经过这段时间的子版本更新,RetroArch Android这个安卓平台上的模拟器新星发表了v0.9.8.4,这也是v0.9.8初次发表以来的第12次升级,支持了FC磁碟机游戏(话说本来不支持的咩?)。RetroArch Android在低端设备上表现还不是很好,所以尽快升级你的设备到双核以上把,一味要求作者为速度优化是不现实的。
RetroArch Android有一个地方非常牛,那就是对输入设备的自动适配。像SONY Zi1,JXD S5110还有一堆各种各样的品牌蓝牙手柄,不用做设置直接可玩,人性化哦…
coder已经明确表示马上将会加入ScummVM和MAME的核心,不过麻烦的是RetroArch Android的apk恐怕还要增加30mb,一个60m+的apk谁都会头痛啊。目前这个apk包括了ARMv7/MIPS/x86三个平台,所以小不下来。
话说,解决方案也是有先例的,比如安卓平台的ScummVM,人家就做的很好啊,一个基础平台+N个对应插件,各取所需嘛。最后再啰嗦一句,加入那些android已经比较成熟的模拟器核心是不是有点吃力不讨好啊?赶快把 Mednafen PC-FX放出来吧~~~ Orz Orz Orz
Versions
r12 (Feb 18, 2013)
—————————–
* [NEStopia] Famicom Disk System support. For Android users – put disksys.rom
into the same folder as the FDS ROM you’re trying to load. For everyone else –
put disksys.rom into your system directory.
– Y Button will switch sides of a disk.
– If you get any problems of the sort DISK A / B ERR 07′ – pressing Y button again or letting it run its course should do it.
– NOTE – Famicom Disk System loading is slow, so you might be tempted to fast forward through most of it. However, I’d advise caution when doing so and to savestate regularly in case ‘fast forwarding’ can negatively affect disk loading.
* [FBA core] Various changes/fixes
– Hook up Eco Fighters controls (Turn 1/Turn 2 bound to L and R buttons)
– Hook up Pnickie controls (Turn 1/Turn 2 bound to L and R buttons – press

and Accelerate 2/Accelerate 3 (R1/R2 buttons)

* Input autodetection expanded –
– Xperia Play (now properly tested on an r800i)
– Madcatz PS3 fighting stick
– Moga IME app (previously would work only on rooted devices with gamepad mode)
* Doesn’t extract the assets everytime you go to the menu but only when you first
install the new APK – was causing lots of garbage collector overhead.
* FBA core – fixed a serious bug causing graphic glitches.
* Nestopia core – use mono sound like the real NES.

r7
—
Test that was released on certain forums – never pushed to Play Store.
r6 (Jan 29, 2013)
————————–

– Fixes 50Hz PAL games (were running with sound being too fast and other irregularities before)
– Should fix emu crashing on some devices due to memory mapping issues.
* New system-specific overlays added – on new installs only these new ones will be there and the old bad ones will no longer be there. On pre-existing installs – just use the new ones – they should be much better. If you’re still unsatisfied, nothing is stopping you from editing these files yourself with a text editor and an image editor – it’s really simple to do.
* New ‘custom binding’ when you turn off ‘Configuration Autodetect Enable’ – allows you to manually put in button mapping in case we don’t support your pad. Note – it’s probably more reliable right now to select the ‘keycode’ from the dropdown list instead of pressing the button on the pad.
