I am a noob when it comes to compiling stuff, but I have a step by step how to get the environment pretty much setup for the LeapTV. The LeapPad is basically the same, but different controls etc. Does anyone have any knowledge of compiling stuff that would want to jump in and tinker around?

I have quite a few LeapPad 2's with busted touch screens, but everything else should be functional. If anyone wants to get one to poke around with and see about getting a NES emulator etc, that would be great. is0-mick got a mame emulator running on the LeapTV and I got it to run on the LeapPad2, but again, without controls. I am happy to ship off some busted screen tablets if anyone just wants to cover shipping within the USA.



We have quite a bit of info on the LeapFrog and Vtech "toys" at our Spiffy Hacks forums :)

Anyone interested?

I had is0-mick help me out and we got Duke compiled and fully running from an app on the LeapPad Ultra. Now I need to adjust the size so it fits better, try to adjust the sensitivity of looking around and make it so it changes weapons when you tap the screen. Other then that its fully working! Runs fast and sound is great.

I plan to package this up into a single zip that is installable via my LeapPad Manager app. Then on to Doom, maybe a nes emulator etc. Unsure if I can do those on my own, but we will see what happens.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
