What's New in GammaWave
2.5.0
August 11, 2026
Play with a real controller, accurate colours the way the hardware shows them, and keep your saves safe wherever they travel. CONTROLLER SUPPORT - Connect an Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro or MFi controller and play. Nothing to set up: your gamepad is recognised and laid out correctly on the first press - Remap any button, per system. - Bind hotkeys for save state, load state, fast forward and the pause menu, and reach them without touching the screen - The left stick moves your character on consoles that never had one, working alongside the d-pad rather than replacing it - Tune the dead zone and sensitivity per pad, and your bindings come back automatically when that controller reconnects TRUER COLOURS, FASTER BOOTS - Console colours now match the original hardware instead being oversaturated. If you liked the warmer, deeper look, it is still there as Deep Black Boost in Settings - NDS & N64 Optimized: - NDS games boot dramatically faster and no longer stall on startup - N64 save states load without freezing the game MORE CHEAT CODES FOR NINTENDO 64 N64 cheats now work, and the built-in database brings 177,000 codes covering 655 games. YOUR LIBRARY - A Recently Played shelf at the top, so the game you were in the middle of is one tap away - Each console gets its own list, making a large collection easy to move through - Controller skins can now use JPEG XL artwork, for sharper art at a smaller size SAVE FILES - Importing a save file now works on SNES, NES and N64 consoles. The save was being written and then immediately overwritten, so nothing appeared to happen. - Exporting a save now tells you what happened, including when there is no save to export yet.
