Adam Image (ODBeta) compatible game ports

[neilswann80]

EN: Game list now moved to the main WIKI

ES: Lista de ports de juegos movidos al WIKI principal

If you have suggestions for other compatible ports not already listed, please add links to them below

With thanks to JORGETECH, Juanmote & a-dekker for all their work in testing and recompiling these ports.
Many of the games were found thanks to the repositories of Jakz, SeongGino & RafaVico

[JORGETECH]

I'm in the process of creating an spreadsheet document with compatibility information for ports and standalone games, when I finish testing (this week or the next one) I'll upload my results to a GitHub repo and link it here.

I already tested half of the packages I selected and I can say most of them work without issue but some will need repackaging to include missing libraries (something I did some time ago to fix Tecnoballz) and others will need a recompilation with the newer buildroot.

[neilswann80]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, but I just get a black screen and nothing more. Worked fine on OD, but not since I moved to ODBeta.

I'm using the OPK from HERE
Are you using a newer one perhaps?

[neilswann80]

Nope... just me being an idiot.

My DUKE3D.GRP was all in caps for some reason. Changed that and it's straight in!

I've been without Duke in my life for an embarrassing amount of time because of that snafu.

(I must have figured that out previously, forgotten, but not altered my game backup folder.)

[SuperBadger77]

If by "adding to the standard build" you mean submitting them for inclusion for Adam then no because there are way too many packages and it would bloat the system (I'm testing almost every port and standalone game available). But after I'm done with testing I'll try to repackage the ones that fail with missing libraries and upload them to the relevant GitHub package directories. Then I'll investigate on which ones could be fixed by recompiling.

Ah was hoping they’d be in the base image but I get the bloat issue. I guess if people want them then they can download them. How are you going to let people know when it’s ready? Looking forward to seeing them up and running 😄

[JORGETECH]

@SuperBadger77 Actually, I'm almost done with the document. I'll share it in this thread through a GitHub repo, and I will link it in relevant Discord channels.

EDIT: The time estimate for the fixed ports will be "when it's done" since I don't how long it could take. Of course, more people could get involved in fixing them, that's the reason I started making a compatibility list.

[nlboom]

@JORGETECH on RG280V with Adam Image v1.4.2, Eduke32 freezes ofter first level pass. During the calculation of statistics, despite the inscription "Press any key", the game stops responding to anything.

I have a local copy of it. If you give me somewhere to upload it to I will post it.

[a-dekker]

Why not just download it from the Onedrive collection mentioned in the wiki? That is created to prevent opks floating around everywhere.

[DenverGamer]

Oh ok, I will try to find it. I managed to make my own SM64 Opk, I'm not super tech savvy, but I get by, LOL

[DenverGamer]

I have a local copy of it. If you give me somewhere to upload it to I will post it.

Looks like get GitHub does not have a direct messaging system? I would shoot you my email or something. But I will try to figure it out. Thank you so much.

I found it in the Wiki, that helped so much! Thank you!

[JORGETECH]

Hi to all, I have finally finished my compatibility list. I tried to make it as complete as possible but suggestions are welcome of course.

You can find the spreadsheet documents in OpenDocument Format (for LibreOffice) and Office Open XML (for MS Office) in this GitHub repository: https://github.com/JORGETECH/od-beta-ports-compat-list-spreadsheet

[JORGETECH]

The link should work now, I didn't do Markdown properly.

[a-dekker]

Your spreadsheet says VVVVVV is broken, but it works fine here. Don't forget to place data.zip in /media/data/local/home/.local/share/VVVVVV/

[neilswann80]

@a-dekker is correct, VVVVVV is working on my RG350M with data.zip added to ~/.local/share/VVVVVV

I've added a link to this game to my initial post also. I did notice the game doesn't seem to quit cleanly, needs a reset. Did you experience this also?

[a-dekker]

@neilswann80, indeed, most of the time VVVVVV does not exit properly and a reset is needed.

[a-dekker]

Super Mario War is marked as broken, but has a release that works on OD-beta https://gitlab.com/gameblabla/gameblabla-releases/-/raw/master/opk/gcw0/smw_gcw0.opk?inline=false

[SuperBadger77]

@JORGETECH is there an easy way to download all of the ports or all of the working ones?

[neilswann80]

@SuperBadger77 Quite a lot of them are available...
HERE (Jakz)
and HERE (SeongGino)
and also HERE (RafaVico)

[SuperBadger77]

Cool - are these the ones that are compatible? There's not a separate list for ones recompiled for OD Beta? I'll double check the xls later on after work.

