A Tamagotchi emulator mod for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Tamarush is a Bomb Rush Cyberfunk mod that adds in a Tamagotchi emulator, built from the ground up to fit in unity/BRC, while also keeping and even adding onto the core features of the projects it based off, which are: Tamalib, Tamatool.
The Tamarush mod can be downloaded from Thunderstore, or directly in your thunderstore based mod managers like R2ModMan
You most get your own legally obtained ROM: This mod does not have any of the game code, just code to mimic the hardware needed to run the game. You will need to get your own legally obtained rom, and then place it/them in your BepInEX/TamaRush/Roms folder.
You most get your own legally obtained Background/Icon Images: You will need to get your own Backgrounds/Icon images, and place them in BepInEX/TamaRush/Icons & BepInEX/TamaRush/Backgrounds. You can easily find some in Tamatool's repo here: Link
Tamarush adds a new phone app to the in-game phone, which is where you can do everything you need to releating to this mod
Controls for the emulator, are the phone buttons: When you are in the play mode, BRC's inputs are rewired to only let you intereact with the emulator, which you with either:
- Dance Button: Leave play mode/close tamagotchi emulator
- Phone Left: Left button on a tamagotchi
- Phone Center: Center button on a tamagotchi
- Phone Right: Right button on a tamagotchi
- Phone Down: Tap input in the form of a button (used for Angel devices/roms)
ROM Files can be named what ever you want, but they must end in either ".b" or ".bin": Tamarush only supports .bin based roms, however there is a system in place to automically rename any .b files into .bins when they are found, so you can still use .b roms like normal.
Only 5 Save files, per ROM, will be stored at one time (Not including backups): For each rom, only 5 save files will be saved at a given time, with new save files always overwriting the oldest one
ROM's Save folders, where the save files are stored, are based on the ROM's name: Your save files for each rom, and the folder they are placed in, will be named after whatever is the rom is named.
Tamalib: TamaRush's emulator is heavily based off of Tamalib, just built from the ground up to only work in unity/BRC
TamaTool: Extra features in TamaRush like LCD colors, speed, save states, were based on features from TamaTool, which is a stand alone emulator also built on top of Tamalib
BRC-CODE-DMG: After getting stuck on the rendering pipe line between BRC and the emulator, I looked at this project and figured out Delta Transform was my fix. I also used this project to figure out how to wire up audio from the emulator, into BRC.
