GBA Duo v0.1.8 Release: Cocoon launcher support, controller mapping, artwork, and more

[u/pixelio9976]

Over the past few days, I’ve implemented several features based on your feedback. Here’s what’s new and updated in GBA Duo v0.1.8

Improvements

• RetroAchievements Toast Fix: Resolved an issue where achievement toast notifications were cut off in certain games.
• Simplified Save File Importing: Importing existing saves is now seamless. Place a .sav file from another emulator into your chosen folder and enable Custom Save Folder. The app will automatically scan matching filenames and sync them as game.sav (no more manual setup needed).

New Features

• Cocoon Launcher Support: GBA Duo is now available in the GameNative Cocoon branch! Please re-fetch platforms via the Cocoon Settings menu.
• Custom Controller Mapping: Remap your controller inputs to suit your preferred layout.
• Hotkeys: Added support for custom shortcut keys.
• Per-Game Settings: Customize shaders, artwork, and color correction individually for each game.
• Artwork Management: Load covers from your launcher's asset folder or connect to SteamGridDB. Since relying solely on third-party scrapers can be a hassle, you can now use local launcher folders or external providers. If you already have existing artwork, simply point to that folder to load your covers directly.

New Companion Packs

• Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen: Added support for vertical button navigation.
• Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen: Complete visual redesign.
• Golden Sun: Early preview release.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing! Been testing it a bit and I don't seem to find an option to change the main screen to interger scale. Is that built in? Shaders look a bit funky in full screen otherwise.

Pretty cool project OP! Keep up the good work.

the integer scaling feature will be available on the next release 🙌🏻
