GAME DEVELOPMENT / PORTING / HARDWARE
Learning hardware through ports. Building native games from what I learn.
Game ports are a practical way to learn hardware. This lab shares the code, decisions and lessons from that work.
View projects01 / PROJECTS
An Android/ARM64 port of System Shock, tested on the Retroid Pocket 5.
Version 1.0.0 is available. It includes handheld controls, Android text entry and a first-run importer. Supply compatible game data from your own copy.
A native port for a GBA-style handheld, built on Project Picori-derived source. The aim is to keep the game familiar while adapting its software to the RG34XX.
Explore the handheld presentation, controls and runtime choices. The learning guide explains their purpose; the technical report links each result to its source.
Integration source and guides are public. A game executable is not available for download.
02 / FEATURED / COVERAGE
Articles, videos and community discussions about the lab's projects.
Mr. Sujano covered System Shock Android in a dedicated video chapter. The segment starts at 10:40.
GenerationAmiga's article introduces the Android port, its handheld controls and the first-run game-data importer.
A RetroGameTalk discussion shares the repository and Mr. Sujano's video. It also notes testing on the Retroid Pocket 5.
03 / PLATFORMS
Each platform has its own controls, tools and limits. Porting a game helps reveal how they fit together.
04 / DEV NOTES
The notes explain what changed, why it changed and how it was tested. Failed experiments remain useful when they explain a design decision.
05 / ABOUT
I use ports to learn a platform before designing original games for it.
The existing game guides each port. Technical changes serve its presentation, controls and operation on the target device.
I set the goals, make project decisions and test the hardware. ChatGPT assists with programming, analysis, automation and documentation.
06 / FEEDBACK & CONTACT
Use GitHub for public project feedback so problems, solutions and compatibility reports remain searchable. Use LinkedIn for professional contact.
Choose the project your question concerns. Include its version and device when reporting a problem.
Code, documentation corrections and technical review can be contributed through the public repositories and pull requests.
