PortMaster - TrimUI Beta

[ionic vortex]

Interesting to know how this filter is working yes 🙂

[zinc oriole]

I dont advertise it as it is useless..

[ionic vortex]

At least I see that you've thought of everything 😄

[zinc oriole]

The screen on this device is really nice 😄

[ionic vortex]

Yes, it's a device funny to tinker even with the limitations 😄

Oh nevermind i found the fix

[crude patrol]

Portmaster crashing on start

[crude patrol]

I deleted and pasted the portmaster folder in apps and it's working again

[ionic vortex]

May be a corrupted file ? I was about to suggest you to replace your app with trimui.portmaster.zip 😉

[crude patrol]

maybe it was since just replacing the files worked

[ionic vortex]

Hi @drifting turret , @zinc oriole It seems that ROOT has some success in the TrimUI community, I start to see many TSP with saturated internal storage.
As quick workaround we could make a if ! [ "${DEVICE_NAME}" = "TrimUI Smart Pro" ]; then to avoid to create the swapfile in ROTT and duke3dawo. (I think that it is a little emergency, I can make a PR if you need)

And it's probably also interesting that I set set XDG_DATA_HOME in CrossMix to avoid other problems. Imo everything from PortMaster should stay on the SD card but if necessary we also have /mnt/UDISK/ with 6GB of free storage on the TSP.

[drifting turret]

#1260853201461055539 is already on its way 🙂

[drifting turret]

I do that too now but not every port does adhere to xdg specs so we manually link to the port folder

[ionic vortex]

Hi, TSP users are asking where they have to open their issues about ports on TSP ?
On github ? Here on this discord ?

[drifting turret]

Best on discord #🩺｜port-help

or in here 🙂

what did i need for Apotris?

[ionic vortex]

Normally you don't need anything but Apotris is crashing after the title screen, I don't know why.

---

I'm starting a global review of all the "Ready to Run" ports, the objective is to improve the compatibility "out of box" on CrossMix OS.

I remark that games which requires gmloader are not present. This requires 32bit libs too ?

[zinc oriole]

This is a good goal, once you start fixing ports other ports will usually get fixed also.

[zinc oriole]

gmloader is 32bit

[ionic vortex]

========================================================================
So, after a full day of testing the "ready to run" ports, I have tested more than 300 games, checked the logs one by one and reported the behvior of each in a spreadsheet ! Now I have some stats for the TSP!

Of the 300 games tested, 54 require gmloader (which cannot work because it requires 32-bit libraries).
So my real pool of games is more based on 246 if we remove gmloader ones.

On 246 games:

• 172 are running correcly (I haven't deeply tested it, sometimes it requires some tuning on controls for example, but it runs)
• 36 have a bad path, generally due to the lack of source $controlfolder/control.txt line
• 15 have problems with libs (fewer than I was expecting)
• 23 have more complex problems (libc version, segfaults and different crashs)

All is reported in this spreadsheet.

I will fix the libs problems directly in CrossMix and I'll make a PR on PortMaster to fix bah path problems. We can therefore expect 223 out of 246 compatible games which is not bad.

Now the same effort should be done on ports which requires external assets but it's a lot more difficult to achieve 😅 .

========================================================================

[zinc oriole]

The 36 having a bad path is weird.

[ionic vortex]

Generally when I add source $controlfolder/control.txt if fixes the problem

[drifting turret]

The 32 bit ones should not have been visible right? Unless you installed the manually 😛

[ionic vortex]

I have installed manually from a local copy of the repo (otherwise it would have taken 3 days to install everything)

[drifting turret]

Wonder when we missed that control.txt was not being added

Have to do some greps when I'm home

[drifting turret]

Thanks for checking

When I got my teaspoon I started doing that for all my ports but on the 4th game with control problems i stopped

But now is a good time to resume

[ionic vortex]

Here the list (for "ready to run") where the path is not good (missing control.txt or sometimes other stuffs) :

7 "Ready to Run" ports fixed by adding missing libs :
https://github.com/cizia64/CrossMix-OS/commit/755c65a790a382b51ba96c61308cb013a4441889

---

For minetest / mineclonia there are a bunch of missing libraries but it seems that it requires same libs as "meandmyshadow" so may be it's better to add them in the port directly instead of the system ?

