Porting to Miyoo

[Rezzy-dev]

Are there any good guides available on how to port software to the Miyoo CFW platform? I'd like to attempt some ports myself, but I am uncertain as to the libraries/specifications of the system. How different (stripped down) is the Miyoo CFW compared to standard Linux distributions? What tweaks do you usually need to make, in general, to port software to the platform?

Any pointers/help would be much appreciated.

I used this post to start porting emulators.

Try to start compiling similar console projects, gcw, rg350, dingoo, ...

You have to keep in mind that the buttons are not mapped the same for all consoles

About the button less or more of the q90, I do not know which is the one that does not work, I do not have that console. In discord they commented that it is not connected on the plate to anything

Hmm... curious! That's really surprising! I wonder why they went into all the trouble (and cost) of having a hardware switch for it and everything if they didn't end up wiring it to the board! Very strange...

I believe you, it's just very strange.

And yes, it's the Plus (more) button. The Minus (less) button is the Reset button on the Q90. Both feel exactly the same when pressed (like there is the same switch mechanism and wiring behind them), but the Plus button does nothing currently.

You're a legend, @MiyanoOsu!! :D I think this is for the version before the current release of the Miyoo CFW, but it's the base source code for all the apps/emulators nonetheless!! :D Thank you!!!

@salvacam Could this table be added to the wiki, perhaps on the Making-Games page? I'm happy to do the (manual) conversion to Markdown.

FYI steward source are the very first ones, and not the same stuff that have been included on the cfw. (i commented this in another thread)

Be careful, also his build tools are too outdated, and it may have impact on the compatibility/performance. I recommedn you using the stuff described on the Wiki guides to port/make stuff to Miyoo

Thanks. I wasn't going use the old documentation, except as expansion to my understanding of how the system works. But these are at least the source code to the emulators that's available, even if it's an earlier version and it may not run on the new system. I can work with this. At least I have something!
