McpeLauncher Port Menu Update

Hi everyone! :)

It's been a long time since I posted an update,but here we are today.

Today I'm releasing this update where I simplify everything without having scripts scattered around the Ports folder;

the new features are:

-The SetupMcpe script placed inside the mcpe_launcher folder and set to run there

-The apks now go into the "Setup Apk" folder

-Now directly from the menu you can extract your apks from the "Setup Apk" folder and you can also delete them directly from there, without opening the File Manager.

-Fixed issue with overlapping names when having many versions

Here is the Github link:

https://github.com/impressivestay6355-cmyk/mcpelauncher-r36s/releases/tag/1.1.0

A little warning I wanted to give to those who insist on making it work on ArkOs:

I worked to get the port working on classic ArkOs by bundling some libs that I tried to add to the port, I solved the GLIBC problem but I still had driver problems and I couldn't get it to work (apart from the fact that the file was starting to weigh more than it should have)

Now I've given up on making it work there, also because ArkOs is no longer supported, I don't know if I would have succeeded and therefore it's not worth it.

If you want to play this port, you'll need to flash DarkOS or one of its forks.

Have fun and have a good day ;)

It's amazing that these low shaders are perfectly playable on mpce 1.4.4

I found these two resource packs that I wanted to show you.

The music one is compatible with any version of the game, all of them. The shaders are only for 1.4.4 and maybe some higher versions that haven't been tested. It's amazing that it's perfectly playable.

I also recommend some texture packs that change the GUI to match the Legacy Console Edition or Java Edition, they're awesome. At the end of the video there are the names of the resource packs in question

(The No Particles resource pack is active on this video but does not work on this version, performance remains identical)

Playing multiplayer on this console is getting easier and easier! (Read more)

Hi everyone! :)

I didn't want to post just to tell you that I updated the launcher background(fourth photo), so I decided to test a couple of things that might be interesting.

First, I tested the Lan multiplayer on the McpeLauncher port(I hadn't tried it before, I was taking a break these days) and it works great and smoothly! The versions I tested are 1.4.4 and Opticraft 1.21, but it should work on any version.

The McpeLauncher port isn't the only multiplayer game I've tried;

with the latest build of DArkOSen by u/djparent, whom I wanted to thank in this post for the great work he did (I recommend you try it), the PPSSPP Standalone emulator has been updated to 1.20.4, which adds new multiplayer features.

Now, through ready-made servers, you can connect with people even on the other side of the world (even if there could be a lot of lag), or you can connect with a friend with the classic WLAN much more easily! (last photo).There are many tutorials on YouTube on how to play online or Wlan on PPSSPP, take a look.

I'm always amazed at how much this $30 console can do, thanks to this gigantic community.

MCPE Port Update

Hi everyone :)

Thanks to u/Sysho ,who with Fable5 forked my port for other devices and only with the arm64 apk, I managed to solve the internet problem in the game.

Previously I had disabled any connection with the "unshare" command because every time I connected the console to the internet and opened the game, the game crashed.

Now thanks to his binary I understand perfectly what the problem was, since I made the port work for the first time I tried to solve this problem.

This patch does not work on some versions anyway. I haven't tried the LAN yet because I don't have 2 devices, but I would like someone of you to try and let me know if it works. 1.16 is the version that is most likely to work, I tried 1.17.41 and the internet crashes (maybe another version 1.17 can work) ... The marketplace obviously doesn't work on older versions because the servers are obsolete.... The updated link is here, let me know if Lan works!

Are you enjoying the MCPE port?

Hello everyone :)

It's been a little over a week since I released this port. Are you enjoying it?

I'm posting this to ask if you've encountered any other annoying bugs beyond the known ones (like the lack of Multiplayer mode and the lack of a virtual keyboard). If so, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix them.

I'm taking a short break right now, but I'll address any issues as soon as I can. I'll keep you updated. ;)

if you haven't tried it yet:

The Minecraft Bedrock Launcher port is finally ready!

Hi everyone :)

After weeks of poor sleep and an endless cycle of "fix one bug, create two more", the Minecraft Bedrock port for R36S(RK3326) consoles is finally in a playable state.

Tested on R36S, but it should work on any device with the same chip.

The previous version was locked to 1.16 only because of ARM64 compatibility issues. To support multiple versions I had to change approach, which costs a tiny bit of performance,but the game still runs perfectly smooth, so it's worth it. I also put together a minimal version selection menu built with LOVE 2D, inspired by the Minecraft Java port.

That said, there are some limitations you should know about. Online multiplayer doesn't work, Xbox live authentication was crashing the game instantly, so I had to sandbox the network completely. Lan multiplayer isn't available either for now, though it behaved better on older versions so I might look into it later.

There's no on-screen keyboard, so to change your username or world name you'll need to edit the save files from a PC. And from 1.17 onwards the GUI stays small and locked,you can't change it even via options.txt. The game is still totally playable, just a bit annoying visually. I haven't given up on finding a fix.

