Wirá 0.5.7

New systems

Atari 2600: cartridges play, from 2K games to 256K bank-switched ones, including Pitfall II, Supercharger games and multicarts. Wirá picks the cartridge type itself; if a game looks wrong, choose another under Cartridge in the pause menu's Quick Settings. ARM games (DPC+, CDF, BUS) aren't supported yet.
Every 2600 controller: joystick, paddles, driving controller, keypad, Booster Grip, Genesis pad, light gun, SaveKey and AtariVox, chosen per game under Controller in the pause menu. Keypad games get an on-screen keypad on touch screens.
NTSC, PAL and SECAM games run at their own speed and colours. Games that flicker to show more objects are blended, the way a TV's glow smoothed them out.

Clock and battery: a new widget (Add widget) shows the time, the date and the battery level.
Drag to arrange: while editing the home screen, drag a widget to move it, into the other column too. The Other column button does the same without dragging, for gamepads.
Recent apps first: apps you opened from the drawer come first next time. The app list is ready before you open the drawer, and in its search box, Enter opens the first match.
Pressing Home closes the app drawer, and pressing Home during a game started from the home screen now opens the pause menu instead of leaving the game.
Follow Wirá on X: the Community links widget and Help & about have a link to x.com/wiraemulator.

Fewer slowdowns: over 100 games now get the CPU time they need, so they no longer play in slow motion: among them Donkey Kong 64, Paper Mario, Super Smash Bros., Mario Party 1-3, Pokémon Snap, Resident Evil 2, Fighting Force and Body Harvest. A few, like Pilotwings 64, Beetle Adventure Racing and Wave Race 64 Shindou Edition, no longer run too fast.
Detail textures: games that layer a detail or sharpen texture over their surfaces now blend it in correctly.
Internal resolution is now 1x or 2x. If you had picked 1.5x, the game goes back to 1x.
