Two more Android testers needed!
Google Play requires 12 testers to opt in and use an app for 14 days before it can be published. 10 people have signed up so far! If you'd like to help NESd reach the Play Store, sign up in Discussions.
Added
- Play NESd in the browser at https://nesd.jpj.dev/play/, with a self-hostable Docker image (ghcr.io/jpjonte/nesd)
- Implemented GPU rendering on Linux and Windows
- Added Turbo for the A and B buttons on both controllers, with a configurable speed
- Fast-forward speed is configurable: 2x (default), 3x, 4x, max (without audio)
- Fast-forward now plays audio
- The file picker now supports letter skipping on a gamepad: the Previous/Next Tab actions jump to the previous/next starting letter
- Added a Swap Duty Cycles toggle to the Audio settings
- Added a Low Pass Filter toggle to the Audio settings
- Added overscan settings, configurable per side, 8px top and bottom by default
- Multiple video filters can now be activated at once
- The debug overlay now includes a frame time graph, splitting each frame into emulation work and pacing sleep
- Added an Audio settings tool
- Emulator tools can now be navigated with a gamepad
- Tools can now be focused using the "Focus Tools" action
- The log viewer now colors log levels and channels and supports text search
- Nightly and branch builds now show a build id in the About dialog and the startup log
Changed
- Video filters (CRT, smooth) can now run on top of the GPU renderer instead of forcing a fallback to the CPU renderer
- Updated default settings for new users: Auto load is enabled and scaling is set to "smooth"
- The main menu buttons now sit in a single row below the recent ROM list, so the ROM grid gets more rows on wide screens like the Steam Deck
- Recent ROM thumbnails now fade in and show a progress indicator when they take a while to load
- Holding a gamepad button in menus now speeds up the repeat rate over time
- Cancel on a gamepad (Escape on the keyboard) in the file picker now goes back one directory
- The log viewer now opens at the Info level and tags telemetry lines as Debug
- The About button moved from the main menu to the General settings tab
- The "Quit NESd" button is no longer shown on Android
- Flatpak nightlies are now published to the main jpj.dev Flatpak repo. Existing nightly installs show a message pointing at the new repo
Fixed
- Fixed the Zapper registering hits on the wrong target
- Fixed the CRT filter's scanlines rendering as one giant scanline
- Fixed constant audio crackling on some Android devices
- Fixed audio stutters due to inconsistent timers
- Fixed the "Save states" entry in the recent ROM context menu doing nothing when no game is running
- Fixed controller focus getting stuck in the file picker's search bar
- Fixed Escape quitting to the main menu instead of opening the in-game menu after resuming the game with Enter
- The Android status and navigation bars are now hidden by default
- Keys that are not bound to anything no longer trigger UI shortcuts while in game
- Fixed the main menu logo appearing late
- Fixed ROMs being loaded before the ROM database is ready
- Fixed emulator tools swallowing input and Escape quitting to main menu instead of opening the in-game menu
- Fixed not all architectures being published to the Flatpak repo