[ionic vortex]

---

For Apotris (which is crashing at title screen), flgr made more generic compilation flags for aarch64 and it seems more stable like this: https://gitea.com/akouzoukos/apotris/issues/90

---

For retroarch bad paths, I will fix it directly in CrossMix with a little script in /usr/bin/retroarch

[ionic vortex]

I don't understand anything of this game 😄 After a longer test, it runs but also crash when launching due to a lack of memory (it uses a lot of memory!). A swap file allows to launch a game (after a long loading)

[ionic vortex]

Thanks for that https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/pull/558 @zinc oriole 👍

[ionic vortex]

(RA path fix done, will be ready for next CrossMix update)

Ah classic trimui

Ill install it and see what it needs

Give me an hour or so😄

[peak zealot]

Okay delete "libtheora.so.0" in data/ports/ioawn4t/libs.aarch64

That will do it 🙂 @vivid quarry

[vivid quarry]

Thank you so much! its now working🙂

[peak zealot]

Awesome, do you have controls working too?

[vivid quarry]

but sadly the controls are not working

[peak zealot]

no worries theres a fix for that too

This replaces your current sh files in roms/ports

[vivid quarry]

Wow the controls are now working! Thank you so much for your time and effort🙂 I'm so glad i can now play this game on Trimui Smart Pro. @JanTrueno your amazing Thank you 🙏

[peak zealot]

Good to hear, that control fix should be on crossmix soon. Have fun😄

Wow even more😐

Like a ton of other games on the trimui, its just adding libs until it stops complaining

[drifting turret]

Did you use cross mix os?

[vivid quarry]

No, I'm using the stock OS

[drifting turret]

Try using cross mix he added tons of libs for portmaster compatibility

Try using cross mix he added tons of libs for portmaster compatibility

[peak zealot]

twice?

[vivid quarry]

I still prefer the stock OS since its more simple to navigate

[drifting turret]

Isn't cross mix mostly the same just added stuff?

Did you try it?

[vivid quarry]

Yes, I tried it, but a lot of changes have been made I'm actually more comfortable with using the Stock OS with less stuff

[ionic vortex]

Hi, @obtuse fractal is using box64 to run shovel knight on TSP : #1054333456928219167 message there's still some work but the experimentation is very interesting 😉

[iron belfry]

So minetest issues: some libraries missing, but anyway binary is bugged so gonna rebuild it. Also as we can't see the mouse + i don't understand buttons, hard to start a game to test gameplay x/

I would like to know if it work on others devices ^^'

[ionic vortex]

@drifting turret @zinc oriole Hi, I think we are going to have more participation from motivated people on PostMaster + TSP.
What's the process when we fix a port for the TSP ?
I mean we have to determine each time if the missing libs should be integrated in the lib folder from the port or in CrossMix directly.
Then if we build a new binary, how can we validate that this one is working with all the devices compatible with PortMaster ? Do we make a PR first and then wait that all the device owners validate this PR ?

[drifting turret]

If a new binary or new lib is added to a port it needs revalidation on the different cfws. We make a thread for that and call our port navigators for testing.

[ionic vortex]

The thread is created by the dev himself or it comes from you ?

[drifting turret]

Whoever updates the port

[ionic vortex]

I suppose that if we find an existing old thread for this port under 'testing-n-dev" we use it.

[drifting turret]

Yeah for example

But does not happen a lot that a port is updated ^^

But we try to keep compile instructions in the ports readme

[ionic vortex]

I think that most of the modifications will be libs and launch script indeed, but a new binary could happen time to time.

It could be nice to have a kind of listing of all the libs available on all compatible OS, like that we could know if the lib should be added in the port itself or now (I know I know, I have dreams).

Thanks for the clarification !

[drifting turret]

I'm afraid its not as simple as that

each cfw may have the same lib but still compiled in a different way

and each library may have their own dependencies

So it is really necessary to test the individual cfws

If i add one lib too many it may lead to 10 new needed libs on a cfw

[main osprey]

Latest SOH and SOH 2 from Port master started working when libpng16.so.16 and libz.so.1 are added

In SOH I can't make controls to work and SOH 2 slows down

does anyone have SOH 2 configuration file that makes game less demanding ?

