Goliath v0.40.0 Preview is released. Goliath is a C++20 and Qt 6 desktop frontend for Neo Geo MVS/AES and Neo Geo CD. It organizes the game library and launches media through the Jolly Good Reference Frontend (JGRF) and the Geolith core. Goliath is only a frontend. Emulation is provided by JGRF, JG, and Geolith.

Main features:
One library for Neo Geo MVS/AES .neo files and Neo Geo CD .cue/.chd images.
Parent and variant grouping for cartridge games.
Recursive Neo Geo CD discovery.
Optional local verification against MAME and Redump metadata.
Optional command.dat companion window for matching MAME game IDs. It is tied to the launched JGRF session and requires no JGRF modification.
Search, persistent exact-media Favorites and 1–5-star ratings, name/year/ rating/playtime sorting, compact personal filters, visible-only Random, snapshots, and history.
Per-game BIOS, video, input, and core settings without changing global configuration.
BIOS verification and safe JGRF BIOS preparation.
Save-data backup, validation, restore, deletion, and folder access.
Exact-media playtime, session count, and last-played tracking, including background observation after the main window is closed.
Selected-game performance benchmark and one-shot WAV export.
Frontend and JGRF diagnostics with guarded log controls.
SDL3 controller mapping and asynchronous audio-device discovery.
Twelve contrast-checked light and dark themes.
