More Manuals!

Back in the day, before extensive in-game tutorials and cutscenes, manuals were essential to understanding a game’s controls and lore. Often they contained maps and beautiful artwork that you couldn’t find anywhere else.

In the previous update, I finally added a manual viewer to Nostlan, which supports PDF and CBZ files.

Nostlan will now automatically download covers, disc/cartridge art, and manuals for many of your PS1, PS2, N64, and SNES games. This took months of work, but the result is an incredible open box experience that no other game launcher/frontend can offer.

Nostlan can now serve as a digital archive of your physical game collection!

How Does It Work?

Select a game from your game library to enter the open box view.

Then select the manual to open it in Nostlan’s manual viewer.

Click the mouse, use the arrow keys, or move the left stick on a game controller to flip through pages. Easy!

PS1 Upgrades

Fixed an issue that prevented Nostlan from launching games with DuckStation on Windows.

Added memory card and save state syncing. Pick up where you left off on any device!

N64 Upgrades

I mainly envisioned the open box mode for games with DVD style cases, so the open box concept doesn’t translate so well to N64. Instead of staring into the black hole of an N64 box, I just have a piece of cardboard in the background haha.

The new cartridge scans by ABeezy are ultra high quality!

I created a new 4K template box image too.

Updated N64, SNES, and NES Game IDs

Nostlan will automatically migrate your existing N64, SNES, and NES image folders to use new Game IDs, which are now just the publishing serial number without region or revision suffixes.

Liquid Glass App Icon

“Liquid glass? More like liquid ass!”

Nah… I actually like the mix of Frutiger Aero aesthetics from the 2000s with flat minimalism and glass depth effects!

Though admittedly, at the size app icons are typically displayed, these effects are basically illegible lol. Hence I thought I’d share the high-res renders so you can imagine this level of detail at normal viewing distances.

Mainly I’m just happy to be getting dark mode app icons on macOS.

Hopefully the 2% of gamers that use macOS will appreciate this. 😅