I managed to enter configuration menu and reduce resolution but but game is just to slow

[iron belfry]

Switch to soh thread, we are actually working on it for tsp ^^

[neat ginkgo]

Hey! Recently got a TSP and been trying out Portmaster using CrossMix. I tried to run VCMI (Heroes of Might and Magic 3) and out of the box it did not work. However with a bit of tweaking to the bash file, I managed to get it running (turns out we can't use bash arrays). I'd really like to submit this fix so other users can benefit, but I'm not sure the best way to do this! Can I get some guidance?

[drifting turret]

https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/tree/main/ports/vcmi

[neat ginkgo]

Hero, thank you! I'll make a PR

[weary hill]

First of all, thank you Kloptops and anyone else who is involved in developing Portmaster - it's a really great app! Also, thank you to cizia64 and the other community members for development of CrossMix OS - I'm absolutely loving it on my new TrimUI Smart Pro.

I just finished setting up and testing all the games and stuff and found a few things that I'd like to share with the hope of continued improvement of this great combo. I'll share them here in little sections.

Game Testing Issues

1. Mojotron fails upon launch on my device. Here is a picture of the log.

2. Hex-A-Hop: Controls aren't mapped to the device, with the exception of the up and down arrows to the d-pad. The tutorial states that this game uses qwe, add, zxc, for directions. I couldn't find a way to re-map the controls

3. Eity: Controls on the main menu screen aren't mapped - however you can still use the left analog stick as a mouse and one of the push buttons to select the menu item to start the game.
   However the in-game controls are handled through the right analog stick. This might be intentional or it might be an oversight/too complicated to adjust.

[drifting turret]

There are no main menu controls in eity beside mouse

Its often that case for games

so mouse is mapped

If you check the gptk files you can see the control schemes

Always check the gptk file most ports use gptokeyb and a custom gptk file

ingame key will almost never match since we have abxy keys and not keyboard control

check the readmes on the website for control mappings also

At the beginnging of portmaster we didn't add them to readmes but now we do

[weary hill]

3. BYTEPATH: The game description and image on portmaster.games.html shows that this game is a retro-style shooter. However upon launching the game, it seems that it is a command-prompt puzzle game.

Perhaps this is intentional and the game design is meant to lock the retro-shooter behind a puzzle game? However if that is the case, perhaps the description should give some kind of a heads up or hint about it that so people aren't confused.

[drifting turret]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/760330/BYTEPATH/

check the steam readme

simiilar to ours

I think you just mean the starting skill menu

https://youtu.be/gkXSHOQAfVI?t=57

[weary hill]

Huh, the game starts with a command line interface? I selected start without any success. I guess it's just a weird interface but working as intended.

[drifting turret]

yeah rather weird

[weary hill]

File Structure/Getting Started
So I chose to start with a blank SD card for my installation. After some tinkering I made the following discoveries, which were not documented on the Port master website or the CrossMix-OS GitHub.

1. The zip files from Port master come with a folder and an .sh file. Within the folder is at least one image file, which can be used as the game art within the Port emulator in the Smart Pro. However the folder, .sh file, and image file all need to go in different places.

The folder goes in Data/ports
The .sh file goes in Roms/Ports
The image file goes in Imgs/PORTS

2. The image file must match the exact naming convention of the .sh file, not the folder file, and the image files found in the folder aren't named by this convention already - rather they are named "screenshot" or "cover"

The image name is case-sensitive

[drifting turret]

This is handled automatically by installing a game trough the Portmaster App. If you don't have internet you need to drop the game.zip in the Portmaster autoinstall folder and run Portmaster. Since trimui does not have emulationstation this is very early and experimental

But this is an OS thing not really pm thing. Some time ago we didn't have images for the frontends at all 🙂

[weary hill]

3. The image file must be a .PNG, however the following games have a . jpg included in the game folder, which doesn't work. (There may be more, these are just the ones I tested/installed)

Alchemy Quest
Open Alchemist
Beat (aka PixelHeat)
Bugscraper
Cliff hanger
DomeRomantik
Eity
Heboris-sdl
Wide lands
Strange Adventures in Infinite Space

[weary hill]

Good to know. I do have Internet on the Smart Pro, however I decided to install the files ahead of time on a SD card while waiting for the smart pro to arrive from China.

