Did anyone manage to play Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on RG351 with Portmaster?
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
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
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
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)

Port Games
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).

RGB30 with ArkOS- can you share config files for A/R, scaling, etc
Coming from a MM+ and having a tough time getting my RGB30 set up to fill the screen across various emulators. I've looked at this and this and this, among many other great resources.

All I want for Christmas is
ArkOS is very similar to JELOS, and can do this via Quick Mode. If you also go into Start > Advanced Settings and switch On the Switch Power Button Tap to Off setting, it's pretty handy. No Quick Mode -like function in JELOS... yet.
