Beta 5 - DSU, new UIPre-release
September 14, 2025 • 77.0 MB
What's new
Full Changelog: https://github.com/Provenance-Emu/dolphin-ios-jitless/commits/4.1.0beta5
DolphiniOS 4.1.0 beta 5 (iOS & tvOS)
�� What's new
- Stunning GameCube/Wii theming ✨
- Authentic game case covers with system-specific gradients (purple for GameCube, blue for Wii)
- Realistic case reflections, spines, and Nintendo branding details
- Award-winning focus glow effects with cyan/purple gradients on tvOS
- Enhanced visual depth with shadows, highlights, and premium feel
- "GameCube Gradient" background option in library settings
Smarter controller setup
- Clean, programmatic mapping UI on tvOS (no more storyboard crashes)
- Friendly device names + auto-profile loading that actually works
- Quick controller assignment from the pause menu
- One-tap layout switching between Apple, GameCube, and Wii variants
Touch controls that feel right
- Optional high-contrast touchpad overlay with proper multi-touch
- Motion sensitivity (gain), deadzone, smoothing: dial it in your way
- Better visual feedback and cleaner UI while playing
�� DSU Controller Features (Cross-Platform Gaming)
- Complete DSU implementation - Turn your iOS device into a wireless controller for tvOS/PC
- Multiple controller layouts - Apple Virtual, GameCube, Wii Remote, Classic, and Sideways
- Smart motion controls - Choose between Gyro, Follow, or Drag for IR pointer
- Flexible input routing - Map motion to Wiimote or Nunchuk, toggle Raw vs Telemetry
- Real-time status HUD - See connection status, TX/RX counters, and client info
- Targeted sending - Choose specific receivers or broadcast to all
- Touch area overlay - Visual touchpad for precise cursor control
- Tooltip system - Learn what each button does with helpful hints
- Apple Virtual Controller - Native iOS touch controls with D-Pad/Stick toggle
🖥️ tvOS Love
- Full-screen pause menu - Auto-shows when app backgrounds, respects your flow
- No keyboard nonsense - Mapping and settings built for the remote/controller
- Clean visuals - Less clutter, more play
- Enhanced focus effects - Beautiful cyan/purple glow animations
🎨 Visual Polish
- Enhanced fonts - Rounded system fonts with iOS 16+ compatibility
- Smooth animations - EaseInOut transitions and haptic feedback
- Better contrast - High-contrast touchpad overlay option
- Premium feel - Inner highlights, shadows, and depth effects
⚙️ Quality-of-life upgrades
- Shader list search - Find what you need without scrolling
- Quick graphics controls - Right from in-game overlays
- Smarter defaults - iOS as controller, tvOS as console
- Better discovery - Devices show up where you expect them
- Motion customization - Fine-tune sticks with soft snap-to-center
�� Known issues (beta)
- DSU IR cursor - Still inconsistent in some setups (especially with mixed gyro/touch inputs). If your cursor drifts or "fights" you:
- Try turning off "Send Gyro/Accel" and "Map IR to Touch" for pure touch cursor
- Switch Touch IR Mode between Gyro / Follow / Drag to see what your game prefers
- Re-enter the controller view to reset motion and cursor state
🚀 Stability & performance
- Fewer random crashes (threading and discovery hardened)
- Snappier input round-trip and more reliable reconnects
- Touch and motion won't step on each other anymore
�� Pro tips
- Want pure touch cursor? Turn off "Send Gyro/Accel" and "Map IR to Touch"
- Motion too twitchy? Lower Gyro Gain in Motion Settings
- Swapping layouts a lot? Use the toolbar Layout button in-game
- Love the GameCube vibe? Try "GameCube Gradient" in library background settings
🙏 Thanks
Huge shout-out to everyone stress-testing, filing clips, and pushing for better UX. Keep the feedback coming—this build is for you.
