TreeFrogUI v1.5.0_j prerelease

Changes since the v1.5.0_i build:

  • Restored opt-in diagnostics on SF3000: log.txt is no longer created or
    written unless the user creates it first.

User-facing changes since the stable v1.4.0_q release:

  • Battery status uses the calibrated curve and adds an option to restore the stock battery indicator.

  • Fixed localized Picoarch player-control labels, the missing volume percent sign, and volume value alignment.

  • Picoarch reports the fail count correctly when audio starvation is detected.

  • Nintendo DS is available in the new roms/nds folder through the
    experimental standalone DSperate emulator. It uses the bounded MIPS JIT
    with safe native ALU forms and interpreter fallback for unsupported forms;
    Select + Start exits back to TreeFrogUI.

  • Audio fixes suppress idle speaker static, fix silent PS1 launches and media
    playback after audio handoff, and make launcher menu ticks audible.

  • System volume is shared between FrogUI Settings, the in-game menu, and the
    physical volume buttons, with changes followed live during gameplay.

  • Appearance settings add optional Allium-inspired colour palettes, the Nunito
    font used by Allium, and an adjustable UI font size from 18 to 26 px. The
    existing default colour theme remains unchanged.

  • Added French and Italian translations, updated Brazilian Portuguese, and
    expanded the Japanese locale with the custom-aspect-ratio setting.

  • Arabic language support and improved complex Unicode text rendering via
    HarfBuzz and SheenBidi, with the required font and license files bundled.

  • FrogShell gains an optional Developer Mode with a terminal, command history,
    script and executable launching, and USB keyboard input where supported.
    Hold L1 + R1 + X + Y for about two seconds to toggle it, or create
    frogui/developer.flag on the SD card.

  • FrogShell's on-screen keyboard adds caps, symbols, and modifier keys.

  • The ebook reader combines upstream progress-saving improvements with the
    local fixes for page-turn freezes, hidden progress files, and page fit above
    the status bar. Saves use checked atomic replacement and are deferred until
    navigation settles; the MuPDF cache remains limited to 16 MB.

  • Updated PS1 compatibility reports.

  • Added 117 newly tested PS1 games to the compatibility list.

  • Picoarch now uses portable build paths, restores core logging under /logs,
    reduces log spam, and builds its PNG reader against libpng16.

  • Release builds now compile FrogShell and the ebook reader from source so the
    packages include their latest changes.

Thanks to ozkaoz for the audio fixes and FrogShell
Developer Mode, and
Maheshivara for ebook reader improvements and
Brazilian Portuguese updates,
MartStartIV for the Spanish translation
updates plus the French and Italian translations,
spanscape for Japanese translation updates,
and Trademarked69 for picoarch build and
logging fixes.

This is a prerelease for testing. Copy update.zip to the SD-card root and
reboot, or use the full ZIP and the matching install_first/<device>/ files
for a fresh installation. Keep a backup of your card.
