hey there first of all i LOVE this project its exactly what i was looking for but i found an older version without editor(on google drive) and it works(plays the one cart put in the directory) but the release with editor don't works display keeps black on the exact same setting as before i tried to compile the project but i'm not good at this stuff(artist:-)) it failed so i have a question could you compile this for pi zero and release it it would be wonderful I'm trying to make a little handheld. ore could you tell me what I'm doing wrong with the release I'm not a good programmer i only use it for my art projects... thank you for all this like this a lot

hi there, thanks for your interest! While going from the "core" (the version without the editor) and the "full" version i dropped support for RPIzero, first becouse i had some problem compiling some of the dependancies, secondly becouse performances on the zero were so bad it wasn't actually going to run any serious cart anyway. Even the RPI2 has trouble running some of the games from the "store", so unless you do some super basic zero-tailored games yourself, you won't be able to run anything on a zero.

The handheld project is interesting, i considered something like that too :) What kind of display were you planning to use?

I tried it today and it works but only if you connect a USB keyboard and a USB mouse before booting the Pi. Otherwise the screen will remain black. Good work, msx80! Are you planning to release a newer bare metal version?

I myself am trying to build the current upstream source at the moment. But this might take a few days until I get it working.

Hi there, yes it expect keyboard and mouse but it should be easily fixable in the initial routines when it obtains the relative objects. Not currently working on it unfortunately :) i've seen you were able to compile it, i'll reply on the other post :)
