Kirikiroid2-NX v0.1.2-alpha

Kirikiroid2-NX v0.1.2-alpha — controller support and the AlphaMovie plugin.

What's new

• Joy-Con / Pro Controller (handheld, attached or wireless), through Kirikiroid2's own gamepad handling (as on Android):
  • A = advance / confirm, B = cancel / right-click, D-pad = select; X / Y / L / R / ZL / ZR / + are sent to the game as pad keys.
  • Left stick shows and moves a mouse cursor; with the cursor shown, A / B click at the cursor. Touching the screen hides it again.
  • − opens the Kirikiroid2 menu. In Kirikiroid2's own screens (file selector, settings, dialogs) B works as the back key.
  • Games handle pad keys differently; buttons can be remapped in Kirikiroid2's preferences (key map).
• AlphaMovie plugin (.amv alpha movies). Fixes games stopping with Member "AlphaMovie" does not exist (e.g. Akatsuki no Goei), including loading old saves.
• Credits screen updated.

Kirikiroid2-NX v0.1.1-alpha

Kirikiroid2-NX v0.1.1-alpha — save/load fixes and two more plugins from the Kirikiroid2 1.3.9 APK.

What's new

• layerExDraw plugin (GDI+-style vector and outlined text drawing, on Blend2D). Fixes the save/load screen of games that crashed with Member "edgeEmphasis" does not exist (e.g. Osananajimi wa Daitouryou).
• fstat plugin (Storages.isExistentDirectory, dirlist, deleteFile, …). Fixes games that stopped at startup with Cannot find storage … (e.g. Mahoutsukai no Yoru).
• Saving no longer fails with Not supported media type "" when a game deletes an old save thumbnail.
• Faster: release build now uses the same optimisation level as the Android build.
• Logs: the previous run's log is kept as k2s_log.prev.txt; logs and crash reports show the build time.
