Works on RG35XX H, muOS. Loaded couple of games.
Tested "&" game. Intro looks awesome. But the games size tho. 50MB
Had to hit Select + A , A, Select + A , A to exit games

Thanks for testing 🙂 Yeah exiting is a bit annoying. It doesnt quite ignore the hotkey but its also not really listening properly😄

#

I could also split the games up into individual ports, the config allows for autorun and then the gptk hotkey also works. But so far compatibility seems good with the engine and the browser works fine too, so doing the whole engine like this makes sense i think.

So this is literally 500 different games? But they're all in this art style and same sort of concept?

Yeah there's a ton of them, most look like this but also some more modern looking ones

This one works but is a tad slow

#

Its basically its own game engine though
