    Isfshax Installer – v3.1

    Isfshax Installer – v3.1

    A low‑level utility that lets you install or strip the isfshax superblock on Switch consoles using SLC memory.

    Update All MiSTer – UpdateAll 2026‑02‑07 19:51 🎮

    What it does: One‑click script that pulls the newest MiSTer cores, overlays, firmware and tools, so your FPGA retro rig stays fresh without juggling dozens of downloads.

    What’s new in this build:

    • `dont_download2.sh` helper – stops re‑downloading files you already have cached.
    • Core list refreshed – now includes the latest Arcade, Console and Computer cores, adding support for TurboGrafx‑16 II and Atari 2600 Rev B.
    • Overlay fix – race condition resolved, preventing corruption on slower SD cards.

    Quick‑run tip: `bash UpdateAll.sh –no-download` now respects the new helper script, saving bandwidth on repeat runs.

    Grab the update and let the auto‑updater do the heavy lifting! ✨

  • Handheld Daemon – v4.1.8: Fix broken PPD emulation on Arch

    Handheld Daemon – v4.1.8: Fix broken PPD emulation on Arch

    Handheld Daemon v4.1.8 – Retro‑PPD fix landed! 🎉

    What it does:

    A lightweight daemon that swaps out vendor‑only tools (Armoury Crate, etc.) on Windows handhelds so they run smoothly under Linux. It handles fan curves, TDP tweaks, controller mapping (gyro & back buttons), RGB remap, and even a gamescope overlay—perfect for turning your Legion, GPD Win, OneXPlayer, Ayaneo, Anbernic… into a true Linux gaming machine.

    What’s new in v4.1.8:

    • Arch Linux fix: The missing `python-dbus` dependency is now declared, restoring Retro‑PPD emulation on Arch‑based systems. No more broken PPD!
    • Version bump from v4.1.7 → v4.1.8 (the dependency tweak is the sole change).

    Quick note for Arch users:

    Run `sudo pacman -Syu` or reinstall Handheld Daemon so the new `python-dbus` package gets pulled in automatically.

    All other platforms (Fedora, Bazzite, etc.) stay untouched and continue working as before. Happy hacking! 🚀

    Handheld Daemon – v4.1.7: Fix newer gamescope black screen

    Handheld Daemon v4.1.7 – Gamescope Black‑Screen Fix 🎮

    What it does:

    A lightweight daemon that lets your Windows handhelds run smoothly on Linux—fan control, TDP tweaks, controller emulation (gyro & back buttons), RGB remapping, and a handy gamescope overlay for perfect scaling.

    What’s new in v4.1.7:

    • Black‑screen bug squashed – The dreaded blackout that only appeared when `STEAM_BIGPICTURE=1` is gone. Gamescope now checks for Steam first, so non‑Steam setups stay untouched.
    • Safety sanity check – Added a quick verification step to make sure the fix doesn’t break anything else (still under watch).

    Quick notes:

    • No new dependencies; just works on any distro already running Gamescope.
    • Fully compatible with AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel GPUs.
    • Still installable via Arch, Fedora, Bazzite, etc., and welcomes localization contributions.

    Enjoy border‑less, perfectly scaled gaming without surprise blackouts! 🚀

  • PS4CheaterNeo – Fix ArgumentException in Query window when searching short Hex values

    PS4CheaterNeo – Fix ArgumentException in Query window when searching short Hex values

    PS4CheaterNeo v1.0.6 – Fix for short‑hex queries in the Query window

    A quick memory scanner for classic games just got sturdier. The tool now handles those “short” hex strings you love to throw at retro titles without blowing up.

    What’s new

    • 🛠️ Crash‑fix: The Query window no longer crashes when “Hex” is enabled and the entered string is shorter than the scan size (e.g., an 8‑byte scan with a 4‑digit hex).
    • ⚙️ Smart padding: Added logic in `ScanTool.cs` that auto‑resizes and zero‑pads the input byte array before calling `BitConverter`, eliminating the Destination array is not long enough exception.

    Quick notes

    • Works on all platforms supported by previous releases (Windows 10+, .NET 6).
    • No UI changes – just a smoother, more reliable scanning experience.

    Happy hunting! 🎮✨
