GoldenPad 0.1.0 Preview 3

Preview 3 is the accepted controls update for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon
Mac. It stays on Preview 2's accepted game, save, audio, and RT64/Metal
rendering foundation while improving how players configure and use controls.

Highlights

  • Adds an opt-in Sidestep with left/right movement adapter for touch and
    connected controllers during live single-player gameplay with GoldenEye's
    1.1 Honey control style. Preview 2 movement remains the default, Original N64
    C-button mode remains available, and menus plus experimental multiplayer keep
    their established mappings.
  • Rewrites first-run and invalid-ROM setup copy in plain language. GoldenPad no
    longer exposes the internal GoldenEye_TLBFREE.z64 filename or implies that
    the user's original file will be replaced.
  • Promotes the hands-on-accepted Mac control pass: WASD movement, relative mouse
    look, left mouse Fire, right mouse Action, middle click or wheel weapon
    cycling, Shift Aim, E Action, Q next weapon, R reload, C crouch, 1–9/0 owned
    inventory selection, Escape pause, and Delete pointer release. Space is
    unassigned.
  • Retains the accepted Preview 2 single-player, save/preferences, touch-layout,
    Player 1 controller, in-app retail-ROM conversion, and experimental
    split-screen rendering baselines.

The 18-member IPA is unsigned and must be re-signed for your own device. Its
sorted unsigned app-content SHA-256 is
956e805d2575167b1045c7c5769f22f55d933e5a60c4a6283bfe30fedc1e5ab0.
It contains no ROM, save, provisioning profile, or signing identity.

The 20-member Mac archive contains a native arm64, ad-hoc-signed, non-notarized
app. Its sorted app-content SHA-256 is
e15c17528a72881e3062504c2abc82a0a57bf0d039feb8240cbaf03b5db4f941.
The thin far-right blue render edge remains known technical debt.

Acceptance record

  • The user declared the final Preview 3 iPhone/iPad and Mac behavior stable for
    publication, with no newly observed major regression.
  • The final signed mobile executable SHA-256 is
    6ad969b56b6358e8c2731f97063b3d0dccf28674fdb4939216a289a330d8a72e.
    Build 3 was installed in place on the attached iPad; both ROM copies, the
    active save, backup save, and the latest preferences remained byte-identical.
    The resulting session passed ROM validation and entered the GoldenEye loop.
  • The accepted Mac executable SHA-256 is
    a6352c5179ff5822f4af3d1b20e1b02bf0d5d1af46b453c9bceca435b7e59808.
  • Two independent packaging runs produced byte-identical mobile and Mac release
    archives, and both repository package verifiers passed.

Known limitations

  • Local multiplayer remains experimental. Slight lighting flicker and real
    Player 3/4 controller ownership remain open.
  • Online and peer-to-peer multiplayer are not implemented.
  • Native-60-Hz automatic-fire authenticity, intermittent audio static,
    screenshot/background lifecycle behavior, A12X compatibility issue #9, and
    stage-specific rendering faults remain documented technical debt.
  • The Mac Alpha retains the thin far-right blue edge and still needs broader
    long-session performance coverage.
  • The new sidestep adapter is opt-in. Public issue #8 should remain open until
    the reporter confirms touch and controller behavior on their setup.
