OmniEmu v0.1.1 — Second Pre-Release

Cross-platform emulator manager, game launcher, and ROM manager.

✨ What's New

🎮 2 New Emulators

Added to the one-click installer:

  • PPSSPP — PlayStation Portable (PSP)
  • melonDS — Nintendo DS

🔄 Auto-Update

Settings → Updates

OmniEmu now checks for new releases automatically and can:

  • Notify you when an update is available
  • Download the update
  • Install it with a single click

No more manually downloading new releases.

🌗 Light Mode

The theme selector now works correctly.

Choose between:

  • Dark
  • Light
  • System

🎯 Pick Your Emulator

Systems with multiple supported emulators can now choose which emulator launches games.

Examples:

  • PlayStation 1
  • Nintendo DS
  • Dreamcast
  • (More coming later)

📂 Smarter ROM Scanning

Simply drop ROMs into:

~/Documents/roms/

OmniEmu now automatically sorts them into the correct system folders.

Example:

game.iso → PSP

instead of every .iso being incorrectly detected as a PS1 game.

🖼️ Better Game Artwork

The artwork scraper is now much smarter.

Improvements include:

  • Falls back to MobyGames when artwork isn't found
  • Searches more sources for every game
  • Better overall cover detection

🍎 macOS Polish

  • Proper Dock icon
  • Proper menu bar icon
  • Better native macOS integration

🐞 Bug Fixes

🎮 Controller Navigation

  • D-pad no longer forces focus back to the sidebar
  • Sidebar only cycles when it is already focused
  • B / Circle now behaves like Escape, removing focus instead of jumping back to the sidebar

🔗 Fixed Emulator Downloads

All five broken emulator download links have been repaired.

Every one-click installer now works correctly.

📦 Built-in 7z Extraction

7z archives now extract out of the box.

No external 7-Zip installation is required on any platform.

🍺 Better MAME Installation (macOS)

If a direct download isn't available, OmniEmu now installs MAME automatically using Homebrew.

💿 Correct ISO Detection

ISO files are now detected by their folder instead of just their extension.

Example:

roms/psp/game.iso

is correctly detected as a PSP game instead of PlayStation 1.
