    Hello, All!

     
    I've released ColEm 5.6.1 for Android, an update to my ColecoVision and Coleco Adam emulator:
     
     
    This release adds spinner controllers emulation, used in such games as Destructor. These spinners can be "spun" by touching the screen. Each of the two spinners can be simulated with either horizontal or vertical screen coordinate, with the screen center being neutral position.
     
    As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning ColEm from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder: 
     
    ALL CHANGES:

    * Added "Settings | Hardware | Spinner #X" config options.
    * Enabled spinners emulation by touching the screen.
    * Fixed vertical coordinate processing by spinners.

     
    ColEm Deluxe, the complete version of ColEm, is on $2.99 sale at Google Play this week:

    Hello, All!

     
    I have published VGBAnext 6.4.5, a new version of my universal GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, NES, and Famicom emulator for Android:

    As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning VGBAnext from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder:
     
    ALL CHANGES:
    * Fixed saving in-game states stored in .SAV files.
    * Using latest VGBA 6.4 source code.

    Hello, All!

     
    I've just published ColEm 5.6 for Android, a new version of my ColecoVision and Coleco Adam emulator:
     
     
    This release is based on the ColEm 5.6 sources, released earlier this month. It will automatically switch between ColecoVision and Adam modes depending on the ROM being loaded. I have also improved File Selector scrolling performance on newer Android devices, by not checking for all auxiliary files.
     
    As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning ColEm from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder: 
     
    ALL CHANGES:

    * Based on the latest ColEm 5.6 sources.
    * Now switching between ColecoVision and Adam modes when loading ROMs.
    * Disabled querying content providers for auxiliary files to improve performance.
    * Scrolling in File Selector has become much more responsive.

    Hello, All!

     
    I have published VGBAnext 6.4.4, a new version of my universal GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, NES, and Famicom emulator for Android:
     

     

    This release is based on the latest VGBA, iNES, and VGB source code. In order to make File Selector scrolling more responsive, I no longer check for auxiliary files (such as save files, palettes, or cheats) when browsing content URIs. This makes File Selector much faster on Android 10+ devices, where the app cannot access file system directly.

     
    As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning VGBAnext from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder:
     
    ALL CHANGES:
    * Disabled querying content providers for auxiliary files to improve performance.
    * Scrolling in File Selector has become much more responsive.
    * Using latest VGBA 6.3 source code.
    * Using latest iNES 6.0 source code.
    * Using latest VGB 5.9 source code.
     
    Have fun!

    ALL CHANGES:
    * Refactored Windows EMULib code.
    * Most command line options should now work in Windows version.
    * Added "Video | Show Framerate" menu option to VGB-Windows.
    * Increased synchronization timer precision in Windows version.

    I don't know if it is just me but I can not get any sound to come out unless I run this with Admin privileges.

    Must be a local configuration problem, since I would see more reports like this over the years. The app does not do anything special with the sound: it uses Win32 waveOut API.

    Hello, All!

     
    I have released VGBAnext 6.4.2, a new version of my universal GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, NES, and Famicom emulator for Android:
     

     

    Since Google no longer allows apps to access file system on Android10+ devices, the new VGBAnext will access files via "Secure Access Framework" on these devices. You may have to give the app permission to access your storage. Please, report any found problems to the support group or email me directly about them:

     
     
    As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning VGBAnext from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder:
     
    ALL CHANGES:
    * The app is on $2.99 sale at Google Play this week.
    * Refactored app to comply with Google's latest ban on file I/O.
    * On Android 10+, all file access is now done via content providers.
    * Content is copied to a temporary folder for use, changes moved back on exit.
    * You may have to give app separate permission to read each storage location.
    * Fixed several crash sources that popped up after refactoring.
    * Fixed handling of spaces and parentheses in "content://" URIs.
    * Fixed list of volumes in "Change Folder" dialog.
    * Fixed "Change Folder" functionality.
     

    Have fun!

    Hello, All!

     
    I've published iNES 5.9.1 for Android, a new version of my NES, Famicom, DiskSystem, and VS-System emulator:
     

    https://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/iNES-Android.apk -- outside Google Play
    https://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/ -- homepage

     
    Starting this November, Google no longer allows Android apps to access files on Android10+ devices, outside app's sandbox. All storage access is now supposed to be done via something called "Storage Access Framework".
     
    I had to make major changes to iNES in order to comply with the new regulations. If you have a newer Android10+, you will see the list of storage volumes in the File Selector. Once you click on a volume, the app may ask you for permission to access it. Otherwise, things should work the same as before. If you find any new problems with the app though, please, report them to the support group or email me directly. See below for all the changes.
     
    ALL CHANGES:
    * Refactored app to comply with Google's latest ban on file I/O.
    * On Android 10+, all file access is now done via content providers.
    * Content is copied to a temporary folder for use, changes moved back on exit.

    Hello, All!

     
    I have released ColEm 5.4 for Android, a new version of my ColecoVision and Coleco Adam emulator:
     
     
    This release is based on the latest Windows/Linux version published earlier this week. It adds a simple CPU-based linear interpolation scaler, used when GPU-based scaling is disabled or unfeasible. As you remember, I had to disable cheat features to avoid Google staff banning ColEm from the store. You can easily reenable cheats though by downloading this file to your Downloads folder: 
     
    ALL CHANGES:
    * Based on the latest ColEm 5.4 sources.
    * Added CPU-based simple linear interpolation algorithm.
    * ColEm Deluxe is on $2.99 sale at Google Play this week.
