* Fixed left/top edge artifacts with accelerated video enabled.

Hello, All!

Just released iNES-Android 3.9.5, an update to my NES and Famicom emulator:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.ines

This update adds compatibility with Kitkat external SD card restrictions and introduces dedicated buttons for VS System and DiskSystem games. When you run a VS System game, touch the COIN button to add coins. If you are running a Famicom DiskSystem program, touching the DISK button will flip disk sides.

When you play iNES in the portrait mode, it will now show a nicer screen background that looks like the classic NES gamepad. It was difficult to make a background that works well with the existing (adjustable) controls,but I think I have got this right. Let me know if not :) See below for the complete list of changes.

ALL CHANGES:
* Added decorative background in portrait mode.
* Added COIN button to insert "coins" into VS System.
* Added DISK button to flip Famicom DiskSystem disks.
* Now resetting FDS to side A on startup.
* Fixed scanline effects in Debugger, etc.
* Made a work-around for external SD card use on Kitkat!
* If can't write to external SD card, saving states to /storage/sdcard0/iNES.
* If iNES folder doesn't exist, saving states to /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/com.fms.ines/files.
* Removed the MENU button from the screen (use "Advanced | Settings" instead).
* Fixed sections navigation in the File Selector.

Enjoy!

Hello, All!

I have just released iNES-Android 3.9.9, a new version of my Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Famicom emulator, with a better palette editor, customizable backdrop images, and the ability to download game box artwork:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.ines

This is mainly a bugfix release. Once again, I have made iNES enable automatic frame skip, video and audio acceleration when you install it for the first time. These settings were off by default since September, due to a software bug. The search option in the File Selector now properly finds removable storage.

ALL CHANGES:
* Fixed automatic frame skip with OpenGLES enabled.
* Fixed the File Selector Search to properly find storage.
* Reenabled automatic frame skip by default.
* Reenabled OpenGLES video by default.
* Reenabled OpenSLES audio by default.
* Made system UI translucent when immersive mode is on.

* When enabled, RECORD saves, PLAY restores gameplay.
* Added "Use FFWD/REWIND Media Keys" option.
* When enabled, FFWD fast-forwards, REWIND replays.
* Built package with the latest Android SDK.
* Removed deprecated code, settings, and resources.

Enjoy!
