Version 0.2.2 released
Posted July 26, 2026 by indyjo
Release 0.2.2 is out — a small bugfix and compatibility update on top of 0.2.1.
What's fixed?
- TOS 1.x memory allocation — the game erroneously used the
MxAlloc system call which is not available on older TOS versions. Allocation should behave correctly on TOS 1.x now.
- Sidebar status pips — READY, PRIMARY, and HOLDING pips could be clipped incorrectly.
- Palette optimization — high bits in color values were not masked correctly, which could throw off palette results.
What's improved?
- Low-memory map selection — map selection is leaner so it is less likely to run out of memory on tighter systems.
- Theater graphics conversion — TEMPERAT, DESERT, and WINTER mixes are included in SHPX conversion, freeing roughly 80–150 KB depending on theater.
- Sprite cache — a few small cache tweaks for slightly better behavior under memory pressure.
