Eggy ROM Console 1.0.4b

ROM Console 1.0.4b improves controller handling and compatibility across all included base emulator cores: FCEUmm for NES, Snes9x for SNES, ParaLLEl N64 for Nintendo 64, Gambatte for Game Boy and Game Boy Color, mGBA for Game Boy Advance, and Genesis Plus GX for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

Windows controller input tracking has been improved, including more reliable controller activity detection for leaderboard tracking. Controller handling has also been improved across the base cores for more consistent Windows controller support, while maintaining left analogue stick compatibility throughout the supported systems.

NES audio handling has also been corrected so .nes games can properly produce game audio again.

This release brings the controller tracking, analogue input compatibility, base core compatibility and NES audio fixes together into ROM Console 1.0.4b.

ROM Console 1.0.4 introduces a complete new Challenges system.

Players can now take on Daily, Weekly, Repeatable and Permanent challenges, with live reset and cooldown timers and XP rewards that feed directly into the existing ROM Console progression and ranking system.

A new Challenge Leaderboard tracks challenge XP and completed challenges, while administrators can fully manage challenge objectives, targets, rewards, schedules, cooldowns and limits from the ROM Console section of the ACP.

Highlights

• New Challenges system
• Daily, Weekly, Repeatable and Permanent challenges
• Challenge XP and ranking integration
• Live countdowns and repeatable cooldowns
• Challenge leaderboard
• Full ACP challenge management

Version 1.0.4 is available now.

Eggy ROM Console 1.0.3 is now available following the release of XenForo 2.3.13.

This maintenance update refreshes the affected XenForo file health hash so the add-on continues to validate cleanly on the latest XenForo 2.3.x release.

No ROM Console features or functionality have been changed.

ROM Console 1.0.2 is now available.

This release focuses heavily on stability, runtime correctness, security and upgrade reliability following my full audit of the base add-on.

Key improvements include:

• Fixed ACP settings that were not being respected correctly at runtime
• Improved leaderboard scoring, filtering and anti-inflation protections
• Fixed guest access and global ROM Console enable/disable enforcement
• Improved Stripe and PayPal webhook handling
• Fixed reinstall and upgrade handling when existing ROM Console data is preserved
• Fixed cloud save autosave intervals so the configured ACP value is actually used
• Fixed the Recent Games limit setting
• Fixed reward sound and fallback settings in the dedicated player
• Added explicit ROM ownership/legal-rights confirmation before a new local ROM is added
• Improved currency handling for zero, two, three and four decimal currencies
• Improved XenForo file-health integrity and release packaging

Existing ROM Console data, saves, progression and settings are preserved when upgrading.

This is a recommended update for all ROM Console users.
