Message: [QUOTE="Felipe, post: 26335, member: 41"] [URL='https://github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS/releases/tag/v0.9']Panda3DS Christmas 2024 edition[/URL] [URL='https://github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS/releases/latest']Latest[/URL] After a long while, it's time for a new release. The changelog is enormous so I'll focus on the more important stuff (new UI, audio support, better Android performance, libretro core, ...)? I also promise the next release won't take as long to come out (oops). Make sure to get the Qt builds if you want to try out the new desktop UI!

[*]Fixed resizing the window on both SDL and Qt, added support for optionally remembering window size & position [*]Qt frontend now supports controllers (SDL already did) [*]New Qt UI themes (Cream, Greetings Cat) [/LIST] [*]Official Libretro core [LIST] [*]You can download it in the Retroarch UI after enabling support for "Experimental Cores" [/LIST] [*]Lots of GPU emulation work and fixes [LIST] [*]New fragment shader generation backend heavily reduces GPU usage [*]New shader decompiler heavily reduces both CPU & GPU usage, making the emulator orders of magnitude faster on phones and lower end laptops/PCs. [*]Metal API GPU backend for Apple devices (Currently only supported on the SDL build of the emulator) [*]Fog emulation [*]Proper lighting emulation [*]x64 and arm64 shader JIT improvements [*]Fixed various rendering errors & crashes (Try toggling the "Accelerate shaders" option in case a game doesn't work) [*]Implemented missing GPU registers (Eg VSH_OUTMAP_MASK) [*]... [/LIST] [*]Added support for gyroscope and accelerometer ("motion controls") [LIST] [*]Supported on desktop when the user has a compatible controller [*]Supported on Android by moving your phone [/LIST] [*]Android [LIST] [*]Much improved performance, the emulator is now properly usable on many phones. [*]Audio support, motion support, encrypted games support... [*]Support for configuring 3DS screen layout [*]More emulator settings exposed via the UI [*]Store Access Framework (SAF) support [*]Use Material for parts of the UI [/LIST] [*]MacOS builds are now universal (ie include both an arm64 and x64 binary) [LIST] [*]Improves performance on arm64 Macs, ie "Apple Silicon", as the emulator no longer runs under Rosetta. [/LIST] [*]Fixed various bugs and crashes that would occur when loading encrypted games. [LIST] [*]Also added support for decrypting games that require seeddb.bin, provided the user has seeddb.bin in the correct path. [*]Added support for decrypting games in the Android backend. User can provide aes_keys.txt and seeddb.bin via the settings UI. [/LIST] [*]Lots of emulation fixes [LIST] [*]Improved audio emulation, games have audio and will no longer hang due to needing more of the audio DSP implemented (For example in Pokemon X/Y, Pokemon ORAS, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates To Infinity, TLoZ: A Link Between Worlds, Professor Layton, ...). [*]Improved filesystem emulation, fixes a lot of OS apps (3DS Sound, Face Raiders, AR cards, ...), homebrew (Anemone3DS) and retail games (Luigi's Mansion) [*]Improved camera emulation (but still not supporting proper camera captures): Games will no longer hang due to camera not being implemented [*]Added support for the Software Keyboard & Mii Selector applets, games will no longer hang when they ask the user to select a mii or enter their name. [*]CRO fixes (Pokemon games no longer randomly crash, other than Sun/Moon and US/UM which need one last thing implemented) [*]Kernel fixes [*]Y2R fixes [*]Home Menu related fixes for the future [/LIST] [*]Various optimizations: [LIST] [*]Added scheduler for scheduling emulator events [*]Handwritten SSE/NEON code for faster GPU & DSP emulation [*]Added idle skipping [*]... [/LIST] [*]Lua: [LIST] [*]Expose more emulator functions to the scripting API [*]Expose libuv [/LIST] [*]Miscellaneous fixes [LIST] [*]Fixed system volume slider not working on Android. [*]Fix touchscreen emulation not working on Qt. [*]Fix Android APKs being huge due to not being properly stripped [*]Fix emulator hanging on devices where audio couldn't be initialized [/LIST] [/LIST] [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/wheremyfoodat/Panda3DS[/URL] [/QUOTE]