As for requirements, you'll need a legally obtained Minecraft Bedrock Edition APK in ARM32 format (armeabi-v7a), any version from 1.2 onwards. No game files are included.

To install: extract the zip and copy the mcpe_launcher folder along with both scripts (McpeLauncher.sh and SetupMcpe.sh) into /roms/ports/.

Drop your APK inside /roms/ports/mcpe_launcher/ , the filename becomes the version label in the menu. Launch SetupMcpe.sh from EmulationStation and let it do its thing. Once it's done, delete the APK, leaving it there causes conflicts if you want to add more versions later. To add a new version just repeat the process.

Saves, mods, resource packs and skins all live in /roms/ports/mcpe_launcher/mcpelauncher/mcpelauncher/games/com.mojang/ , just make sure they're compatible with the version you're running.

Credits also go to the mcpelauncher team (https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest) , without their open-source work I never would have gotten started.

If you find any bugs I missed, drop them in the comments.

I hope my time has not been wasted and you all enjoy this!🙏🏻

Have fun 😉

could we create a sort of New Super Mario Bros for the PS1?

I'm not an expert but I wanted to ask if it was possible to create a game like this for the PS1, which can also run on real hardware.

For those who accused me in the last post of just wanting to attract attention, here's the port :)

You'll say Minecraft already exists, along with the Java edition and the PSP. But let's face it, neither is enjoyable on this console; the PSP edition is limited, and the Java edition makes the console overheat immediately, let alone now that it's starting to get hot. The Bedrock edition is the best version currently for this console, very playable and doesn't tax the console too much,even though it is a newer version,without having to switch to LineageOs. I used the Linux mcpelauncher compiled for arm64... Before publishing it, I need to fix the audio problem, which isn't working; the only version tested is 1.16.40, which must be compiled for arm64-v8a, otherwise it won't work. In the post where I publish it, I'll tell you how to do everything, obviously I can't post it with all the data inside for copyright reasons. Have a good day everyone :)

P.S. Obviously I helped myself with AI, I'm not denying it ;)

Guys, get ready for one of the best ports ever for this console.

I've been working for weeks on a port that everyone has been waiting for; I'm on the right track, hopefully I can get it to work.

If everything goes well, I should be able to release it soon.

Made Minecraft Bedrock 1.21 playable on r36s (LineageOs)

-OptiCraft is a modified APK designed to run the latest versions of Minecraft Bedrock on low-end devices (you can find the creator's name in the bottom left of the main menu). It performs okay out of the box, but you really need the right resource packs to make it smooth.

(I also noticed that in this new version, it also detects the L2 and R2 buttons well)

-The resource packs i enabled in the video are essential for performance; the others are optional. Just be careful not to enable too many, as they consume a lot of RAM. For the best experience and to avoid crashes, I highly recommend adding a low-res texture pack like 8x8 or even lower;

it makes the game much more playable!

-Forgot to mention! Turn off "Beautiful Sky" and "Advanced Graphics"

some parts of the video are obviously cut to keep it from becoming too long :)

❗ OTG v22 (2024-12-18) issue on DarkosRe solved❗

I tested both DarkosRe and Darkos4Clones on my V22 console (2024-12-18). OTG worked on Darkos4Clones, but not on DarkosRe. I fixed the issue by using the Darkos4Clones DTB file on DarkosRe, and OTG started working again.

Now you can connect to Wi-Fi without any problems.

Another consideration out of context:

I tried PPSSPP from Darkos4clones, and it seems faster than the version included in DarkosRe. The newer build appears to improve PSP game performance, and the addition of Vulkan support makes it even better. I’d really like to see this new version of PPSSPP integrated into DarkosRe as well.

However, Drastic Advanced still has some issues when switching layouts. If I don’t press the layout button, it seems to freeze again while the game is running.

Why on the CPU Manager script (of djparent,PHOTO 1) even though I always set Schedutil as governor, when I go to the CPU Manager of ArkManager(PHOTO 2) it says it is Interactive? And when in ArkManager I change from Interactive to Schedutil, on the CPU Manager ( djparent script) the governor reverts to Performance. Which one should I believe?

as far as I understand, these developers did it just to test the power of the Dreamcast. They won’t continue developing it, although I hope they do.(I didn't cut the video because then people might think it's fake)

I tried Arkos4Clones on my v22 (2024) with a test SD card. There are many new options, such as ZRam, integrated CPU manager, new versions of emulators like PPSSPP and Drastic... The problem is the key mapping which is different and I haven't understood it yet. In the DS emulator I can't change screens or go to the menu without pressing random keys, or the same thing with retroarch. If I change the DS emulator to Drastic-Kk the game has problems (data erased), and PS1 also has problems: for example when I start the Gran Turismo game it remains a black screen. Can these things be solved or should I stick with ArkOS?

P.S. For now I am not switching to DarkosRe because my model is not fully supported yet

I have a v22 and I saw that ArkOs4Clones had a new update a month ago with updated emulators (for example drastic with more customization). Will there be problems on my v22 (2024)? Has anyone with the same model as me already installed it?
