Grinding small bug fixes I notice while Christmas is still hot.
This update focuses on game feel and precision.
Precision Control Overhaul
- Input Hysteresis: Implemented a dual-threshold system for the D-pad. Inputs are now sticky and wont unpress from a thumb slip.
- True 8-Way Support: Switched to axis-independent logic. You can now reliably hold diagonals for tight movement.
- Deadzone Tuning: Optimized the deadzone (10px) to prevent jitter.
UI Polish
- "Jiggle Mode": can now Long-Press any cartridge to enter "Wiggle Mode" for deletion, matching native iOS behavior.
- Library Sorting: Fixed the "Recently Played" sort order. Games now correctly bump to the top of the list when launched.
- Visual Feedback: The virtual controller now visually highlights multiple directions simultaneously to match your input state.
