WiráWirá 0.5.0: Nintendo 64 and portrait mode
What's new
- Nintendo 64: a whole new system to play.
- Portrait mode: play with your phone upright, with the game at the top and the controls below. The library, menus and settings all work upright too.
Nintendo 64
- Sharper 3D: raise the resolution for crisper graphics, for every game or just one. Each step up costs much more to run: 1.5x draws over twice the pixels and 2x four times as many, so many games can no longer run at full speed.
- Analog stick: use your controller's stick, or an on-screen stick that follows your thumb.
- C-Mode: hold a button (R2 by default) and the A, B, X and Y buttons become the C buttons, handy on controllers without a right stick.
- Stick swap: press the right stick to swap the analog stick and the C buttons, so you aim with your right thumb in shooters.
- Rumble: felt through your phone or controller. You can turn it off.
- Saves just work: in-game saves, memory cards and save states.
- Up to four players: each with their own controller, memory card and rumble.
- On-screen controls laid out like the original controller, with coloured buttons.
- Distant floors and walls no longer flicker.
- European games run at their proper speed.
Pause menu
- Redesigned: slides up from the bottom in portrait so your game stays in view, and sits at the side in landscape.
- Save states with pictures: every slot shows a screenshot and when you saved. You're asked before saving over one.
- Fast-forward that's really faster: pick 1x, 2x or 3x directly. 3x is off where the device can't keep up (SNES, Mega Drive, GBA, Neo Geo Pocket), and N64 always runs at normal speed.
On-screen controls
- Analog stick option: swap the D-pad for a stick in the layout editor.
- Diagonals: press between two arrows to go diagonally.
- Vibration: a short buzz on each press. You can turn it off for all games or just one.
- Undo in the layout editor, one step at a time.
- Pause button: replaces the edge swipe, which was easy to trigger by accident.
- Buttons stay clear of the camera cutout.
Library
- Bigger game covers in portrait.
- SNES and N64 boxes show their full spine in 3D.
FPS counter
- Colour-coded: green at full speed, yellow when the device is close to its limit, red when the game is running slow.
- Turn it on or off from Quick Settings while you play.
App
- New icon: a low-poly bird.
- Keep your saves safe: on first launch, choose a folder for your data so it survives reinstalling the app.
- Smoother video on Android.
- Every screen stays clear of the camera cutout.
Installing
