X360 Mobile 0.6.1

X360 Mobile 0.6.1

X360 Mobile 0.6.1 is a public compatibility and stability update focused on safer per-game configuration, Vulkan correctness and improved behavior in titles investigated during development.

Recommended Game Settings

• Added a secure online catalog for Title ID-specific recommended settings.
• Recommended settings are matched locally without uploading the user's game library or Title IDs.
• The app can propose compatible settings when matching games are detected.
• Recommendations can also be checked manually from each game's settings.
• Existing custom settings are preserved unless the user explicitly chooses to replace them.
• Applied recommendations can be safely restored to their previous values.

The initial catalog includes profiles developed while investigating:

• Assassin's Creed — recommends strict occlusion queries to prevent missing or flickering geometry.
• Grand Theft Auto IV — recommends the direct system-memory rendering path to improve stability with compatible Turnip drivers.

Core and Storage Fixes

• Fixed a general Android file-access issue where a guest file opened for both reading and writing could incorrectly become write-only.
• This correction addresses one verified cause of Dirty Disc errors and benefits all games using the affected file-access path.
• Improved handling of repeated offline XHTTP calls, preventing unnecessary recurring errors in titles that continuously poll unavailable Xbox network services.

Vulkan Improvements

• Fixed a graphics synchronization issue affecting consecutive texture uploads to the same image.
• Required write ordering is now preserved even when the texture layout itself does not change.
• Improved Vulkan extension discovery and Vulkan 1.3 feature initialization.
• Added the per-game vulkan_rendering_path setting:
  • auto — lets the driver choose;
  • sysmem — renders directly through system memory;
  • gmem — requests the tiled on-chip rendering path.
• Custom Turnip options are normalized to prevent contradictory GMEM and sysmem selections.

Update System Improvements

• Corrected the public update-manifest publishing workflow.
• APK package identity, version, channel, file size and SHA-256 are now validated before an update enters the public feed.
• Existing X360 Mobile 0.6.0 installations can detect 0.6.1 through the in-app updater.

Package Information

• Package: emu.x360mobile.com
• Version: 0.6.1
• Version code: 6019000
• Architecture: Android ARM64
• Installs as an in-place update over X360 Mobile 0.6.0.

Post-release Update Dialog Hotfix

• Fixed update prompts with long release notes extending beyond the available screen height and hiding the update, cancel, or later actions on some handheld displays.
• Release notes now scroll independently by touch or controller D-pad while the action buttons remain visible.
• The three actions automatically stack vertically on narrow screens, preserving translated labels without clipping.
• This is an in-place replacement of the existing 0.6.1 APK; no new release or version tag was created.
