AbyssME 0.3.0 Beta 3

A maintenance beta for the shared Java, Mophun and experimental Symbian / N-Gage library.

Downloads

  • Handheld: landscape, physical-controller focused.
  • Phone: portrait and landscape, numeric keypad or virtual Gamepad.
  • Both APKs require Android 10+ and 64-bit ARM. Install over the matching
    previous release to retain its data; the variants have independent libraries.
  • Games and phone firmware are not included.

Changes Since Beta 1

  • Added Light, Dark and Follow system appearance across the library, settings,
    installer, game menus and Phone controls. Improved the mapper on narrow screens.

  • Phone users can hide Display and Screenshot shortcuts independently under
    More > On-screen shortcuts or Settings > Playing. Menu remains available.

  • Restored tactile feedback for the numeric and Gamepad touch layouts across all
    three engines. Controls > Tactile feedback supports Try / Keep / Undo.
    Android's touch-feedback setting is respected; this does not add controller rumble.

  • Improved Java screen startup, screen changes and pause/resume through shared
    lifecycle handling. This is not a guarantee that every previously blank game works.

  • Automatic Java setup now uses explicit size and phone hints in original JAR
    filenames, below declared game metadata. Existing/manual profiles are preserved.

  • Added per-game FPS presets in More and Display, with persistent Try / Keep / Undo
    and steadier frame pacing. This is a frame limit, not a universal speed fix.

  • Identical Java imports from another location offer reuse of an installed game
    or a separate copy. Confirmed reuse preserves saves/settings and is remembered.

  • Improved returning to external launchers after cancellation and errors. Installed
    native games can export an .abyssme launch file. See launcher setup.

  • System-file import accepts ZIP/7z archives containing a ROM and matching RPKG.
    Import errors remain visible, with guidance about missing requirements.

  • Supported SIS/SISX games can be uninstalled from their exact virtual phone,
    with backup access, dependency checks and verification before library removal.
    Protected/shared packages and unsupported ownership cases are blocked.

  • Game information now shows the installed Java game's version and vendor.

  • N-Gage card entries remain visible when ordinary SIS games share the same phone.
    Identification is per installed card, rather than assuming the whole drive contains one game.

Known Limits

Symbian / N-Gage remains experimental. Snakes has reached gameplay; native
Asphalt 3 cold relaunch remains unreliable. Card-only and N-Gage 2.0 game removal
are not supported by the SIS uninstaller. Legacy dependencies and broad mixed-
platform collections still need work. System files must be supplied separately.

Beacon, Pegasus and Daijisho were exercised on Retroid during development;
ES-DE has not been verified. Intermittent game-startup reports, physical
controller ergonomics and perceived haptics on other phones remain open.
Passing instrumentation is not full-game, audio-listening or human acceptance.

Verification and Sources

Release verification
separates final signed-APK checks from earlier development tests.
Current project status
is the handoff for announcements and website copy.

Matching app source, Android dependency sources, pinned Symbian engine sources
and SHA-256 checksums accompany the APKs. Component notices remain intact;
GitHub Actions stays disabled and publication is manual.
