Simple Launcher v5.0.0 is released. Simple Launcher is an emulator frontend that makes playing retro games a breeze.

Simple Launcher Changelog:
Refactored GameLauncher Architecture
Replaced the monolithic conditional structure with a flexible, strategy-based pattern that dramatically improves extensibility for new emulators and platforms.
Created emulator-specific configuration handlers (e.g., AresConfigHandler, XeniaConfigHandler, RaineConfigHandler) that manage pre-launch configuration dialogs and dynamically modify emulator settings files.
Implemented launch strategy pattern (e.g., ChdToCueStrategy, XisoMountStrategy, ZipMountStrategy, DefaultLaunchStrategy) to handle diverse launch scenarios—including ISO mounting, archive extraction, format conversion, and direct execution—with clean, maintainable code.
Integrated format conversion services for CHD-to-CUE/BIN, CHD-to-ISO, and RVZ-to-ISO transformations, expanding compatibility across emulators. For example, it can convert a CHD file to CUE/BIN on the fly if the emulator does not support CHD.
Configuration Injection Service
Built a centralized service that programmatically injects settings into emulator configuration files.
Supports 20+ emulators: Ares, Azahar, Blastem, Cemu, Daphne, Dolphin, DuckStation, Flycast, MAME, Mednafen, Mesen, PCSX2, Raine, Redream, RetroArch, RPCS3, Sega Model 2, Stella, Supermodel, Xenia, and Yumir.
Xenia integration mirrors Xenia Manager's internal configuration injection functionality.
Enhanced RetroAchievements Integration
Automatically injects RetroAchievements credentials into PCSX2, DuckStation, PPSSPP, Dolphin, Flycast, BizHawk, and RetroArch.
Added RetroAchievements filter in MainWindow to quickly identify and display probable supported titles.
Refined game hashing algorithms across multiple systems for accurate achievement tracking.
UI Enhancements
Unified UI busy-state handling throughout the application to provide consistent blocking behavior and progress feedback across all major windows (MainWindow, Favorites, Search, etc.).
Code Quality Improvements
Enhanced error handling for XML corruption.
Fixed potential deadlocks in play history updates.
Centralized system.xml load, edit, and delete operations into the SystemManager class.
