Bug fixes and stability improvements. This update fixes an issue where some users could see database errors when loading SNES or NES ROMs. The app should now load games more reliably.

Retro Handheld is now free to start. Play the full classic Nintendo lineup, GameBoy through Nintendo 64, completely free. PlayStation and Sega Genesis are now available with a single one-time unlock. No subscriptions, no ads, just one purchase that stays yours. New: free to download and play, with six consoles included at no cost New: one-time unlock adds PlayStation and Sega Genesis PlayStation runs immediately with bundled OpenBIOS, no separate BIOS needed Added Restore Purchases for your unlock across devices Stability and performance improvements across all cores A couple of notes on the What's New. I kept it benefit-focused rather than listing internal plumbing, which is what Apple wants there and what the rare existing user actually cares about. I added the "stability and performance improvements" line as a safe filler since you almost certainly touched core code during the conversion; drop it if this build genuinely changed nothing in the cores. And if you ran into anything user-visible during the unlock work that you fixed, add it as a bullet, since concrete fixes read better than generic ones.

Bug Fixes and UI Updates - Fixed iPhone landscape mode for handheld systems, so Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance can now rotate correctly and use the dedicated landscape shell. - Updated the iPhone landscape handheld template to a more polished retro design with improved screen framing, controls, speaker details, and overall layout. - Refined the portrait Game Boy shell with better body proportions, screen bezel styling, control spacing, and speaker detailing. - Improved template routing so iPhone portrait keeps the handheld shell, while iPad landscape uses the CRT TV layout for console-style systems. - Removed outdated pricing text from Settings. - Updated PlayStation firmware messaging so the app no longer asks users to import a PS1 BIOS when bundled OpenBIOS is already included. - Cleaned up the firmware/settings experience to better reflect which firmware is optional, bundled, or actually required.
