Jewel Case

Jewel Case 1.1

A big update to the look and feel, with real disc and box art, game info, Switch updates and DLC that just work with ProsperoEden, and a smoother app throughout.

What's new

Cartridges and discs that look like the real thing

• Cartridges, cards and discs are rendered from 3D models (credited in Settings > Credits). The SNES cartridge has the lavender-grey shell and black label of the real ones, and N64 cartridges get more room in the carousel.
• Cartridge labels show the box art without the box's system banner and ratings.
• Discs are printed edge to edge, with the game's title logo, a thin silver rim and a clear hub. PS1, PS2 and GameCube discs have their system's band, and GameCube discs are the smaller 8 cm size.
• A scan of the real disc is used when there is one: from the LaunchBox Games Database, and from GameTDB for GameCube and Wii (found by the game ID in the disc image). Your own disc image works too.

Game info and more art

• The details screen shows each game's year, genre, developer, publisher, players and description from the LaunchBox Games Database, with an in-game screenshot behind it.
• Box art from LaunchBox for systems the libretro collection doesn't cover, such as Switch.
• The LaunchBox game list comes with the app (only the systems Jewel Case supports, about 17 MB), so the console never downloads the whole database: only the pictures for your games.
• Covers now download over HTTPS reliably. The cover helper does its own encryption (curl and OpenSSL, with Mozilla's root certificates), because the console's own SSL refuses payloads. This also fixes libretro covers for oddly named files.

Updates and DLC

• Update and DLC files sit with their game instead of showing up as extra games.
