Warning
Netplay is a major new feature. It needs heavy testing in real conditions before we promote it to stable. If you hit a bug, please include:
- Platform (e.g. SNES, Genesis)
- Core (e.g. snes9x, genesis_plus_gx)
- Summary of the flow up to the bug — what you clicked, what you saw, and where it broke down
Screen recordings are gold. Filtered logcat (adb logcat -d | grep -E "Netplay|argosy") helps on most app-level issues; a full adb bugreport zip is worth sending if the problem involves thermal, suspend, or OS-level weirdness.
New Features
- Netplay — 2-player rollback P2P on NES, SNES, Genesis/Mega Drive (and siblings), Atari 2600, PC Engine/TG16, and arcade. Join directly from your friends list; cores auto-download and a guided flow prompts you to pick or download a matching ROM when needed. Open Lobby / First-Come / Invite-Only modes.
- Steam install path picker — choose which removable volume holds GameNative installs.
- Daily core-update check on startup.
Improvements
- Android TV support.
- External emulator session time survives suspend and quick app-switches.
- 3DO: restored more of the top of the screen.
- Core Management: platforms now sort consistently with the rest of the app.
Bug Fixes
- Samsung S26 Ultra: downloads no longer stall at 0%.
- Dual-screen: respects the preference toggle; launch feedback and emulator-exit detection now work on the secondary display.
- Steam no longer leaves a lingering "Connection…" notification when idle.
