RimDroid 0.2.2 (beta)
💡 For the best fps performance, we recommend a fresh install this time (uninstall the previous version first) — updating in place should still work, but a clean install avoids leftover files from older versions.
⚠️ RimDroid is a beta and under active development. Things will break, devices differ wildly, and not everything works everywhere yet. We're improving it release by release.
💛 Thank you to all testers!
🆕 What's new
Main features
✅ Fixed cropped screen on cutout devices — the game window could be squeezed inside the camera-cutout safe area on some phones, clipping the picture on both sides. Now the game always claims the full screen.
✅ New option: mirrored landscape — for gamepad cradles that hold the phone in the opposite orientation. Still a single fixed orientation, just flipped 180°. Per-instance toggle in Settings.
✅ Fixed some GOG repacks failing to load — a few community repacks were missing some game files; the installer now detects and reports this instead of silently producing a broken install.
✅ Stock Harmony now works — mods using recent Harmony versions (2.3+) previously failed to patch anything under emulation. Fixed at the root; you no longer need a special downgraded Harmony build for mods to work.
✅ Performance improvements — a batch of fixes under the hood (emulator stability, library handling) that should give a noticeable FPS boost for a lot of devices, especially non-Adreno GPUs.
⚠️ Note: if your instance has "Compatibility mode" turned on in Settings, try turning it off on this version — it exists as a fallback for devices that couldn't launch the game otherwise, but it caps the game to a single CPU core and roughly halves your frame rate. If your game already launches fine, you don't need it.
Also in the app:
CJK fonts (Chinese / Japanese / Korean) - special RimDroidCJK mod.

⚠️ Reminder
Rimdroid is only a launcher.
To run the game, you still need the actual game files (Linux version), which you must obtain yourself - for example, by purchasing the game on Steam/GOG.
