  • On Screen Joystick Controls for N64 and PSX
  • APIs for keyboard, mouse, rumble, on-screen joystick. (coming in future release)
  • Apple TV: Support new Siri remote (MicroGamepad and DirectionalGamepad)

• GameBoy Advanced cheat code support
• Jaguar options exposed
• Long press a ROM for quick access to Core Options
• Mednafen

• Native Metal renderer option [WIP/Buggy]
• per-game option overrides
• radio selection options
• Sega Saturn Mutli-CD support
• Swift UI/UIKit optional code paths at app start (SwiftUI currernly empty, for easier development in future)

Improved

• On-Screen Controls
  • N64 layout improved
  • PSX layout improved

• Hide/Show systems chevron location tweaks
• If multiple cores support a system, cores are listed in recommended order.
