The Nimbus Alpha 1.5 has started offering support for Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu, for the Game Boy Advance, as the fifth game in its project of native ports for Windows, Linux, and Android. According to a report by Android Authority published on November 5, 2026, the initiative brings together classic Dragon Ball Z games in a dedicated program, without relying on a traditional emulator during execution.
In addition, the release is an evolution of the Alpha 1.4 version, which had added Supersonic Warriors. In turn, the new stage highlights Taiketsu and reinforces organization tools, touch interface, and cross-platform connectivity. To check the current binaries and requirements, consult the release log published by the developer.
Nimbus Alpha 1.5 includes five Dragon Ball Z games
According to specialized reporting and the details provided by the author, the five titles included are Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, Budokai 2, Sagas, Supersonic Warriors and Taiketsu. The first three came from the GameCube, while the latter two originated on the Game Boy Advance.
Therefore, the runtime centralizes the different titles, with specific implementation for each platform. However, the project has not yet demonstrated all the original features perfectly, nor has it presented comprehensive independent compatibility and performance tests on all devices.
Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu on PC and Android
Thus, the new port of Taiketsu uses Nimbus's unified environment to deliver native execution on compatible systems. For GBA games, the developer also works with local matches that reproduce the link cable connection logic using the program's own instances.
On the other hand, according to Android Authority, the project also enables matches between Android, Windows, and Linux. Thus, the possibility of connecting distinct devices is a feature presented by the author, and its quality depends on the network and the installed version; this is not an Allves Games test.
What changed in Alpha 1.5?
In addition, the version adds improvements to the Android device interface, such as adjustable touch-sensitive controls, an eight-way D-pad, and layout options. Furthermore, it includes a tool to locate the user's legitimate files, avoiding the need to manually search for each game across all folders.
Similarly, the project reports support for compressed images such as GCZ, CISO, RVZ, and WIA, as well as ZIP and 7z files in compatible scenarios. However, this does not authorize downloading protected games; Nimbus does not distribute commercial ROMs or ISOs.
Where to download and what is needed?
Finally, the developer maintains a Alpha 1.5 release page on GitHub. Before installing, check the assets offered for your system and the current instructions in the README. It is necessary to use images of the actual discs or cartridges in versions accepted by the project.
Alpha 1.5 includes public installers for three systems. Before downloading, choose the correct architecture and confirm the requirements in the official README:
However, the compatibility and performance information presented are developer statements or reports from the specialized press, and not independent benchmarks. To learn about the previous update, also read the article from the Nimbus Alpha 1.4 on Allves Games.
