DKR-R v1.0.11 Android Community Preview

Overview

This release restores active Android support for Diddy Kong Racing Recompiled (DKR-R) following upstream's discontinuation of Android support in ThatGuyMcd/DKR-R#70. Built against the complete upstream v1.0.11 code line including all recent rendering, vehicle, and stability enhancements.

Highlights & Fixes

  1. Adreno 650 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) Crash-on-Launch Fix

    • Resolves the hard SIGSEGV crash in vulkan.adreno.so inside qglinternal::vkCmdBindPipeline.
    • Plume now guards pipeline handles so failed shader links never pass a null handle to Vulkan command buffers, allowing devices like the Retroid Pocket 5, Ayn Odin, and Galaxy S20 series to boot and play smoothly.

  2. Full N64 US Rev A (v1.1) ROM Support

    • Added automated multi-revision handling for US Rev A (dkr.us.v80 / 6d96743d46f8c0cd0edb0ec5600b003c89b93755) alongside original US v1.0 (dkr.us.v77).

  3. Startup Health Dialog Guard

    • Clears and guards against initial modal startup crashes on clean installations.

  4. Handheld Controller & Presentation Tuning

    • Fully calibrated for modern handheld gaming layouts (Retroid Pocket 5, Ayn, etc.):
      • Button A: Gas / Accelerate / Confirm
      • Button X / B: Brake / Reverse / Cancel
      • Right Trigger (RT): Modern racing trigger acceleration
      • Left Trigger (LT): Item / Weapon fire
      • Right Bumper (RB): Hop / Drift
      • Left Bumper (LB): Map / Horn
    • Reduced stick deadzones from 23.95% down to 6.0% with linear 1:1 steering curves and 0.20 hair-trigger engagement.
    • Interpolated 60 FPS presentation at native 1080p.

  5. Upstream v1.0.11 Upgrades

    • Includes all 22 post-1.0.10 upstream enhancements: memory stability primary heap, render stability liquid replacement gate, water residency in RT64, vehicle original texture restoration, and netplay performance improvements.
