AbyssME 0.1.0 Beta 2

AbyssME 0.1.0 Beta 2

Beta 2 adds an independently installable Phone variant while keeping the
controller-first Handheld behavior unchanged.

Choose a Build

• AbyssME-0.1.0-beta.2-fdroid-release.apk: landscape-only Handheld build for
  physical controllers, ES-DE, Beacon, and Android gaming devices.
• AbyssME-0.1.0-beta.2-phone-release.apk: Phone build with automatic rotation,
  a compact portrait library, direct MIDP touch input, and an on-screen keypad.

Both variants require Android 10 or newer and can be installed together. They
use independent app data and per-game settings.

Phone Controls

• Virtual numbers, directions, fire, soft keys, and emulator Menu are enabled
  by default for newly installed games.
• Touch input and the virtual keypad can be toggled separately per game.
• Key layout, opacity, colors, haptics, and orientation remain configurable.
• The compatibility test preserves the Phone input settings.

Shared Improvements

• Version and package names now distinguish Handheld and Phone installations.
• The release signing path is resolved consistently from the project root.
• The README and launcher integration guide document both packages.

Verification

• Handheld package: io.github.eriark.abyssme
• Phone package: io.github.eriark.abyssme.phone
• Version code: 102
• Minimum Android: 10 (API 29)
• Target Android: API 34
• Handheld SHA-256: EDEDBB4FB781718635226AADF48CEE12DE041857FF2B63944B6785E1EB748DC6
• Phone SHA-256: C37492B05C36E687AA8FBA38A6D4130CA9AB9DA44B0A791DA95F2E826E4DFD68

Automated unit tests, Android lint, R8/resource shrinking, manifest inspection,
and APK signature verification were run for this release. Physical-device
touch layout and rotation still need a fresh device pass.

AbyssME 0.1.0 Beta 1

AbyssME 0.1.0 Beta 1

This is the first public beta of AbyssME, a controller-first J2ME emulator for
Android gaming handhelds.

Highlights

• Landscape library with Gallery, List, Grid, Recent, Favorites, and Folders
• Automatic compatibility preparation on first launch
• Per-game named controller profiles and in-game quick mapping
• Live View and virtual Screen controls during gameplay
• JAR, JAD, ZIP, and 7Z importing through Android's file picker
• Direct ACTION_VIEW launching from ES-DE, Beacon, and Android frontends
• Automatic icon/cover extraction with generated artwork fallbacks
• Symptom-based Fix game actions with optional expert settings

Installation

Download AbyssME-0.1.0-beta.1-fdroid-release.apk below and install it on
Android 10 or newer. A physical controller and landscape display are strongly
recommended. This package can coexist with upstream J2ME Loader.

Verification

• Package: io.github.eriark.abyssme
• Version code: 101
• Minimum Android: 10 (API 29)
• Target Android: API 34
• SHA-256: 9714DF7D9E7F3F835334A8460A6ECD5F007B90B9507A59D8034DB1C3C274A3D3

Automated unit tests, Android lint, debug assembly, and release assembly passed
for this build. The final beta still needs a fresh hardware pass on Odin 2;
controller focus and compatibility heuristics can vary between games.

Known Limitations

• Phone model and screen-size selection is heuristic and may need Fix game
  for uncommon releases.
• There is no portrait launcher or on-screen virtual keypad.
• Some vendor-specific J2ME APIs remain limited by the upstream core.

Please report issues with the device model, Android version, game filename, and
visible symptom. Do not attach copyrighted commercial game files.
