Unlike Airball, the Mini Slug is not a remake, but rather a kind of reimplementation using sprites and sounds ripped from some of the games in the series, but the stages are totally new and difficult . The Mini Slug Project by Clément CORDE OpenDingux Build by Shin-NiL Controls * D-Pad - Move * A Button - Shoot * B Button - Jump * X Button - Grenade * Y Button (at name entry only) - alternate characters * L Shoulder (at menu only) - alternate number of credits Discuss it here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingux-releases/mini-slug-opendingux/ minislug_dingoo_03-03-2013.zip Author/Porter: Shin-Nil Download: http://oldschoolprg.x10.mx/projets.php#minislug

Main GCW Zero thread on Dingoonity locked

Dude, where’s my thread? Where’s my thread, dude?

Over at Dingoonity, ominipotent admin omgmog has done what readers of and posters on this loud, boisterous, often obnoxious, sometimes informative and rarely boring thread covering the ever late GCW Zero have probably long expected. He’s quite understandably locked the thread. 

And deservingly so!  So full of vitroil, venom and bile was it! An evil thread. If you viewed it, you would die!  One moment, it was a sweet innocent little child without acting talent, next its like all black, dark, scarred, scarring, spouting bad dialogue and then, and then … noooooooooo:

 

For a while, my days were sunny again.  The clouds lifted, and the implacable darkness that overtook my soul whenever I heard the words “GCW Preorder” was no more.  Dank, destructive, dark and drab disappeared.  Rainbows streamed across my newly winsome skies. I sing. I play with ponies. Lollypops taste good. I dress like Bradley Cooper. My forum reading days, long imprisoned, slip the surly bonds of trolls and touch the words of omgmog.

I’m, like, “This is good. Healthy even.”

Alas,it was then, at this moment of joyous rapture, that the epiphany dawned.  There are no rainbows without rain. Meanwhile, the Zero is still out there, somewhere, over one of them, next to some lullaby. Hell, what if this current rainbow goes, and there’s no pot at the end of it, and then its already stopped raining, ‘cus everyone’s like all, happy now and so our tears are no longer cussin’ down from the heavens to make the next rainbow, so there’d be no more moisture in the air to separate that colour spectrum, and so on. Clear?

The reasons for Dingoonity’s locking are sound, of course. Omgmog says that server space, and the time of his admins, have been unnecessarily and wastefully devoted to policing a device, that isn’t really a dingoo at all!  Damn straight, dude, bet you regret blessing the Zero with its own section now, all them months ago!

And you loathsome, whining, posting ingrates! From now, just feel lucky you’re not relegated to the Dingoonindignity of “Other Portable Devices”! Note to all derogatory swine: Please post only after the daily Prozac.

Of course, here at Dingoo-scene, with our readership of grandma, uncle Cheong and two Axolotyls, we’re a tolerant and comatose bunch, so no such reservations exist.  Come ravage our server space and comment on your favourite cause today! Got something to say on Zero? Say it. Healthy discussion has got to be a good thing. Those rabble suckers who ordered early with something to say should be heard.  One way or another, they probably will be, as such is the nature of things on these interwebs.

You’re welcome to do it here.

I’ll even get the ball rolling for y’all. Here’s the last post before the thread was locked.  Feel free to continue it. You don’t even have to register.:

I have no problem with people wanting proof they were promised. What I do have a problem with is blatant lying. The H350 is the early Zero. End of story. I am not sure why this theory persists. Yes, but they really are the exception, are they not? I oppose the idea that there is a horde or disgruntled beings out there causing mayhem, all with the single minded purpose of de-railing thread and causing a **** storm. Logged Not just a hairy face

TheXSample-SXELROM v3.0 for JXD S7300B

 

TheXSample-SXELROM v3.0 for JXD S7300B Use of this article It allows you to use this review, either by copying or referenciándola link to anyone who wants it, with the only condition that remains the author and a link to the original source of this review, which is cited in the following section . Source and update the information in this article The original article (in Spanish) is in my blog . For updates on this article, I suggest visiting one of the links above. About this overview This article is a summary, and contains only the most relevant features. To read the full article, look at the link above. Features Here is a short list of changes included in this version of firmware. Later in this article, there is a section with extended information about these changes. Firmware Include support for USB Bluetooth dongles This includes new governors set for the console hardware Tincore Driver Calibration ajusatada for DPAD Improvements and optimizations in the driver code, to get even less lag. Tincore KeyMapper Support for languages. Minor improvements in UI tool DEBUG Option Creating online guide tool Note on Bluetooth Support Not all Bluetooth USB dongles behave the same way, and the clasificaré in 3 groups: Only some have 100% support, and able to connect, disconnect and work seamlessly with the device. Others may only work if you are connected to the console from the start of it, and if disconnected, they will not start until you restart the console. And others, very few, may not be able to work with the console. That said, emphasizing that most dongles that we used in the tests correspond to Group 2 of the above list, and only one has been in group 1, but still the connectivity and operation we tested is suitable and practical, if we have the console plugged into a TV. What's more, the videos I uploaded to show this feature, corresponding to a dongle in group 2, and as you can see works seamlessly with multiple devices. The video above shows the work in progress of this feature. On connectivity Sixaxis (Using a SIXAXIS with the console) Overall, there have been problems with device connectivity, but if identified and strange behavior is that when connecting Sixaxis controls, after a few seconds in some cases these are switched off (or when you connect a second controller is off the first), but not always the case and simply reconnect the tool again. According to the evidence, it may be because, for some reason, the program does not work well when the controls are low on battery (below 50%). (Console working with 2 sixaxis connected simultaneously) Version Recustom It has generated a TheXSample-SXELROM v3.0 release Recustom with the same characteristics as the original rom, plus some extra programs related withthe bluetooth. Download Links TheXSample - SXELROM v1.0 TheXSample-SXELROM Firmware v3.0 [Mega Mirror ] For more links, see the original article of this release. Credits: As in previous updates, here is the work of many people, although it seems small upgrade, I can say it's quite achieving the advancement of Bluetooth and achievers who deserve all the thanks, and among which I will highlight a Skelton (great manager of the idea), Christian Troy, Lomax, Tincore (which never tires of implementing improvements) and myself, that force me to go out in the credits XD, plus I can leave out now . We also wanted to give a thank you to the store Willgoo, that has been very helpful to give us the necessary support to add the option of accelerometer in the mapping tool (released in a previous patch), and now we have the "Wiimote style "to play some retro-gaming (it's great to play Mario Kart 64, tilting the console like a Wii steering wheel): D The special thanks of this firmware is for the groups "The Mox", "Les Miserables", "Marilyn Manson" and Daft Punk (among others) for that because we had a lot of energy injected encouragement and strength to the long nights of testing that has taken this firmware. Zalu2! Deen0X

It’s … an Iben Android Game Player

Source: http://liliputing.com/2013/04/ibenx-gamepad-android-gaming-tablet-with-allwinner-a31-pcu.html Apparently Android tablets with built-in game controllers is now a thing. A company called ibenX is showing off a new 7 inch gaming tablet galled the ibenX GamePad, and it clearly shares some DNA with the Archos GamePad, JXD S7100, and Tekniser Tek 807D. But the ibenX tablet has a few features tha tmake it stand out. First, it’s powered by an Allwinner A31 ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core processor with PowerVR SGX 544 graphics. Second, it packs a 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display. With those specs, it looks better on paper than the Archos GamePad, which has a Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9 dual core CPU and a 1024 x 600 pixel display.
