NgpCraft Emulator v3.5 is released. A Neo Geo Pocket / Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator: a fast native C++ core (TLCS-900H + Z80 + K2GE video) driven by a PyQt6 desktop shell. Its timing is calibrated against real hardware — instruction-fetch wait-states on the cartridge flash, silicon-measured MUL/DIV and LDIR costs — so self-timed games (Cool Boarders Pocket, Densha de Go) run at their true 30 fps instead of the ~2× too fast that most emulators show.

Features:
Library with cover thumbnails (grid / list / compact), live-reflowing — plus search, sort (name, last played, most played, playtime, recently added, size, with a direction toggle), favourites ★ and a never-played filter. Play count, playtime and last-played are tracked per game.
Console boot — with a real BIOS, Boot BIOS powers the console on for real: the Neo Geo Pocket intro plays and the game then boots on its own, exactly like hardware.
Video: integer / fit / stretch scaling, scanline / LCD-grid / CRT filters, colour profiles, real fullscreen. The canvas follows the window; size presets Ctrl+1…5.
Black-and-white cartridges, in colour — an NGP game on an NGPC is colourised, the way a Game Boy game is on a Game Boy Color. Both machines are selectable — see Monochrome cartridges.
Save states — 8 slots per game (toolbar or F2 save / F4 load / F3 slot).
In-game saves — the game's own flash save, stored in the ROM, a separate file, or both.
A console that remembers — the coin cell keeps its BIOS settings and its clock, so the date is still right next time. The RTC alarm works too, and goes off on time.
Speed control — fast-forward (hold Tab) and 0.25×…4× ([ / ] or the toolbar).
Rewind — hold , (or the ⏪ toolbar button) to run the game backward; release to resume. . steps one frame forward. Buffer length configurable (Off / 10 / 20 / 30 s).
Screenshots (F12, folder configurable), FPS overlay, a hideable player toolbar.
Controller support — an Xbox-style (XInput) pad alongside the keyboard, plus turbo / autofire on A and B at 5–20 presses per second.
Fully remappable — console buttons and every in-game hotkey, with a warning when a binding would collide. The console buttons are bound on a picture of the console: each field sits next to the button it drives, so you pick the D-pad's left rather than a row labelled "Left".
Themes — follows your desktop's light/dark setting by default, or pick Light or Dark explicitly. Switches live, no restart.
Debug tools (F1) — a real debugger: symbols, instruction stepping, call stack, raster event timeline, read and write watchpoints, an editable hex view with access highlighting, RAM search, and audio analysis with VGM export. See Debugging.
ROM analysis — right-click a game to boot it, drive it, and report what is wrong with it. See ROM analysis.
Crash reports — a ROM fault writes a detailed crashes/*.txt (reason, PC, opcode, registers, memory & stack dumps).
Translated interface — English and French, switchable live, no restart. One JSON file per language in lang/, so adding one is adding a file and needs no code: see TRANSLATING.md. Contributions welcome.

NgpCraft Changelog:
NgpCraft Emulator v3.4
Since v3.1, games could not tell that a link cable was connected. The connection came up and the data flowed, but the game itself still thought nothing was plugged in. That is why Card Fighters' Clash sat forever on "either player must push A", and why Gals' Fighters, Puyo Pop and Magical Drop said there was no second player. Tested in dual-console mode on a single PC and over LAN; online tests remain to be done.
Hosting no longer stops behind your back
Closing the little window that shows your address used to cancel the session without telling you. And the host gave up after five minutes, which is barely enough time to walk to the other machine. It now keeps running until you decide to stop, and the "waiting" message counts up so you can see it is still alive.
Connection errors that make sense
Instead of a Windows error number, you get the actual reason: you are not on the same network, nobody is hosting on that port, or the address does not exist. And if you type 127.0.0.1, it reminds you that this means your own PC, not your friend's.
Correct speed
The emulated console now runs within a fraction of a percent of a real one, checked against actual hardware.
Readable built-in BIOS
The BIOS bundled with the emulator was displaying scrambled text. Fixed.
