I am trying to create a script that will run Pico-8 natively on my Anbernic RG35XX Plus.
When I try to get it to run using the pico8_dyn raspi binary I am getting the following error:
SDL Error: SDL not built with haptic (force feedback) support ** FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize SDL |
I've been able to get it to boot, albeit without video, but this is requiring me to build my own version of SDL2, since haptic support is being required by Pico-8 and is not available in the RG35XX native SDL2 system files.
I'd like to avoid having to compile a new version of SDL2 just to "provide haptic support". Is there anything I can do do bypass this requirement in my native SDL2?
Here's my script so far:
#!/bin/bash
# Define variables
SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "$0")"
PICO_DIR="$SCRIPT_DIR/pico-8"
# Navigate to the script directory
cd "$SCRIPT_DIR"
# Function to check if a package is installed
is_package_installed() {
dpkg -l "$1" &> /dev/null
}
# Install dependencies if they are not already installed
if ! is_package_installed wget; then
apt-get update
apt-get install -y wget
fi
if ! is_package_installed unzip; then
apt-get update
apt-get install -y unzip
fi
# Check if PICO_DIR exists, if not, download and extract Pico-8
if [ ! -d "$PICO_DIR" ]; then
# Download the PICO-8 zip file
wget OMITTED THIS URL SINCE IT IS WHERE I AM PULLING MY OFFICIAL PAID FILES FROM
# Extract the zip file
unzip pico-8_0.2.6_raspi.zip
# Delete the zip file
rm pico-8_0.2.6_raspi.zip
fi
# Navigate to the pico-8 directory
cd "$PICO_DIR"
# Make the pico8 binaries executable
chmod -R +x .
# Execute the pico8 binary and log output
./pico8_dyn -splore -width 640 -height 480 -volume 50 -pixel_perfect 1 -windowed 0 -joystick 0 -home $PICO_DIR -root_path /mnt/sdcard/Roms/PICO8 >> $PICO_DIR/pico8_log.txt 2>&1 |
If compiling my own version of SDL is my only option, how can I get the video output to work correctly. Right now it outputs in my log:
Current video driver: offscreen |
I've tried setting it to directfb, and x11 and such, but it says they are all unavailable. I have a feeling this is because I am compiling the SDL, but I am in a bit over my head in terms of my knowledge of how video drivers work in these kinds of hardware.
