Resonance v01.41

Changelog

Resonance v01.40

Resonance v01.39

Changelog

• Added Frame Generation (experimental): for games that run at 30 fps, a picture made between each two frames, so the screen shows 60 (Video Settings, off by default)
• Changed the app icon to the purple swirl
• Changed the README: getting started, controls, settings, files and compatibility

Install: install Resonance-v01.39.pkg with GoldHEN's Package Installer (the new icon comes with the package), or update in the app from Settings → About → Check for Updates.

Resonance v01.37

Changelog

Resonance v01.36

Changelog

• Added Arcade Controls in Settings: choose the PS4 button for each NAOMI / Atomiswave function (buttons 1–8, Start, Coin, Service, Test), with Reset to Defaults

Install: Resonance-v01.36.pkg with GoldHEN's Package Installer, or update in the app from Settings → About → Check for Updates.

Resonance v01.35

Changelog

• Added coins for NAOMI and Atomiswave games: the touchpad inserts a coin, and the quick menu's Arcade Buttons press Test (operator menu, e.g. free play) or Service
• Added automatic 60 fps patches, from the community's Flycast cheat chart, matched to your disc's region
• Added typing cheat and patch codes on the console (quick menu → Cheats & Patches → Add Cheat Code / Add Patch Code; □ removes one)
• Fixed the PS4 keyboard confirming with ○ instead of ✕
• Fixed clocks showing UTC: the menus and the Dreamcast's clock now use the console's time zone

Install: install Resonance-v01.35.pkg once with GoldHEN's Package Installer (the keyboard fix needs the package). After that, update in the app from Settings → About → Check for Updates.
