WHAT'S NEW IN v0.3.0

  • Google Drive Cloud Save — Settings → Cloud Save: link account, Backup Saves to Cloud, optional Auto Cloud Save when you return from a game (ZIP of RetroArch saves + save states)
  • Cloud Restore — pick a Drive backup, merge into current RetroArch paths; local pre-restore ZIP on SD; progress log; hold B 3 seconds to abort
  • Settings hub — six section screens (App & Launcher, Emulator and Systems, Appearance and Control, Cloud Save, Scraper, Help and About) instead of one long scrolling list
  • Playtime rankings — Y menu → Playtime Analytics: top games/systems by playtime and by launch count
  • Launch tracking — NXStation records library opens and playtime even when RetroArch runtime logs are off
  • cloud.log — backup/restore log at sdmc:/switch/NXStation/log/cloud.log
  • Settings nav fix — D-pad works immediately when opening Settings
  • Auto backup polish — skips when offline, no save files, or a backup is already running (no spam toasts)
  • Also includes everything from v0.2.3: carousel transitions, right-stick description scroll, accelerated list nav, manual layout memory, video preview crash fix, launch zoom aspect fix — and all prior releases (manuals, analytics, updater, etc.)

Hi, that was fast!
I double checked and now when I quit a game it returns to NXStation intead of HBMenu... maybe it wasn't working because I was launching it from HBMenu instead of the forwarder

I have also re-enabled the screensaver, it is actually a nice feature, to just sit down and enjoy random videos of my collection :)

The right stick to scroll the game description is definitelly a great feature, I can finally read it! There is a small issue though, it still auto scrolls by default, I think the auto scroll should be disabled when this option is enabled to avoid conflicts between them. I am also missing a visual scroll bar (there is one in the metadata window)

The scroll speed is also a nice feature, could it go even faster? PFbneo it's faster, I am probably used to that

I was thinking on a few more small features if you have time :)
- A small scroll bar on the rom list to give you an idea of how long it is (or maybe just a label with the current index similar to how retroarch does it 22/336 )
- The video plays very fast, could you add a video delay option? or being able to move between video, box art and thumbnail with left/right using the right stick (like in retroarch)
- The carrousel is nice, but having the option to select the current system using the same menu for the rom list could be a good adition. Instead of the rom list you'll have the systems list, with a thumbnail of any of them and a small description
- How do you create images for the carrousel? I have added zxspectrum but it is using the placeholder


I am really enjoying NXStation, thanks a lot for all the updates!!

Except the system in list form, yours wishlist already made into the latest release v.0.3.0. try updating it from the in-app updater :)
