Zaparoo Frontend v1.1.1 and Zaparoo Core v2.14.1 are patch releases for the v1.1.0 / v2.14.0 cycle.

This update focuses on smoother browsing, fewer unnecessary cover requests, more reliable scraping, and safer media database indexing after unexpected shutdowns.

What changed​

Frontend fixes:

  • Browse titles now keep useful disc and file markers instead of collapsing everything to the same display name.
  • List/detail browsing has less loading flicker when moving between entries.
  • Collapsed disc folders now resolve launches to the correct child media path.
  • Language and resolution pickers in settings behave correctly.
  • Cover loading skips entries Core already knows have no artwork, reducing wasted image requests.

Core fixes:

  • Browsing large folders full of single-disc game directories is much faster.
  • Media indexing has been optimized and hardened against corrupt media databases after power loss.
  • Interrupted scrapes, including force re-scrapes, resume more reliably after an unexpected reboot.
  • Arcade scanning now includes .mgl files.
  • gamelist.xml scraping keeps system order stable.
  • Media set markers such as disc and file numbers are preserved in display names.
  • Database checkpointing avoids foreground stalls during media work.

As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome on our Discord, Frontend GitHub, or Core GitHub.
