Marco's Treasure Quest

[high isle]

That's My First Game ported for Chineses Handheld Consoles via PortMaster, I made that Port using the "Brad Has A Pain" Port as a base for My Port, That's a Little Adventure game that I made for testing RPG Maker VX Ace on my PC, It's my First Project on RPG Maker VX Ace after getting It on Steam.

Installing Instrucions:

1. Download the Port on my Github:
   https://github.com/smiluredev/MarcoTreasureQuest-Port/releases/tag/RC01

2. Extract the ZIP folder using WinRAR, 7Zip or any other other program for messing with ZIP/RAR files

3. Copy the file "MarcoTreasureQuest.sh" & the PortFolder called "marcotreasurequest" & Paste It to the "/roms/ports" directory in your console SD Card

4. After copying & pasting the files, Eject your console SD Card From your PC

5. Put your SD Card into your console & Run the Port (The Port Is Ready to Run!)

Controls:
D-Pad/Left Analog Stick = Move the player/UI
A = Interact / UI Confirm
B = Open Menu / UI Cancel
X/Y = Sprint
Start/Select = Shutdown Port

[shrewd patrol]

The testing chart is missing, steal it from a other port please!

[high isle]

Ok

[shrewd patrol]

Oh wow actually perfect metadata, don't see that everytime

[high isle]

Thanks, I'm Glad you liked it

Btw, I Just put the testing charts

[shrewd patrol]

Resolutions are missing

[high isle]

Oh ok

Just put it

Ok

Just updated it

[cosmic dust]

Welcome! Looks good 🙂
However, there are a few minor issues with the packaging. I've fixed those and attached an updated file. Specifically, I --

1. Restructured the package as required for adding to our repo (which is a slightly different structure than how the ports get downloaded/distributed).
2. Revised the screenshot.png to meet catalogue requirements (must be of gameplay at 4:3).
3. Set rtr (ready-to-run) to true in the JSON file.
4. Renamed the .sh as required for the catalogue (with spaces and title-case).
5. Added the license for the game itself (game.LICENSE), which PortMaster needs to show we have permission to distribute.
   You'll need to re-add the game files.

Otherwise, runs fine on my RG351V AmberELEC 👍

[high isle]

Oh oki, thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it & contributed to it

[abstract prairie]

This isn't Launching on MuOS

[high isle]

Just updated the port on Github using your contributions https://github.com/smiluredev/MarcoTreasureQuest-Port/releases/tag/RC02

[high isle]

Hmm

[cosmic dust]

These should all be in the root (next to the Marco's Treasure Quest.sh file:
README.md, port.json, screenshot.png, gameinfo.xml

[high isle]

Did you happen to copy the .sh file and the port folder to your ports folder on your SD card? (Note: you should copy the port folder, not the files inside it).

ah ok

[cosmic dust]

Please refer to a recent port if there's confusion. For example: https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/tree/main/ports/100liljumps
I think I mentioned that the way we store ports in the repo differs from how they are distributed 🙂. There is a step that automatically manages the conversion.

It's okay for now, but you'll need to have this correct for your pull request.

[cosmic dust]

This tester has had issues with other ports on MuOS, so there's a chance this is not an issue. Wait for a log.

[high isle]

ok

[high isle]

Just fixed that https://github.com/smiluredev/MarcoTreasureQuest-Port/releases/tag/RC02

[paper pecan]

(Still waiting for the log)

[cosmic dust]

Runs fine on my muOS handheld (RG40XXV)

(ver: AW Banana)

[abstract prairie]

This is ready to run, right?

I just got home from work. So I'll grab the log here in just a bit

[paper pecan]

Yeah

It's ready to run

(Just reposting the charts for updating it, because I can't edit it)

[abstract prairie]

Getting you the log from the 34xxsp right now

[paper pecan]

Ok

I'm waiting

[abstract prairie]

hm...

i dont have that runtime? no way

[paper pecan]

Strange, the runtime executable is installed on the portfolder

[abstract prairie]

no idea why it wont work

didnt run on rocknix either

[paper pecan]

If the port is running on other devices with muOS and AmberELEC, the problem may be with your SD card or your PortMaster installation. Try deleting the game folder and reinstalling. If the problem persists, check if your SD card is not the original factory one (which often causes read errors).

[abstract prairie]

my sd card is fine

[paper pecan]

do you tried to install it on the SD card using your phone?

[abstract prairie]

no

pc

[cosmic dust]

I'll test Rocknix my side

...

[paper pecan]

That's really strange, since it ran smoothly on RG40XXV (muOS) and RG351V (AmberELEC) for other testers. Since the 'No such file' error persists even with the file present, I wanted to ask you a favor so I can diagnose what the system is missing.

If you can access the console via SSH or use the system's Terminal, could you run these three commands inside the game folder and send me a print/text of the result?

• ls -l mkxp-z.aarch64

(So I can see the exact file permissions)

• file ./mkxp-z.aarch64

(To confirm if the system recognizes the binary's architecture)

• ldd ./mkxp-z.aarch64

(This is the most important: it will list all the libraries the game needs. If any appear as 'not found', I already know exactly which file I need to include in the port to fix this in your console).

Thanks a lot for the help with the playtest! Since it's a game I developed myself, I want to get it 100% ready before the official release!

[abstract prairie]

I hate my X55, Tab... it's so fucked

[cosmic dust]

✅ rgb30 rocknix

[abstract prairie]

thi is ready to run right?

