SnapPad Preview 3

SnapPad Preview 3

Preview 3 strengthens Pokémon Snap photo review, separates iOS controller
presses from keyboard Start input, and makes support tools easier to find.

Included

• Photo-subject correlation at the game's accepted makePhoto event, covering
  the normal hold-Z shutter path without inferring a particular button chord
• A narrow SDL2 iOS routing patch that prevents controller-style UIKit Select
  presses from also becoming keyboard Return/Start
• Diagnostics & Support… in the three-dot menu
• Export Diagnostics & Logs… using the existing privacy-reviewed report
• Open GitHub Issues for direct access to SnapPad's issue tracker
• Regression contracts for photo correlation, controller routing, and support
  menu actions

The maintainer completed a hands-on pass on a physical 12.9-inch iPad Pro
running iPadOS 26.6. Holding Z and taking normal Beach photographs produced
selectable recognized Pokémon, Professor Oak accepted multiple species and
better reports, and the next course unlocked. The in-place update preserved
both private ROM copies, both FlashRAM save files, preferences, and layout data
byte-for-byte.

Install Preview 3 over an existing SnapPad installation to preserve its private
app container; do not delete the app first.

Known limits

• The controller routing repair has automated and build coverage, but the
  reporter's PS5 and MCON controller models were not available for a physical
  reproduction. If A/Cross still pauses, export diagnostics immediately after
  reproducing it and attach the report to the GitHub issue.
• Dedicated physical-iPhone, interruption, thermal, and long mobile-soak
  coverage remains ongoing.
• Full progression through every course, report, album, gallery, Rainbow Cloud,
  and credits is not yet comprehensively accepted.
• Wide remains experimental because photo capture and scoring are authored
  around the original 4:3 presentation.

SnapPad Preview 2

SnapPad Preview 2

Preview 2 adds native gyro camera controls for iPhone and iPad while retaining
the stable v0.1.0 game, save, rendering, audio, touch, and controller paths.

Included

• Opt-in gyro enablement in the three-dot menu
• A movable and resizable GYRO OFF/ON gameplay control
• Gyro camera input that replaces the analog camera stick only while active
• 50–250% sensitivity under SnapPad Settings → Gyro
• Independent horizontal and vertical inversion
• Physically accepted defaults: 190% sensitivity, horizontal inversion off,
  vertical inversion on
• Motion input neutralization for menus, layout editing, backgrounding,
  controller handoff, and touch-control disablement
• Gyro settings in the privacy-bounded diagnostics report

The candidate was accepted as stable by the maintainer after hands-on gyro
play on a physical 12.9-inch iPad Pro running iPadOS 26.6. The in-place update
preserved the private ROM, FlashRAM saves, preferences, and touch layout.
