Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / How can I port Arduboy Games to Tiny Arcarde?

« on: December 27, 2016, 05:55:45 AM »

Hi everybody,

I would like to add more Games to my Tiny Arcarde.
I am not talented in programming at all, but I can do some 'script kiddie' tasks.
Anyway I thought, maybe it is possible (in easy way) to port some of those Arduboy Games to Tiny Acarde.

Maybe someone can help me out with this.

Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / Where can I find additional Games for Tiny Arcarde?

« on: December 27, 2016, 05:52:03 AM »

Hello everybody,

I would like to know, where I can find new/other games for Tiny Arcarde.
I already downloaded the "Games Pack" from the Website inkluding ~6 Games,
but I would like to add more.

Is there anybody who did some ports of other games or maybe even some homebrews?

Greetings

Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / Sudden Breakdown

Well, I was playing on the TinyArcarde and switched it off and left it to make a call.
Then I tried to switch it on again but nothing happened. I first thought it was out of battery so i plugged it in the micro USB but it still wouldn't start. So I checked if the screen was properly mounted to the shield. That was the case too.
I left it charging for like 2 hours just to be sure but nothing!

I dissembled it again (and even broke 2 pins even though i was super careful, now I am really pissed) plugged out the battery and the screen and put everything again together. Nothing.

It just doesn't work any more and I've got zero clue why.
How can I get an replacement for this?
I would like to send it back and get a new one.

Also my SD Card is not recognized.
- I updated the Menu (now all pre-installed games are gone)
- I downloaded "AllGames.zip" and copied it to the SD Card
- I insert the SDCard and switched on, but the TinyArcarde is stuck at "Finding SD card.." (and is not progressing, no matter how long I wait)

(my SD Card ist a SanDisk Ultra 16GB MicroSD HCI - at least that's what it said)

//edited: Worked, I formatted my SD Card again and copied all files as directories (not *.zip) into the root directory of the SD Card.

PS: I think many (first-time) users would appreciate some Tutorial or Easy-to-find-Section about Games (where to download, how to install) somewhere on the front page. Took me almost an hour and heavy searching on the website till I found the games to download! Something like a Starters Guide (next to the Construction Tutorial)

Tiny Arcade & Pocket Arcade / Onboard games gone (after Menu Update)

« on: June 19, 2016, 09:55:24 AM »

Well, I got my TinyArcarde and after assembling, I wanted to update the menu as suggested on the website.
That worked well thanks to the step-by-step instructions.

Sadly, after the UpDate, all the TinyArcarde said was "Finding SD CArd, SD card not found, looking for game...No Game loaded."

Previous to that, there were 3 games on the TinyArcarde and now they are GONE.
I also cannot find an instruction how to get them back nor find games, I can load onto my MicroSD

Please help me.
1) how can I get back the (first) preinstalled games
2) where can I find more games to copy to my SD Card