There is a section on portmaster.games/faq entitled "Do I have to use Port master to install ports?" where it mentions that you just unzip the download contents to /Roms/ports. There is no mention of moving the main folder to data/ports, or of moving images to Imgs/ports.

Perhaps there could be a section here clarifying the correct procedure if you are using a smart pro.

[drifting turret]

yeah that some old info need to update that

[weary hill]

Also, using the port master app within Crossmix OS doesn't update the game art images within the Ports emulator on the smart pro, so the manual option seems to be the only way

[drifting turret]

this was mainly for the main cfws amberelec/rocknix/arkos before trimui and muos

[drifting turret]

There is a refresh metadata option in pm

[drifting turret]

The images thing is a pure os thing with its quirks

[weary hill]

Gotcha! I know Crossmix for smart pro is new and in development - I hope this doesn't come off as being critical or anything. I really appreciate the option and want to report what I've found here as you continue developing

[drifting turret]

Mind trimuis is still not supported by Portmaster so not having the info on the website

[weary hill]

Got it, should I get in touch with the Crossmix person to share any of this info?

[drifting turret]

@ionic vortex is right here 🙂

[weary hill]

I did try this option however the game images did not update for me.

[drifting turret]

yeah then not implemented. 🙂

trimui stock is a clusterf* tbh 😛

Needs some improvement

so did not help when we tried to add initial support

needs more work

[weary hill]

Miscellaneous

1. There are some random folder files showing up in the "port" emulator that I didn't put there.

2. Likewise there are some .zip files in the Data/ports folder that I didn't add. The only thing I've dropped into this folder are the .sh files. Trying to open the .zip files yields an error

[drifting turret]

That's trimui os for you 😄

[drifting turret]

names?

[weary hill]

Checking, sorry .zip files are in Roms/PORTS. But I've only placed.sh files there.

[drifting turret]

But whats the name of the zip files?

[weary hill]

They are names of some of the game zip files, which I didn't add

And opening them gives this error

I can navigate through the uncompressed folders with no problem - but again I didn't add these. Maybe the metada refresh or Roms refresh added them somehow

[drifting turret]

how big?

Never heard of this

well we have some ports that have compressed folders inside the port itself

but no zip

you can check with portmasterapp / pugwash log file

to see if these names are mentioned there

[weary hill]

The zips are;
LABYRI~1 : 48,996 kb
maximilien_adventure 21,781 kb
Mojotron 2,367 kb
Mrrescue 13,914 kb
Strangeadventures 8,370 kb

Okay, searching the pugwash log for "Maximilien" I find 3 entries:
All dated 2024-08-18 | DEBUG| main:update_gamelist_xml:1386 - -

[drifting turret]

yeah that does not get downloaded from "update metadata" or something

for 400 mb you would have been in the gui downloading for 20 mins or so

you would have noticed

[weary hill]

Skipping maximilien_adventure/cover.png
Skipping maximilien_adventure/screenshot.png
Skipping maximilien_adventure/gameinfo.xml

Some different messages for the other games. Let me switch to a PC, easier to just copy paste some of this stuff

Also, the port master app currently crashes after "loading sources" but I can still play games with the port emulator. One moment

Back

Here's what I found in the pugwash log for c-dogs:

[weary hill]

sure thing

[drifting turret]

How many ports have you installed?

[weary hill]

about 32

[drifting turret]

So as I said wide lands is 450mb big

That does not get downloaded in 1 min over pm

Did you try to install it?

[weary hill]

Yes, and it is working. When I was still figuring out which files went where, I did have all of the zips in the rom folder. However I have since deleted them and put the right files in the right folders. Perhaps these zips are some kind of left over?

[drifting turret]

Yeah

[weary hill]

It seems like all I need in the roms/PORTS folder are the .sh files. So maybe I could just delete the zips and the folders in there. Just wasn't sure if they had been added by some kind of update and didn't want to bork anything

[drifting turret]

Would not look in pm

Yeah just delete

[weary hill]

One last thing - also thank you so much for your responses! Right now PortMaster is crashing upon launch, would you like me to share any logs for that before I reinstall?

[drifting turret]

[odd dock]

@ionic vortex can i know the location of Bluetooth in what folder? Cuz my TrimUI Crossmix 1.2.1 bluetooth controller got delayed, the older vesion isn't. So is it possible for me to patch the old Bluetooth version to 1.2.1 version?

