…file. APPS now can be stored within their own folder, within the APP folders on the game devices.
Each app should have its own title.cfg file. For example, on a USB disk:
APPS/
LaunchELF/
BOOT.ELF
title.cfg
title.cfg needs the following lines, at least:
title=Your Application Title
boot=BOOTFILENAME.ELF
The old apps system is still supported.
The startup filename display now only displays the description of the device containing the ELF. It will still show the path to the ELF, for apps listed under the old format.
The HDD unit has a different implementation from other modes, as scanning the partitions on the HDD already takes way too long. Hence the cache is always used, unless the user manually refreshes the list or renames/deletes a game.
Not sure why it's even required, but it prevents longer (alternate) paths from being set.

As for the game list cache:
This feature allows the scanning of devices for games to be sped up, by caching the existence of games in a file.
For USB & SMB shares, the list is automatically maintained by OPL and it will cache ISO files that do not have the boot filename in their names (i.e. mygametitle.iso).
For the HDD unit, the game cache is used by default and will only be refreshed if you press the refresh button. Automatic refresh of the HDD unit is disabled because it does not make much sense; the HDD cannot be hot-plugged. This is because scanning through the HDD for games is slow, but it is impossible to check for changes in game content without scanning the HDD...
