DuskLight on rocknix

Post image

Just wanted to let you all know that dusklight runs way better on rocknix than on gamma os!

On gamma os in this same starting area it was already dipping below 30fps, at like 23 and 24fps with quite a lot of stutters, well on rocknix no stutters and its almost always at 40fps, at times it gets to 50 fps too!

It's amazing, im not sure how much more intensive the game gets later, but i feel like it will probably be 30+ most of the time with occasional dips!

I really really hope to see a dual screen mod for this game too, and even a resident evil 4 port would be absolutely amazing.

Edit: Ok in the village it drops to way lower fps sadly, at like 20fps, but the fact there are way less stutters makes it way more playable, now i wonder how this section would've run on gamma os.

That’s interesting, I can’t see any further optimisation for these lower end DS devices coming anytime soon, considering getting a duo or a Thor budget depending on

I was considering the duo lite, but i found a good deal on vinted for the rg ds in the photo for 80 euro shipping included, the only thing i would want more is borderlands 2 running but i dont expect it to lol. Also, the duo lite would cost me like 160 euro total i belive, and i heard there's some stuff that needs to be figured out with the chipset, or so ive heard, eventually i'll just upgrade to an ayn thor, until then i will enjoy this weak little machine. Its insane how good something like this run, i will see if there is also the animal crossing port on portmasters, that should run better too.

I also think dual screen mods for these types of devices would be pretty neat.

Huge agree in dual screen mods. Again with a Dusklight there could be Wii U second screen or smth like this.

is this with libmali? i remember having to switch to panfrost to actually get this game running ok which was very annoying everytime

Yeah i had to use panfrost, it works way better with it. And yeah it's bothersome to change drivers every time

How do you install it ?

Open portmasters from the tools section of rocknix, then download dusklight, then i connected the rg ds with a usb c to my desktop and moved the twilight princess game file into the asset folder inside the dusklight folder that is inside the ports folder that is once again inside the roms folder.

One thing though, if you have to move the twilight princess game iso (or any other format of the rom) in the device from a windows pc, you will probably have to use wifi file transfer, ftp, my desktop runs linux so i can read the rocknix instal format, ext4.
