SameBoy v0.16.3
This version is backwards compatible with save states from SameBoy 0.14.3 and newer, as well as save states from any BESS compliant emulator
New/Improved Features
- The “Hot Swap Cartridge” functionality now allows hot swapping a file with a newer version of itself in the Cocoa version
- This can also be done with the new “Reload ROM” menu item, available while holding Shift in the Emulation menu
- The SDL frontend now uses the modern folder selection dialog when selecting a boot ROMs folder on Windows
- Add an option to allow pressing A+B by touching the space between the two buttons in the iOS frontend
- The iOS frontend can now choose between 3 audio modes; Enabled, Disabled, and Controlled by Silent Mode
- The iOS IPA release is now ad-hoc signed to prevent TrollStore from signing it with the wrong entitlements
- The iOS Deb release is now compatible with both rootful and rootless jailbreaks
Accuracy Improvements/Fixes
- Updated the built-in SGB boot ROMs so they're closer in timing to the original boot ROMs
Bug Fixes
- The Cocoa and iOS versions now display the correct license for SameBoy
- Improved compatibility with certain ISX files
- Fixed the States screen displaying incorrectly in iOS 16 and newer
- Fixed several spelling mistakes in the debugger
- Fixed visual artifacts that may appear in certain scaling filters when scaling with a multiple of 3 factor
- Prevent filtered screenshots from using 64-bit color depth on the Cocoa frontend, which improves compatibility with certain apps
- The
ticks
debugger command no longer outputs “Tick count reset” if the keep flag was used - Fixed a bug that prevented Turbo Mode from working on iOS if dynamic speed controls were not enabled
Misc Internal Changes
- Improved integration with libretro's build infrastructure, which should greatly improve the release schedule of the libretro version of SameBoy
