    Android Nintendo Switch emulator "Skyline" renders its first commercial game!

    Posted: 29 Dec 2021 06:16 PM PST

    Sonic Mania - Starting Screen with on-screen controls

    On the 29th of December, Skyline rendered its first commercial game Sonic Mania. Using several temporary hacks, this particular game can now be played on a currently private development build.

    Once the hacks are no longer required and things are properly implemented, the build will be able to be found on the Skyline Github.

    Screenshots:

    The very first screenshot shared, a doubling issue is visible

    ​

    A quick hack was added to fix the issue

    FPS values are not representative of final performance due to many hacks and unfinished things

    Other games are very unlikely to work. If you would like to follow along with development, join the Skyline Emulator Discord

    What were some of the niche smartphone features which were your favorite?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2021 11:28 AM PST

    For me the following,

    1) active edge from pixel 3

    2) dual front cameras on pixel 3

    3) OIS in front camera from htc 10.

    4) speaker phone and earphone both gets active when you used speaker mode during call on S10.

    5) headphone jacks.

    Discussion: What's your opinion on folders in app drawers?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2021 11:05 PM PST

    I understand the main intention of the android app drawer is to have all of your apps in one place arranged in an alphabetical order and shortcuts of the most used ones on the home screen.

    But with the increasing number of apps for everyday use, IMO folders in the app drawer is a good way to declutter the experience. Samsung does this and Android launchers such as Smart Launcher 5, Nova launcher, microsoft launcher etc does this. Even Apple does something similar with the app library, I think.

    If you like no folders in app drawers, that's good. No problem. I just think the option to have folders would be nice, since that is one of the core pillars of Android: Options.

    Nice little feature

    Posted: 28 Dec 2021 08:08 PM PST

    I'm running Android 12 on a Google pixel, so I'm not sure if this is strictly Android or Google but, when you move the brightness bar it changes along with it. At the lowest the center is empty, at middle it's half, and close to full it's full. Just a cute little feature I kept noticing, idk if it's a known thing.

    AetherSX2 (PS2 Android emulator) Patreon Launch

    Posted: 28 Dec 2021 04:32 AM PST

    After about a month of public/open testing and many requests from users on how you can support us, we're opening this Patreon to fundraise devices and hosting. The most important part is in the next paragraph.

    The app will remain free, there is no plans to change that. There will be no early access, supporters will have the exact same builds as everyone else. We feel that it's unfair for those who can afford to support projects to get features ahead of others, so that's something that we will never do. Please do not feel like you have any obligation to support us monetarily, we would rather you keep your money if you need it for yourself. The only reason we're opening it is to fundraise additional development devices. If you do choose to support us, please read the last two paragraphs.

    Many of you have expressed concerns about the performance of the app on Mali devices. Unfortunately, we do not own any Mali Android devices, so that makes it very difficult to investigate issues and find potential performance improvements. We've spent almost $1000 out of our own pockets on devices for this app in the last few months, and cannot afford to spend any more, since the app is free and has no ads.

    That's where this Patreon comes in. If we can raise enough money, we can purchase additional devices which we can use to fix these bugs, and hopefully improve performance. Currently, we are looking at a Pixel 6, as there are still rendering issues with the newer Mali drivers that we cannot fix without being able to debug on-device, and they are reasonably affordable.

    We also would like to use this Patreon to fund web hosting for the project. That way we can post both alpha and beta testing APK builds for those who cannot access the Google Play Store. Web hosting is approximately $20 for a year, so this is likely a reachable goal.

    We have no interest in making any profit outside of the cost of development devices, so if and when enough is raised, we will likely temporarily close the Patreon. There's no support tiers, you can pledge what you like.

    If you choose to support us, please be aware that Patreon is a monthly contribution. If you want to make a once-off contribution, we would suggest pledging and then immediately cancelling. If you want to contribute monthly, we would suggest waiting until after January 1st, so you're not billed now and again in a week's time.

    A final note: please do not pledge if you think that gives you the right to request features or game fixes. This is effectively a donation, not a purchase. Our development plan will remain the same. We may conduct polls here to decide which features to work on, but we still have a to-do list which is way too long from launch to be taking user requests right now.
