Hi everyone,

Following the Lemuroid 1.17.0 announcement, Phoenix Down v1.17.1 is now live.

Release: https://github.com/zinosaure/PhoenixDown/releases/tag/phoenix-down-v1.17.1

What is Phoenix Down? Phoenix Down is an open-source Android emulator fork based on Lemuroid/Libretro, focused on practical quality-of-life features like network libraries, Android TV usability, and integrated content workflows.

What was validated for this release:

Device tests:

• Xiaomi TV Box Gen 3
• Samsung Galaxy A35

Storage and network tests:

• Local SMB share (read/write)
• Internet SMB share (read-only)

Gameplay tests:

• Tested across all supported platforms except PSX
• PSX currently has known network-loading limitations, so it is better to avoid PSX over network in this version

Known PSX caveat (important):

• Some PSX games over network can fail because:

-- Copyright/legal constraints -- Multi-file disc sets are harder to resolve remotely when not in single-file formats (for example BIN + CUE dependencies) -Recommendation for affected PS1 network cases: use ePSXe

Install/build:

• Docker install/build is plug-and-play from repo root: ./build.sh

This is currently the easiest way to build without local Android toolchain friction.

Project/readme:

• Full details, features, and roadmap are in the README.
• Upcoming roadmap includes SFTP/WebDAV support and multiple ROM folders scanned in parallel.

Issues and feedback:

• If you hit bugs, please open issues directly on the GitHub repo (with device, Android version, logs, and reproduction steps if possible).

Contributors are welcome:

• If you want to help with code, testing, documentation, UX, translations, or device/network validation, contributions are very welcome. Feel free to open an issue first to discuss ideas, or submit a PR directly.

Disclaimer:

• Phoenix Down does not include copyrighted games or BIOS files.
• Please use only legally acquired content.
• Archive.org integration does not imply affiliation with archive.org.
