frt VS liblcf

another option is to use godot and use a this to target arm cpus https://github.com/efornara/frt

To point you in a direction, Efornara made FRT which was originally meant for Raspberry Pis, but can basically run on any linux arm device now. You can download the binaries and try that, the link is in the description, but you can also build your own templates if you know how to and understand using Docker.

I made a quick test project with a scrolling news ticker and clock. I've exported it with both "the" unofficial Godot Engine for the Raspberry Pi and FRT templates. Both have a similar result: when Godot is scalled to full screen, the frame rate for this controls-only (2D) project is < 20 FPS.

Godot works well on Raspberry pi 4 and other OPENGL ES-supported ARM-devices thanks to Godot FRT export-templates. Check here: https://github.com/efornara/frt I've have tested on a RG351V-handheld. See video here: https://twitter.com/NilskiLabs/status/1593590541622681602?s=20 This is Godot 3.5.2, but support for Godot 4.0 is currently in experimental-phase

FRT by efornara is the repository that explains how the bins are compiled. He also has some compiled bins that you can download and try instead of mine.

You can make godot games and run them on the raspberry pi just fine! At least 2D is working very well and 3D is also working but not feature-complete. Take a look at https://github.com/efornara/frt if you want to run godot games on the pi. I am currently working on a simple 2D RTS specifically made for the Pi Zero 2 and the performance is really good so far. :)

Is this it? And yes, I forgot about TIC-80! I haven't tried that one at all, but it looks very cool.

There are still pending issues, but the basics are there. See: https://github.com/efornara/frt/issues/39

I'm using the Godot game engine mainly. To compile for the RG351, I'm using this export template: https://github.com/efornara/frt

It's possible to port just about anything to anything. If you're asking whether or not it would be easy... I'm no expert in console development, but I'd assume that the easiest solution would be to port EasyRPG Player to the console of your choice, then you could basically just run your game as-is.

Yeah it's more or less a rpg maker drop in engine replacement. https://easyrpg.org/ it says 2000/2003 but I think it works with xp as well.

just download easyrpg and you'll be able to play any rm2k/2k3 game. rm2k/2k3 games dont run well on normal emulators

easyrpg.

many older rm games can now be published using easyrpg: https://easyrpg.org/

If you use EasyRPG, I believe there's a feature to build your game in 2k3, but switch out the battle system for the 2k battle system (which I believe is front view and turnbased). I haven't experimented with this feature yet, but could be an option to try!

It’s made in RPG Maker 2000/2003. You can even get the game running cross-platform if you run it with EasyRPG instead.
