Update Summary for v1.15.x

  • new automated installer feature is able to install emulator apps within Nostlan. It can handle several types of official build packages: stand alone, portable, installer executables, and dmgs! Just press install and Nostlan will handle downloading, extracting, and moving the emulator app into its default location. On Linux, Nostlan can do package manager cli installs too.
  • the new Emulator App Menu appears when you try to play a game with or configure an emulator you don't have or that Nostlan could not find

  • new language menu to select UI translations, go to Main Menu -> Settings Menu -> Language Menu to change the UI language setting

  • improved game library editing options. "add new games" will just look for new games to identify in your game library. "rescan all games" will rescan all game files!

  • user preference for launching Nostlan fullscreen or not works now

  • on Windows I fixed a bug that could cause games files to be scanned from the same folder twice when doing a game library scan for the first time or full rescan for games

Coming Soon

  • proper UI translations for Russian, Spanish, and Japanese
  • easier way to manually identify games within the app
  • easier way to manually download images of game art within the app for games that Nostlan couldn't automatically find art for. This feature would enable users to search for images and add them without even to use their web browser, download them, rename them, and move them to the game's imgdir.
  • create an extension protocol that will let users add support for other system's game libraries and emulators

Even though I decided to make this project open source and free to use, it still took a lot of work and a long time to develop. If you appreciate my work so far and will continue to use the app please support its development. Thank you!

Features that might be offered in the future:

  • support for your PC game libraries! (Origin, Steam, Epic Games, etc.)

For the past two years I've spent way too much time developing Nostlan. I'm really happy with the progress I've made but I'd be able to work on it a lot more if I felt like the community was interested in it. Even 50 supporters would be huge for me! After I get to a point where I feel like I can do a big v2.0 release, I'm going to make a lot of video tutorials that walk people through the setup process. My goal is to have 200 Patreon supporters!
