Hi everyone!
I'm happy to announce that ES-DE 3.0.1-19 for Android is now available for download!
This release adds support for Android 10, removes support for the Yuzu emulator and includes a number of additional minor improvements and bug fixes.
Although we understand that some of you will not be happy with Yuzu getting removed it simply isn't feasible to keep supporting this emulator. That project simply went too far, there is really no other way to put it. We have decided to not remove support for Citra though as we don't see any issues with how that part of the project was managed. As ES-DE is completely configurable it's obviously possible for you to manually add back Yuzu support, but we will not provide any specific instructions or support for this emulator. There is however general documentation in the user guide on how to customize systems and add your own emulators.
We also want to clarify how future updates will be provided. For the moment we will post here on Patreon when a new release is made available and you should get an email from Patreon about the post (unless you have disabled email notifications). In addition to that we will enable in-app update notifications so when you start ES-DE you will be notified if there is a new release. If you pay once on Patreon and cancel your subscription you'll still get one month of membership so you will see these release messages for that time period. As one month has not yet passed since we started to self-publish on Patreon it means everyone that has paid once will be able to read this very message. In the future we will also send out emails with download links outside of Patreon whenever there has been a release, and this will be sent to you regardless of whether you paid once or decided to continue to support us here. A solution for this has already been put in place, but due to restrictions with our current hosting partner it would literally take days to send out all the emails. We are currently in discussions with a new hosting partner which should resolve this issue so that we can quickly deliver emails to everyone. This is only a technical question, we are committed to honoring our promise of future updates to anyone that has ever supported ES-DE via Patreon.
As for the update, just install the new APK on top of the old one, your settings will be retained and you will not lose any data.
Thank you for your continued support and enjoy the new release!