[urban adder]

Is there a way to get the TSP to run at lower clocks? I've been trying to edit the cpufreq.sh and performance.sh files (based on GUIOpen's findings), but the device seems to keep running at max frequency. I've set my LEDs to change color based on CPU speed (from CrossMix system tools), and they turn red (speed >1900 MHz) when starting a game (plus the device starts feeling noticeably warm) on any emulator.

[urban adder]

Nope, I move the switch to the opposite site from FN, and unchecked all options in the FN-key menu. I did everything GUIOpen said in the guide.

[urban adder]

Actually no Turns out I had mistakenly pressed the A key when messing around in that menu. So the only option that was deactivated was the "Disable LED" one. Performance mode was still on Could've sworn I had it off.

[polar aspen]

Hi, does anyone have the Ship of Harkinian or Render96Ex working on their Triumi Smart Pro? I've been trying for two days, but I can't launch these apps on my TSP. Here's my log. Thanks!

[iron belfry]

We can only use compatibility version of ship of arkinian ( which is really slow (unplayable))

Don't remember if I got any missing lig with render i'll check when I'll be able to.

[polar aspen]

Thank you for your response! I appreciate you checking on that. I’ll wait for a fix or update.

[wary lance]

bash: you need to specify whom to kill - "whom" makes this a bit too ominous

[polar aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/goldeneye-007-james-bond-n64-gif-27532309

You’re right, 'whom' does sound a bit ominous! Maybe the next game to be integrated into Portmaster should be GoldenEye 007—after all, Bond knows a thing or two about targets!

[odd dock]

kinda not relevant but which version should i put in to run Brotato port? linux, window, steam?

[peak zealot]

curious when this guy can

i think he is using the Godot Megapack

cuz the name is BrotatoV2, same with the folder in Godot_Megapack

[peak zealot]

Some unofficial port. I put a lot of effort into the game but it ended up not running well enough.

[odd dock]

i think this is kinda worth to test, which version should i use for it?

[peak zealot]

I used the windows steam one, but it needs to be patched so no clue what theyre using. Probably just illegally distributing the patched version. Were not affiliated with these people and their ports.

A bit off-topic, but has anyone found a way to remove the menu tabs (favorites and recent) on the Trimui Smart Pro?

[thorn nova]

the person who posted this video routinely provides no info. the trimui subreddit had to add new rules specifically aimed at this annoying individual (https://www.reddit.com/r/trimui/comments/1fm4zkl/two_new_rules_has_been_added_rule_5_and_rule_6/)

best to just ignore people like this, and don't share anything they post 🙂

My OpenTyrian didnt work on TSP Crossmix, dkw

I can enter the game but when choosing something it got crashed

[sage stump]

I can’t find portmaster under emulator for some reason, anyone know how to fix it

[sage stump]

I tried looking for port master under emulator section, but it is not there

[sage stump]

The issue is I can’t find ports under emulator tab for some reason, I have the port folder under the emu folder

[drifting turret]

Wrong tab 🙂

[sage stump]

How do I play the games, is it not through the emulator tab?

I can open portmaster under apps but I can’t play the games lol 😂

[wary lance]

Personally, I've had issues with port installation on TSP (Crossmix) that I avoid Apps > Portmaster and do it all via PC. Launching ports is indeed from Emulators > Ports menu on TSP.

/sdcard/Data/Ports/ for all game files/folders
/sdcard/Roms/PORTS/ for all .sh files

[drifting turret]

You are using cross mix right? And did not previous install tomato stuff right?

[sage stump]

I changed the setting in portmaster, the games are under the ports tab now

Another issue, I tried to copy the game files from steam game to the data folder, but it is giving me error, is the SD card corrupted?

[drifting turret]

What error? Are you using stock China SD cards?

[iron belfry]

Gonna share the gptokeyb2 issue here too, has it happen on tsp for me :
#🔹｜aarch64 message

until fix, if a game use gptokb2, just switch to gptokeyb if the mapping allow it.
Else rename the lib file and you may also need to add portmaster path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the game launcher

[main osprey]

Did anyone managed to make Ion Fury working ?

