v0.7.0 - Xbox & Xbox 360 support + faster download engine
EmuHelper v0.7.0 — Xbox & Xbox 360 + a faster download engine
The biggest update yet.
🎮 Xbox & Xbox 360 support
Two major new consoles are now wired up and appear in the category picker like everything else:
- Xbox 360 — the full Redump alphabetical disc set, Title Updates, the Digital collections, plus DLC, XBLIG, XBLA, and a Rock Band DLC pack.
- Xbox — the complete Redump alphabetical disc set.
⚡ Faster downloads, now on by default
The multi-mirror download engine has been rebuilt around how the Internet Archive actually serves files. Instead of opening lots of cold connections that each restart from scratch, it now opens a few warm, reused HTTP/2 connections per mirror and spreads the work across the Archive's independent mirror datacenters. On-device testing showed it matches or beats the old downloader while running cooler on handhelds — so it's now the default. You can switch back to the simpler single-path downloader in Settings any time.
Install: download app-debug.apk below. Requires Android 10 (API 29)+. The alpha installs as a separate .debug package, so it won't collide with any future release build.
