Update README.md for 1.6

[hrydgard]

Looks too short, I must have forgotten a lot of things...

[Leopard20]

I assume you could add "Fixing crashes on backend switch".
Or maybe just simplify it to "Lots of crash fixes"!
There was also a memory leak issue that you fixed. There is more but not sure if you want to get into too much detail!

[unknownbrackets]

Some random thoughts of potential other items (some probably too detailed to include):

• Ad hoc: Band-aid fix for clear peer list. Should fix #7331 #8975 (I don't follow adhoc closely so not sure how noteworthy)
• SDL/Linux now supports Vulkan (SDL/X11 Vulkan init #10413)
• Might be worth mentioning jit working on iOS specifically, not just "a few fixes" (Allow arm64 jit when memory base is not nicely aligned #10465) Although there are other good fixes.
• Now uses a core profile on Mac, improving compatibility (Request a core profile in OpenGL (after 1.5.0) #10113)
• Probably should mention texture replacement fixes / some v1.5.4 replacements incompatible due to a bug? ([Android] Texture hashing method changed since v1.5.4 - Custom Textures don't work #10796)
• Maybe add Vulkan as the default on the Vulkan improvements line?
• Maybe "Assorted bugfixes and compatibility improvements" again? Not sure if it's needed to repeat that each time. Otherwise maybe include Execute_Prim: Add a smaller "inner interpreter" to speed long up sequences of PRIM commands #10658 specifically?
• Save state undo feature worth mentioning? Maybe not, since there's not enough UI yet. Maybe next time around.
• If you end up adding PR #s might want Vulkan: Depalettize in shaders #10911 in the Vulkan list. Might be worth mentioning the previously unplayable games this makes work (not entirely sure how popular they are.)
• Might also note app file browser on iOS line? (Add support for File app (file browser) on iOS 11 #10921)
• Further Android widget fixes? (PPSSPP 1.5.4 on Android. Shortcuts do not work the first time. #10855)

I may have a few ideas where to put the new save state undo feature.

1. Just simply put it between Load state and Back here:
   

2. Another idea is putting it between Back and Delete in savedata manager:
   

3. Replace Back with Undo and put an X in the top left or right corner (or maybe ditch it completely, since you can go back by clicking in the empty area)

4. Or maybe if you feel like making it more user-friendly (and less confusing), you could make a small picture-in-picture (PIP) window in the lower right corner of either of those windows that displays the previously saved state with a text saying "Undo" in the middle of it.

Also make sure you implement a confirmation dialog that says something like "This deletes the current savestate. Are you sure?". Don't want people to accidentally lose their precious savestate!

Another 5th idea that just popped into my head!
5) 3 + when the confirmation dialog pops up, display the previous state and say "Replace current savestate with the previous one?"

If you guys could spare a bit of time it might be a good idea to fully implement this feature for v1.6 (not good leaving sth unfinished, am I right?!)

If you're short on time maybe not do the PIP thing (if you like it) till v1.7.

not good leaving sth unfinished

Definitely good to finish things, but this is a dangerous mentality. PPSSPP is still unfinished. It's better to leave things unfinished than try to build Rome in a day. What we have now is already a lot more awesome than 1.5.4.

The train's gotta stop to take new passengers at some point, can't wait until we're at the end of the line for that.

My worry about the UI anyway is awkward and tiny touch areas.

[Leopard20]

You're right. Better to do sth right than rush things. I just wanted to share my ideas.

@hrydgard I think we should mention my last pull request, it may interest some users like Linux distribution packages maintainers.
Maybe the following:

Added "--version" command line option for SDL and Qt platforms (#11028)

[ghost]

I think 1.6.0 is ready 👍😀

[marosis]

Yes. I think too!👍

[Leopard20]

Well, 1.6 is gonna be the same as the latest git build. So you can just stay on dev builds and avoid switching builds every time a new stable build comes out (you're probably gonna have to switch to dev again anyway, e.g for issue reporting)

[unknownbrackets]

Actually 1.6.0 is gonna have a complete PS2/PS3 emulator, a special "superultrashader" that will make 10x render resolution look good in all games and run faster than 1x on even the weakest mobile devices, and a checkbox to download extra RAM and ISO storage space for low-memory devices.

None of this code has been tested or seen by anyone yet, so it's possible that when it first sees the world it will be so buggy that it won't even exist.

All the improvements in git since 1.5.4 were just the prep work for these great features that we decided could be made public. The code name of this update is PPSSPP: The Emperor's New Clothes Edition.

Wow it’ll be very nice at least to support ps2 games on this amazing emulator.
We really hope we can get a Nintendo Switch port as well.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

[Leopard20]

@unknownbrackets
Please also add a PS4 emulator! Maybe even create PS5 while you're at it! 😂

[hrydgard]

Some people should maybe check their sarcasm detectors :)

Again I'm gonna have a busy weekend but I'll really try to get it out next week...

[Leopard20]

I hope you don't mean me! Because then you need to check yours!😉

[unknownbrackets]

Please also add a PS4 emulator! Maybe even create PS5 while you're at it! 😂

Yes, PS5 emulation should take very little time to add. I bet it will run all the PS5 games that have been released to date with very little effort.

-[Unknown]

[Leopard20]

Yay!!! Thank you! 😂

P.S: I meant create the PS5 console! But given the limited time frame you have, emulation will suffice! LOL

[ghost]

Add also PS ViTa please 🙇
hahaha 😂✌

[Leopard20]

Is it just me or is this thread really turning into a joke?!

[ghost]

YES FINALLY!!!
1.6.0 is going to release 🎇🙌🎉
