  • How to choose a front end / control kit pairing for multi cabinet?
    1 project | /r/cade | 1 Apr 2023
    The kit has been fun. My daughter loved helping me wire it up to a dummy box, and we decided its worth moving forward with a desktop cabinet build. I don't have a raspberry pi and can't find one, so we're using a 2012 mac mini. OpenEmu has been fun, but I'd like to be able to control the whole UI with the joystick, so we looked at EmulationStation-DE (retropie for desktop as its been explained to me). The control kit worked with OpenEmu but not EmulationStation, and the folks over in that sub said its not supported by SDL https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL
  • Do i have enpugh knowledge to learn new libraries?
    2 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 8 Sep 2022
    There is also SDL, which is a bit of a behemoth library, but gives you a lot of firepower if you want to get down to the nuts and bolts of building something from scratch with media. It provides a framework for working with graphics, sound, input hardware, etc., and is cross-platform. I haven't personally used SDL but it's a pretty well-utilized library. It's written in C so the same caveats apply as before, but works just fine with C++.

    This has already been fixed in the latest SDL version, but it's likely that the game comes bundled with it's own version.
  • I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
    103 projects | /r/programming | 28 Dec 2021
    I got tired of writing C# bindings code by hand to interop with native C/C++ libraries, so I automated the process. Example for SDL: https://github.com/bottlenoselabs/SDL-cs. The repository is automated daily using Dependabot to run C2CS, generate the P/Invoke code, and push a Git commit with the code automatically when there is a change to https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL.

  • Patching x86 Android apps to run on x86 Linux?
    4 projects | /r/REGames | 28 Nov 2022
    There is a guy who was working on something who I'd talked to recently but this is ARM not x86 you would have to specifically look at/understand this stuff and write your own x86 support nothing exists that I know of today which already does it: https://github.com/JohnnyonFlame/droidports
  • Is there already an opendignux port ? As an developer, im considering to create one if there isnt one yet...
    4 projects | /r/AM2R | 5 May 2022
    The Anbernic R280V has a JZ4770 as its CPU, which is a MIPS32 Processor. So your only official options are to run Android on it and play the android apk there. Unofficial option would be to help DroidPorts in order to support MIPS, which'd enable you to run the APK under Linux (and by extension probably opendignux).
