Hello everyone! It's been a long time since the last update. I could not work on JoiPlay as much as before due to some work related issues so it took a lot longer to post an update. This update brings some new features alongside a few bug fixes and new versioned Ren'Py plugins.
External controllers were not working properly with JoiPlay before this update. D-pads and analog sticks wasn't working on most controllers. This update should fix most controller issues and any controller with switch, x-input, d-input or android modes should work without any issues.
Recently some compatibility issues are surfaced with Ren'Py games due to backward incompatible changes on new Ren'Py versions and making Ren'Py Plugin compatible with older games became a lot harder and time consuming. To improve compatibility with older Ren'Py versions and make it easier to keep up with new Ren'Py versions, Ren'Py Plugin is now seperated into multiple plugins with different Ren'Py versions.
Plugin manager is added to app menu. JoiPlay and plugins can be installed, updated and uninstalled using plugin manager. It should make it easier to find new plugins and keep up with the latest versions.
All online services were discontinued because of lack of users and server issues. With this update, game catalog option is added to app menu. Other online services will be added later.
Other changes includes better plugin handling for RPG Maker MV/MZ games, improved system compatibility with Android 12 and upper, better Ren'Py version detection, updated Ruffle core and more.
Plugins comes with new package names so they will be installed as new apps. Old plugins can be safely uninstalled after installation of new plugins. All plugins can be directly installed from JoiPlay. For a minimal setup, installing Ren'Py 8.2.1 and Ren'Py 7.7.1 plugins should be enough for Ren'Py games. All Ren'Py plugins can be installed for maximum compatibility. Plugins won't take place on app drawer and needed plugin will be automatically selected by JoiPlay when a Ren'Py game is launched.
