This sounds awesome!
But how do I use it?
Sorry, I hope the question is not to dumb, I just cannot see how the .exe will run at a Nintendo Switch/PS5 with this

The MKXP script section. Replace the whole thing with the script above.

And then I just take the whole game folder via USB to a ps5 and it will read the .exe and run it? Just like that?

The PS5 cannot run Windows executables. You would need a PS5 version of mkxp-z, which (to my knowledge) does not exist.

PS3/4/5 must have Linux.

It must have Linux.

And I guess for Nintendo Switch is the same?
To get Linux you have to "modify" your console, right? Normally you cannot get it.

Modded consoles, yes. Stock, no.

Hey, thanks for this script, but how does it make Android (joiplay) better? Don't you usually run mkxp games on joiplay without needing this? I personally have some problems with my game and joiplay so if this solved them it'd be awesome

I should clarify that this doesnt add Joiplay compatibility. Instead, it improves how the game runs on Joiplay and fixes compatibility issues between Joiplay versions.

I'll try later then, thx!

I get an error right away when compiling, you shouldn't have the imath text there, but it runs if you use the $ instead. Otherwise it just throws up errors. No idea if that affects anything, I'm still not great at coding.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it. I haven't had a crash with it, so I do ask what version you are using (Essentials) :)

V21.1 with the hotfixes. I'm not sure what caused the issues with imath, but a check with changing the entire line with imath in it to this instead fixed it. No idea how that impacts the code if at all.

So I think it's an EeveeExpo thing. I just typed it up and it changed the cash symbol into imath.

 

[SashaTheYeen]

[imath]ResizeInitialized = false if !defined?([/imath]ResizeInitialized)

This is the code I use, with $ signs. If it says imath, then it's an EeveeExpo thing.

Just clarified that it is an EeveeExpo thing because it did that to my game's thread when talking about the price of EV/IV items that are in the game.

How would you run this on a Wii U?
