• I can explain every non-standard line in my launch script

Submission Requirements

CFW Tests

Ensure your game has been tested on all major CFWs:

• ArkOS
• AmberELEC
• ROCKNIX (RG40XX-H / H700, Panfrost)
• muOS (RG35XX-H / H700)
• Knulli (RG40XX-H / H700)
• Crossmix (Optional)
• Other: dArkOS

Resolution Tests

Test all major resolutions:

• 480x320 (Optional)
• 640x480
• 720x720 (RGB30) (Optional)
• Higher resolutions (e.g., 1280x720)

File Structure

• Your port should have the following structure:
  • portname/
    • port.json
    • README.md
    • screenshot.png
    • cover.png
    • gameinfo.xml
    • Port Name.sh
    • portname/

Script Conventions

The launcher follows the usual PortMaster Mono setup. The game-specific parts are:

• On first launch, the patcher builds a compressed texture cache without changing the original game files.
• libtexture_astc.so uses ASTC where supported and falls back to BC3 on Panfrost, where sampling ASTC textures crashes. With gl4es, font and detail textures stay uncompressed because ASTC breaks their transparency.
• gl4es is only enabled when the CFW sets LIBGL_FB or LIBGL_ES. ROCKNIX provides native desktop GL, so it does not use the bundled gl4es libraries.
• libfmodex.so translates the game’s FMOD audio calls to SDL_mixer, including streaming for large audio files.
• libsteam_api.so reports Steam as unavailable, no bypassing.
• MONO_MANAGED_WATCHER=1 avoids a FileSystemWatcher recursion crash in Mono.
