lowres needs to be excluded, the game tries admirably to adjust, but many UI elements just overlap each other

kk

#

some dialogue screens dont entirely fit into 640x480 screen, for example when you first contact new sla.. I mean tribes, they ask you for a peace treaty and the "yes" button is cutoff

sullen pike
#

but needs to suffice 😄

spice thistle
#

well its free, I would be more concerned if it was a paid game

sullen pike
#

Basic Testing complete, ready for PR if no one has any more suggestions

Oh man, I wanted to contribute to this, seems like y'all knocked out all testing in like 4 hours haha.

Very excited to see this on PM! Thanks for porting it

sullen pike
#

low res is excluded but you can't really make it any smaller else you won't be able to read anything

brittle dome
#

I'll see if I can complete a mission or two to check off that mid-game checkbox

sullen pike
#

Yeah no idea how to play it

brittle dome
#

Also I think Knulli on TSP is worth testing

sullen pike
#

and with what combo it's a bit uhm difficult right now 😄

#

At least we state it in the PR what has been tested

brittle dome
#

I dream of a sliding scale filter of performance. Like, some people might be fine with playing a game at 10fps, others might be annoyed at anything below a locked 60.

sullen pike
#

Yeah

Just run it without an sdcard in.

brittle dome
#

wait what?

polar nacelle
#

Use adb to grab the files

#

It has a 4gb Emmc

#

Stock os lives on that

brittle dome
#

TIL

#

oh man the stock frontend feels like one of those cheap mp4 players

polar nacelle
#

Lmao

spice thistle

#

And made a decent os

#

Added l3 and r3

#

More ram

#

Uhhh

spice thistle
#

and better soc

#

and call themselves retroid

polar nacelle
#

Other than that it’s good

#

Best combo is SteamDeck, RP5 (with grips), and 40xx v.
