    Is the game data actually in the portmaster directory when you browse the SD card on a PC? I know many pm games require copyrighted data to run (half life for example)

    A lot of these stock OSes are crudely translated from Chinese perhaps “ready to play” isn’t literal.

    I’ve gotten several portmaster games working on ArkOS on my Anbernic devices, check their wiki it’s probably similar to the setup required on the anbernic stock OS

    My understanding is that most cheats for retro consoles are a memory location plus a value to write in that location.

    I believe that’s how the “game genie” worked on nes, snes, and OG game boy. Have you tried entering some game genie/game shark codes in the RA cheats for your core?

    It’s been a while since I used cheats on RA other than save states and rewind but I know I’ve gotten them working before (years ago) on snes

    Fake-08 development trails PICO-8 so it’s possible your Fake-08 version is out of date, the cart is made with a newer PICO-8 version, or the cart is just plain incompatible with Fake-08 (many carts do not work with Fake-08).

    I have a couple handhelds like yours and the official raspberry pi PICO-8 build works great on them - I suggest you get a PICO-8 license and check your distribution’s documentation to learn where to place the raspberry pi PICO-8 binary in the filesystem.

    I didn’t do any fancy mounting, as far as I can remember. I think it really was just a matter of copying the directories to my SD card and replacing the directories on the deck with links to the ones I copied to the card.

    I’ll take a look at what I did the next time I get the deck out and let you know

    Not directly relevant but if you have the 64gb deck and a big SD card: you can symlink the directory that houses all the proton versions and shader catches to the SD card.

    That was pretty much the first thing I did after I got my deck, as a stopgap before I could upgrade the SSD but it’s been working well enough I never got around to swapping out the SSD after, what, almost two years?

    Just get a decent 1-2TB SD card for the 64 GB deck. Uninvasive, convenient, cheap storage upgrade with no human-noticeable performance difference between the more expensive decks.

    I’ve owned both the 512 GB and 64 GB deck + big SD card and I can’t tell the difference between them without precise performance benchmarks. The only difference is the 512 GB has an anti glare screen.
