Lime3DS 2111

• Linux: Downgraded minimum glibc version from 2.38 to 2.36
  • This fixes a regression introduced in 2110 where certain Linux distros, such as the Steam Deck's SteamOS, were unable to launch Lime3DS via AppImage due to the glibc version being too recent
• Android: Updated internal resolution selection interface to more closely match the desktop equivalent
  • The setting is now configured using a dropdown menu instead of a slider
  • Alongside the multiplier, the resulting resolution is now also displayed
• Updated log filenames
  • citra_log.txt --> lime3ds_log.txt
  • citra_log.txt.old.txt --> lime3ds_log.old.txt

Notes:

• It is recommended to delete the old citra_log.XXX files to avoid accidentally sending them instead of the newer files when filing bug reports
• We are currently looking for maintainers to help with reviewing PRs and investigating issues
  • Must have prior experience contributing to open source projects and familiarity with C++
  • Bonus points if you contributed to Citra
  • Inquire at our Discord server if you are interested in helping out

Lime3DS 2110

• Fixed a crash when entering fullscreen while playing Super Smash Bros. 3DS on Vulkan (#87)
• Minor across-the-board performance improvements on Mali GPUs
• Android: Fixed on-screen overlay joysticks having an incorrect draw order
• Updated build environments

  • Android build: AGP 8.2.1 --> 8.3.2
    • Gradle 8.2 --> 8.4

Notes:

• The Smash Bros fix included a large-scale restructure of several sections of the Vulkan renderer. This may result in compatibility improvements for other games which we did not expect. Please feel free to share these with us if you find any!

Lime3DS 2109

Notes:

• If you are using Android, please migrate to using Obtainium for installing and updating Lime3DS, as this is now our official method. You can find more information in our readme
• This update introduces a regression in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon while using Vulkan. This involves a consistent crash during the first Pixelator cutscene. Please use OpenGL for the time being when playing this game. Apologies for any inconvenience
• This update changes which files are available to download with releases. Namely, Android App Bundles (.aab) and 7Zip archives (.7z) are no longer available to download

Lime3DS 2108

• Fixed a major crashing issue on ARM MacOS introduced in 2106
• Android: Added button haptics
• Updated dependencies
• Logging improvements for unrecoverable exceptions

Notes

• If the haptics aren't working for you, please ensure that you have haptics enabled and/ or your phone supports the appropraite haptics by using a haptics checker app
• A non-insignificant amount of time was dedicated purely to investigating the aforementioned MacOS crash. For this reason, today's update is quite small

Lime3DS 2107

• Android: Major stability improvements for the Vulkan renderer (Thanks GPUCode!)
• Enabled SPIR-V optimization, allowing for smaller compiled Vulkan shaders
• Android: Added an overlay button to swap screens
  • This button is disabled by default, and must be enabled in Overlay Options --> Toggle Controls
• Android: The side drawer is now locked by default
• Default system username is now "LIME3DS"
• Default number of play coins has been updated to 300
• Fixed the Exit hotkey not working correctly

Notes

• Lime3DS is now available on Flathub. You can download it from https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/io.github.lime3ds.Lime3DS
• We are looking for developers with access to an ARM-based Mac to help us investigate a bug. If this is you, please contact us on our Discord server linked in the project Readme!

• Rebranded logos and strings to use Lime3DS's branding over Citra's
