- designed for UHD displays and projectors
- checks multiple database sites for the highest quality box art
- nostalgic UI themes for each supported console

Emulators
NES game library and Mesen emulator support! I consider Mesen to be the best nes emulator but it's not available on macOS and can't be run with wine. em-fceux, a NES emulator ported to javascript will be bundled built-in with Nostlan in the future.
Ryujinx support (alternate Switch emulator that can run 32bit games, unlike Yuzu)
App UI
shows emulator wiki pages for games in the
manualssection of the open box menus (only works for wii and switch right now)
User Experience
search for games on the game library view just by typing (no search bar), just like with Windows File Explorer
increased performance in the game library view due to the use of thumbnail images. Nostlan automatically switches to using the full res game art when you select a game. Scrolling and animations are now smooth even for really large libraries!
In your preferences you can now edit or delete the key command Nostlan uses after launching some emulators, such as Yuzu, to put them in fullscreen mode.