[neilswann80]

It'll be a mix of everything, so you'll need to cross-reference with @JORGETECH's work.

When I have time (and if @JORGETECH doesn't beat me to it) I'll create a list of links for the games that work. I think everything listed (at least so far) is working without recompilation.

[neilswann80]

FYI... added links to first post.

[JORGETECH]

Thanks for the positive feedback on my list! The next step is trying to repackage OPKs that complain about missing libraries, something I'll try to do myself in the next days and I will publish fixed OPKs in existing OPK GitHub repos (like RafaVico's and Jakz's repos). I'll update my progress here.

[neilswann80]

I noticed there is a Quake3 Libretro core for Linux64: vitaquake3_libretro.so
But nothing for ODBeta as yet

[JORGETECH]

I think that Retroarch for OpenDingux is not being compiled with OpenGL ES support in this moment, I don't know why since there shouldn't be any problem with newer OpenDingux.

Maybe we should ask the libretro team it they can try enabling GL ES on their end.

[neilswann80]

@JORGETECH Your spreadsheet has OpenLara down as broken, but it's working for me using this OPK

[JORGETECH]

@neilswann80 Thanks for the tip, I'll try with that OPK. I also need to test Devilution again since I didn't copy the files properly.

[neilswann80]

The latest version of Devilution definitely works, link in my initial post. @Juanmote also provided a more recent version of Streets of Rage Remake

[SuperBadger77]

Don't suppose anyone has the .previews images for these they could share? I can't get them to work with a system on screenscraper.

[neilswann80]

I don't think screenscrapers are going to work for game ports rather than actual console games... I'm happy to be proven wrong though! :)

For the ports I have I've just downloaded individual images from the web and converted them to .png

[SuperBadger77]

If you already have them, any chance you could zip them all up and post them here? Save me a horrendous job of getting 100+ images :-)

[Juanmote]

I made images for each port that has worked for me, at night I upload them all compressed in a zip

[neilswann80]

I only have about 10 ports on my device... but sure, I can pass them on to you...

@Juanmote what a hero!

[Juanmote]

Here's the pack:

https://dropmefiles.com/TF07n

As a trick for some ports, with Power + X you take a screenshot. Although it does not work with all ports.

Sorry for my English, I have it quite rusty and I use the translator a lot.

But I answer here my user in telegram is https://t.me/Juanmote which is where we talk about Team Rparadise.

Ciao

[neilswann80]

I discovered there was an additional 39 games in @JORGETECH's spreadsheet that were not included in @Juanmote's list, so I've added links to these in my initial post. All the newly added games start with an asterisk *

Happy gaming folks!

[Juanmote]

Great, I have found the website of a game creator with versions for opendingux. When I have time I have to try them. The Treasure Chaser looks very good.

http://www.crait.net/

[neilswann80]

Looks like there are 3 OpenDingux ports (as yet untested on Adam Image), they are:
* Treasure Chasers
* Circuit Dude
* Midnight Wild

If they work on Adam I'll add them to my initial post. Nice find @Juanmote

EDIT: Tested all 3, they work well, added to the initial post.

[Medard22]

Can anyone test OpenTyrian on RG350M? It won´t start and crashes immediately. Also AnotherWorld starts, but it often loves to freeze randomly.

[a-dekker]

I did create a odbeta version of OpenTyrian for the RG350M for myself. It is a bit hackish and a normal RG350 could have scaling issues (not tested).

I uploaded it here: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/blob/OpenTyrian-ODBeta-RG350M/Open%20Tyrian.opk

First time you start you need to fix the display yourself by selecting: OpenTyrian -> Scaler: hq2x
P.s. there is a small black bar on the bottom, but that is because of the original aspect ratio.

Bonus tip: press 'start' during gameplay to pause the game. Then select Detail Level "Wild" for the most details. The CPU has enough power for this mode.

[neilswann80]

@a-dekker Thanks again! Also added to initial post.

[Medard22]

@neilswann80 I will try to test Another World a bit more.
@a-dekker Thanks, I will definitely try it. Tyrian is awesome and I missed it a lot on OD Beta.

