Release notes for system firmware, beta access, and platform-level device features.
2026-08-01
Firmware availability
| Device family | Firmware version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Legends 4KP | 6.1.30, 6.0.34B, 6.1.30D | Available |
| HDP | 1.0.30 | Available |
External Applications
New: Backglass leaderboards
External applications can now display a leaderboard on the backglass. The leaderboard data is read from a JSON file stored on the local USB drive and is managed entirely by the application itself.
New: Developer-controlled game logs
Developers can now enable or disable logging for their games. When enabled, the logs are written to the local USB drive, making it easier to diagnose and debug application issues.
Fixed: HTTPS certificate permissions
Corrected the CA certificate permissions used by external applications. Apps can now access the certificates reliably when making secure HTTPS requests.
Fixed: Menu refresh and selection
The External Applications menu now refreshes while preserving the current selection. Returning to the menu no longer moves the selection back to the first game in the list.

External Applications
External Applications menu refresh
The External Applications menu now refreshes automatically when returning to it. Previously, the menu only updated when a USB device was mounted. Newly added VPX tables and external applications are now available right away, without requiring a USB remount.
Environment variables available to external applications
External applications can now read key system environment variables from the device firmware. The following information is available:
- Legends ID username when the user is authenticated
- Unique device ID
- Device type ID
- Device name
- Firmware version
USB write access for external applications
External applications can now write data to the USB storage device. This allows apps and games to persist local data such as scores, save files, configuration files, and other content across sessions.
Expanded XML metadata support
Additional XML metadata fields are now supported. This metadata is displayed in the External Applications menu's About section before launching a game or application.
CA certificate read access
External applications now have read access to CA certificates, making it easier to perform HTTPS requests securely.
GPU acceleration support
Permissions have been added to allow external applications to use the required drivers for GPU acceleration.
