Porpoise

Porpoise 2.7 is a big one:

• Home screen tiles: give any game its own tile on the PS5 home screen that opens straight into it (a game's settings → Home screen).
• Tile art editor: see the tile's icon and background as the home screen shows them. Use the cover, the back of the box, a screenshot, the title screen or your own picture; crop and zoom it, or set it whole over a blur, white, black or a Porpoise pattern.
• Settings wait for Apply (Square), ask before you leave with changes, and offer a restart for the few that need one, in the menus and in-game.
• Inverted sticks: the control stick and the C-stick, up-down, left-right or both, for each game.
• Scanlines, Shadow mask and LCD screen filters.
• First-start setup questions, and a Diagnostic test in Settings → About.
• Optimizations, stability improvements and fixes for reported bugs.

Also in 2.7

• Faster save states (about half a second to save), with pictures of the whole image at any resolution.
• Download covers again, for every game or just one, and the cover glides into the launch screen.
• Faster start: games are found in the background, and system folders are skipped.
• PAL games that switch to 60 Hz are followed.
• Stay in the sandbox (Settings → Games) for consoles where freeing Porpoise closes it, and Porpoise asks what to do if it closed last time.
• Revolution shows every game, GameCube and Wii.
• Other apps can start a game in Porpoise (--rom, thanks to MartinPham).

Catching up from an older version?

• 2.5: smoother sound and sound presets, an Audio tab in-game, the GameCube controller for Wii games, Dolphin's graphics mods, and controller extras (light bar colors, turbo, quick save buttons).