[Medard22]

@neilswann80 I checked Another World again, I should have read the readme file inside the opk in the first place :) The A button is a pause so that´s my "freezing" issue. Select is used to exit the app, but this port doesn´t seem to exit gracefully, it rather hangs and eventually the OS shutdowns itself. So Power+Select works much better ^^b

[neilswann80]

Glad AW is working for you. Such an iconic game. I remember being captivated by it whilst watching my cousin play it on his Amiga 500. That and Turrican were the first (other than cheap LCD handhelds) computer games I was exposed to. I don't think I've been that drawn into the story of a game with an intro again, other than perhaps the first Half-Life.

Tyrian (Uploaded by @a-dekker) works really nicely after setting the scaling as outlined which stops the initial glitching.

[a-dekker]

I compiled Overheated for odbeta. Created a PR in https://github.com/JORGETECH/repackaged-opks, but for now it can be downloaded here https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/blob/overheated/overheated.opk

[neilswann80]

Nice work @a-dekker, added a link to my initial post!

[a-dekker]

Fixed Super Transball 2 for ODBeta: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/stransball2/stransball2.opk

[a-dekker]

And the last bunch I managed to fix for OD-beta:
Jump n Blob: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/Jump-n-Blob/jnb.opk
SameGoo: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/SameGoo/SameGoo.opk
Tile Word: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/TileWorld/Tile%20World.opk
Zelda - Navi's Quest 1.6: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/Zelda-NSQ/Zelda%20-%20Navi's%20Quest%201.6.opk

[neilswann80]

How do you begin diagnosing a game that doesn't launch in ODBeta? Can logs be generated that give you a clue to as to whether the problem is permission, library path or toolchain etc? Thanks for the info!

[Medard22]

This is something that interests me as well. And, by the way, thank you for your work. There is a lot of abandoned Open Dingux software that does not work properly on OD Beta; it´s fantastic that you can fix at least some of them.

[eduardofilo]

How do you begin diagnosing a game that doesn't launch in ODBeta? Can logs be generated that give you a clue to as to whether the problem is permission, library path or toolchain etc? Thanks for the info!

To this I dare say that what you can do is to unsquash the opk and pass it to the handheld. Then launch the binary (or the command that is encoded within the exec parameter of the .desktop) from a terminal on the PC via SSH. Before doing so, open the Terminal application on the handheld to free up the SDL space. You should see in your SSH terminal the output of the binary showing the problems.

[a-dekker]

I work exactly the same way as Eduardo just described.

[neilswann80]

Excellent! Thanks both. Now to start tinkering! :-)

[a-dekker]

While I am in the flow a few more:

Total Devastation 2 https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/some_more_odbeta_fixed/TotalDevastation2R.opk
See, https://boards.dingoonity.org/gcw-releases/(gcw-zero)-total-devastation-2-rebirth/ , sort of a streetfighter homebrew game.

Skull https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/some_more_odbeta_fixed/Skull.opk
See https://boards.dingoonity.org/gcw-releases/(gcw-zero)-skull/ , a 2D platformer, intro music a bit distored.

Ghouls 'n Ghosts Remix: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/some_more_odbeta_fixed/ggr_056.opk
For RG350M users: set the resolution to 640x480 in the video menu and restart the game

Open Sonic: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/some_more_odbeta_fixed/opensonic.opk
For RG350M users: set the resolution to "normal" in the options menu.
Be aware that the game does not run at full speed.

[nlboom]

@a-dekker Unfortunately it didn't help. It would be nice if someone corrected the code.

[a-dekker]

Maybe you could upload the sav file from /media/data/local/home/.eduke32 with the state just before your issue occurs. At least I then can confirm we have the same issue.

[nlboom]

@a-dekker Here is the save-file. The game freezes like on a scoring screen.
egam0.zip

[a-dekker]

Good news @nlboom , I think I fixed the issue! Select or B will now allow you to continue to the next level.
I have updated https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/main/EDuke32.opk so you can test for yourself.

[nlboom]

@a-dekker Thanks. Your fix was helped. Score screen now can skipped.

[a-dekker]

The list of compatible games says Vectoroids should work, but it does not on my RG350M.
I created an adapted version for a 640x480 resolution: https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/vectoroids/vectoroids.opk. The intro menu is still a bit small, but the game is fine.

[neilswann80]

Good spot! I've updated my initial post for Vectoroids with your link.

[a-dekker]

Just replaced the Vectoroids opk by a new one, menu is now also adapted for 640x480.

[neilswann80]

Yep, that works nicely!

