Port Issue: Cave Story Evo

[JeodC]

Cave Story Evo is pretty outdated with the launchscript and oga controls. Spelunky needed a gptokeyb update to accommodate new devices a while ago; this port needs the same treatment. Controls are mapped incorrectly on the Magic XU10.

#68

Pull Request #135 recompiled the nxengine-evo binary, which according to some users removed the 720x720 resolution. Need to test the old build against the new build on the RGB30 and verify if the 1:1 aspect ratio was a thing or if the game used a higher resolution that shrunk to fit the screen.

I don't know if it is the right place to add input about Cave Story controls, but on R36s handheld there are some issues with controls mapping. L2 and R2 are both mapped to C button, Start is recognized as double clicked, D-Pad Left and Right are mapped as direction buttons (which is good) and as prev. and next weapon button (not good).
I am running latest ArkOS from https://github.com/AeolusUX/ArkOS-R3XS
Port Master is updated to the latest version and Cave Story is downloaded directly from Port Master.

@JeodC Please let me know if you need additional help testing on a RGB30 and I'll be happy to help.

I don't own one so go for it.

I don't know how far back we need to go to see this working differently on 720x720 but I tried on latest and commit (3f4a3e86208e742eb2e1cf094ccc56a0a6dd0e19) just before they restructured the renderer in 2.6.5

https://github.com/nxengine/nxengine-evo/releases/tag/v2.6.4

binary from before the last update
https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/blob/884f91a9419705cf29fa15304c063ea33916bfe6/ports/cave.story-evo/nxengine-evo/nxengine-evo

also just has a 640x480 in the top left corner on RGB30

The current code doesn't have code for centering or any code to do non-integer scaling as far as I can see

Someone actually tried this PR on RGB30 with success
nxengine/nxengine-evo#275

If it helps, this was the patch used for adding 720x720 and some other resolutions for this port the last time I built this port. https://github.com/christianhaitian/rk3566_core_builds/blob/master/patches/nxengine-evo-patch-resolution.patch

Also 60fps support: https://github.com/christianhaitian/rk3566_core_builds/blob/master/patches/nxengine-evo-patch-60fps.patch

and rumble support for rk3326 and rk3566 devices that have rumble support that is not native. https://github.com/christianhaitian/rk3566_core_builds/blob/master/patches/nxengine-evo-patch-rumble.patch

For the rg351mp, that should have native rumble support for bsp kernel. maybe mainline as well.

Very Broken on the RG35XXH running muOS Baked Beans as well. Similar scrambled controls (volume down is even mapped as "yes"). Not sure where to look to fix things properly but I got it in a mostly working state by using the in-game remapping options.
