Fixes issues from 3.1.0a1 - Fixed "Game Info" screen not showing - Fixed JIT'd Flycast was actually JIT-less Flycast. 3.1.0a1 Release Notes # Pre-Release Notes This pre-release includes a major overhaul of iCloud synchronization, significant improvements to the game import process, and various UI/UX refinements and bug fixes. ## ✨ New Features & Major Enhancements * **Overhauled iCloud Synchronization (`bug/ios-icloud-not-syncing` branch focus):** * Vastly improved reliability and performance of iCloud sync for ROMs, save states, BIOS files, and screenshots. * Smarter handling of file downloads, uploads, and conflict resolution. * Optimized database interactions during sync to reduce overhead and prevent crashes (e.g., using game cache, batch processing). * Correctly handles scenarios like initial app load with existing iCloud files, turning iCloud sync on/off, and background file changes. * Improved deletion handling: files deleted from iCloud are now correctly removed locally and from the database, and vice-versa. * Refactored sync logic into dedicated `Syncer` classes for better organization and lifetime management. * Enhanced logging and error reporting for iCloud operations. * **Game Importer Refinements:** * Improved logic for handling multi-disc games (CUE/BIN, M3U) to ensure all associated files are correctly processed before an import is marked complete. * Better error handling for late-arriving files, preventing premature completion of the import queue. * Refactored import logic to defer processing when necessary and to correctly handle paused or busy importer states. * **UI & UX Improvements:** * **Game Info Display:** The "Game Info" option in context menus now correctly presents a detailed, paged view for game information (related to `ConsoleGamesView` and `PagedGameMoreInfoView` refactor). * Refined alert dialogs and confirmation prompts (e.g., when deleting ROMs). * Improved handling of controller inputs, including L3/R3 buttons for older controllers. ## 🐛 Bug Fixes * **iCloud & Sync:** Early support - CloudKit broken, iCloud drive on iOS/iPad OS only. * Fixed numerous crashes and synchronization issues related to Realm database access during iCloud operations. * Resolved pathing issues where iCloud URLs could be duplicated or incorrectly formed. * Addressed bugs related to deleting and then re-adding the same file via iCloud. * Fixed issues with file management when turning iCloud sync off (e.g., removal of iCloud files). * Corrected handling of battery save directory names. * **Importer:** * Fixed an index-out-of-bounds error when multiple items were removed from the import queue. * Addressed issues where the game importer's ROMs path could become incorrect when toggling iCloud. * **General:** * Fixed logic for deleting multi-disc ROMs to handle all associated files. * Resolved potential issues with `PVImageFile` path validation. * Addressed various compilation warnings and minor code issues. ## Cores * JIT and JITless Dreamcast cores * Very early test release. Many known issues. Audio/Video sync speeds wrong. * Sonic Adventure and SA2 sometimes loads, sometimes doesn't. May depend on BIOS versions ## 🛠️ Other Changes * Extensive code refactoring for clarity, reusability, and maintainability (e.g., removing unused code, DRY principles). * Updated project files and build settings (e.g., build variables, minimum deployment target to 16.0). * Improved localization string handling. * Enhanced logging throughout various modules. * Updated to use cache layers more effectively to reduce direct database hits. ---

👉 @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.)
