Im guessing the 2.2.1 wrapper didnt work? :/

#

Runs well but theres an issue with the resolution, its zoomed.

#

mossy coyote Mar 16, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

Ooo Okies… yup tested this on my x55 looks like it needs some editing for resolution

mossy coyote Mar 16, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

raven stream Im guessing the 2.2.1 wrapper didnt work? :/

And yup 2.2.1 is still mythical

raven stream Mar 16, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

Seems like theres no settings for fullscreen in any of .ini's

#

Data.win also doesnt seem to have anything easy to change

#

Might just be 16:9 default

#

On my ultrawide it just makes a window, no fullscreen options either

mossy coyote Mar 16, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

raven stream Seems like theres no settings for fullscreen in any of .ini's

Does changing the resolution in the game.droid help?

#

If it does then need to do resolution patches

raven stream Mar 16, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

Didnt work for me no

mossy coyote Mar 16, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

Hmmmm Okies will figure this out tomorrow

#

Thank you for testing!

normal ore Mar 16, 2024, 4:19 PM

This was on my list to try!

I used the latest SHRUBNAUT - Windows.zip version and used the following steps to convert

#1 Downgrade to bytecode 16
1. Scripts -> Helper Scripts -> ConvertFrom17to16.csx
2. save (should show GMS 2.0, bytecode 16)

#2 Upgrade to GMS 2.3, bytecode 17
1. Scripts -> Technical Scripts
2. save (should now show GMS 2.2.2.302, bytecode 17)

#3 Test with 2.2.2.302 runner

#4 Create patch
/opt/system/Tools/PortMaster/xdelta3 -f -e -s "gamedata/game.droid" "gamedata/data.win.orig" "shrubnaut.patch"

seems to start, but wanted to finish the game before calling it a success

#

seems to be running ok so far

raven stream Mar 16, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

Didnt know we could upgrade gms versions, cool

#

I knew about the bytecode but this is new for me

normal ore Mar 16, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

well, there's those specific versions, and don't know what the limits are version wise tbh, but if there's specific games, you can just try I guess

#

played for about 15 minutes got most of the map covered, no issues

raven stream Mar 16, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

Awesome, i wonder why this works though doggokek

#

Like what does changing the bytecode really do here

#

I happen to have another 2.2.1 game that had similar issues like this one

#

Gonna try this at some point 🙂

normal ore Mar 16, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

worked for Magnibox, just need to figure out how to make the menu key work :/

raven stream Mar 16, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

Oh that looks pretty cool

#

Ive seen the vitaloader guys do some manual input stuff, no clue how that works though

#

Its not uncommon for inputs to not fully work with gmloader, mini doom as an example

#

This is basically all the useful info i could find😅

normal ore Mar 16, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

oh it's def something weird with the code, it has android detection and it probably disables something

#

start works for the "press any key" on the start screen and not after

#

just have to try and disable a few things and test

raven stream Mar 16, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

I believe theres a way to force the platform in gmloader

#

void invoke_app(zip_t *apk, const char *apk_path)
{
    // Get current jni environment
    JNIEnv *env = jni_get_env();

    char *platform_ov = getenv("GMLOADER_PLATFORM");
    if (platform_ov) {
        for (int i = 0; platform_ov[i] != '\0'; i++)
            platform_ov[i] = tolower(platform_ov[i]);

        if (strcmp(platform_ov, "os_windows") == 0)
            FORCE_PLATFORM = os_windows;
        else if (strcmp(platform_ov, "os_android") == 0)
            FORCE_PLATFORM = os_android;
        else if (strcmp(platform_ov, "os_linux") == 0)
            FORCE_PLATFORM = os_linux;
        else if (strcmp(platform_ov, "os_psvita") == 0)
            FORCE_PLATFORM = os_psvita;
        else
            fatal_error("Unexpected platform '%s'.\n", platform_ov);
    }```

normal ore Mar 16, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

ah, nice

#

just found that the code in the game checked for

... && ((os_type == os_macosx) || (os_type == os_windows)) ...

for pressing the start button

mossy coyote Mar 16, 2024, 11:16 PM

#

normal ore ah, nice

Looking forward to magnibox:)

normal ore This was on my list to try! I used the latest `SHRUBNAUT - Windows.zip` versio...

Does the latest version scale to devices?

mossy coyote Mar 17, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

normal ore This was on my list to try! I used the latest `SHRUBNAUT - Windows.zip` versio...

