Open Nectar 1.0.8
Fixes for display, controllers, crashes and Pikmin 2 sound reported since
1.0.7. Saves, settings and texture packs carry over.
Updating: press Update in your launcher. On Android, install the new
APK over the old one.
Pikmin 1: display (Windows)
- VSync now really stops screen tearing (#144). With Frame Sync (VSync)
On, the 30 FPS and 60 FPS modes only limited the frame rate with a timer
and never waited for the monitor, so the picture tore. They now wait for
the screen's refresh like the Monitor FPS mode. - Fixed a thin coloured line at the bottom of the screen (#144) at
resolutions where the GameCube picture does not scale by a whole number
(for example 1920×1200). Some screen areas were rounded to one pixel short.
Both games
- Exit option in the title menu. Both games can now be closed to the
desktop from the main menu, without Alt+F4. - Remapped triggers no longer press both L and R when they were swapped
or assigned to another action. - Android: the controller you press first becomes Player 1. Some phones
list a virtual device before the real controller, which then did nothing.
Pikmin 1: fixes
- Skipping an Onion discovery scene no longer leaves the Onion without its
first seed. - The launcher checks that the game files needed at start-up are all present
and offers to repair an incomplete installation, instead of the game
stopping with an error (#151).
Pikmin 2: crashes
- Fixed a crash when breaking the last segment of a gate (#153).
- Fixed a crash when changing area with frame interpolation on (#150).
- Android crash reports can now name where the game stopped even when the
call stack cannot be read.
Pikmin 2: sound
- Fixed silent sound effects stored in the GameCube's 2-bit audio format.
- Sound works on Windows devices that only accept 48 kHz, and comes back
after a headset or audio device is unplugged instead of staying silent. - Loud scenes with many effects no longer distort.
- The Mono sound option is remembered instead of returning to Stereo on
every launch.
Pikmin 2: other fixes
- Fixed stale screen captures and missing cut-out details in some scenes,
boss music in the Randomizer, spray absorption and some menu wording.