[neilswann80]

I've consolidated all the preview images for the game ports into a single zip and added images for the recently added games. There's a link at the beginning of the list.

[a-dekker]

OpenTitus is not on the list, but still works: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwYi4RGX-HSabWNXbF9YSHZOY2s/edit?usp=sharing
It needs the original data in ~/.titus
And Toki 2 also works out of the box: https://www.mediafire.com/?2wckl457tcoomlf

Alex the Allegator 4 (or just Alex 4) is a platform game released in 2003 by Free Lunch Design AB. The game was released for PC (Windows / Linux / BeOS) and Macintosh.

In the game, you play the title alligator Alex. Your task is to free your girlfriend Loli before people make shoes from her. As in similar games of this type, Alex can "kill" enemies by jumping on them.

Alex 4 is a retro-styled game. Classic gameplay (similar to Mario Bros, Giana Sisters) can appeal to fans of this type of games.

This release is recently converted from the allegro library to SDL2 (https://github.com/carstene1ns/alex4), making it more portable. As it is based on SDL2 >= 2.6 I had to remove one function not supported in the current OD-beta version of SDL2. It concerns a function to jump in mod music. Can't really see any impact. The only issue I encounter is that the game can hang after the first level unless you press select/start directly, but don't know if that is related.

https://github.com/a-dekker/repackaged-opks/raw/main/alex4.opk

[plrguez]

I have built Hurrican for OD-beta. You can get it from here https://github.com/plrguez/hurrican-od/releases/tag/od-2022-10-16

This is based on Senquack's GCW Zero port and adapted to the DRM/KMS video subsystem in OD-beta for the EGL implementation.
I also have added support for force feedback in OD-Beta and effects (although the effects sure can be improved)

Use the opk file hurrican-od.opk from the release page.

The other opk file (hurrican-od-perf.opk) is intended only for the latest OD firmware and it uses a new toolchain

[neilswann80]

Amazing work! Adam Image uses the new toolchain so hurrican-od-perf.opk can be used (both OPKs work). Tested on my 280V and it plays beautifully.

Added to the games WIKI and OneDrive.

[a-dekker]

It indeed looks beautiful with max. details in 640x480 resolution, while performance is still good.

[a-dekker]

Pirguez fixed rRootage for OD-beta: #255 (reply in thread)
Remember that the game can be configured from a separate config program found under the "settings" section in gmenu2x

[neilswann80]

Added to games Wiki and Onedrive

[neilswann80]

Added Quake 3 Arena to the games WIKI and OneDrive also. Thanks to @plrguez for the awesome work!

[Shatur]

Anyone tried on on RG280V? I only see half of the screen on this handheld :(

[a-dekker]

Also see #244 about this subject.

[Shatur]

@a-dekker I asking about Quake 3, but the thread is about Hurrican.

[a-dekker]

It transforms into a request/discussion about Quake 3

[Shatur]

Oh, thank you!

[plrguez]

Anyone who wants to try NBlood on OD-Beta (Lepus included) can download it from here

This is a preview version, needs testing, and some features may not work properly. Also, the current gaming keys I set up are probably awkward (see at the release page for default keymap)

For PCExhumed and Rednukem I will give a try in the next weeks.

[plrguez]

It's strange, I don't have any blasted file and I don't have problems running PCExhumed.
These are the files that I have

[a-dekker]

Maybe I have some different Exhumed game release. Without a 'blasted.ogg' file I get:

I only see a similar remark here https://forums.duke4.net/topic/10872-pcexhumed-exhumedpowerslave-pc-port/page__view__findpost__p__349714 so I guess this is a rare situation.

[plrguez]

Have you tried to copy again the file STUFF.DAT? it is said in a comment below that this work for him.

btw, I have compiled grpextract.c and executed the command:

./grpextract STUFF.DAT blasted*

and these are the files in it for that pattern:

Extracted blasted1.voc
Extracted blasted2.voc
Extracted blasted.voc

[a-dekker]

The file was copied okay. As I expected it was indeed related to the Powerslave version. And it is directly related to the STUFF.DAT file; I replaced it with an alternative version and I now no longer need this blasted sound file. Thanks for helping investigating.

[plrguez]

Ah! understood. In the readme is indicated that Exhumed is preferred but is not said nothing about this problem.

[Shatur]

I compiled latest Free Heroes from master, but I can't control the cursor with the D-pad (I have RG280V, see ihhub/fheroes2#6272).

