Application Submission

This app plays back tool-assisted speedrun files on video game consoles (currently only the Nintendo 64)

Extra Requirements

This reads files from the microSD card and sends output to a game console connected via the GPIO pins. This usually requires modifying a controller extension cable.

It looks like the CI build is failing because the Flipper code in the repo #includes code from outside the Flipper-specific subdirectory, and the CI copies just the Flipper subdirectory into the tmp location where the build is run. Is this a CI bug, or is this configuration not supported? It's somewhat important for multi-platform applications like this one.

Yes, everything your app uses should be in its folder. You can use fap_private_libs for building 3rd-party code with specific defines or requirements.

Your app is cool, looking forward to compatibility fixes!

This isn't about third-party code; it's about my own app's platform-generic code, which is pulled in by the flipper variant. Just cramming it in flipper/lib wouldn't help. I guess I could put the .fam in a separate repo, and pull in the real code as a submodule? Or I could put the .fam in the root of the repo, but it'd be pretty weird to have a single flipper-specific file in there while everything else lives in a subdirectory.

I looked into details of your project - and I think it can be slightly changed by moving common code into a submodule and adding that submodule to Flipper's application dir.

Unfortunately, current catalog's implementation requires all code to be within root app's directory - the one with application.fam in it. Bundler script creates a snapshot of source code in that directory and stores it on the backend. Includes from outside of that directory are not resolvable after that, leading to app build errors.

@hedger i think we can switch to git-archive-all that can perform submodules packing

Please un-draft when fixed.
