This minor release focuses on addressing the ROM load problem multiple users have been reported and does not contain significant changes.

BEFORE YOU UPDATE: To ensure the problem is fixed, all current ROM configurations will be discarded and your ROMs will be re-scanned. If you are going to update, keep this in mind and take note of any individual ROM configuration you may have so that you don't lose them.

Changelog:

  • (Hopefully) Fix ROM loading error on some devices
  • Increase button intersection area of the DPAD and ABXY buttons
  • Other minor improvements

Beta 1.5.0

The major feature of this release is the support for customizable backgrounds. With this, you can define backgrounds images that will display under the screens and controls. Backgrounds can be configured individually per layout. There are no built-in backgrounds since adding a single one would require multiple large images to be included in the build to support the different aspect ratios. However, you can use layouts from other emulators, such as Drastic. For now, backgrounds are supported but support for custom button skins is planned. Below is an example of a custom layout with a background running Pocket Physics. Credits to go to Reddit user LinkedDesigns. You can find this background and many more in this Reddit post.

Changelog:

  • Support for custom backgrounds
  • Allow FPS counter to be repositioned or hidden
  • Display component size when resizing them in the layout editor
  • Fix corrupt icons from zipped ROMs
  • Only display cheats from the current ROM instead of cheats from all related ROMs (you must re-import your cheat database to see this effect)
  • Allow layouts to be renamed and deleted
  • Minor fixes and improvements

This release focuses on fixing the storage problems multiple users have been reporting. This was accomplished by finalising the migration to Android's new Storage Access Framework. As such, no major new features are present but there are still some minor improvements inside.

Changelog:

  • Load all files using the Storage Access Framework (should fix all problems when loading ROMs, BIOS, etc.)
  • Merge latest melonDS changes (mostly for the support for asynchronous game saving feature)
  • Allow firmware MAC address to be static (should fix #176)
  • Support for Sustained Performance Mode (if your device supports it)
  • Other minor fixes and improvements
