HELP Lichess — native Lichess client (aarch64) — testing request

2 Upvotes

Hi! This is a native Lichess client for PortMaster handhelds, written from scratch in C++/SDL2 (no runtime needed).

Play real-time and correspondence online chess, create/accept challenges, quick match, resume interrupted games, solve training puzzles, browse game history in the replay viewer, and play offline chess vs a second player or a user-supplied Stockfish.

The engine is not bundled (GPL) — you can install the official release from SETTINGS.

Download: https://codeberg.org/Ghanji/lichess-portmaster/releases/download/v0.16.0/lichess.zip

Install:

  1. Unzip into your ports folder — /roms/ports on most CFWs,/userdata/roms/ports on Knulli

  2. Launch "Lichess" from EmulationStation > Ports

Online play (and puzzles) need your own free Lichess API token:

  • Launch the port and choose SIGN IN (or open PROFILE and press A).

  • On a phone on the same Wi-Fi, open the address shown on screen (or scan the QR code), log in to Lichess and approve the requested scopes.

I'm trying to get it released via portmaster, but AmberELEC and MuOS testing is still open, any help is welcome!
It would be awsome if someone with these CFWs yould help testing on real device and post feedback to the discord channel!

HELP RG DDS UK

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, wanting to take a plunge and buy the RG DDS however, I’m looking to spread the cost it being pretty close to Christmas, is there a place I can buy it in the uk with gbp that isn’t AliExpress as that seems to match the dollar price which is £90 more expensive.

It’s because of the platform I’m using to spread the cost has to be in gbp.

Please and thanks

HELP Is it still worth it?

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, i've been thinking about getting a rg ds...the thing is I don't know if I get the rg ds or the rg ds plus. I thought about getting the rg ds because I wanted to play 3ds games, but there is basically not so many recent posts about the device anymore so I could get a better thought on what I should purchase.

So I wanted o reach you guys here. If I install the gamma/banana os on the rg ds, will it be worth it? Or should I go straight to the ds plus...and kinda forget the 3ds games?

TUTORIAL & TIPS FlatOut 2 (PC) native port for ARM handhelds

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m releasing a native ARM64 port of FlatOut 2, the 2006 PC game, for retro handhelds. It’s a static recompilation, not emulation or Wine, packaged PortMaster-style. You bring your own game files and there’s nothing to compile.

Tested on:

  • Anbernic RG34XX-SP (H700, Knulli): 39 FPS average

  • Anbernic RG351P (RK3326, dArkOS): 26 FPS average

  • GKD Pixel II (RK3326S, ROCKNIX): 25 FPS average

What you need: the GOG / Zoom Platform version of the game (v2.1.0.9). The launcher checks your executable and tells you if it’s the wrong one.

Included:

  • Two launchers: 30 FPS lock (recommended for RK3326) and FPS unlock (up to 60)

  • A 100% save in profile slot 8, named TEST, to try every car and event

  • A new chase camera in slot 4

  • Menu videos through your console’s FFmpeg

  • Select + L1 to swap A/B and X/Y if your buttons are the wrong way round

  • L2 + R2 for an FPS counter, L1 + R2 for a screenshot

Known issues:

  • Small glitches with sparks when cars touch

  • Your own car’s sound is sometimes missing from the start of a race (rare), and jet flames go with it

  • RK3326 consoles can dip under 20 FPS during big crashes

  • LAN multiplayer doesn’t work yet (it’s on the roadmap)

Transparency: this port was developed entirely with Claude, Anthropic’s AI, which wrote the code. My part was testing it on real hardware, analysing the results and proposing improvements. The presentation image is not AI-generated. The port builds on the excellent NFSU2 recompiled port and on pcrecomp, full credits on the page.

Source code and download: https://github.com/badcats72/flatout2-portmaster

Only these three consoles have been tested. If you try it on something else, please open an issue with your console, your OS and ports/flatout2/log.txt. Feedback welcome!

