v2.0 — raylib engine, native launch screen, Steam Deck AppImage

Bring your own ROM — Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (USA) is the only user-supplied file; the launch BIOS is bundled (clean-room emibios, LGPL-3.0-or-later, committed at bios/).

New in v2.0

  • Native raylib engine and launch screen — the V2 backend replaces the SDL/recomp-ui stack. The launch screen has box art, a native ROM picker, and drag-and-drop; the in-game settings menu is now raygui with Display, Graphics, Audio, Save states, and Assist sections.
  • Steam Deck / SteamOS AppImage — built in a pinned Debian 12 container (glibc 2.35 floor), with Game Mode defaults (borderless fullscreen and the resize-driven widescreen view). It unpacks to a writable XDG data directory; updating the AppImage keeps the ROM pick, settings, and saves.
  • Shader and frame stack — MMPX edge smoothing, sharp scaling, pixel grid, LCD subpixel grille, LCD boost, dither, and deband, plus frame interpolation and LCD ghosting. Each is toggleable in the in-game menu.
  • Fast-forward 2–10x — hold Tab, 2, or the right trigger, or tap the on-screen FF pill to latch it. The speed is set in Assist and persists across sessions.
  • Widescreen — validated up to 448 px on desktop; Android uses a density-scaled expanded view.
  • Android controllers and touch — built-in, USB, and Bluetooth pads work label-wise; the pad's menu/center button, the Back key, or a touch long-press / three-finger tap opens the settings menu. Android versionCode is now 2.
  • Save states — slot selector, save, load, and resume under Save states, alongside cartridge saves.
  • Strict fully-static execution — zero interpreter fallback on executed paths, kept there by the self-healing coverage loop.
  • ROM-free release pipeline — tag pushes only create the draft shell; the artifacts are built and verified on the maintainer's machine. No ROM or retail BIOS material is uploaded to GitHub.

  • The Linux zip and AppImage are built in a pinned Debian 12 container (glibc 2.35 floor); the Windows build is a static executable. Linux needs the standard OpenGL/X11 stack, which desktops already ship.
  • The ROM is hash-verified at launch (SHA-1 4ac05441…); a mismatch means the dump is not the expected USA ROM.
  • The APK is debug-signed (tracked open decision). If an existing install was signed with a different key, uninstall it and reinstall; back up the 64 KiB ffta_us.sav first if needed.
  • The AppImage needs FUSE. Without it, use APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 or --appimage-extract-and-run.
  • Every executed path is strict fully-static (zero interpreter fallback), kept that way by the self-healing coverage loop.
