One more tiny patch of fixes.

RetroDECK Framework

Fixed:

The Giga CHD of a MAN vanished from the project, only to reappear later at his house on MAME Street. During his spiritual quest inside the project, he stumbled upon the lost Pico-8 wandering in the library woods and gently guided it back to the tiny hut where it lives alongside the other Pico numbers. Now, finally home and armed with fresh insights into deeper compression tricks, he's ready once again to serve the community, as the CHD he truly is.

  • COMPRESSION: CHDMAN (.chd compression) is looking at the right paths and is now working again. 🏠

Added:

  • BACKUP: Simplified the backup prompt and choices.
  • COMPRESSION: CHDMAN now also checks: arcade, atomiswave, cdimono1, cdtv, fmtowns, megacdjp, mess, naomi, neogeocdjp as valid compression targets.
  • FRAMEWORK: Updated the handling of MelonDS new config format.
  • FRAMEWORK: Added a verification step to ensure Steam Input controller layout files are always injected during post-update.
  • FOLDER ICONS: Added a folder icon for PrimeHack.
  • PRIMEHACK: Separated the PrimeHack component and added its own folder in roms/primehack based on user feedback.

Changed:

  • CONFIGURATOR: Temporarily disabled the Update Notification tool because it got too excited for new updates and was prematurely announcing updates that had not yet been released. The tool has been placed under special review for premature notification syndrome and will be back fully recovered at a later date.
  • FRAMEWORK: Updated the backup process to exclude log files, reducing the risk of corruption during writes.
  • FRAMEWORK: Migrated PortMaster and SRM data into their dedicated component files.

Components

Fixed:

  • AZAHAR: Azahar's configuration files contained several errors in hot-key mappings and other settings, warranting a configuration reset.
  • AZAHAR: Fixed swap A/B X/Y statement error.
  • GENERAL: Fixed spelling errors across several component-ingredient files.
  • PCSX2: Corrected a retrodeck/mods/pcsx2 folder-path issue in the backup function.
  • PICO-8: PICO-8 is now looking in the correct path and is working again. Pico 8 Logo Alt logo 🛖
  • PORTMASTER: RetroDECK now sources the latest fix from the PortMaster Team, which should resolve the current issues.
  • RETROARCH: Corrected a retrodeck/bios/mame2003-plus folder-path issue in the backup function.
  • SRM: Fixed an issue where RetroDECK controller layouts were not applied under certain conditions due to versioning errors.

Changed:

  • ES-DE: PrimeHack has been removed as an alternative emulator for GameCube and Wii, and now has its own PrimeHack system, linked to the roms/primehack folder.
  • PRIMEHACK: Switched its input profiles from SDL to evdev after community testing revealed several input errors, warranting a configuration reset.
