||||
* Be testable, where possible using CTest, but if not, in an emulated environment.
|
||||
* Be open source, using permissive licensed third party licensed libraries.
|
||||
* Be testable, using unit and smoke tests in ares emulated environment.
|
||||
* Encourage active development from community members and N64 FlashCart owners.
|
||||
* Support [PixelFX N64Digital](https://gitlab.com/pixelfx-public/n64-game-id)

It is not currently possible to directly communicate with USB devices.
|

BUT, as a work around you can use a proxy TCP/IP connection
|
||||
Set up a proxy: open a terminal window, `cd ./tools/sc64` and then `./sc64deployer.exe server`
|
||||
|
||||
Then in the dev container, use `./remotedeploy.sh`
|

Then in the dev container, use `make run` or `make run-debug`
