iNES-Android 3.7.2 Published

[fms]

Hello, All!

The new iNES-Android 4.3.7 is now online:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.ines

This release has been tested and optimized for Nvidia Shield AndroidTV device. Pressing both thumbsticks at the same time should open the menu inside the emulator, even on AndroidTV. Furthermore, I reenabled action bar on devices with physical MENU buttons. Apparently, some Cyanogen builds falsely report the MENU button as "present", preventing the action bar from showing up.

ALL CHANGES:
* Tested and optimized for Nvidia Shield AndroidTV device.
* On AndroidTV, press both thumbsticks down to invoke the menu.
* Reenabled action bar on devices with physical MENU key.

Enjoy!

Hello, All!

I have updated my NES and Famicom emulator, iNES-Android, to version 4.3.8:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.ines

Starting with this version, iNES-Android supports custom virtual joystick skins. Simply place your skin image into /sdcard/iNES/Controls.png, then select the "Custom Skin" shape in the Layout Editor. You can find a sample skin image at

Download the Controls.png file from the above address and edit it any way you like. it I have also fixed a State Exchange crash and done a few other adjustments.

ALL CHANGES:
* Added joystick skins, place your own skin into /sdcard/iNES/Controls.png.
* Added "Custom Skin" shape option to the Joystick Layout Editor.
* Fixed a crash in the State Exchange browser.
* Added exception for LG Optimus Zone 2 (does not show submenus).

Hello, All!

Just made a minor update to iNES emulator on Android:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.ines

iNES-Android 4.3.9 once again disables action bar on devices with physical MENU buttons, as most users appear to prefer the plain menu. This time though, you can get the action bar back by checking the "General | Enable Action Bar" option.

ALL CHANGES:
* Made action bar optional on devices with MENU button (off by default).
* Added "General | Enable Action Bar" option for devices with MENU button.

Changes include the new backdrop image, as well as ability to make custom backdrops for each game. Also, on devices that prevent apps from writing to external SD card (Kitkat+), iNES will automatically create "iNES" folder on the internal storage and save your gameplay there.

ALL CHANGES:
* Added new, nicer backdrop image in portrait mode, with no gaps.
* You can have custom backdrop for Game.nes in Game.nes.back.png.
* Typical backdrop size is 640x800, bottom part may go off-screen.

Hello, All!

I have released iNES-Android 4.4, adding color raster effects and fixing several nasty instant replay bugs:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.ines

You can now select to simulate RGB or CMY TV raster, via "Video | Color Mask Effect" option. This effect can be combined with scanlines simulation ("Video | Simulate Scanlines") and the softening algorithm ("Video | Soften Display"). I have also fixed a memory corruption bug in the Instant Replay function, as well as several other bugs.

ALL CHANGES:
* Added "Video | Color Mask Effect" selector.
* Added "CMY pixels" and "RGB pixels" special effects.
* Merged "Scale Video" and "Stretch Video" into one selector.
* Fixed memory corruption bug in the instant replay recorder.
* Fixed instant replay not recording the initial state.
* Fixed instant replay not restoring successive states.

Have fun!

Hello, All!

The iNES-Android 4.5 is out on the Google Play today:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d=com.fms.ines

It adds support for four new cartridge types and fixes interrupt issues in three more. A few other things might have fixes themselves as well, since I made sure that mapper-specific I/O ports only return values when the corresponding mapper is selected. Expect Windows and Linux iNES 4.5 builds soon.

ALL CHANGES:
* Added mapper #90 (Aladdin, Final Fight, etc).
* Added mapper #118 (Alien Syndrome, etc).
* Added mapper #209 (Samurai Spirits 2, etc).
* Added mapper #211 (Donkey Kong Country 4, etc).
* Fixed interrupts in mappers #17, #18, #168.
* Fixed mapper-specific I/O port reads.
* Returned gradient to the action bar.

Enjoy!
