This update connects slot. for Android to your own RomM server, gives Game Boy Advance Video cartridges their own shelf, and makes motion games work on handhelds without a gyroscope.
What's New
- RomM — If you run your own RomM server, a self-hosted library for your games, slot. can now download games from it. Open START → Library → RomM, enter your server's address and sign in. Choose the games you want: they download into your ROM folder and appear on their shelf with their label.
- Game Boy Advance Video — GBA Video cartridges have their own shelf: on the GBA shelf, tap L2 or R2 to switch to it and back. They play on mGBA, with an Upscaler in the Screen menu (FSR by default, Anime4K Fast, Anime4K).
- Delete a game from the carousel — Hold L2 + R2 for 1.5 seconds to delete the selected game. Its saves and save states are kept.
- Motion sensitivity — Games you play by tilting or turning the handheld (WarioWare: Twisted!, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, Koro Koro Puzzle and Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble) now have a Sensitivity setting from 1 to 10, saved for each game. Change it in the in-game menu, Settings → Emulation, or while playing with R3 / L3 or SELECT + R2 / L2.
- crt-royale — A new CRT shader for the NES, Super Nintendo and Mega Drive.
- Fast Forward MAX — Settings → Gameplay → Fast Forward has a new MAX setting: uncapped speed.
- Lighter shaders — LCD Effect, Dot Matrix and the CRT shaders use less of the GPU, with the same look.
- Mega Drive cartridges — Accolade, Codemasters, Virtua Racing and Sonic & Knuckles shells, and EA's cartridge for every EA game.
- Shader order — Each system lists its shaders in a clearer order.
- Status Bar — Icons line up with the clock and battery, and turn black on light wallpapers.
Fixed
- WarioWare: Twisted! now works on handhelds without a gyroscope, such as the KONKR Pocket Advance: turn the handheld and slot. detects the rotation with the accelerometer. Handhelds with a gyroscope still use it. (#106)
- RetroAchievements: the status says what slot. is doing (Caching games, Caching badges, Retrying…), and a badge missing on the server no longer leaves it on "Needs attention". (#105)
- On near-square screens, the NES shows in 8:7 like the Super Nintendo, instead of a taller picture.
Installation
Install the APK below over your existing version: your games, saves and settings are kept. On 2.0 and later, slot. also offers this update from START → About. On 1.3, install this APK by hand once.
