Changelog

0.59-beta2

New features

  • Linux simulator (pkgj_sim): Full SDL2 + ImGui graphical simulator for development on Linux. Keyboard maps all Vita buttons; overlays (config editor, log viewer) work identically to the Vita build. Build with ./build.sh host or -DBUILD_SIM=ON in CMake.

Note

  • Skipped version 0.59 full to avoid conflicts with releases from other contributors (those may be merged in the future).

  • Log levels: Every log entry is now tagged [INFO], [WARN], or [ERR ]. The Log Viewer colors rows by level — red for errors, yellow for warnings, white for info. New macros: LOG_WARN, LOG_ERR, LOGFW, LOGFE for explicit leveling.

  • Log timestamps: All log lines carry a HH:MM:SS prefix.

  • Log module names: Each log line shows the source file stem, e.g. [downloader], [pkgi].

Improvements

  • Cover image panel proportions corrected: width 1.5× original, height 70% of that, top-aligned.
  • All log messages across 17+ source files rewritten for clarity and consistency.
  • Critical failure paths (download error, DB failure, OS primitive failures, PKG integrity, install errors) now emit [ERR ]-level entries; recoverable conditions emit [WARN].

Bug fixes

  • Fixed input hold-repeat broken by over-aggressive button state zeroing (.down is now preserved across overlay open/close).
  • Fixed Log Viewer not closing with Esc in simulator mode.
  • Fixed Config Editor and Log Viewer invisible in simulator (over-aggressive #ifndef PKGI_SIMULATOR guards removed).
  • Fixed has_imgui_overlay not including the Config Editor in simulator mode.- Fixed race / deadlock during rapid GameView open/close by refactoring ImageFetcher to share a single global worker slot (WorkerSlot::image_worker()), avoid per-instance blocking joins, and prevent duplicate concurrent downloads.- Fixed Log Viewer navigation to use input.active (same repeat rate as the main game list).

0.59-beta1

What's new:

  • Added a PSP game details view with cover art, metadata, diagnostics, and personal notes.
  • Added explicit PSP install actions in game view: install as ISO, plus queue as PBP in LiveArea when NoPspEmuDrm is available.
  • Moved the PSP ISO/PBP choice out of config.txt and into the PSP game view.
  • Unified cover loading around ImageFetcher and removed the separate thumbnail fetcher path.
  • Improved cover presentation with larger portrait-oriented panels and PSP game view support.
  • Added clearer cover loading states: download in progress and final download error.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed rapid game view open/close crashes caused by unsafe cover texture lifetime handling.
  • Fixed stale square cover cache reuse when switching to the newer default cover path.
  • Fixed decimal size formatting to use consistent base-10 units across the UI.
  • Fixed PSP game view to avoid Vita-only patch checks and compatibility pack logic.
