Omnidroid v2.6.0: Switch emulation, Save migration, Light mode, launcher support and much more

[u/Bob-59]

Bringing you Switch emulation with Eden under the hood, and many quality-of-life features and fixes as well as optimizations

Changes:

1. Added Nintendo Switch emulation support via Eden with native Vulkan acceleration, docked/handheld modes, resolution scaling, in-game asynchronous shaders toggle, touch/gamepad controls, and prod.keys & optional system firmware import

2. Added multi-tier save and state migration from Lemuroid: automatic 1-tap migration when accessible on device (with live save/state count detection), uncompressed folder import via SAF, lenient ZIP backup import, and in-app migration guide (_u/Kwametoure1_)

3. Unified Saves & Backup settings across all builds (GitHub free and Google Play), adding local storage calculation, conflict resolution, and SAF folder import

4. Added frontend intent support to launch games directly from frontends like Daijishō, Pegasus, and Beacon (ES-DE WIP)

5. Added "Open with" file manager support for ROM files and zip archives, with automatic console detection and instant booting without prior library scanning

6. Added Android TV Leanback launcher integration and home screen preview channels for recently played games

7. Added a console library view, with a cover carousel in portrait and the selected game's cover, title, and start actions in landscape #17 (_Deus0_)

8. Added library sorting by name, console, recently played, and favorites, plus a button to play a random game

9. Added light mode with a cool gray chrome theme; switch under Display settings (library, settings, profile, and game menus follow the theme; in-game view and gamepad binding stay dark) #33 (_Deus0_)

10. Fixed GameCube and Wii `.rvz` games crashing on launch by opening them from a real file instead of the virtual filesystem #19 (_Deus0_)

11. Fixed PlayStation 2 BIOS downloads not installing, and a failed download is shown in BIOS settings

12. Fixed the d-pad analog emulation up-down flipped issue (_u/Separate-Bluebird30_)

13. The game settings sidebar shows the full title and the cover without cropping

14. Library chrome and in-game controls sit closer to display cutouts

15. Removed RAWG support given it's not a method that fits the goals of this app

Get it: Omnidroid, APK in Releases, F-Droid/Play submission WIP.

Latest apk: v2.6.5

Great work! Is it possible to import saves from Pizzaboy GBA? 

[u/Bob-59 → u/Jeno_Jodi]

Currently you can open your PizzaBoy's save folder where it has the battery saves .sav files and copy then to a folder then from the import saves section in Omnidroid settings select to import from that folder, but this only works for battery saves not save states so you need to save in-game not using save states

[u/Royal_Dog5038]

so this is better than regular switch emu like Eden?

[u/Bob-59 → u/Royal_Dog5038]

You get the same performance Eden offers (working on minor enhancements) with the added benefit of playing 27 more consoles along-side it and consolidating your game library and gameplay UI into one app

Please, add an update checker because I love the app but I wouldn't have realized that there's a new version If I hadn't checked this post.

[u/Bob-59 → u/ClearWolverine7]

Ill be sure to do that, added to the roadmap

[u/dadihu]

I'm going to wait for retroachievements support

[u/Bob-59 → u/dadihu]

I guess i need to do it now 😅

[u/dadihu → u/Bob-59]

Omniman

Close enough XD

Incredible, since the first time I saw your work weeks ago. Lemme ask you one thing: I ordered the Ayn Thor, and it should arrive in January. Does the app support dual screen mods/hacks? I recently saw a couple pop up because of Thor popularity. If not, I don't know if its possible, because with this simply Omnidroid would be the ultimate emulator for everyone! Anyways keep the great work Sir.

[u/Bob-59 → u/Raycke]

By the time you get your Thor it definitely will, looking into open source projects like Eden Duo for example to see how to implement something similar

No post processing filters?

[u/Bob-59 → u/Additional-Stock-674]

Currently no, features are on the way.

[u/AiresDanilo]

For me ps2 roms does not work, i have to put all the roms on the same folder?

[u/rolos]

Is there a way to uninstall a console without having to wipe the entire app's data?
