Hello,

(regarding rule 10, skip to the end of the post)

I bought an Evercade EXP-R a few weeks ago, my sole purpose of buying one was to simply run my stuff on it. The pack-in Tomb Raider cart was cool, I guess, but I wanted to run my stuff on it the day it arrived. I knew that previous devices by Blaze used Rockchip CPUs, so I was ready with some Rockchip development tools on my Linux laptop.

I was trying the simplest stuff possible at first, found out that you can put an Evercade EXP-R into "Loader" mode by holding down VOL+ on a turned off unit and connecting it to a PC.

Adding LiveSplit support into your GameMaker game

This guide is intended for developers who want to assist speedrunners with creating auto-splitters but don't know how to do it.

You don't actually need to use any external DLLs, all you need is one huge buffer that will contain all the information needed for speedrunners.

Why should I bother?

Great question!

This is the documentation for the gm82con extension.

gm82con allows you to manage your own debug console window for whatever purposes.
