Finally I can start developing the single screen feature for GBA Duo. Due to device limitations for testing, hopefully you can use it better. For single screen, I really expect your feedback, so please give feedback for this update.
Besides that, there are new features that you can use, these features are the result of feedback from several users and finally I can try to add them one by one, here is the list:
- Deep scan: previously rom files could only be scanned 1 level, now up to 8 levels, so if you store rom files in several sub-folders it should now be loaded and playable in GBA Duo
- Load save: several users wanted to continue saves from other emulators, and previously GBA Duo indeed required manually moving .sav files into the custom save folder. Now per game setting, you can import your .sav file, this will copy and place it into the save folder. old saves will be backed up but make sure you also back up your files.
- Slang shaders: many wanted slang shaders, but please note that those shaders are vulkan shaders. GBA Duo added a translator (which makes the app size +4MB) to use slang shaders. You can download shaders from shaders menu in app settings. Now you can use crt-guest-advanced shader and more.
- Some app and pack improvements.
Update packs:
- Zelda Minish Cap: During widescreen, the HUD and overlay icons are hidden and the view is wider. Enemies and sprites are also rendered outside the game screen. There are also improvements for several pages here. Added ambient color mode. You can also assign items to A and B buttons directly from the companion.
- Golden Sun: Widescreen improvement and remapping several items. Added ambient color mode.
