heyy!! mir-co here. this update fixes the last critical sharpdroid-only bug i found while testing Dreaming Sarah! which makes it a milestone for sharpdroid: we have apparently reached parity with SharpEmu on PC in terms of correctness. at least when scoped to running Dreaming Sarah on a Snapdragon 8 Elite.

known issues

please approach this first release with tempered expectations. sharpdroid is not quite usable yet. it still suffers from a few issues that prevent any game from being properly playable:

• most runs lose audio or freeze permanently within a few minutes of gameplay. learn more ↗
• 1 in 14 runs crashes. learn more ↗

still missing

• touch controls
• manual controller mapping
• guest process pause and resume
• emulation frontend support

features

the feature set is still relatively small, but will grow over time. here is what sharpdroid ships with today:

• emulation
  • a SharpEmu build manager
  • multiple FEXCore presets
  • host processor instruction set probing
  • physical controller support
• graphics
  • a graphics driver manager and mesa turnip driver injection
• app
  • a game list
  • a game folder manager and SAF game directory picking
  • an optional all files access permission toggle, for potentially better game file read performance
  • per-game settings
  • cache based game loading progress estimation
  • a back button overlay with a Log window and an Exit game button
  • a user data manager
  • cache based game loading progress estimation
  • multiple themes to choose from

tested hardware

the project is built to work on an AYN Odin 3 Max running android 15, with its Snapdragon 8 Elite, Adreno 830, and 16GB RAM. that being said, Dreaming Sarah is confirmed to perform surprisingly well on an AYN Thor running android 13, with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
