Hello,
I recently bought the Miyoo A30 and one of the first things I did was to try MinUi and install DevilutionX.
I tried to put it in several locations (including creating the specific folder that didn't exist) but I couldn't launch the game.
I then tried with Spruce, some versions are recognized but the game doesn't launch either.

I tried the i386 version but the Dosbox PURE version of spruce doesn't seem to want to install windows.

I've tried launching the Amiga version but I don't know enough about it and none of the Amiga emulators will launch the game (is there a way of converting the Amiga version into an emulator-readable rom?).

Maybe it's just too early for DevilutionX to work on custom firmware that's too recent?

Thanks in advance.

A30 looks to be an ARM based device with 512MB ram, can you give more info on it, I'm not familiar with it. How do you normally install or build applications for it?
How did you install DevilutionX, what version?

What locations?
What folder?
What happened when you try to launch it?
How did you try to launch it?

What versions, what does "recognized" imply?

Boot in to Amiga OS, mount the disk and double click the application. It does require an Amiga with an accelerator so might not work with a simple emulator.

Well all the info i found are from there :

Miyoo A30 / 282 Miyoo / Bittboy 2024 / 05 Landscape Linux (Tina) Allwinner A33 Cortex-A7 4 Cores 4 Threads 1.2 GHz - 1.5 GHz ARM Mali-400 MP2 500 MHz "512 MB
(Source)" 2.8 inch IPS 640 x 480 285.71 PPI 4:3

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1irg60f9qsZOkhp0cwOU7Cy4rJQeyusEUzTNQzhoTYTU/edit?gid=0#gid=0

To install it first i've taken DevilutionX 1.5.0 on this page :

https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/releases/tag/1.5.0

The i've taken MinUi CFW from here

https://github.com/shauninman/MinUI

And followed the instruction from the first video.

Then taken the "devilutionx-miyoo-mini-miniui.zip " and follow the instruction in the readme.txt "devilutionx(Diablo port) for MiniUI
====================================

Installation
--------
- Copy this folder onto your SD card in the location /Roms/Native Games (SH)/"

There wasn't "Native Games (SH)" in the Roms folder so I created it.
Then after launching MinUi on the miyoo A30 with the new prepared SD card, I can't found DevilutionX or Diablo or any "native games (SH)" folder.

I Just buyed the Miyoo A30 and never add to install / use MinUI so i don't really know what it would be if it had to work...
Then I've tryed with the Spruce 1.4.3 fimeware from here :

https://github.com/tenlevels/spruce/releases

Then i tried different version of devilutionX vers 1.5.0

devilutionx-linux-aarch64.tar.xz

devilutionx-linux-i386.tar.xz

devilutionx-linux-x86_64.tar.xz

Extracted the three in differents folder in the "ports" folder

None of them would appear in the "ports" section of the console.
I had zero method the firs time i tried so i cant' say witch one was showing the forst time but never launched the game.

Then launched spruce on the console and what it "recognize", i mean that the console only show some folder but i can't remember witch one it was...

And for the amiga version, there is no "amiga launch" i know, that only emulation and i don't know enough of it but i thinks it's retroarch cores "puae" "puae2021" and "uae4arm"
Attachments:
I've tested a few more with the spruce 1.4.3 firmware :


devilutionx-miyoo-mini-miniui.zip

devilutionx-miyoo-mini-onion-os.zip

devilutionx-windows-i386.zip

devilutionx-windows-x86_64.zip

Only the miyoo mini minui folder appear and i could see an try the "launch.sh" but onlu give a black screen after charging something for a while.

(Sorry for my poo english, hope this will help. I don't know what i'am doing and testing at random...)

Note that 1.5.0 is a few versions old, try the latest version instead: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/releases/latest

I'm not familiar with Miyoo so I would suggest reaching out to Brocky or Glebm either via GitHub or Discord
