  • Box Art for PortMaster 'Read to Install Ports' on RGB30 (JELOS)
    1 project | /r/PowKiddy | 7 Dec 2023
    There's a screenshot for every game on PortMaster in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster/tree/main/images
  • Did anyone manage to play Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on RG351 with Portmaster?
    1 project | /r/RG351 | 5 Dec 2023
    The port is available in Portmaster (https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster) file ’Jazz2.zip‘. The instructions are simple: “Copy the original game files (The Secret Files and/or The Christmas Chronicles) to ports/jazz2/Source.“ A long time ago, I bought the original games on CD-ROM and I’m using these files, but it doesn’t work.
  • What sort of game roms go in here?
    2 projects | /r/MiyooMiniPlus | 26 Jul 2023
  • Trying Out Recalbox for RG353P/V/M
    1 project | /r/RG353M | 24 Jul 2023
    There is a recalbox/roms/ports rom folder as well, with some folders and freeware files for supported ports already in place (Doom, Wolf3D, some others). Don't think PortMaster or my PortMaster-unique/dependent ports from JELOS and ArkOS will work without some numerous changes to the paths in various scripts and configs.
  • Installing Linux Games on an Anbernic Device
    1 project | /r/ANBERNIC | 12 Jul 2023
    The PortMaster project specializes in adapting an increasing library of freeware and commercial games — not only Linux, but DOS/Win, and some Android — to work in Linux custom firmwares for these devices. Games that are already written for Linux have one less hurdle to overcome in the process, I would think…? A bit above my level of experience, I’m afraid.
  • Nintendo Switch games as Celeste on RGB10 Max
    2 projects | /r/SBCGaming | 2 Jul 2023
    I really enjoyed playing the Celeste Nintendo Switch port on the RGB10 Max. I was wondering if anyone can recommend some other games that are also fairly recent that can be played on this device? I am not sure how to find more Switch games like this, as PortMaster mainly links older games (https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster)
  • Could you play enter the gungeon/undertalr on this?
    1 project | /r/RG353V | 28 Jun 2023
    About that I didn't know, but you can look for in the Portmaster GitHub page
  • Half Life on Dreamcast Not Starting
    1 project | /r/RG353V | 9 Jun 2023
  • Any metroidvanias for the linux based handhelds?
    1 project | /r/SBCGaming | 7 Jun 2023
    They're all listed in the portmaster wiki: https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster/wiki
  • Port Games
    1 project | /r/RG353V | 4 Jun 2023
    There's Portmaster that manages Port games and it is so easy to use. No need for the V. There are all the instructions for each game here https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster/wiki and many games do not require your own files (Stardew Valley does, though).
