@Mr.Blinky and I have created a web site that allows you to create your own Arduboy FX Cart Image.
The site allows you to rearrange existing games, create new categories and even upload your own games! Your cart can be saved as a CSV file for future adjustments in the same format as the existing flash cart utility. Once you are happy with the cart, you can then export a BIN file for uploading to your own FX.
Here are some URLs to get you going …
Arduboy FX
The whole enchilda is all the games on the existing flashcart plus a few additional games that have been released since.
Filmote’s curated list is a selection of games that I really like on the Arduboy. I had a goal of getting below 100 titles but couldn’t get anywhere near it! I know by omitting over 100 games that I will offend some so I apologise in advance!
PPOT Flash Cart contains all the PPOT games - just because I can!
8BitCade XL
The original XL cart well almost. I took out the duplicates that appeared in the ‘favourites’ column and added a few new games.
PPOT Cart starting with the PPOT cart as a base. You can add as many other games as you like from the original XL cart.
After a little 'community testing', we will look to publishing the repo publicly and posting some basic instructions on how we will continue to add new games or allow you to submit them via a PR. The details are yet to be worked out!
Great job. Is there a way that we could add filters to share games that have been compiled for various homemade arduboys.
For instance, I’ve compiled (and applied display fixes to the code where necessary, which ended up being usually fairly easy, but there were a lot of them) many of these games for SH1106 displays with the following settings using @Mr.Blinky 's Arduino plugins.
I plan on sharing my cart and hex files on github once I’ve fully curated my list, but if the metadata for what targets it was compiled for are saved on this tool, I’d be happy to share them here as well.
This is great! I just took the “everything” bundle. added in my two completed games, and put it on my FX in just a few minutes, most of which was making a better splash screen for Beam 'Em Up.
You can see from the links above that I can allow you only to pick from a subset of items - such as Filmote’s curated list. I can add all your compiled games into a different directory (the games happen to be sorted into categories already but that’s sort of irrelevant when you can move them around) and we can create a ‘Clintonium curated list’ that allows people to only select from those items on that list (and have been compiled with your flags).
@Mr.Blinky and I have been hard at work and added a bunch of new features.
Firstly, you can click on an image and see a larger image, any details that have been entered about the game (not many have any), version numbers and an embedded ProjectABE iinstance allowing you to play the game!
I have added a couple of URLs into the original post for those using an 8BitCade XL. @clintonium-119, this is how I would add support for your homemade device.