Thanks mate, this plays very nicely despite not having the old pocketpc UI for small screen like the old version. I guess for once our janky resolution is a plus.

Hi everyone,
I recently dug up my GP2X and wanted to play kq2x (a port of kq lives). But due to a firmware update it kept crashing.
It seems there was a problem with allegro's blit.

I had the idea to make a SDL version for both GP2X and RG350, but the code was really hard to understand (so may globals, come on!).
I had given hope, when I found this fork: https://github.com/OnlineCop/kq-fork
The guys there already ported it to SDL2 (guess GP2X was out, but still I could try to compile it for RG350). They are even working to complete the storyline.

The problem is that I don't know how to build it. I can't seem to understand cmake. At first, I wanted to cross-compile for RG350. Then, I decided to test a linux PC build because I thought it would be easier. I had installed every needed libs with apt-get, but it seems cmake can't find SDL2-mixer.
I did try everything I could think of, but I'm at a loss with cmake.

So please, is someone here willing to give it a shot? And maybe explain how I could set up my computer. I know how to install pcercuei's latest toolchain, but I need to add at least tinyxml2. Then I've got to understand how to cross-compile properly with cmake (or have a proper specific makefile, but it would be better if I knew how to use cmake properly).

Thanks.

[8Gilles8]

Hi,
I've update my firmware to this build.
I get the same result than with Hurrican's libmodplug.so.1: xm files play ok, but there are still problems with the 3 same mod files:

• eranasp.mod crashes with message ./kq-fork: __is*{_l}(-89,0x4 {locale}) followed by the line Aborted
• infanita.mod crashes with message ./kq-fork: __is*{_l}(-107,0x4 {locale}) followed by the line Aborted
• land.mod crashes with message ./kq-fork: __is*{_l}(-71,0x4 {locale}) followed by the line Aborted

Here are those files for those who want to test:
Crashing mods.zip

As there's no improvment from my previous release (other than being able to play the xm files with OD Beta's lib), it's not relevant to update the opk.
But we're definitely progressing in the right direction.
Thanks to all those who helped getting there.

A quick fix would be to convert the files in another format, but I don't know how to do this. Moreover, those crashes show that there's a bug to fix in OD Beta and it would be better for other projects if this bug could be fixed.

[a-dekker]

You can use Audacity to export mod files to ogg, wav or mp3. I have done that for multiple game ports to avoid crashes in OD-beta. Some games look for mod/ogg/mp3/wav files or accept a .mod files to be an alternative format. Other games do really need mod files. A downside is that mod files are very small, so your opk file might end up a lot bigger with other music formats used.

[plrguez]

I have tested using the libmodplug.so.1 included in the kq-fork-20221223.opk (your first release) and modplug123 with the latest OpenDingux beta firmware.

The test consists in play all music files included with the game to the end. And all of them played without any issues. See this terminal session log libmodplug-tests-20221226.txt.

You can download the precompiled modplug123 that I have used for this test from here

I also tested the game itself right up to the world map without any issues. If you have any save game before any crash, please share it to test it by my side. Or say me the point I have to reach in the game to reproduce the problem.

The libmodplug in your first release include the fix for signed chars and uClibc in OpenDingux that is aborting the 3 mod files (eranasp.mod, infanita.mod and land.mod). This fix is not yet included in mainline OpenDingux, but probably will be included soon. This errors are the ones finishing the program with __is*{_l}(-n,0x4 {locale}).

With the latest firmware the problems with unaligned memory accesses produced by libmodplug (any version of libmodplug) are fixed. This errors are the ones finishing the program with Illegal instruction.

Same positive experience here, no more crashes with troublesome mod files using the mentioned libmodplug.so.1 on top of the latest OpenDingux beta firmware.

Thanks. It works now.
I'm trying to understand how it works;
The correct version of libmodplug.so.1 was indeed playing the mod files but not the xm files. At the time I had an older version of OD Beta. When I updated for this version, I didn't bother to try preloading libmodplug.so.1. I thought that the game would either use the lib from OD Beta (which fixed only the xm files) or the preloaded one (which fixed only the mod files).
So tell me: how does it work? I can't imagine there's something that magically select the right lib. Does the preloaded lib use it's own code to play mod files and link to the code in OD Beta's lib for xm (and maybe other files)? Thus, it would crash with older OD Beta but not updated one.
It's the only explanation that makes sense to me.

