The performance update !

  • Fixed a scheduling issue. Now all Gizmongo (and most 3D PocketPC) games are running at a solid +50fps with no slowdowns
  • PC/Linux/Deck : Added custom open/save files menu so that you can use it with your external controller. No need to use the mouse or keyboard
  • Android : fixed a bug in which the CPU was not selectable (settings)
  • Fixed a gx draw timing issue (Prince of Persia, Ethernal Throne, etc...)
  • Fixed the FPS counter (was reporting a value calculated on frame moves, not real outputted frames)
  • Fixed Android build signature.
  • Added a full backup create/restore option so that you can save your whole library+saves+configuration and use it on another device
  • Fixed a conflicting audio bug between Gizmondo architecture and PocketPC

Linux version here : https://github.com/guizmox/PocketHLE/actions/runs/40883452049/artifacts/12901837355

If you need to backup your android game data because the update forces you to remove the previous version, please use the "PocketHLE-Android-ADB-Backup.zip" file : contains scripts (windows/linux) to extract your data and migrate it to the new version.

Colors Turf Wars improved so that everyone will be able to play without the need of playing Solo Mode first.

  • Use "Unlock Turf Wars" and get instant 75 000$ credit on your Turf account
  • Start the game AT LEAST ONE in Solo Mode
  • Then you'll be able to register and play Turf Wars.

Refreshing Fake random GPS position near Paris :
