SnapPad v0.1.0

The first public SnapPad release brings Pokémon Snap to iPhone, iPad, and Apple
Silicon Mac through ahead-of-time static recompilation and native Metal
rendering.

Included

  • Complete customizable N64 touch controls for iPhone and iPad
  • SDL-compatible physical-controller support
  • Native Files-based ROM selection, exact revision validation, and private
    on-device storage
  • Persistent FlashRAM saves and settings
  • Original 4:3, Fill Screen, and default-off Wide (Experimental) presentation
  • Native diagnostics, lifecycle handling, and data-preserving update support
  • iPhone and iPad app icons plus the required privacy manifest

The release candidate was accepted as stable by the maintainer after hands-on
play on a physical 12.9-inch iPad Pro running iPadOS 26.6.

Read the installation and update guide before installing.

Known limits

  • Dedicated physical-iPhone, wider controller/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.
  • A visible opening terrain seam remains under investigation.
  • Wide remains experimental because photo capture and scoring are authored
    around the original 4:3 presentation.

Company, or their partners. The upstream decompilation and translated-code
rights boundary remains unresolved. See RIGHTS_AND_LICENSES.md before
