[Android] ColEm 5.5.2 Released

[fms]

Hello, All!

I've just published ColEm 5.5.2 for Android, a new version of my ColecoVision and Coleco Adam emulator:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.colem -- free version

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.colem.deluxe -- full version

https://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/ -- homepage

This release fixes handling of the 5th sprite flag in the TMS9918 VDP, so that recently ported Uridium game works without glitches. I have also fixed compatibility with Android 4.2, File Selector UI on newer AndroidTV devices, and opening Coleco files from other apps. Finally, I enabled adding home screen shortcuts on newer Android devices. See below for all the changes.

ALL CHANGES:

* ColEm Deluxe is on $2.99 sale this week.

* Based on the latest ColEm 5.5 sources.

* Made VDP compute 5th sprite status even when not drawing a screen.
* The recent Uridium port to ColecoVision works now.
* Fixed compatibility with Android 4.2/4.3.
* Fixed file selection UI on newer AndroidTV devices.
* Fixed opening files from File Managers and other apps.
* Enabled adding home screen shortcuts on newer devices.
* Fixed leaked dialog window on app exit.
* Added rounded corners to legacy icons.

PS: ColEm Deluxe, the complete version of ColEm, is on $2.99 sale at Google Play until next Tuesday:

Enjoy!

Hi,

Not sure when it happened , but it is no longer possible to launch Coleco games directly from Digdroid frontend.  Every time I try to launch a game through Dig , only Kevtris loads. I reverted back to an old (4.7) version I had lying around somewhere and it is working properly in this version.  Any fix to this ? I am using the latest 5.5.2 Colem Deluxe version.

Thanks.

I have tested ColEm with a few standard apps, such as Google's and Samsung's stock file managers, and it launching games just fine. So, that must be an issue with Digdroid. I suggest you contact Digdroid app developers about it.
