Playtrove 0.6.0

Download

Playtrove-Setup-0.6.0.exe: the installer. If you already have Playtrove installed, it updates itself: just click Update on the notice.
Playtrove-0.6.0-portable.zip: the portable version. Unzip it anywhere and open Playtrove.exe; your library stays in the data folder next to it.

Playtrove isn't digitally signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" the first time: click More info and then Run anyway.

Three new emulators: PPSSPP (PSP), Dolphin (GameCube and Wii) and Azahar (3DS). Playtrove finds them on its own, suggests them for folders named "PSP", "GameCube", "Wii" or "3DS", and adds their games with covers, details and achievements (RetroAchievements has PSP, GameCube and Wii). The playtime each emulator records counts too.
PS3 trophies before the first run: RPCS3 only installs a game's trophies the first time the game starts. Until then, the Trophies card says when they'll show up instead of staying hidden.

Grid: the status strip now sits right below the cover, so no part of the cover is hidden anymore.
Game details: when a ROM hack on IGDB has the same name as the original game (like "Chrono Trigger+"), Playtrove now picks the original. To fix a game that already got the wrong details, use More → Download metadata on it.

PPSSPP closes along with the game when you choose Exit in its pause menu, and Dolphin closes when the game stops. Azahar has no option for that, so its playtime keeps counting until you close Azahar.
