slot. for Android v2.1.1

Warning

Cart Studio — Android System WebView required

Cart Studio requires Android System WebView, which is normally pre-installed on most Android devices.

On some handhelds, such as the KONKR Pocket Block, it may be missing. If Cart Studio shows a blank screen, install or update Android System WebView from the Play Store, then reopen slot.

This update introduces customizable controller mappings and hotkeys, along with online multiplayer. The repository has also been renamed to slot-for-android.

Fixed in 2.1.1

• GB, GBC and GBA labels — Labels download again, and Cart Studio’s Real Label shows them.
• A, Up and Down mapping — They can no longer be cleared in Settings → Controls. If you cleared one in 2.1.0, updating restores it.
• Save folders — Choosing a save or save state folder now copies your saves, states and Polaroids into it. If the folder already has different ones, you choose which to keep; nothing is deleted.
• Custom logo — In Cart Studio, a picture without transparency now fills the whole label.

What's New

• Multiplayer over the Internet (beta) — Next to LAN, play over the Internet (WAN) with a four-digit room code: Host shows the code, Y shares it, your friend types it with the D-pad. No router setup. Every Link mode works except Gambatte's Game Boy link, which stays on LAN for now.
• Settings → Controls — Choose the controller of Port 1 and Port 2 and remap its buttons. With a second controller, two players share one handheld on NES, Super Nintendo and Mega Drive.
• Hotkeys — Change every shortcut, and choose SELECT, L3 or R3 as the Hotkey Button
• Controls per system and per game
• Screen menu — SELECT + Y opens it straight from the game. The game stays in view while you change its shader, color correction, palette and overlay, and L1 / R1 change the screen size.
• Frame Blending — Off, Mix or Ghosting for each system, for games that flicker their sprites to draw shadows or transparency.

Fixed

• Grid draws its lines as the original slot., even at any scale.
• LCD Grid V2 blends its subpixels as in RetroArch.
• AGB-001 and AGS-001 keep even subpixel columns at any scale.
• Settings → Systems pages show their system's name.
• No more "LABELS" flash after ejecting a cartridge.
• Multiplayer keycaps fit 4:3 and narrower screens.

Installation

Install the APK below over your existing version: your games, saves and settings are kept. On 2.0 and 2.1, slot. also offers this update from START → About. On 1.3, install this APK by hand once; updates from START → About work again from there.

slot. for KONKR Pocket Advance v1.3.4

slot. for KONKR Pocket Advance — v1.3.4

A big update: a second core for Game Boy and Game Boy Color, new screen sizes and overlays, sharper visuals at the KONKR's native resolution, and controls that respond like RetroArch.

What's New

• Game Boy and Game Boy Color multiplayer — Multiplayer now works in GB and GBC games, with both mGBA and Gambatte.
• Gambatte core for Game Boy and Game Boy Color — GB and GBC games can now run on Gambatte as well as mGBA. Press SELECT on a cartridge to choose the core for that game. Your saves follow you when you switch cores.
• Default core per system — Settings → Systems now has a page for each system (GBA, GBC, GB) with a Default Core option. You can still override it for any game with SELECT.
• New GB/GBC screen sizes — L1 and R1 switch between Integer, Original Ratio and Stretch.
• Game Boy overlays — Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket overlays for GB games, and a Game Boy Color overlay for GBC games. Made by Watomsk, adapted to the KONKR's 3:2 screen.
• Live GB Palette — The palette changes in real time while you browse them, as in slot. 1.8.1.
• Sharper visuals — Cartridges, labels, icons and menus are now rendered at the KONKR's native 960x640 resolution.
• More responsive controls — The D-pad (hat) is read directly with no buffering, quick taps between two frames are no longer lost, and inputs are polled at a steady point in each frame, as in RetroArch. Audio output latency is lower too.
• Adaptive Link Cable delay — The mGBA Link Cable input delay now adjusts automatically to the connection quality between the two consoles.
• Faster game launch — Games start quickly even after idling on the shelf, and the first scroll after ejecting a game is smooth.

Fixed in 1.3.4

• Stick stuck on a direction (#68) — On handhelds whose analog stick also drives the D-pad, a direction could stay held after letting go of the stick. The stick now releases cleanly.
• Tilt and gyro games (#67) — slot. now passes the handheld's accelerometer and gyroscope to mGBA, as RetroArch does. Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, Koro Koro Puzzle, WarioWare: Twisted! and Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble are now playable on handhelds with motion sensors.
• Boktai solar sensor (#69) — Boktai 1, 2 and 3 get a Sun setting in the in-game menu (Settings → Emulation), saved per game: each level lights one bar of the gauge (0 to 8 in Boktai 1, 0 to 10 in Boktai 2 and 3). L3 / R3 or SELECT + L2 / R2 change it while playing. On handhelds with a light sensor, SENSOR uses the real light. Sun starts at 0: set it to 0 before the game's solar sensor calibration.
• Sensor games on gpSP — gpSP doesn't emulate cartridge sensors, so these games now always start on mGBA. Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble starts on mGBA when Gambatte is chosen.
• Game Boy boot screen on Gambatte (#71) — With gb_bios.bin / gbc_bios.bin in your BIOS folder, the Game Boy boot screen now shows on Gambatte, as on mGBA.
• Rumble on Gambatte — Rumble cartridges such as Pokémon Pinball now vibrate on Gambatte too.
• Empty save state — An empty save state file no longer crashes mGBA: the game starts fresh instead.

Fixed in 1.3.3

• Stuck screen after an update — After updating from inside slot., the "App installed" screen no longer gets stuck. The fix applies to updates installed from 1.3.3 onward.

Fixed in 1.3.2

• RetroAchievements on GBA — Some games, such as Super Mario Advance, showed "Core does not expose achievement RAM" at launch when Run-Ahead was on. Achievements now work with Run-Ahead.
• Pokémon Emerald achievements — Games with a large achievement set, such as Pokémon Emerald, showed "Achievement tracking interrupted" right after launch. Tracking now starts cleanly.
• BIOS message at startup — With slot. as the home app, "Couldn't import BIOS files" no longer appears after restarting the console. Your BIOS files were never lost.
• Controls after sleep — Buttons now respond as soon as the console wakes up, with no 2-second delay or grey screen.

Fixed in 1.3.1

• Pokémon save error on exit — On mGBA, Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald showed "Couldn't save" when ejecting a game that had not been saved in-game yet. Save and Eject now works, and an existing in-game save is still protected.