[paper pecan]

Yeah, is it

[cosmic dust]

That's almost your whole *required* matrix ticked, @paper pecan -- the only other item needed is hi-res ... I'm afraid I don't own such a device. 320x240, Knulli, x86, etc. are optional.

[paper pecan]

Okay

[cosmic dust]

(although, I'm certain hi-res wouldn't be an issue given we've other ports like this that have passed)

Oh, wait ... I forgot ArkOS! That is required. Will test quick ...

[paper pecan]

Ok

Send me updates if it works.

[abstract prairie]

i cant even get a log on rocknix

theres no game data in the zip

just a license folder and the port files

[paper pecan]

Did you Downloaded it on the github releases Page?

Of the port

[abstract prairie]

i see the problem lol

you need to delete the link at the top post

[cosmic dust]

✅ rgb30 arkos

[paper pecan]

Yiiipeeeeee

So, What's the next step?

[cosmic dust]

you need a hi-res test

[paper pecan]

Hmm, ok

[cosmic dust]

(and once that's done, open a pull-request at https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New)

[paper pecan]

Ok

The problem is: i dont have a Handheld with Hi-res screen

[cosmic dust]

will need to wait on a tester who does 🙂

[paper pecan]

Oh ok

It's ok

Let's wait for it

[abstract prairie]

I got you

One sec

[paper pecan]

Ok

[abstract prairie]

Rocknix x55 High Res ✅

Start-select won't exit the game though

Had to reset

[paper pecan]

Oh oki, well, you can also shutdown the game using the game menu (press X to open the game menu & goes to "Game End" > "Shutdown"

[abstract prairie]

It needs to be able to exitbusing start-select

It's important

[paper pecan]

Oh yeah

that's strange, because the Start+Select exitbusing works in my R35S

[abstract prairie]

Start+Select work for you on rocknix? On your device?

[abstract prairie]

Rocknix?

[paper pecan]

AmberELEC

I'm actually using AmberElec

[paper pecan]

Hey, i just got a Hi-Res test, So can i submit the pull request?

[abstract prairie]

Start+Select does work on MuOS. Just not my X55 rocknixm weird

That X55 is fuckin JANKY though

[paper pecan]

Yeah, i understand, Some Powkiddy handheld are Kinda janky

[abstract prairie]

Mine uses to be great then one day it went to shot

[paper pecan]

Oh, that's sad

[cosmic dust]

sure

[paper pecan]

Ok

Do i really need to use git to do the pull request?, I'm on my Phone rn

I can't use git

[abstract prairie]

Use guthub browser

If you have the files on your phone

[paper pecan]

Okay

[abstract prairie]

Very doable

I edit and fix my ports on my android all the time

[paper pecan]

Just open the pull request
https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/pull/2221

[shrewd patrol]

Hey, why does it have 800 commits and what is the placeholder.txt. Opening the PR crashes my Web browser

[paper pecan]

Oh, sorry, i will delete this placeholder.txt

[paper pecan]

The 800 commits are because I couldn't use Git, because I was on my phone and couldn't upload the entire portfolder to GitHub from a browser, so I had to recreate the subfolders and the entire folder structure of the port and copy the files into it, but in the end I managed to import everything.

[shrewd patrol]

Oh that sounds painful

I would have zipped up the gamedata and let it extract

[paper pecan]

Yeah, worse than that, now I realize I could have done that lol

[paper pecan]

Yeah, that was very painful

[shrewd patrol]

You could have asked someone to do the PR for you...

Ill download the GitHub later and review it but firstly I need to celebrate new year

[paper pecan]

Oh ok

I'll celebrate the New year too

So, i can wait

[shrewd patrol]

@paper pecan You only removed the changes from Tabre but didnt do the required changes

[paper pecan]

I'll do the changes right now, let me test it first

[paper pecan]

I tested & it worked without the dll

Let me remove them from github

[shrewd patrol]

yup but i actually meant the changes to the port.json

[paper pecan]

Ah ok

I'll do it

[paper pecan]

Ah, I did the changes from tabreturn

Here is

I didn't even removed them, I just approved & did the changes.

I also just removed the unnecessary DLLs from the repository on GitHub.

https://github.com/smiluredev/PortMaster-New/blob/main/ports%2Fmarcotreasurequest%2Fport.json

[shrewd patrol]

Not showing up on my machine for some reason

[paper pecan]

It's showing for me

Try to reload github

[shrewd patrol]

I'll do it later

[paper pecan]

Ok

[shrewd patrol]

Oh yup now its looking good!

[paper pecan]

I'm glad it worked

It was good working with the portmaster.

Ehh, can you send me the revision again?, I didn't saw the revision

I just saw it

^^

What i do next?

[shrewd patrol]

wait, Tabre now needs to approve it and then its on PM. I dont see any more isssues

[paper pecan]

Oh ok

Let's wait

[high isle]

It just got approved ^^

[willow dune]

I just installed the port on EmuELEC and found a problem: the .sh file that is being installed (named: Marco's Treasure Quest.sh) does not have the same name as the name that is being written into gamelist.xml (MarcoTreasureQuest.sh). That is the reason the game won't start from Emulationstation...

[high isle]

Hmm, i will fix it

[willow dune]

By the way, you can add EmuELEC to the system list on which your port is running.

[high isle]

Hmm ok

I'll do it

[abstract prairie]

Please know, EmuElec is a bonus that it's running there, but it is NOT required to be PR'd.
