Apple2ix (A2IX) 2.1.0-RC2 for Android
The major change here is that I now provide full 64bit native builds for arm64-v8a and x86_64 devices. (This is a new G00G requirement for publishing on the Play Store). It frankly isn't something that I would have wanted to foist upon you, dear user! But they are forcing my hand, so ... c'est la vie!
Anecdotally, I have heard about certain devices that claim to be arm64-v8a, but which DO NOT run 64bit code efficiently. These devices would have been better off continuing to run the armeabi-v7a build of A2IX. But there's nothing I can do about this, since the Play Store serves the specific build it thinks best. So if you are one of the unlucky owners of such a device and A2IX seems horrendously sluggish, (and if you're an adventurous power-user), you could side-load the armeabi-v7a semi-official release from the GitHub project page ;)
MENU INTERFACE:
- Migrated menu system to newer-ish Dark Holo theme
- Moved some preferences around a bit for clarity
TOUCH KEYBOARD:
- New preference for dual-thumb touch keyboard handling
- More alternate keyboard presets for old-school RPGs
- Tapping Open/Closed-Apple keys now generate joystick button events
TOUCH JOYSTICKS:
- Keypad Joystick: Improved emulation fidelity for the keyboard auto-repeat circuitry, tied to the emulated video refresh. (In plain English: improved twitch-response ;)
- Keypad Joystick: Full left and right side rosette key configurations (18 total configurable keys)
- Keypad Joystick: More presets for popular games (L0de Runner, R0b0tr0n 2084, ...)
- Keypad+Joystick: Improved calibration mode showing axis/key values
- Keypad+Joystick: Button/key switch threshold now configurable down to zero minimum (improves twitch-reponse)
- Joystick: Can now configure button to fire on left/right swipe (instead of just tap and swipe up/down)
