Error: unsupported bitdepth (16) for sprite

[villasenor]

Hi! I just tried to build and run your project in Ares (with no modifications), and I got this error:

ASSERTION FAILED: unsupported bitdepth (16) for sprite

I wasn't able to figure out how to change the bitdepth to accommodate that. Any ideas?

I believe there may have been several big changes in Libdragon since I last worked on this, as I see a lot of announcements in the N64Brew discord I haven't caught up on. Could you tell me a bit about the build environment? I'll have to research what exactly changed or find out if it's just a symptom of later libdragon releases.

If it's not the latest, what commit / branch / tag of libdragon are you using? If it was the docker build environment or the prebuilt stable binaries, did it say which version?

That makes sense. This particular machine is running Ubuntu 22.04 with the following compoents/versions that finally got me to a .z64 file (which doesn't work - see screenshot above, but at least it built):

• [email protected] (Commit hash df42e632b6ee05045becd12f49d65573402a822c)
• node v18.4.0
• npm v8.12.1
• Docker 25.0.0
• ares version 134

The first time I ran libdragon init I did get this error (probably because I didn't do a recursive clone and grab the submodule files):

Unable to create submodule. If you have copied the executable in your project folder or you have a file named libdragon, removing it might solve this issue. Original error:

...which I resolved by just deleting the folder and letting init clone it down again with latest (which is how I achieved the version stack mentioned in the beginning):

When I do a fresh recursive clone so that I get the hash you used, it errors out at libdragon init:
