v7.1 · Dec 30, 2025

v7.0 · Dec 29, 2025

Main changes

Notes

  • windows, vita and ps4 platforms were not fully tested

Notes (pfbneo)

  • Since version 7.0, "gamelist.xml" files are not included anymore in the binaries. The "gamelist.xml" file provide information about each game (name, genre, release date, if the game is a clone, etc...). If you do not provide your own "gamelist.xml" in each pfbneo rom folder, you will miss some information. If you do not have them, they can be created with a tool like Skraper (or my own command line one sscrap). Else you can download them from the repository history and put them in the corresponding rom folder (and rename them to "gamelist.xml").

Know bugs

  • The roms are not correctly detected on first app launch, please launch the app a second time to see your roms...

Greetings

Thanks to @R-YaTian and @geonux for the contributions.

v6.1 · May 6, 2022

<ins>pEMU 6.1</ins>

<ins>Notes</ins>

  • report bugs here
  • if coming from a version less than 6.0, you will need to delete all the "gamelist" xml files from the emulators data folders (and delete the "skins" folder too). The "gamelist" xml files format changed from this version, and they are now embedded in the platforms "romfs" (vpk, pkg, nro..). If they are found in the data folder then they will override the ones in "romfs", which is not what we want.