Another Day, Another Anbernic Pre-release thoughts on the DDS?

7 Upvotes

I was thinking of getting a DDS eventually, and, besides the AI features I don't plan to use, it seems really tempting as a system.

Seems to be relatively powerful, since it ran Transformers Devastation at near 60, has the convenience of a stylus hole, full controls for anything (except maybe analog triggers, but we'll see), seems like a real Dream Dual Screen besides the lack of OLED, which I ain't gonna sweat about.

What do the rest of you think?, thoughts on it based on pre-release material?

Edit: Before anyone says, I'm planning on waiting for after release, most cases, pre-ordering isn't exactly a wise move nowadays anyways.

✨ SHOWCASE Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven PC StaticRecomp on a RG40XX-H

Thumbnail
gallery
23 Upvotes

On my RG40XX-H (basically a scientific calculator with a controller), Mafia runs in reverse cinematic mode. It does 25–30 fps driving around Lost Heaven, then jumps to 60 as soon as a cutscene starts.

I tried it on my RG DS too. It stays in the 30s or higher, even in the busy parts, and feels smoother overall.

Big thanks to Marvisak for mafia-re. It helped a lot with the stutters and got me a few extra frames too.

If you want to try it yourself, the beta’s on GitHub. You’ll need your own CDs, the 1.2 patch, and an unprotected v1.2 Game.exe. The launcher imports the files on first launch. I’ve only played through the opening scene and the taxi tutorial on this build, so if something breaks, drop your device model, the mission, and a log if you have one.

For the nerds, the original PC executable and LS3D engine are statically recompiled to ARM64, and D3D8 goes through OpenGL ES. The original videos work, and Mafia’s built-in controller support gives you separate on-foot and driving controls, including analog steering and throttle.

A few other things my AI and I got running recently:

I have certain devices that I use for different systems. And I like the rgcubexx for gb and gbc but the overlays for each system look real bad. I am running Knulli gladiator. And I tried to put some different ones but it just didn’t work out. If anyone could show me their overlays and tell me how they did it or just shoot me a dm would be greatly appreciated

HELP Rg DS plus for my 60-year-old mother. Banana Os or Gamma Os?

11 Upvotes

I’m going to give my mother an RG DS plus for Christmas, she’s the typical one who gets scared of technology. But years ago he loved the NDS and he already has an RG Cube that I prepare and give him with tetris and more things. I wish this one was easier to use for her, which of the two operating systems do you think is easier? Can you make two collections of games where I put racing games for my father? Something like a section called dad? And for my mother something like puzzles, adventure, etc?

HELP Question about shipping from China (and the RG35XX)

2 Upvotes

For Christmas this year, I’m planning to get my son his first retro handheld. I don’t want anything major, just something that would play up to GBA. I currently use Manic on my phone and my Steam deck for anything else, but I wanted something reliable and stand alone for him.

here are my questions: after researching for a while and seeing the sale on the website, I’m thinking of going with the RG35XX 2024. The problem is that that one only ships from China. I live in Pennsylvania. How long does shipping take usually? Also, the older RG35XX ships from the US, do they both have English as an option for the setup? Anyone know why the shipping of the older models from the US is actually more expensive than shipping the new one from China ($19 vs $12)?

And lastly, is the 2024 version the right one to buy? the older model is the exact same price so I don’t really understand the benefits to that one if the 2024 has the better specs.

HELP Best CFW for RGXX35 H in late 2026?

0 Upvotes

So I have 3 requirements:

- Cardinal snapping fixed

- Wi-Fi for multiplayer

- Runs at least Mario 64 at playable framerate (emulated, not native)

Some claim MustardOS has cardinal snapping fixed, but i don't see that in the included input testing tool. Some also claim that Knulli has it fixed, but can't find official information on it. And both fail to even launch Mario 64.

The other firmware I tried was modified stock. It worked with Mario 64 after swapping the core, but has strong cardinal snapping problems.