[iron belfry]

@hidden wharf Just looked back at your PR https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/pull/865 as i was wondering if the libs was already added to portmaster-gui repo and noticed you expect libraries to be in controlfolder.
Tho, on TSP, the control folder is in internal memory ( which is pretty limited in size and only contain the control.txt file for us) as i am wondering if it is the better location for the libs.

[hidden wharf]

That’s a work in progress, feel free to comment on it 🙂

[iron belfry]

^^ sure, i'll think about it. Just though that discussion will be faster on discord than gthrough github comments. Mainly want to point you to potential issue for tsp ( internal memory fullfilled by libs even if i don't know how heavy will be the libs folder)

( my tsp rootfs is actually 46% fullfilled for ~250Mo total space so i think we have some place but that still some less space available in rootfs ^^)

hey guys, trying to gun Gravity Circuit on Knulli, version is 1.2.0c, it starts fine but crashes hard after showing a fullscreen grid background

no error message

Running in UINPUT output mode.
../Gravity Circuit.sh: line 51: 10436 Killed                  ./bin/love ./gamedata
../Gravity Circuit.sh: line 54: systemctl: command not found
[root@BATOCERA /userdata/roms/ports/gravitycircuit]#```

it just… dies, apparently

[wary lance]

If you're still working through this - I've had prior issues with unzip through PM and have done it manually for most titles. I have not tested on Knulli, either. May also just be a failed patch. If you self-extract, will need to edit Gravity CIrcuit.sh to let PM patch the game on initial launch.

I'm using PortMaster on CrossMix-OS and I'm finding that the A and B buttons are swapped. Which GUID does this device use in gamecontrollerdb.txt?

[supple briar]

Planning on buying Brick, would I just be ok to install Portmaster if I just use MUos?

[drifting turret]

Brick does not support muos

Also brick has the same compatibility issues as tsp in regards to pm

[stray ocean]

Hi, I cannot run Celeste on Trimui Smart Pro and CrossMixOS, the game starts and crashes after a while with an ALSA error

Anyone can help me?

[safe ivy]

2025-05-18 16:58:38.864 user.notice procd: /mnt/SDCARD/Roms/PORTS/Sonic Time Twisted.sh: source: line 16: can't open '/roms/ports/PortMaster/control.txt': No such file or directory Wonder why it's looking in here on the Brick

But not on the SmartPro

[safe ivy]

Oh ik why

# from ex_update.sh
mkdir -p /roms/ports/PortMaster/
cp /mnt/SDCARD/Apps/PortMaster/PortMaster/control.txt /roms/ports/PortMaster/control.txt

Trying to find the best way to do it without writing to flash

Could use XDG_DATA_HOME but not sure if any ports use that to store stuff

[drifting turret]

tons

[safe ivy]

Yea i just had to manually copy over

[iron belfry]

It also look here on smart pro

[covert flume]

Hi, I've installed the TMNT Shredders Revenge game. But I haven't been able to get it to display in full screen; it only appears in the lower left corner of my TRIMUI. I wanted to ask if you know what I should change to get it to display correctly. I have CROSSMIX installed, and I'm having this problem. Thanks.

Jagged Alliance 2 (stracciatella) just showed up on the portmaster games list for TSP. I tried to install using gog install exe and install directory, no luck on either. Screen glitch showing the portmaster loading jagged alliance 2 present throughout and had to restart the TSP to stop the screen glitching.

[full shuttle]

I had this same problem. Changing ingame display mode to Exclusive Fullscreen and resolution to 1280x720 did the trick for me 🙂

[full shuttle]

i have this same problem with windows game ports (for example Balatro & GTA VC). A&B buttons and Y&X buttons. In Balatro.sh there is line:
if [ "${DEVICE_NAME}" = "TrimUI Smart Pro" ] || [ "${DEVICE_NAME}" = "TrimUI Brick" ]; then
sed -i 's/self.F_SWAP_AB_BUTTONS = false/self.F_SWAP_AB_BUTTONS = true/g'
sed -i 's/self.F_SWAP_XY_BUTTONS = false/self.F_SWAP_XY_BUTTONS = true/g'
But that doesnt seem to do anything. No matter how i tweak it. I also tried to edit gamecontrollerdb.txt without success. Did you find any solution for this?

[weary portal]

that sed cmd needs the file to modify after it (did that part get cut off?)

also, does the btns work as expected if you hardcode to true in the related file?
