Version 1.8.6 introduces a low-cost Minimal design and streamlines navigation and mod details for smoother use on entry-level Android devices.

A lightweight option

Minimal uses whitespace and typography instead of neutral cards, with no backdrop painters, skewed controls or decorative shadows.
Retro Manga remains the default; Minimal, Mario 64 and SM64 Intro are available in Settings.
Existing valid theme selections remain unchanged, and missing or unknown selections use Retro Manga.
When no previous choice exists, a one-time banner lets users turn on automatic installation after downloads or keep download-only behavior.

Drawer destinations use lightweight Material glyphs for optional themes and text-only rows in Minimal.
SVG UI assets and their rendering dependency have been removed; the header uses one lightweight raster app logo.
Route changes are immediate instead of running a combined scale and fade transition.

Simpler mod details

The detail screen renders immediately without its previous entrance fade.
Mod images no longer start a Hero animation between catalogue cards and details.
Content, installation actions, favourites and sharing keep their existing behavior.

Player stores regenerated character models and one matching preview frame, avoiding repeated ROM and game-library parsing.
The game-mod library shows its last confirmed snapshot immediately and reconciles it with the game files in the background.
Changing the game folder, game build or renderer schema invalidates the affected cache automatically.
