A new update for Lime3DS, the reincarnation of the late Citra3DSand popular emulator of the
Nintendo3DS handheld system, has its published.
This new update includes several fixes and improvements, such as fixing a crash caused by IDs of invalid cubemap faces, which influenced games like “Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse” and “Fire Emblem Fates”.
For the desktop version, the automatic detection of the interface language was corrected, which was sometimes incorrectly detected.
All hotkeys now work properly when the secondary window of the “Finstre Separate” layout is selected. The “Report Compatibility” button now connects correctly to the Lime3DS compatibility list repository.
In addition, you can now advance frame by frame when the emulator is paused, thus eliminating the previous mode.
Finally, again for the desktop version, several issues related to the creation and use of game shortcuts on Flatpak have been solved, and the AppImage and Flatpak versions of Lime3DS that can now use Wayland natively.
In the Android version, a new “Play Information” dialogue has been added that replaces the Tricks menu and provides more detailed information about the selected game.
The tricks are now accessible via a dedicated button within this new menu. Added the custom layout feature for Portrait and Landscape versions, which can be configured in the new layout settings tab.
From a technical point of view, several build dependencies have been updated and compile failures on GCC 14.0+ have been adjusted. Removed the remaining code for iOS support, which Lime3DS never supported.
The build goal for MacOS has been updated to MacOS 13 Ventura, with no significant impact for the end user.
Finally, a version of Lime3DS is being prepared for the Google Play Store. When it is available, a link to the Play Store page will be added to the project readme file and an announcement will be made on the Discord server.
In the next update 2118, there will be changes that will require an internal renaming of the entire Lime3DS code, including the names of the cmake options.
Distribution package maintainers should prepare for these changes when the update is active. Open-source projects will become great thanks to the contributions of all developers.
If someone has a problem they can solve, a feature they want to implement, or any other contributions to offer, the Lime3DS team is open to receiving community submissions.
