Hey guys,
Been trying to download and run games but have had no luck, does anyone know how to install and run games or know of any good tutorials for installing to this linux operating system, trying to install bugdom for one of them.
Thanks for any comments/help that come my way!
GitHub - jorio/Bugdom: š Pangea Software's Bugdom for modern systems no clue if this will work on the devterm, but there appears to be a modern open source version of this game here. Check out the release section, or follow the instructions to build from source
been trying to get appimage to get it running, know of anyway to get appimage to run on the devterm? (new to linux)
no clue if this software is devterm compatible but here is a guide: How To Use AppImage in Linux [Complete Guide] - It's FOSS
Anyone happen to get Cave Story running on devterm. Iāve seen it working on Clockworkās instagram. I tried a release from this repo GitHub - PokeEngineer/NXEngine-RPi: A rewritten port of a Cave Story clone for the Raspberry Pi but no luck so far
So after free time actually came my way I researched this out and it seems that arm64 processors (have the A06 chip) cant run appimage sadly, still going to see what else I can do in regards to downloading software for arm systems
I really want to try OpenMW sometime. I remember that people got it to work on a Pi 3, with mostly mixed results. But maybe the 4gb A06 can be more up for the the task. 
I recommend NXEngine-evo. I donāt have a Devterm to test, but you could definitely build it from source and it would work great. I uploaded a build that I did from my Raspberry Pi 3B a couple months ago. It works great on my Raspberry Pi, and it should work on any armhf Linux computer that uses glibc. Itās also an AppImage. AppImages that are built for ARM totally work on the DevTerm.
complie the cave story for devterm
for A06(A04 later) users
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y devterm-cavestory-cpi
will install cave story for you
for CM3 users
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y devterm-nxengine-rpi
after installation
press the Esc key, enter Options->Graphics, select the resolution as 1280x480, and open the full screen.
and have fun
use apt search devterm will get you a list of all devterm softwares in the devterm apt repository
most of the software is already pre-installed in the os image so no need to install it again
and welcome to submit request to github or forum here for any other software/games to be packed as apt deb for quick installing
thanksļ¼
How to use D-pad and ABXY button?
@guu this is incredible thank you!! I think when you take a risk on a new platform you are waiting for that killer app moment and this is that. I cannot describe how wide my smile was to see cave story running in ultra wide resoltion on my devterm. Awesome experience. Makes me very excited to see where the community takes this next
@makura you can easily map the controls to the d-pad and ABXY buttons from the settings menu
Iām getting āfile has unexpected sizeā errors when trying to install that on my A04. Any ideas?
@makura At the risk of sounding dense, whatās the thing next to the DevTerm?
NINTENDO New 2DS LL
a game machine before nintendo switch
maybe because the apt repo has re-generated
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clockworkpi/apt/main/debian/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-key del 57B7A98BBEBA8C10CA4458810DD08811478B1249
sudo apt update
then try install again to see if the error " āfile has unexpected sizeā has gone
Yep that seems to have sorted it, thanks!
Does this work for A04 or not yet?
Iāve been working on building a number of things lately and I took a look at those Pangea games. The person who posted the code for Bugdom also had projects for MightyMike, Nanosaur, and OttoMatic. Iād never seen or heard of them before (Iāve never owned Apple stuff), but the git projects are very clean and build easily and quickly on the DevTerm. I didnāt even need to install any packages, but I think itās probably because Iād already done it for other things.
When built, they each only have a single executable file. That file and the āDataā directory in the repo need to be in the same place. As far as I can tell thereās nothing else needed to get the games to run (and they run well, full speed and āwide screenā using the full display. The only issue I noticed was every game detects a joystick but complains with: āJoystick(s) found, but none is suitable as an SDL_GameController.ā. It might be a SDL thing that could be tweaked without rebuilding the game(s, but Iām not sureā¦
As a bonus, they even include .desktop files and icons. That all seems to get set up with the appimage thing, but the files are all in the repo and could be used to set it up manually. Maybe these games are candidates for making deb files, @guu? All the pieces are there, but it would need to be assembled.
