Cloud sync you can trust on every device, a way to take your games back out of GammaWave, and fixes for the issues you reported. SYNC ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES - Your devices now take turns syncing, so two of them can never quietly overwrite each other. If the same save changed on both, GammaWave asks which one to keep - Play different games on different devices at the same time and both keep their progress - Adding a game no longer risks auto-sync deleting your cloud saves, and a dropped connection is never mistaken for saves you deleted - Deleting a game removes it from the cloud and your other devices instead of bringing it back on the next sync. Your saves and save states stay in the cloud, so adding the game again brings your progress back - Signing into a different Google account keeps every save on this device - One file that will not sync no longer holds up the rest, and sync tells you which file it was - For the best results, update GammaWave on every device you sync BIG GAMES ON IPHONE AND IPAD Games over about 100 MB, which is most DS games, now upload, download and restore without running out of memory, even when you restore a whole library at once. YOUR GAMES AND SAVES - Export a game file from its menu in your library, so you can keep a copy before removing it from GammaWave - Export save states to Files or share them to another device - Importing and exporting save files now works on Super Nintendo, NES and Nintendo 64, from both your library and the pause menu - Back Up & Upgrade no longer uploads your games when it only needs your saves IPHONE AND IPAD - Choose box art straight from your photo library - Share buttons now work on iPad, including exporting saves, save states, screenshots and backups - Choosing box art, a backup file or a controller wallpaper no longer fails with an error GAMES AND GRAPHICS - The cheat database works again after updating - Nintendo DS games that use a rarely used video mode now show up instead of a blank screen - Nintendo 64 games that render fine no longer warn about your GPU, and the faster renderer keeps its fallback for the games that need it - If a game fails to start, GammaWave now tells you instead of showing a black screen Plus many smaller fixes throughout. Thanks for playing!
