DdCno1, do gaming w anyone here have experience with portmaster games? help needed

Have you tried MuOS instead? Portmaster works just fine with that on this exact device - and it’s a great OS for it.

GammaGames, (edited )

Also on Mu, highly recommend (aside from the lack of Bluetooth support which is planned for the next major release next year)

The dual SD support is really nice, too!

DdCno1,

Have you tried out this huge theme pack? So many fun themes in there.

github.com/MustardOS/theme/…/2024-12-14_0720

My current favorite is the SteamOS facsimile.

I’ve only had the device for a few days and barely scratched the surface. Anything less obvious I should know?

GammaGames,

I have! I actually made my own theme based on MinUIfied github.com/GammaGames/CC-29

The only other tip I can think of is to enable the auto save/load state in RA, now I can close my device and it’ll power off after 10 minutes. Turning it back on boots right into the last game and works really well

DdCno1,

Excellent idea. It feels much better than having to manually launch the last game. I’m assuming you’ve already configured Rertroarch to create a save state any time a game is being closed.

Is there a way to have the hinge work as a power button even if the device is fully powered down? I really don’t like that you have to hold the power button for several seconds.

Neat theme, by the way. How difficult is it to create one of these?

GammaGames, (edited )

From what I heard the processor’s“sleep” doesn’t have the super low power mode and would end up using too much battery, so the only way to get the hinge to wake would be to give up battery life. It would be really nice though, maybe another company will make their own SP with the feature 🤞

Theming isn’t hard! It’s pretty customizable and easy to work with, but there’s no style inheritance/file importing so custom pages might each have the same duplicate style settings in each

DdCno1,

I appreciate the info. Why does that lack of style inheritance remind me of making PowerPoint slides?

sleepybisexual,

Tried it. But prefer stock. Have a card with mu tho

DdCno1,

Which aspects of stock do you prefer over muOS?

sleepybisexual,

Music player. Nicer ui than gmu.

That’s literally it. Nothing else to say

I use my sp as a music player primarily

DdCno1,

You know what, I can respect that.

Can it play music with the screen closed?

sleepybisexual,

Stock: yes

Mu: if I disable the lid feature

Is the game data actually in the portmaster directory when you browse the SD card on a PC? I know many pm games require copyrighted data to run (half life for example)

A lot of these stock OSes are crudely translated from Chinese perhaps “ready to play” isn’t literal.

I’ve gotten several portmaster games working on ArkOS on my Anbernic devices, check their wiki it’s probably similar to the setup required on the anbernic stock OS

sleepybisexual,

Basically j copied the shell script and the folder.This was a game that didn’t need extra data. I put the files in from pc

DdCno1,

So you didn’t install the game from within Portmaster on the device itself?

sleepybisexual,

Stock os doesn’t have postmaster, nor support for the client itself to my knowledge

I’m splitting time between two Switch games. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge, and Little Kitty, Big City.

One is super awesome 2D beat 'em up, the other is a cozy game in which you play as a cat trying to get back home.

I love both and got to say I love the whole concept of LKBC. It’s a bit of a glitchy game, but it doesn’t get problematic.

I also have been playing Valves Deadlock, but I’m traveling without my PC over Christmas.

Finished the Night Springs and the Lake House expansions, as well as Alan Wake 2 itself. I actually really liked The Lake House, and imo it was scarier than the main game. It got me really excited for Control 2.

Got through a few levels in Doom II.

Decided to have another go through We Happy Few, at least Arthur's chapter, as kind of a palate cleanser after spending so much time on Remedy games. I'm working on a few achievements, so it might end up being a longer playthrough than last time.

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire; unironically more addictive than the mainline Pokémon games.

sleepybisexual,

On GBC, Shantae is a lovely game.

DdCno1,

You might be interested in this ROM hack, which enables GBA enhancements that the developers themselves came up with for later re-releases.

Recently went back to OSRS after getting recommended a video essay about how Runescape is good that included a rant about capitalism ruining the enjoyment of labor and capitalism. It was funny enough to make me go back

I do not remember purchasing “gems” with real currency in the “good old days”

It has so many micro transactions it’s obvious the game’s a cash grab on player’s nostalgia. Oh, and you cannot play it offline even in single player.

My advice: avoid

Spuddlesv2, do games w I didn't expect there would still be new games similar to Heroes of Might and Magic III nowadays

They’re literally remaking HoMM 3 now.

lzbz,

Got a source for that? I’m not aware of anything like that

Spuddlesv2,
Ezergill,

a) That’s not a remake, it’s a separate game b) Please don’t buy it, made by russian devs that have been funded by oligarchs with ties to the russian government

SandLight,

Not OP but you should check out VCMI project. It’s finally got a 1.x release after some decade+ of work. Fixed castle limit issues of the originally to free up modding potential and they’re making improvements to enemy AI.

Also works on Android.

brsrklf,

Also the GoG version of classic HoMM3 is perfecty playable and has the complete edition with extensions.

Prefer this to the HD edition on Steam though, that one only contains base game and can’t be modded.

Lots of good suggestions already, but what first came to my mind is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I’m not even into Final Fantasy and have only played a few tactical RPGs, but I fell into FFTA hard when it came out. The battle system was fun, with a little twist that there’s random laws you have to follow each fight (e.g. no attacking with staves) that can get a character arrested and taken out of the action after a warning. Nice music, cute art style, and a pretty good story as I recall.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Was my answer too. Absolutely phenomenal game. Don’t really have anything else to add to your points other than to encourage people to play it if they haven’t already. Great story, great gameplay, just an absolute classic.
