Zaparoo Frontend v1.2.0 and Zaparoo Core v2.15.0 are the next paired Zaparoo releases.

This update focuses on Frontend's new built-in MiSTer updater, a smoother CRT and browsing experience, more ways to customize your library, launchable ROM-less MiSTer cores, and local artwork scraping.

Thank you to Andrea Bogazzi for the Frontend startup and media loading performance work, and to theypsilon for developing and contributing the new built-in updater.
