#garlicos — Public Fediverse posts

There are still some kinks left to work out:

#Rocknix lets you swap the confirm button from B to A in #EmulationStation, but it's still that way in #YabaSanshiro and #RetroArch.

I'd like for it to auto save when I quit a game and start back at that place the next time I play, like in #garlicOS

Turns out #Rocknix needs it's roms in a /roms folder while the stock #Anbernic keeps it at the root of the ext card. I seem to remember that from when I installed #GarlicOS on my #RG35xx.

I wish all these #opensource #emulation projects could get together and standardize a few things. Feels like a solvable problem.

@Nawer_Rapter have you considered a Linux or Android handheld? The ones made by #Anbernic #Miyoo #Powkiddy and #RetroidPocket are pretty easy to use and come with a ton of games, including GBA. I have an #RG35XX with #GarlicOS that works great!

@retrosponge I've got an Anbernic #RG35xx with #GarlicOS. It doesn't have Wifi, but I can't imagine it's very beginner friendly.

(I posted about TIC-80 being really slow on the RG35XX so I hope this helps.)

Here's a rundown of the script I wrote to work around a weird issue where PICO-8 save data gets corrupted on the Anbernic RG35XX running GarlicOS.

I still love the Anbernic RG35XX with GarlicOS but wow I find myself having to write a bunch of scripts to run on the device to fix things that go wrong...

Luckily I'm getting better at writing them, so that's a nice bonus. (Shell scripts were never my strong point.)

#anbernic #rg35xx #garlicOS #gameDad

I haven't tried this yet, but GarlicPress looks interesting.

➡️ https://github.com/prosthetichead/GarlicPress

"GarlicPress is a companion application for the RG35xx running GarlicOS. The main aim of the application is to never require you to remove the SD cards from your device. GarlicPress uses ADB to communicate over USB."

#garlicOS #anbernic #rg35xx #gameDad

One of my tweaks for the Anbernic running GarlicOS. Since I am not an old time gamer I don't know what the heck controller goes with what the heck old console system!

So I added text labels. I didn't really plan it out so it could have been much better, but it works for now.

It was just a matter of editing the images on the SD card.

#anbernic #garlicOS #rg35xx #gameDad

I've been adding notes as I go to this page and eventually will probably create an actual blog post and publish the script I wrote.

Okay, I've got a basic script that works to fix corrupt PICO-8 files on the Anbernic RG35XX running GarlicOS. You run it using SimpleTerminal and it's interactive so you just need to type Y, N, or Q as it loops through the most recently modified files. It's probably not perfect but seems to work in my basic testing.

#anbernic #rg35xx #garlicOS #pico8

@eulenspiegel Mich irritiert, dass die Version von #GarlicOS, die bei meinem #RG35XX dabei war, ein #Anbernic-Branding hat und auch sonst eine Custom-Version zu sein scheint. Dabei hat der Entwickler den Source Code doch gar nicht veröffentlicht?!

Frage mich gerade, ob es seit Version 1.4.9 / April 2023 deshalb keine Updates mehr gibt, weil der Entwickler einen Deal mit Anbernic gemacht hat..?

There's always the terminal... but you'll go mad trying to type into it.

#anbernic #rg35xx #garlicOS

Wait, wait... I should be able to check the directory then get the most recently modified file and just delete it.

So once a game's save file goes corrupt just delete it immediately.

Sounds like I've got a project for this weekend...

#pico8 #rg35xx #anbernic #garlicOS

Huzzah! A script works. I have a script that can run on the Anbernic RG35XX to delete a bad save file from a PICO-8 game.

It's not idea, it's got the name hardcoded, but it does work.

So I can write shell scripts for this thing? I have ideas...

#pico8 #rg35xx #anbernic #garlicOS

So basically multiple copies with different names.... though I'm guessing they would not save state since the system would see them as different games so... maybe not.

(Or I could just play a different game I guess!)

#pico8 #rg35xx #anbernic #garlicOS

Another PICO-8 update for running on the Anbernic RG35XX.

I had a game (Yarn) that worked fine, then eventually would not run, gave the "No carts found" error... But this time I found a fix.

I pulled the SD card and deleted the file found at Saves/CurrentProfile/saves/fake-08/cdata/yarn.p8d.txt and that fixed it.

So I guess sometimes the saved data becomes corrupt and deleting it fixes things.

#pico8 #rg35xx #anbernic #garlicOS

I solved my own problem! It seems retroarch.cfg became corrupt. Someone made an "app" that can fix it. You copy it into the APPS folder and launch it using RetroArch to replace the config file.

Weird issue with GarlicOS on the RG35XX today. Games launch, then quit, and the screen blinks/flashes repeatedly. (Doesn’t happen when I switch back to stock OS.)

#garlicOS #anbernic #rg35xx

Really loving my Anbernic RG35XX. Think I’ll do a video review soon. Plays my games flawlessly. Also installed GarlicOS on it which is *chef’s kiss*

Faster shipping than from China… And same price. Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3rx8buh
