New Port - VVVVVV

@pjft
I take it it's the standard GPU split as well?

ah?? I guess

Still stuck on 75% :(

You'll have to be patient, a few files take longer to compile.

@mitu
U usually right, hope that the case now and it wont jump me back out .

@pjft here's a picture : https://imgur.com/a/ipYjIDe

it's not that big of a deal to be honest, but it's there hehe.

My setup is simple. I have nothing plugged in, my controller is a dualshock 4 controller.

I might add that i'm using a unnoficial image.

I will try again on a fresh rpi4 with the weekly image to see if it's any different.

The Dualshock4 has a touchpad which might get detected as a mouse, probably that's why a pointing device gets shown.

Which Pi are you guys running on?
I am using an overclocked Pi4 and am getting pretty crappy framerate. Is there anything that I can configure? Compile flags for instance.

Thanks

pjft

@langest on the pi3B things run smooth as butter. Maybe it's something that can be addressed with compiler flags, but what resolution are you on?

Game runs for me, but framerate is quite laggy, feels half the speed it should have.
I'm running on a rpi4, I shouldn't have any problems... any ideas?

I noticed this comment only now. I'm on Pi4 and have the same exact issue :/ if feels like it skips every second frame. I've got the same issue with a couple of other ports, namely Prince of Persia.`

pjft

@pamput as asked earlier, what resolution is the pi using?

langest

@pjft
No settings changed in vvvvvv, tried to see if there was such an option. Running my pi at 1920×1080.

@langest it wasn't about vvvvvv per se, but wondering if it could be similar to this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/24602/disappearing-sprites-possible-frameskip-issue

Great stuff. I already own this on my phone but will buy it on GOG just to be able to put it on my Pi!
I wish all new retrogames would be compatible with the Pi systems. Hotline Miami would be on the top of my list.

It was my initial guess already. I've checked with tvservice -s and forced it via runcommand, I'm running 1920x1080@60Hz :/

state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

pjft

@pamput I am at a loss then for now. I need to get my pi 4 set up and test things out. Might just be a compiler flags thing for sure.

pamput

@pjft no worries, I appreciate the help. I'm happy to run any kind of debug for you if you need it.

So, I confirm that on the Pi4 we do get the mouse pointer there (extremely awkward :) ) even on my DS3, but also that the performance is indeed not optimal.

Let me look into it for a bit and see if I can come up with anything.

The CPU is at 30%, so that's not the framerate bottleneck. Might be related to the graphics driver.

EDIT: the mouse cursor seems to be related to a commit that took place recently.
https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/commit/adde99dfe6f75d58ea8ff5284fed76f14d3e0154

and EDIT: it might just be that we're out of luck here until the actual graphic drivers are improved.

Does anyone know if I can extract the data.zip file after purchasing the game from here: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/vvvvvv
It's only € 1.34 there currently. :)
