3dSen PC 2.0: Sub-voxel, bend it, shade it, make it shine
Hello everyone,
3dSen PC 2.0 is now available. This is my biggest overhaul yet.
- Redesigned interface: Browse games in list or grid view with cover art, search and filter your library, and mark favorites.
- Gamepad menu navigation: Navigate the whole interface with a gamepad, with a built-in on-screen keyboard for search.
- Resume where you left off: When you reopen 3dSen, choose Continue to resume your previous game or Discard to start fresh.
- Enhanced visual style: Customize reflections, shading, pixel shadows, voxel grooves and world curvature. The effects start switched off, so turn on the ones you like in Settings > Visual Effects and see each change in a live preview of the paused game. The Classic style remains available.
- Retina render mode: A whole new way of sub-voxel modeling. Instead of building every pixel as a block, Retina sculpts smooth, rounded surfaces that cut through the voxels. Turn it on in Settings > Display > Render Mode.
- Anti-aliasing: Choose Off, 2x or 4x. The default is 2x.
- Run Ahead: On by default, it reduces input delay for more responsive gameplay.
- Soft Reset: Restart the game as if pressing Reset on the original console. Some games keep scores or other data after a soft reset.
- Mouse camera control: Drag with the right mouse button to turn the camera.
- Rendering fixes: Fixed thin cracks, dark dots and dark lines between 3D tiles.
- Smoother loading: Fewer stutters when loading games.
- Safer saving: Settings are preserved if the app closes abruptly.
- Camera fix: Zooming in no longer makes the camera spin.
- Profile fixes: Fixed issues in the Super Mario Bros., Punch-Out!! and Final Fantasy profiles.
- Other fixes and optimizations: Improvements to emulation, audio, rewind, save-state handling, performance and memory usage.
- 64-bit Windows build: The Windows version has moved from 32-bit to 64-bit.
- Native Apple Silicon support: The macOS version now runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
- Steam Deck: The native Linux version runs a lot better now and is recommended over the Windows version through Proton. To use it, open the game's Properties > Compatibility, tick "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and choose Steam Linux Runtime.
For returning players
- The old menu has been retired. Everything it did now lives in the new one.
- New default controller layout: Y / B for Select / Start and LB / RB for Rewind / Fast Forward (clicking the right stick still opens the menu). Your saved layout is kept; to switch, go to Settings > Controls and press Reset to defaults.
Thank you for your support and feedback.