Anyway, here is the latest version.
kq-fork-20221230.zip
It contains everything from kq-fork's github.
Don't forget: it's not finished yet . I think the ending will change once it is and there are signs that storyline will be extended.
I'm waiting for the full version to make a complete playthrough.

See the manual in the opk for known bugs (minor spoiler so you don't get stuck).
DON'T PUT YOUR DEVICE TO SLEEP (Power+Y: I had it wrong in the manual) WHILE IN THIS GAME. It resets the device.

I still think the libmodplug.so.1 is not the right way to go and that the fix should be included in OD Beta (A big thank you to Paul and all those who contribute to it's development).

Neverball
source: https://github.com/senquack/neverball
More info: https://boards.dingoonity.org/gcw-releases/neverball-and-neverputt-for-gcw-zero/
Neverball homepage: https://neverball.org/

Some settings needed to be exported to make the controls working when starting from the gui.

Edit: Neverputt
This game is now also included in the OPK. The controls are fixed and the fast_aim part is also re-implemented

And a 404 on this one too.

Nanobounce
The goal of the game is simple yet frustrating: bounce the ball to the exit.

Source https://github.com/carlreinke/nanobounce

The buttons were not working in the old OPK because of the controller.conf file (located in /media/data/local/home/.config/nanobounce). If you already have an old version over there please remove it before starting the game, this version will install a fixed controller.conf file

Getting a 404 on the link.

[SuperBadger77]

Can't see it on the one drive or on the wiki - are these still updated?

[neilswann80]

It looks like the repackaged-opks section of @a-dekker 's Github page is currently unavailable as none of the links he's provided now function. If he's able to fix that I'll get the most recent games uploaded to OneDrive. 👍

Hi to all, I just wanted to thank everyone that has contributed here. It's been a long while since the last time I checked this thread out, I've been really busy with other stuff in life. It's really impressive the work all of you have done so far.

I see that some of the OPKs that @a-dekker adapted are currently not available since the repo has been removed, can we get it back up? Does anyone else have those OPKs? I'm specially interested in the fixed Neverball OPK. Thanks in advance.

I also want to thank @eduardofilo for the updates to the Adam image, I'm excited to see what's next!

[neilswann80]

Everything other than the last two uploads (Nanobounce and Neverball) should be on the OneDrive backup. If anyone downloaded them before @a-dekker page went down please let me know and I'll get them backed up.

[eduardofilo]

I also want to thank @eduardofilo for the updates to the Adam image, I'm excited to see what's next!

Thank you, although lately the time available to work on this project has decreased significantly. I plan to do at least one major update (with the latest versions of ODbeta, RetroArch and the improvements made to SimpleMenu in the Koriki project), but I'm also afraid that too many changes will create problems and I won't be able to fix them quickly. Anyway, thanks.

[a-dekker]

I never intended to host the OPK files myself, that's why cloned https://github.com/JORGETECH/repackaged-opks and created separate merge requests for each OPK. As those where never accepted, I removed those merge requests and just added files in the main branch of that clone.

When I noticed my latest additions where not picked during the course of some weeks, it was a good reason for me to finally remove this cloned repository.

But here are the two latest games for now for the time being:
Nanobouce: https://easyupload.io/nsr7nf
Neverball & Neverputt: https://easyupload.io/mzy5xn

[neilswann80]

Apologies about that, I took a rather long hiatus from the interwebs and got behind with my admin! I'll get those games uploaded to OneDrive now.

TL;DR: Mouse can't be controlled by left stick (joystick) in SDL2 game.

I've recompiled an awesome fallout 1 port (thanks to @alexbatalov for such a great work) via the latest OD toolchain.

It works straightaway without fixes whatsoever! Video cutscenes work as well.

However, I can't move the cursor via the left stick (only d-pad works, enabled via Power+B).

Any ideas why I can't move the mouse via the left stick? I've compiled the same game for the stock firmware and there it works fine - I can control the mouse via the left stick.

@a-dekker Hi, thanks for your work! You're an experienced porter, don't you know why mouse emulation may not work via the left stick in SDL2 game?

[zakirullin]

My first bet is that ABS_X/ABS_Y should be added to https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/src/core/linux/SDL_udev.c

As it was done in older SDL2 port, the one with fbdev support. Here you can see it being removed:
libsdl-org/SDL@3dca329#diff-5da6eeaf99d96065e565edb1b4211398925341105702ca77d223ca8c52e34378L346

Before this removal it was possible to move the mouse via the left stick in SDL2 games.
