ROCKNIX nightly 20260822 - No module named 'pygame.base' on RG SP

[santiliciousss]

Device:
Anbernic RG SP (2026 model)

ROCKNIX Version:
nightly 20260822

RAOfflineProxy Version:
RAOfflineProxy-Rocknix-v1.11.1-alpha1-Install

Description:

The installer completes successfully and RAOfflineProxy appears in the Tools menu. However, when launching RAOfflineProxy, it immediately opens a gray screen displaying:

No module named 'pygame.base'

The application never reaches the logo or main menu.

Investigation:

python3 --version

Python 3.14.7

Attempting to import pygame:

python3 -c "import pygame"

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
import pygame
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'

Changing to the bundled RAOfflineProxy app directory:

cd /storage/.local/share/raofflineproxy/app
python3 -c "import pygame; print('OK')"

Results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
import pygame
File "/storage/.local/share/raofflineproxy/app/pygame/init.py", line 139, in
from pygame.base import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.base'

The bundled pygame files exist, including:

/storage/.local/share/raofflineproxy/app/pygame/base.cpython-313-aarch64-linux-gnu.so

and many other pygame modules compiled as:

*.cpython-313-aarch64-linux-gnu.so

Possible Cause:

ROCKNIX nightly 20260822 ships with Python 3.14.7, while the bundled pygame extensions included with RAOfflineProxy appear to be compiled for CPython 3.13 (cpython-313).

This may cause Python 3.14 to fail loading the bundled pygame modules, resulting in the "No module named 'pygame.base'" error on startup.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Install RAOfflineProxy-Rocknix-v1.11.1-alpha1-Install.
2. Launch the installer and complete installation.
3. Open RAOfflineProxy from the Tools menu.
4. Observe immediate startup failure with "No module named 'pygame.base'".

Thank you for your work on the project.

Thanks for the detailed report, your diagnosis is spot on.

ROCKNIX nightly 20260822 switched the system Python to 3.14, and the pygame files shipped inside RAOfflineProxy were built for Python 3.13. Python won't load modules built for a different version, which is exactly the No module named 'pygame.base' you saw.

The fix is to ship both versions in the same bundle so it works on stable ROCKNIX (3.13) and the nightlies (3.14) alike.
Test build here: RAOfflineProxy-Rocknix-v1.11.1-alpha2-py314-Install.sh

If it still fails, /storage/.config/raofflineproxy/menu-stdout.log will have the details.

Thanks for the test build!

I just tested it on my RG SP running ROCKNIX nightly 20260822, and everything is working correctly now. RAOfflineProxy launches without any issues.

Really appreciate the quick response and the fast fix. Thanks again for the support!
