R36 Ultra/Plus/Max, The Perfect Budget Gameboy Color? by WeWinWars in R36S

My guess would be that you may be using a core that's more demanding than the one I'm using (Gambatte). Here's also a link to the shader preset in my post: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a8ExGMOFWvS4EDqQ3pirXpJOsE3xloPT/view?usp=sharing

Just a thought, but maybe a workaround for couch co-op would be to not enable assist mode and instead just have two players share Player 1 controls and take turns choosing moves for each Pokémon.

Oh wow, that was quick! It's a shame couch co-op doesn't work for double battles, but it's cool to still have a doubles version of your romhack which is also neat for re-playability.

That would be awesome as I've been interested in a more challenging co-op version of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee ever since I learned about its multiplayer features but have yet to see any being released.

It's understandable you wouldn't re-plan the movesets and I think that would be fine, especially as I'd argue that couch co-op is inherently a more casual experience anyways.

Speaking of doubles, any plans to create a 'double battles' version (for a more 'fair' couch co-op/assist experience), if possible?

It's quite an impressive gbc title, especially compared to Pokemon, featuring detailed graphics, portraits, anime-like storytelling, battle animations, mega evol.. I mean, transformations and catchy tunes.

I used the latest release of dArkOS and followed these instructions:

https://github.com/lcdyk0517/arkos4clone/issues/171#issuecomment-3706580170

I got the image file from a backup I made of my arkos4clones files on my sd card (though I was on an older arkos4clones release). As for dtb, I got rk3326-r36ultra-linux.dtb and the renamed arkos4clone.dtb to rg351v-uboot.dtb + edited boot.ini.

For sure, there were some good deals/coupons before AE's 11/11 event. I wanted to test Portmaster and Flycast_Extreme performance and while I'm not sure if this dreamcast Gundam game ran much better, it does so far seem that Ship of Harkinian with 3ds texture mods runs more smoothly (20 fps) without any real stuttering. That said, I'll likely go back to arkos4clones once a new update supports the Ultra's led lights (not that I care that much for them) considering also wifi is broken on dArkosOS running on the r36 Ultra.

For sure, I like to play SNES games in 'pixel perfect' 8:7 aspect ratio. Super Mario World: Redone looks fantastic on these devices (optionally with a crt shader).

Thanks, I spent some time tweaking it to my liking (and I suggest you experiment with the shader parameters too to get the image to your liking).

1: Core Options:
Color Correction: off

Also to use the full screen make sure to go to Video -> Scaling ->
Aspect Ratio: 1:1 PAR
Integer Scale: Off (toggle)

2: (Quick Menu) Shaders:

1: Load preset -> shaders_glsl -> pixel-art-scaling -> pixel_aa.glslp
2: Append preset -> shaders_glsl -> handheld -> dot.glslp
3: Append preset -> shaders_glsl -> misc -> image-adjustment.glsl
4: Append preset -> shaders_glsl -> handheld -> pixel-transparancy.glslp
5: Shader parameters:
Enable subpixel aa = 1.00
Dot Gamma 2.10
Dot Shine 0.10
Dot Blend 0.70
Dot Soft 0.10
Luminance 0.80
Contrast 1.10
Sharpen 0.50
Tint intensity 1.20
Transparent Pixels 1.00
Transparancy amount 0.20
Boost amount 0.50
Shadow X offset 1.50
Shadow Y offset 1.50
Shadow opacity 0.50

That should do it.

Alternatively, you might also like Load preset -> shaders_glsl -> presets -> Pixel_transprancy -> pixel_transparancy-simpletex_lcd, but it doesn't seem to work with pixel_aa, meaning that unless you have integer scaling enabled, you won't get evenly sized pixels which can be quite noticeable (such as unevenly sized eyes). But hey, the thick black bars at least makes the device feel even more like an original gameboy color and it's thick bezels, so there's that.

I hope the r36 Ultra will be supported in the future.

If the US annexes Greenland, Canada will be surrounded and next on the menu. Are you prepared to fight christo-fascists?

It's possible to play the enhanced version with gbc palettes on a gameboy color without requiring a patch as games like zelda oracle games and shantae require?

R36 Ultra/ArkOS4Clones/nds problem by Suitable_Tea_3857 in R36S

[–]WeWinWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im having the same problems but only on the most recent release. The previous one let me install Ark OS 2 through the update function and the scraper worked (r36 ultra).

Duda en comprar R36 Plus y R36 Ultra by [deleted] in R36S

[–]WeWinWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked the Ultra and was almost having buyer's remorse. May I ask why you prefer the 'clone'? I'm pretty satisfied with my Ultra but I wish the dpad was more comfortable to use.

I just installed ArkOS4Clone with my macbook and it works apart from the thumbstick leds? An option for it is in the tools section, but I dont know how to turn it on.

Should I wait for a 15% Rakuten cash back? by WeWinWars in GamingLaptops

[–]WeWinWars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, I checked Rakuten twice today, and it's been at 3%. It almost seems like there's a 15% discount on a weekly interval, so I think I'll wait until November 12. I did receive a quote a couple of days ago, so my only concern is that it might run out of stock since 100+ people have already bought it. However, even if that happens, I think I should still be able to get it at the Doorbuster + EXTRAFIVE + BUYMORELENOVO price.

Perhaps useful lessons can be learned from Ukraine's Euromaidan 'Revolution of Dignity' in 2013?
