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
Anbernic RG353VS - I’m using a third party OS and it’s my go-to handheld when the steam deck is inappropriate. Fits my hands and plays my favorite games. I love it for GBA and SNES.
PowKiddy RGB30 - second choice. I like the bigger screen and it’s a 720x720 screen that works great with game boy. I use a third party OS and play a lot of Pico -8 stuff on it too.
PowKiddy RK2023 - Adequate, not Great. Boots slow. Doesn’t feel good in the hands.
PowKiddy v90 - practically e-waste. Processor too anemic to run SNES. GBA emu was fine. Plastic so cheap I fear the stupid thing would shatter with a short drop.
