Homebrew Sonic mania port to wii u

[2kshard]

Can anyone use the recent sonic mania decompilation to port it over to the wii u

What exactly is the difference between rsdk5 and rsdk5u?

The letter u?

I don't know, sorry!! I can only find a post on gamebanana regarding an extractor version of it? Maybe that is it?

Windows has 4 separate versions of sonic mania, each uses a different game.dll

Found this....



Still nothing about the U on the git page but clearly listed as a U version.

Which fork are you trying to compile?

 

[Lostbhoy]

Also this from the creator? Forker lol?

I already compiled them all aside from Linux and Android.

I just compiled the Linux build, but I cannot test it, so I'd need someone with linux to. I think it's due to wsl as I get a segmentation fault error no matter what regardless of distro. I even tried the official soh app image for Linux, same error. I compiled soh for linux myself, and I got that error, so I think these all work, just can't test them with wsl. you do need at least GLEW installed or it won't load, plus you need to supply the data.rsdk:

@godreborn You don't distibute Linux tools as .zip. In case you need to make an archive use something preserving Linux file permissions, like tar with one of the various compression algos it supports.
After fixing the lost permission I get a black screen. This is without a data.rsdk file through as I don't have one.

Your build is working.

I also have compiled it by myself a few weeks ago, it worked just fine.

 

[godreborn]

that's normal if you don't have a data.rsdk.

my other builds like soh probably work as well, just can't get any of them to run, and I think it's because I'm not using full linux.

@godreborn Have a look at this: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2855#issuecomment-358861903 - you probably either didn't set the DISPLAY environment variable or did not install VcXsrv on the Windows side.

//EDIT: To persist the DISPLAY environment variable add it to your .bashrc like described in other comments at the link. Else you have to set it each time (either with export or by prefixing the programm call to it, like DISPLAY=localhost:0 ./RSDKv5).

I don’t use linux but I’ll gladly test the Windows executable on my Win7.

They're cool, i very nearly used the second set u have but decided to mix it up a bit and the sound took all my energy! If anyone wants one made with those i could make another? Unless of course you share yours!

Yes please do! I would make them myself but I'm not sure how to. I would like the regular sonic mania icons and banners (not the Plus version)

where does the data.rsdk go? that's the only thing not clear to me.

You can also grab the setting.ini from the vita port. Not entirely sure they all work but it does change the username in the green box that pops up at start to anything you choose lol so we know it does work! Tapping the top left of the screen will bring up the dev menu for level select n stuff too. (careful if menu tho or you tap the buttons!)

Thanks to @sonictopfan for that info
