👉 @mrjschulte 👉 @ToddLa 👉 @ac90b671 👉 @nenge123 👉 @david.nicolson 👉 @davidmuzi 👉 @amoorecodes ### Added - Controllers: - On Screen Joystick Controls for N64 and PSX - APIs for keyboard, mouse, rumble, on-screen joystick. (coming in future release) - Apple TV: Support new Siri remote (MicroGamepad and DirectionalGamepad) - Code Signing is now managed with an XCConfig file. See `CodeSigning.xcconfig.example` for instructions. (Only applies to developers/xcode source installs) - Enumeration type menu options UI - FPS debug label now includes total CPU and Memory usage. - GameBoy Advanced cheat code support - Jaguar options exposed - Long press a ROM for quick access to Core Options - Mednafen - many more sub-core options added - SNESFaust 1 frame render ahead option (on by default. VERY SNAPPY!) - Metal Shaders (CRT, LCD, etc.) - N64: - mupen/gliden/rice options exposed - Dual Shock 4 touchpad as pause - option for Dual Joysticks on DualShock4 as dual controllers (allows Goldeneye dual controller joystick layout from 1 physical dualshock) - Native Metal renderer option [WIP/Buggy] - per-game option overrides - radio selection options - Sega Saturn Mutli-CD support - Swift UI/UIKit optional code paths at app start (SwiftUI currernly empty, for easier development in future) - VirtualBoy side by side mode (for 3D tv's with Side by Side mode. Google Cardboard coming later) - XCode will present a warning message if it detects a device build but CodeSigning.xcconfig isn't setup. - Localizations (Only Partially translated WIP) - NSLocalizedString for most strings in main app source - Chinese Simplified by @nenge123 - Spanish - Russian by @amoorecodes - Dutch by @mrjschulte - Portuguese (Brazil) by Stéfano Santos ### Improved - Mupen: - wrapper code organized, refactored - faster controller polling, various other code speedup tweaks. - mupen llvm optimization flags improved (was incorrectly -O2, now -Os) - On-Screen Controls - N64 layout improved - PSX layout improved - Branch prediction compiler hints for tight loops, possibly faster. - Catalyst: All cores build now for Intel and M1. - check if file exists before attempt to delete, reduces superfluous throws trapping in the debugger - Converted more app code from ObjC to Swift - Dark Mode UI always on, fixes some color issues - Fix some excessive thread blocks - Hide/Show systems chevron location tweaks - If multiple cores support a system, cores are listed in recommended order. - Improved logo/header bar for iOS & tvOS - Jaguar button layout tweaks - Mark various ObjC classes `objc_direct_members`. Should improve Swift to ObjC calls bypassing dynamic dispatch for function pointers (in theory) - Replace all spinlocks with atomic operations for better thread performance - replaced some sloppy force unwraps with proper nil checks and logging - Shaders are copied to Documents at load and read from thereafter. This allows locally editing / developing shaders without rebuilding. ### Fixed - Conflicts better detected - tvOS top buttons sometimes couldn't be selected - Faster compile times (improved header imports, compiler flags) - Fixed some improper retain cycles in ObjC blocks - Fixed rare audio engine nil reference race condition crash - Cheat entry UI fixes ### Updated - N64: - Swap left and right triggers to L:Start R:Z Button from other way around prior - mupen cxd4 plugin to latest upstream version - mupen rsp-hle plugin to latest upstream version - Updated Swift Packages (RxRealm, Realm, Cocoalumberjack) - Improved tvOS UI (top buttons, search, icons, more consistent styling) ### Removed - Removed SteamController support (no one used it and the code caused too many compilations, plus steam controllers are kind of trash, sorry.)

## [2.0.4] - 2021-12-24 ## What's Changed ### Fixed * (Possible) Mupen N64 Core fix for tvOS/iOS by @mrjschulte in https://github.com/Provenance-Emu/Provenance/pull/1651 * Update TVL in crt_fragment.glsl to reduce moirée effects at UHD by @mrjschulte in https://github.com/Provenance-Emu/Provenance/pull/1652 * Remove absolute path to file from .xcodeproj by @davidmuzi in https://github.com/Provenance-Emu/Provenance/pull/1654 * Release/2.0.4 by @JoeMatt in https://github.com/Provenance-Emu/Provenance/pull/1668 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/Provenance-Emu/Provenance/compare/2.0.3...2.0.4
