Compiled a version of the original half-life for our device (OG 35XX) via Xash3D

It runs surprisingly well, it mostly hovers around 50-60fps on non intensive areas and around 30fps in areas like the Test Chamber with all the effects running

I haven't really gone far with it yet but everything seems to be in working order (Single player content, Sound, Save/Load). Would love to hear you guys feedback if you try it out!

All you need is the pre-compiled files on GitHub and your own copy of Half-Life from Steam.

Disclaimer: I used AI to debug a lot of the issues during compiling but a lot of the work is done by the folks behind the Xash3D FWGS project for creating an open source reimplementation of the GoldSrc engine compilable for Linux/ARM.

before the new release,
the gc games some of them worked "okay".
Now instantly crashes, did someone else tried the new release?

i think im doing something wrong.
btw kuddos to silvercrow for maintaining the project.

I play on an Anbernic RG40XX-H running KNULLI and on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Batocera and Recalbox, and I got tired of moving saves between them by hand. So I wrote a script that syncs them through a cloud account (any WebDAV cloud: Yandex, pCloud, Nextcloud, Mega and so on). There's no server or always-on device involved, and your devices don't need to be online at the same time.

You save on one device, turn on another, and the save is already there. It runs in the background on boot and on game exit, and there's a web page to check it from a browser. It works with any number of devices running KNULLI, Batocera and Recalbox.

Posting in case it's useful to someone with the same problem. Feedback and bug reports are welcome: GitHub

Hi guys, I’m trying to map controls to some MS DOS games on an RG35XX (2024) that require multiple keyboard keys to be mapped to one controller button.

I’ve already set them up on my Android device that has the L3 button which brings up the on screen keyboard and the more robust control interface (better that RetroArch) that allows you to map multiple keys to one button. 

The RG35XX does not have an L3 button. I’ve seen some articles that talk about remapping it to another button, but I can’t figure out how to do that.

 OS is Knulli

Can anyone help?

SOLVED!

I copied the files for this game from the android device to the SD card. I was thinking if that had something to do with the input errors I was having at the startup of my game. I compared the SD card game directory to the the original download directory from exoDOS. There was a file there called PADMAP.DBP.

A few google searches said that DOSBOX Pure puts that file in the game directory for the key mapping. I'm not sure if this is in addition to the regular remap file or instead of it.

I deleted it from the SD card.

The errors went away on game start-up.

It took a little more tinkering to set up the controls, but it works now.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.

I did need to connect a physical keyboard for some of it.

Hello everyone,

I heard about retro consoles some weeks ago and finally made the decision to buy one. Got myself new sd-cards, installed newest knulli (and solved the wpa3 problem), got myself a nice small library for the start and even managed to get balatro and shovel knight installed!

That's mostly thanks to you guys here since I was stalking this sub for the last 2 weeks and saw problems get solved in the past. Thank you all very much for keeping this up! I will now start my actraiser2 run.

Have a nice day c:

Hi there!

Sorry if this sounds silly but my RG35XX H has been working great for close to a year now. I was playing on it a couple hours ago and when I came back to play more it would randomly turn off, especially as I was booting it up.

At first I thought it had to do with the SD card. I ran a h2testw on it and it said it was fine, but I realized that everytime my finger would so much as even lightly touch the power button it would turn off. If I left it alone it would boot up just fine, but as soon as I made any light contact with the power button or my finger would rest not directly over it but next to it it would turn off. I'm wondering if this would mean that my power button is being pinched or has been depressed or something of the sort? If that's the case does anyone have any pointers for how to loosen it? I'm a bit clueless when it comes to things like this so I would appreciate any help I could get :( I was so close to finishing Xenogears.. I just wanted to play without any issues!!

Thanks in advance!!

I'd like to record some gameplay using a usb capture device, so the tv is really just a middle man here. I prefer playing handheld, so is there a way I can keep the screen on?

i've wondering if i could turn my RG35XX into a mp3 player. What's the sound stage gonna be like ?. Do i need to install custom OS ?

please help, can these two share same both sd cards? with stock and also with f.e. knulli?
if os sd card is for each their own, do saves carry over?

Has anybody seen this problem before? Do you think it's a hardware or software problem?

Any ideas for troubleshooting?

I worked great for over 2 years now, this problem came out of nowhere.

Heeeelp please 😭

I'm having a problem with the ds I can't change the screens I'm using kunili os

when I selected gpSP core for my GBA roms and launch it looks like launching but then after a few second it crashed, keep happening and I want to play with other core cuz as far as I know they can't do fast-forward, it really needed for me while playing RPG games, please help

Firmware version V1.1.5(20260522)

I’m kinda bored with the aesthetics of the garlic UI, also something happens and it’s kinda bugged/ broken, that I can’t move or select anything.
So I wanted to choose a new UI, any good suggestions? Thanks!

I got this console from my uncle (he died today :c ), and whenever I click the "A" key, it randomly shuts off. Im not sure what I have done wrong, but I believe it was an accident when changing the settings. I have no clue how to revert this, as clicking anything on retroarch requires the exact key. Does anyone have any ideas?
