Sometimes the menu button doesn't work, only the back button opens the menu then. The frameskip function is nearly useless, it makes the games run extremely choppy, it never was with 0.10.15, it worked well. Also sometimes the settings are not beeing saved at all, I can't explain why. Creating shortcuts works, but the game doesn't load. Also the structure of the settings is quite, messy. Why do I have to set frameskip in the video menu and then, have to set the max frameskip in the misc menu?
I love FPse, but I'll go on using 0.10.15.
frameskip (I think I cut this out from the quote) - frameskip works fine, in my eqperience. I admit I didnn't see it in version 10.15. the more frames it skips, the more stuttery it is. the less skipped, the smoother it is. there's no way to make it NOT stuttery if it's skipping frames - though if implemented will it won't be too dramatic (depending on how many frames get dropped).
force close - with all the issues I've had with FPSE, force close was not one of them. The only time I've had force close was when using the wrong version of opengl from sd card with new version. If you're getting force close - something truly is wrong, But I don't think it's specific to fpse. were there other complains with the new version about force closes? game freezes, slowdowns, buttons not working - if there were force closes I missed them.
settings not being saved - it is a known configuration requirement that mant settings require you to restart fpse for them to take effect.
shortcuts - I don't have a lot of experience with shortcuts. I've used one or two, but haven't had any issues. they work well actually - but I've not done much testing with them in 11.29, I only used them in 11.29.
menu settings - I agree. Very messy. I've talked to schtruck about that myself. The best option would be normal android menus. I assume he didn't use those becuase they caused a problem with the emulator, and hence he used 'pop-up' menus that sat on-top of the emulation. One of the things I mentioned was the ability to use an 'advanced' setting in the menus. enabling 'advanced' would turn on a bunch of stuff people don't normally need. however that's tricky - what should be put in 'advanced'?
'going back to 10.15' - I respect the desire to use what works for you. I would use what worked for me. Still, putting a comment like that in the main forum seems like a slap in the face to the developer. Not only do I respect the amount of work schtruck has done - I also think he does a great job and FPSE is very well done.
The issues schtruck is fighting is the EXACT issue of ipad vs android. android is open, with different vendors, different OS version, different OS implementations with the same OS version, and different hardware. How the crap does a developer get their code to work with all the variables? Ipad = 1 OS platform, 1 piece of hardware. I like android. I respect the difficulties inherit in getting applications to work though.
