LUNA 2.0.0 Stable

Library and controls

  • Replaced Grid with a new 3D view: a 6x4 display of game cases, a larger selected cover, focus animation, and page navigation.
  • Refined its cover/disc layouts, artwork transitions, and paging.
  • Improved Collections cover layering, glide, previews, and held L2/R2 fast scanning.
  • Improved Orbit navigation, depth, artwork reuse, and Random Scan; navigation cancels a scan.
  • Refined Scroll with title/logo artwork and placeholders for missing images. (Experimental)
  • Added view switches in Options. List, Collections, Orbit, and 3D are enabled by default; Scroll remains optional. LUNA remembers the selected view.
  • Added left-stick menu navigation and clearer button prompts.
  • Added an R1 quick menu for Favorites, Options, and Orbit Random Scan. Favorites filtering now works across all library views, with direct R1 button shortcuts.

Appearance and settings

  • Reworked Options into Game, Global, Views, and Orbs tabs, with smoother selection, clearer save feedback, and glass-theme previews.
  • Added glass colors, a PSBBN font choice, and more background choices: Red Clouds, Midnight Cubes, and System Configuration, alongside Stars & cubes and Ambient Orbs.
  • Added PS2 original/LUNA orb behavior and appearance, plus separate orb and tail colors.
  • Refined the splash screen, glass panels, stars, crystals, menu transitions, and System Configuration rendering. Corrected backdrop artifacts and improved font texture retention.
  • Added global and per-game PS2 startup-logo settings, saved video-output modes, field flipping, compatibility controls, and a per-game option to disable IGR.
  • Experimental features are labeled Experimental and can cause slowdowns on PS2 hardware. This includes background options and Scroll view.

Artwork and responsiveness

  • Added artwork preloading, shared caches, and thumbnail reuse across views.
  • Improved artwork priority over music, cache cleanup, and texture reuse during scrolling and view changes.
  • Added oversized-cover safeguards: selected artwork keeps the highest resolution that safely fits the texture budget. Images are reduced proportionally when necessary, and textures that cannot fit use a smaller preview or placeholder.

Storage, cards, and runtime

  • Added Storage Devices to enable, disable, and rescan connected sources, save preferences, and configure the UDPFS console IP address. Internal ATA/exFAT HDD remains the supported performance target.
  • Added a main menu with storage access, Virtual Memory Cards, File Explorer, Exit, and Shutdown, including access when no games are found.
  • Added VMC creation and per-game slot assignment, card validation, and more reliable settings and card-file writes. APA/PFS VMCs are supported for HDL games using the mounted metadata partition, normal boot, 8 KiB PFS zones, and card files within the supported fragment limits. See the README for details.
  • Added a File Explorer with copying, moving, renaming, and folder creation. Its current interface is marked Under construction and requires an access code.
  • Improved in-game return to LUNA and physical power-button handling.

Music and package

  • Music is now optional. The soundtrack is supplied separately in Ambient-Music-Add-On; it is not installed in APP_LUNA by default.
  • To add music, copy only ambient.wav into mc0:/APP_LUNA, restart LUNA, and enable Triangle → Global → Ambient sound, then save with Start. See the included README for instructions and removal steps.
  • Updated the README, credits, source-fork references, and installation guidance. The complete FMCB package includes matching runtime files, licenses, and SHA-256 checksums.

Install

Download LUNA-v2.0.0-FMCB-mc0.zip, extract it, and copy the complete APP_LUNA folder to mc0:/APP_LUNA. Point your FMCB entry to mc0:/APP_LUNA/luna.elf. Games and artwork stay on the HDD. The application uses about 1.4 MB on the memory card; optional music adds about 1.3 MB.

Validation

The hardware launcher and matching Neutrino runtime built successfully. Host tests, the runtime memory-budget check, package checksums, and all archived file contents passed verification.
