Technical Changelog

Version 1.3 Final (BETA) is the latest public Miladygotchi GBA build. It focuses on verified pet-care behavior, restored PCM music, cleaner Mode 4 rendering, tighter controls, and a browser play page that works on phones through touch controls.

• Confirmed the Gotchi care loop: hunger rises only when Burgi or Cookie inventory is consumed, fun rises through play and minigames, HP rises through gifts, and care stats decay during active play when neglected.
• Restored timer/DMA Direct Sound music playback for the title OST and cheese theme, while keeping PSG routed for button, shop, reward, error, and care sound effects.
• Fixed shared Mode 4 palette conflicts by remapping portrait pixels away from the UI-reserved palette range at load time.
• Modernized title, collection, selector, Gotchi, Konbini, inventory, cheese, and Beetleboy minigame screens with clearer GBA-era panels and less text collision.
• Aligned controls to visible prompts: START opens the title prompt, A confirms core flows, B returns, and L/R/SELECT remain only where the interface calls them out.
• Centralized capped $CULT rewards at 99,999 across passive income, cheese sales, slots, Memory Match, Beetle Hunt, and Legend of Milady.
• Added a mobile touch controller to the browser emulator so phone users can play with D-pad, A/B, START/SELECT, and L/R buttons.
• Preserved old ROM downloads in the archive instead of replacing the historical builds.

• Reframed the project as a hardware-minded GBA release with clearer runtime, rendering, audio, and compatibility goals.
• Documented 240x160 legibility work, SRAM compatibility, DirectSound and PSG identity, and original-hardware presentation.
• Served as the public remaster milestone before the v1.3 Final (BETA) cleanup and mobile browser-control pass.

• Added the SRAM backup identification string required by many emulators and flash cartridges to prevent silent save failure behavior.
• Preserved as a historical midpoint between the expansion-era build and the newer remaster presentation.

• Added the Milady Game Studio splash screen and title flow improvements.
• Introduced the Remilio collection support and the cheese minigame release branch.
• Represents the final major content build before the site and technical framing shifted toward a full remaster.
