Notes

Notes (pfbneo)
- Since version 7.0, "gamelist.xml" files are not included anymore in the binaries. The "gamelist.xml" file provide information about each game (name, genre, release date, if the game is a clone, etc...). If you do not provide your own "gamelist.xml" in each pfbneo rom folder, you will miss some information. If you do not have them, they can be created with a tool like Skraper (or my own command line one sscrap). Else you can download them from the repository history and put them in the corresponding rom folder (and rename them to "gamelist.xml").
Know bugs
- The roms are not correctly detected on first app launch, please launch the app a second time to see your roms...
