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.

Read the installation and update guide
before installing. Install Preview 2 over an existing SnapPad installation to
preserve its private app container; do not delete the app first.

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.

SnapPad is unofficial and is not affiliated with Nintendo, The Pokémon
Company, or their partners. The upstream decompilation and translated-code
rights boundary remains unresolved. See RIGHTS_AND_LICENSES.md before
