Small update (Patreon)

Just wanted to keep all the new Patron's abreast of the work I've been doing lately.

1. Analytics/Crash reporting

We used to have this before Crashlytics shut down. It was very helpful but the way we distributed made it difficult to get all the data.

Now that we have an AltStore source, analytics will be very helpful to track bugs and usage so I'm going to be adding this back into the official builds.

2. New cores

Looking into the work required for the following

• PSP (PPSSPP)
• PSX w. native upscaling (DuckStation)
• Dolphin (DoplhiniOS)
• Dreamcast (Flycast)
• PS2 (Play!)
  

All of these are wrapped, compiling and linking but require some work to get graphics to render.

3. Bug fixes

A few issues with multi-cd imports and conflicts not showing up correctly.
These will be in the next release

4. Patreon benefits

looking into how AltStore detects how users are Patrons so you can login and be recognized as a Patron.
As I start releasing features with feature flags for Beta testing (continuous integration is the goal) Patrons will have early access to features still under development in the official builds.

Of course being open source, a user could overwrite the checks if they build themselves but the point is to benefit those who are supporters with a simpler way to be involved in the development and testing process.

We also have our first 64-bit level Patron!!!!

Super encouraging for the project as we slowly gain some support.

I'm looking for contract jobs at the moment to pay the bills so all the support helps allow me to spend more time here where I'd rather. Thanks again!.
