• Freeze values — lock a value so the game can't change it back.
• Saved per game — found addresses persist between sessions; add or remove entries anytime.
• Address-range scans — optionally bound a search to a start/end address.
• Free-floating & remappable — drag it to a second monitor, and rebind the hotkey in Preferences → Hotkeys.

🃏 Game Cards

• Click any game for a detail card — box art, description, year, developer, genre, play time, and a Favorite toggle.
• Animated video previews — gameplay snaps play right on the card.
• Survives deletion — artwork, snaps, and details are kept even if you remove a game, so re-adding (or trying a different version) is instant.

🖼️ Artwork & Naming

• Much better matching — far more games now find their box art, descriptions, and previews, including numbered sequels, subtitled titles, and names with odd spacing or punctuation.
• Automatic clean titles — imported games are renamed to their proper names, with a manual "Rename from ScreenScraper" option for the rare stragglers.
• Background downloads — descriptions and details fetch quietly so cards are ready by the time you browse to them.

🔧 Compatibility & Fixes

• More CD games launch correctly — many disc-based games that previously dropped to a prompt or wouldn't start now boot straight in.
• Correct taskbar icon — fixed the blank taskbar button (a Windows 11 quirk).
• Sturdier diagnostics — the app now logs crashes and UI stalls to help track down issues.
