v1.3.0: Windows builder improvements, native iPhone and iPad navigation, and Japanese / Windows 构建器优化、iPhone 和 iPad 原生导航与日语支持
English
Highlights
iPhone and iPad app
- The app has native navigation (#787).
- The library layout adapts to iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo (#787).
- A touch controls editor is included (#695, #622, #787).
- The Duo outer landscape accepts custom control bounds (#809, #787).
New
- Experimental builder is off by default: The setting is in Settings, Build tools, "Use experimental builder". It stays off until you turn it on, and the launcher builds with the NSP script as before. The app bundles
nxb 0.9.3of nxkit, the new name of nxbuild (#902, #921, #976). - Engine pin: The engine is pinned to
c78d7375(#861, #902, #976). - Japanese: The launcher and the iPhone and iPad shell now speak Japanese, by @Haseenesss (#718, #866).
- Native iPhone and iPad app: The app has native navigation and adaptive library layouts, with a touch controls editor, by @jonochocki (#695, #622, #787).
- Cleaner TV play: The settings gear hides during TV play with a controller. The Duo outer landscape accepts custom control bounds (#809, #787).
- Game titles as Mac app names: A compiled Mac game gets its game title as the app name, and a rebuild can rename an old numeric app. If a Dock item, alias or shortcut stops opening the game, recreate it from the renamed app. Saves and launch options stay, by @thehobbit85 (#404, #846).
- Multi-game cartridges: Choose which game to build, on the Mac and in the Qt launcher, by @thehobbit85 (#376, #821, #845).
- Library search: Find games in the Mac library by title or with Command-F, by @thehobbit85 (#824).
- Change artwork: It opens a panel to pick and frame the hero and the thumbnail, by @Koshindai (#798).
- Faster builds: A build reuses the other platform's
romfs.imginstead of extracting it again, by @Haseenesss (#708, #790). - iPhone game data notice: The launcher says when the iPhone game data changed since the last copy, by @thehobbit85 (#261, #819).
- Open on device: Available for a library game that also plays on the Mac, by @thehobbit85 (#844).
- Progress display: Progress shows in the Update button and during the Pipeline archive stage (#833, #835).
- Windows shared mode: It builds
DmGame.frameworkand exportsNX2Apple.ipa(#850). - Windows extractor bundled: A build needs no NuGet restore, by @thehobbit85 (#815).
Fixed
- Little Nightmares II: The game now reads its encrypted legacy Unreal pak, by @Haseenesss (#877, #893).
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses: The shader split for v327680 is fixed, by @thehobbit85 (#788, #843).
- CPU BC textures: Uploads and views are fixed, by @class-undefined (#888).
- Switch 2 dumps: Nested folders are now handled (#859).
- Translocated launcher copy: It now updates where it was started from, by @Haseenesss (#873, #881).
- Shared shell and Windows build: The signature expiry is fixed. On Windows, the
metal.exechoice, the SDK download and Metal outputs in non-ASCII folders are fixed (#842, #891). - Windows symbol check: Windows checks the symbols the shell really loads, by @Stellarznith (#882).
- Italian controller texts: They are reviewed, by @Dino0005 (#890).
- Mac launcher: Several smaller fixes, by @thehobbit85 (#848, #852, #853, #857).
- Mac setup without keys: Setup no longer needs
prod.keysfor decrypted Switch 2 game folders and NUP files (Continue without keys), by @thehobbit85 (#696, #822). - Bundled Qt launcher: It no longer updates unrelated checkouts, by @thehobbit85 (#847).
- nxb builds: Games that nxb builds for the shared iPhone and iPad app install again.
nxb 0.9.3no longer stops at the rewrite when an engine file differs from a pinned hash, by @STRML (#912, #916, #921, #942, #976, nxkit#11, nxkit#18). - Mesh draws on Apple GPUs: Draws with no task shader are split into grids of at most 1024 (#925).
- Re-signing the shared app: It refreshes the shell project links and regenerates
DmShell.xcodeprojafter a game is deleted (#915, #978). - Windows launcher: It packs the RomFS into a single
romfs.imgarchive and stages multi-file inputs cleanly. It normalizes the RomFS identity to LF and allows Unreal games with Zlib or LZ4 inline shaders. It also fixes the LLVM-MinGW download lookup, the post-download unpack crash and the Python installer repair fallback, and keeps long setup progress rows from clipping (#917, #930, #932, #956, #974, #979).
