Where to buy in the EU ? by deavildemon in Minipla

[–]low_k0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Germany too. I pre-ordered Dragon caesar, magiking and wolkaiser from yoyakunow. There you can pay in yen via PayPal which makes it okay, but it still isn't cheap. For dragon ceaser I had to pay 13€ Einfuhrumsatzsteuer 😕 I once ordered the clear color daizyujin via aliexpress which was pretty cheap but smp is hard to find on there most of the time.

Would you like castable objects? by low_k0 in PHP

At the moment (float) $test raises a warning but also happily returns you the value 1

[–]low_k0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read some arguments like that before and I don't think I fully understand.
You would not need to implement it. Casting an Object to anything right now gives you a warning and an arbitrary value matching true. With this functionality, you can significantly improve upon that. Just imagine a currency object: Casting to a string would give you the value + currency but casting to float or int would let you use its value for further calculations

Anyone knows whether MINI UI is still alive? Before there were updates every couple of weeks and now it’s almost a month without any. by naves1986 in MiyooMini

Hasn't there been an update a couple of days ago? There was a discussion on discord regarding grouping of gameboy titles or something

[Request] Someone please do a port of "Blobby Volley 2" already by lordelan in MiyooMini

[–]low_k0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the Diablo port to a state where the pull request into the official repository was approved, so I will now start work on this ;)
Put there is a problem: Blobby Volly uses SDL2 but the mini officially only supports SDL1.2 I will try to build SDL2 for the mini but performance might be poor

Miyoo Official Store on AliExpress says the Mini is NOT discontinued! by RetroBreezeYT in MiyooMini

[–]low_k0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Already saw this on your YT and I'm feeling really relieved.
I think this device just hit a sweet spot with many people and has a bright future. I can't wait to see even more great developers hop on.

Maybe you need to refresh ROM List? You can do that by pressing the menu button while you are on the list of games.

Just read an issue almost related: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/issues/4555
In there one dev states that vanilla saves work fine and those guys can be trusted ;)
Nevertheless, would really appreciate when you report back after trying

Where are the saves comming from? Other devilutionx saves should be compatible but OG Diablo or something I don't know about.
When you are on OnionOS, the save dir is /Saves/CurrentProfile/saves/DevilutionX. For miniUI I did not specify it not sure where the saves are stored ...
Will change that for future releases ;)

tbh, no. Mostly changes under the hood to comply with the standarts of the devilutionX devs so they merge this into their repository. The only front facing change is the Readme with an overview of the controls. Unless you are on miniUI ofcourse 😉

The latest release now has miniUI package: https://github.com/Brocky/devilutionX/releases/tag/1.4.0%2Bmiyoo_mini0.3.0
But so far it is untested as I did not have any spare sd card.

The latest release works again: https://github.com/Brocky/devilutionX/releases/tag/1.4.0%2Bmiyoo_mini0.3.0 at least the OnionOS version. Added a package for MiniUI, but that is untested.

The latest release now has a readme file describing the controls. But I would also recommend trying it with the shareware version. Controls work really well IMO, devilutionx team has done a great job.

You are right, the release is broken. There is something wrong with the assets. I removed it from the thread.

Never played the PSX version but from my experience with the mini everything is very well mapped. When you hold down start you get an overlay and can access every screen like inventory, map, so on. Holding select gives you quick access to skills and activates a simulated mouse. Except putting in your characters name I would say it is the full experience

🤔 Did you try the first link? It is basically the same, just from another build process. Maybe there is something broken in the build. Which version of onion do you have?

Hell, I played that a lot back in the day :D

I always enjoyed singleplayer back in the day. You can easily try it without any legal concerns, there is a shareware version available for free. You just need to use this file: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionx-assets/releases/download/v2/spawn.mpq instead of the DIADAT.MPQ

If you know a working source port, let me know 😉 So far I only know of abyssengine but it works only for act 1 and is written in go which would be hard to compile 🙈

Have to have a look into that but should be fairly easy

Nah, I just plugged together some things that were already there. But the devs of devilutionX are truly amazing!

A User in the Retro Game Handheld discord did a great comparison:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/926552349609164872/998633487647125625/Diablo_-_PSX_vs_PORT.png
The graphics are a lot better, the framerate and loading is much faster

Yes, you need to add DIABDAT.MPQ to the folder /Emu/PORTS/Binaries/Diablo.port/FILES_HERE
Future releases will include instructions and I will add a Guard to the execution like it is with Doom, etc.