Oooo this works well and scales well... will create a patch and update. thank you for this!

mossy coyote Mar 17, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

Okies... updated with the new patch for the latest window version!

normal ore Mar 17, 2024, 9:05 AM

#

tested fresh on RGB30/JELOS and RG353M/ArkOS, works without a hitch, scales and keeps aspect ratio on both

mossy coyote Mar 17, 2024, 9:52 AM

will put your name on the port as first author for figuring this out 🙂

normal ore Mar 17, 2024, 9:54 AM

#

thanks! teamwork, yay!

normal ore Mar 17, 2024, 10:00 AM

#

mossy coyote Looking forward to magnibox:)

Guess I should put that up now 😂

mossy coyote Mar 19, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

<@&1216123318122577972> Need 480 x 320 and AmberELEC

warped dagger Mar 19, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

can test later 🙂

tulip spade Mar 19, 2024, 9:54 AM

#

ArkOS 480x320 is working fine.
I just wish this game had a save feature. It might be short, but my attention span is shorter.

normal ore Mar 19, 2024, 9:55 AM

#

yeah, and it also resets after a bit of no input

mossy coyote Mar 19, 2024, 9:56 AM

#

Resets as in?

normal ore Mar 19, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

sends you back to the beginning of the game as if you just started it up

#

just checked, it's after 30 seconds

#

of no input

mossy coyote Mar 19, 2024, 9:58 AM

#

May need to edit the game code then

normal ore Mar 19, 2024, 9:58 AM

#

it's intentional

mossy coyote Mar 19, 2024, 10:00 AM

#

normal ore it's intentional

Oh why so

normal ore Mar 19, 2024, 10:06 AM

#

as in, in the code there is a save function that only stores your best time and a reset function after 1800 frames (30 seconds), they're not bugs. just decisions from the creator, maybe influenced by the fact that it was made in a week

I would add something like "This is a short game, intended to be played in one sitting. Note that there is no save function and the game resets to the beginning after idling for 30 seconds"

#

you could change/patch out the 30 seconds thing quite easily, but implementing a save would be more work

mossy coyote Mar 19, 2024, 10:08 AM

#

normal ore as in, in the code there is a save function that only stores your best time and ...

I agree with this statement 🙂 or do you think patching out the 30s may be better?

#

Then will just put there is no save function

normal ore Mar 19, 2024, 10:15 AM

#

I'm not sure, it's a clear choice, but also a bad experience for the user

#

@tulip spade any opinion, patch or just note it?

It is crashing on my 353VS/Arkos

#

works on Ace/JELOS after adding export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/dri

normal ore Mar 19, 2024, 10:25 AM

glacial mesa It is crashing on my 353VS/Arkos

sudo: /opt/system/Tools/PortMaster/xdelta3: command not found

patching failed because of that, can you update portmaster to have xdelta3

wintry dawn Mar 19, 2024, 10:25 AM

#

glacial mesa It is crashing on my 353VS/Arkos

you might have an older portmaster, there is a bug where ArkOS wont update it.

glacial mesa Mar 19, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

ok, time to delete and do a clean install

wintry dawn Mar 19, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

or just use this: https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-GUI/releases/download/2024.03.19-0851/Install.PortMaster.sh

glacial mesa Mar 19, 2024, 12:09 PM

#

well that did not get the missing files and it behaved strangely.. so I removed all portmaster files from tools, reinstalled it.. and its still behaves weird... even when downloaded from the link, it wants itself to be updated to 2024.03.19-0851, but it doesnt seem to be able to do so

glacial mesa well that did not get the missing files and it behaved strangely.. so I removed ...

i had this happen to portmaster as well... i reinstalled x 2 i think

#

oh and it worked with the full portmaster install

glacial mesa Mar 19, 2024, 12:28 PM

#

That I tried as well to the same result. I will mess with it later when I get back home

wintry dawn Mar 19, 2024, 12:36 PM

#

@glacial mesa yeah thats the bug of the older version 😦

#

i fucked up with a path and now it tries to do something stupid

#

Use this new one i just updated: https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-GUI/releases/download/2024.03.19-1226/Install.PortMaster.sh

glacial mesa Mar 19, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

it still does that? I just manually copied missing files (a lot of them) from portmaster.zip and im done with that for now..

#

Anyway the game itself runs fine on 353VS (ARKOS,JELOS), OGA (ARKOS, JELOS) and Ace/JELOS, though on mainline Jelos (OGA, ACE) it needed export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/dri as with all gmloader games on mainline Jelos

RG 503 Works Fine on JELOS, in fullscreen.

Works perfectly on Amberelec (480x320)

Tried patching it out,.. and it dies... so just gonna put the statement of 30s
