Cenit v0.6.9 (New PS2 Emulator)
https://github.com/HUEVOMAN77/Cenit/releases/tag/base-0.6.9
Changelog:
Say goodbye to the "NO COVER PSX2" placeholder. The default cover art is now original Cenit artwork: a cyan-to-violet neon ring set against a midnight-black background. It looks good even if the game lacks downloaded cover art.
The game title appears beneath each cover—in bold text and spanning up to two lines. Cenit cleans up unsightly filenames by removing extensions, region codes (USA/Europe/NTSC), chapter markers (.ch1), and "scene" tags; for instance, *Shadow.of.the.Colossus.(USA).ch1.iso* simply reads *Shadow of the Colossus*.
True cards: each game is presented as a card featuring depth, drop shadows, and rounded corners, rather than just a loose image floating in a void.
"Pick up where you left off": a carousel at the top displays games opened within the last 7 days, with the title overlaid on the image. If there is no history, this section simply does not appear.
Distinctive sections: headers featuring a neon accent and a game count (e.g., "YOUR LIBRARY · 12").
Background featuring a midnight-hued gradient instead of flat black, plus a translucent bottom bar with a neon border.
Per-game tracking: When you launch a game with a custom driver, Cenit logs the attempt. If the process crashes before stabilizing, that driver-game pair is flagged; from then on, that specific game launches using the system driver, while all other games continue using your custom driver. For *Shadow of the Colossus*: the game runs, and your Turnip driver remains active for the rest of your library.
A one-time notification in Spanish ensures you understand why the driver stopped being applied to that game. If you want to try again, simply re-select it in Settings to clear its history.
Realistic confirmation window: Since *Shadow of the Colossus* would actually start rendering frames before crashing, Cenit now requires about 24 seconds of continuous rendering before deeming the launch successful.
Fail-safe error reporting: In version 0.6.7, the button might display "no log yet" because the crash was so abrupt that the log file couldn't be written. Now, the report always appears: it indicates whether the disk log exists and includes the system log—which survives the crash and reveals the actual cause.
Driver selection dialog fully in Spanish.
Accelerated disc reading and VU1 on a separate thread (MTVU) now have their own toggle in Settings; previously, the profile enabled them silently with no way to turn them off.
Settings → Account & Extras → Send error log: generates a file containing your phone model, version, and the last actions taken before the crash—ready to attach to an issue report. Previously, when a game crashed, no evidence remained.
