emuze ist ein Frontend für verschiedene Emulatoren (für Windows, Linux und Steam Deck).

As long as I have been working on emuze, there was one topic that I was never really satisfied with: The first import when setting up emuze took far too long. The reason is quite simple: To retrieve meta data a request has to be sent to the igdb api. Like every service, igdb has a rate limit and authentication that I have to comply with. In order to take care of this and not get into financial trouble, a serverless server has been my solution for fetching meta data to this day. However, this led to the fact that the first import at cold start of the server could take a good 40 seconds for a large game collection.

To tackle the problem, I now bundle the meta data from igdb with emuze. This allows me to optimize the meta data for fast and efficient access. The first import on my Steam Deck with a game collection of over 800 games now takes less than 2 seconds instead of the previous 40 seconds 

Because of the bundling i was finally able to loosen the import, so that roman numerals and numbers are interchangeable. Therefore it does not matter anymore if you name your rom Final Fantasy V or Final Fantasy 5, emuze will find meta data regardless.

Besides import optimization i decided to use ares as the default emulator for the 3 Game Boy Systems. This results in a more accurate emulation and pre configuring of these systems. With this 23 of the 33 supported systems are pre configured and 18 of them are bundled now
