One of my tweaks for the Anbernic running GarlicOS. Since I am not an old time gamer I don't know what the heck controller goes with what the heck old console system!
So I added text labels. I didn't really plan it out so it could have been much better, but it works for now.
It was just a matter of editing the images on the SD card.
I've been quiet most of this week because I've been slightly off the grid and just chilling in rural Maryland while house sitting (and pool sitting and dog sitting) but I spent a bunch of time messing around with the Anbernic RG35XX running GarlicOS so I'll probably do some posts about that...
I had a ton of game for the Game Boy (plus GBA and GBC) loaded but had paired them down to just my favorites, but I added in tons again to try new ones.
I think ultimately I'll just make two swappable SD cards, one with favorites and one fully loaded with every ROM I can find.
(I'll just keep them both in the travel case I use.)
This will allow a "fun/play" mode and an "explore" mode by just a card swap.
Okay, I've got a basic script that works to fix corrupt PICO-8 files on the Anbernic RG35XX running GarlicOS. You run it using SimpleTerminal and it's interactive so you just need to type Y, N, or Q as it loops through the most recently modified files. It's probably not perfect but seems to work in my basic testing.
So basically multiple copies with different names.... though I'm guessing they would not save state since the system would see them as different games so... maybe not.
I tested a whole lot of PICO-8 games on the Anbernic RG35XX and these are the results (so far! I still have a lot to add to the list but I'm going to go play now.)
We’re launching a membership on overkill soon. It’ll get you an ad-free experience, a to-be-announced members-only newsletter (great for #gamingnews junkies), and more.
We plan to add more to the membership as time goes by. It’ll soft launch at a lower price, but we will raise it as soon as we add more perks.
Weird issue with GarlicOS on the RG35XX today. Games launch, then quit, and the screen blinks/flashes repeatedly. (Doesn’t happen when I switch back to stock OS.)
I solved my own problem! It seems retroarch.cfg became corrupt. Someone made an "app" that can fix it. You copy it into the APPS folder and launch it using RetroArch to replace the config file.
I've learned to lower my expectations with the Anbernic RG35XX when it comes to playing PICO-8 and TIC-80 games. Lots of them are fine, but some either run super-slow, or get errors when they run.
The ones that do work definitely work well, so I just need to focus on those.
(To be fair I didn't even know about PICO-8 or TIC-80 when I got it, so those are all just bonus games.)
@ktec@a_cup_of_sugar@krystman@requiem It's a work in progress, but I started taking notes about the PICO-8 games that work or give me issues on the Anbernic RG35XX (which uses Fake-08).
As I’ve been playing all these old games on the RG35XX I’m learning what kind of games I like. Games where I have to fight? No thanks. Games where I have to run around and find things and avoid obstacles? Much better. (Sort of like real life I guess!) I look forward to learning more about myself on this journey.
