  • Box Art for PortMaster 'Read to Install Ports' on RGB30 (JELOS)

    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?

  • 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?

    About that I didn't know, but you can look for in the Portmaster GitHub page

    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).

    Make sure you're on the newest PRE-release of AmberElec (https://github.com/AmberELEC/AmberELEC-prerelease/releases/) as this helped me with Quake 3 issues, might have helped with this.

  • Should I let 351ELEC update to the beta or install a different build? I have a 351V using version 20211122. I’ve tried updating using the settings but it never seems to update. I’m having issues with the buttons/OS freezing after I wake the screen from standby.
    1 project | /r/RG351 | 13 Jun 2022
    I'm using thelatest AmberElec pre-release build. I started with the Pineapple build you're using and if I recall correctly, they went from beta releases to pre-release builds. And you had to update to the beta build before it would provide an option for the pre-release build download. You can skip all that by simply downloading the lates pre-release and putting it in the proper folder on the device and then manually updating. It will do the rest for you. But, I warn you, it will still freeze up from time to time when waking from sleep.
  • Issue with ANBERNIC RG552
    1 project | /r/ANBERNIC | 6 May 2022
    I highly highly recommend using Amber Elec for the Linux side of things and Black-Seraphs AOSP Android 9.0 upgrade build, I had similar issues when I got the device right off hand but after flashing android 9 to the device and flashing the sd card with Amber Elec, it works beautiful plus there's new features you didn't have before. I also recommend upgrading your SD to a SanDisk ultra or better. link for amberELEC AmberELEC is prerelease rn so it's in Alpha, there are other Linux build you can get if you don't want an alpha program but here are the instructions And lastly here's the link/instructions for the Black-Sereph android build, you do have to become a member of his Patreon but after you get the files you can end the sub if you choose to do so, but its only 10 bucks and you get access to his full catalog of software so it is worth it. Best of luck it is a tedious thing but it will definitely improve if you do this there are some YouTube videos that use these same softwares too so you can walkthrough on there if you get confused. Cheers!

    1 project | /r/rg351v | 3 May 2022
    While I am not positive it will help your problem you might want to look into updating to AmberElec pre-release. I know they've updated various kernels and I vaguely recall there being some file permissions adjustments made at some point. you could robably look through the version changelogs and see but it's totally worth updating to the new version.
