RG28XX support was contributed by GamerAnim. Its panel is mounted
portrait, so slot turns the picture onto it. If it comes out upside down, add export SLOT_ROTATE=ccw
to System/launch_frontend.sh.
If you have one of the untested devices, or have tried slot on a device not listed, please open an issue on GitHub and let me know how it went.
AI Disclosure
The Rust frontend was put together by Claude Opus. I reviewed everything that was produced. All documentation is 100% free-range, meatbag prose.
The project is extremely low stakes. I wanted a bespoke frontend for my RG SP and thought that something that evokes the feeling of using my GBA SP as a kid would be pretty neat.
Use it, don't use it, I don't care.
Figured I should share the end result of all the wasted water. ✌🏻
