Gentleman v1.3.0

EmuCR: Snes9xGentleman v1.3.0 is released. Gentleman is a MiSTer-inspired emulator frontend for PC. The goal is to bring the simple, fast, menu-driven feel of the MiSTer interface to a PC-based emulator setup. Instead of using a database-heavy frontend, Gentleman builds its menu from a normal menu/ folder. Folders become menu categories, and JSON files become launcher entries.

Gentleman Changelog:
PC Game Launcher Type
Added a new PC Game launcher type.
This works like the existing Application launcher, but uses PC as the system instead of Application.
This makes PC games show up correctly in system-based views while keeping the same simple .exe launch behavior.
Systems Menu
Added a new optional Systems menu.
The Systems menu only shows systems currently used by existing launcher files.
When opening a system, Gentleman now shows one flat alphabetical game list for that system instead of repeating the launcher/folder structure.
Example:
Systems → PlayStation 2 → all PlayStation 2 games
The Systems menu is disabled by default for new users and can be enabled from Settings.
Improved API Structure
The API now has a clearer split between system-based browsing and launcher-based browsing.
Systems API = flat library view
Launchers API = launcher/folder structure view
Changes include:
GET /api/systems now returns systems currently in use
GET /api/games-by-system now returns a flat alphabetical game list for the selected system
Game entries include their source launcher for reliable launching
Added GET /api/launchers
Existing launcher/folder browsing remains available through /api/menu, /api/launchers, and /api/games
The API documentation has also been updated.
Update Popup Improvements
Improved the update message window:
Renamed Changelog to Release Notes
Release Notes button now has better spacing
Release notes are now scrollable when the text is too large
Pressing Back from Release Notes now returns to the update message instead of closing it immediately
Updater Note
The Gentleman Updater was improved in the previous release. If you have not updated the updater yet, it is recommended to download the latest updater as well.
Summary
This release makes the Systems menu and API more useful by treating systems as a flat game library, while keeping the original launcher/folder structure available for users and apps that need it.
