Thanks!

Just tested my Bluetooth Acteck G200 gamepad and it works great with Sonic Mania, it's being recognized as an XBOX controller.
yeah, I have a ps4 controller tied to it. it works great with both sonic mania and sm64. the ps5 dual sense doesn't seem to like my phone though.

Could you please share you SM64 Android build? "For testing purposes" ofc. :ha:

Thanks in advance!

Seems the latest Android commits have been finalized. Any chance of a new build, and praying to whatever deities we believe in that it actually works this time?

I just asked about that annoying popup for starting the game and for where to start the game from, that it asks you every time you start sonic mania. apparently, it's a restriction by android itself rather than the app. one of the devs told me it's not possible to do (i.e. save your answers) or they would've fixed that problem. not a big problem, but it is slightly annoying.

Sega should release it officially so customers could support Sonic Mania even more.

Why Sega decided to leave Sonic Mania as a one-off I'll never know 'cause we could've had amazing sequels. Imagine "Sonic Mania 2" and "Sonic Mania 3" oh yeah!

Strange never had that happen in any other game or app so very weird it happens every time with Mania

Yep that's what I mean. Just sounds like a bullshit excuse by them to blame Android when it doesn't happen on pretty much every other android app ever.
I get your point, but you can't judge how a specific App behaves taking into consideration how "many others" do.

You can at any time, modify the Sonic Mania App yourself and make it work as you'd like it to, that's the reason the devs made the decompilation source code openly available.

Instead of complaining you should be thanking them for their hard work... Thank you Devs!

I just realized that the person answering me may not have been one of the devs, but just some random person. I closed the issue myself before I realized that. It may be fixed on a later version.

It's not designed for that afaik. The only thing different are debug symbols to help with diagnosing bugs.

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
