Connect Four: Zero gravity

Image
Wow, people worked on Christmas Eve!: Connect Four: Zero Gravity v1.1 December 24, 2009 jo3_sum has released his Connect 4 style game for the native firmware. Glad to see another devolper for the native firmware    Welcome jo3_sum! Quote ======================== Rules: ======================== The rules are extremely similar to Connect 4, but with a few twists. A player can insert his or her own pieces from any angle of the playing field falling into the opposite direction. And sometimes spaces are covered by black spots which block the way for falling  pieces. First player to have their pieces 4 in a row wins! Discuss it here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingoo-releases/connect-four-zero-gravity-v1-1/ connectfour_zerogravity_1.1.zip Author/Porter: jo3_sum Download: http://jo3-sum.consoleworld.net/files

Dmenu 0.6 for Dingux released

SavedLinuXgeeK brings news of a new Dmenu release: Hey everyone,    Dmenu has reached that point again where another release is ready for the public.  In this the release a lot of work has happened internally to make the code base more stable, and to prepare it for upcoming changes.  And as opposed to the last release, this release should not require any changes on the user's part, apart from dropping in the new files. So without further ado, the changelist: Quote - Various bug fixes - Added ability to use global resources in themes.      If you prefix a path in a theme with 'global:' it will pick up     the file from the "resources" directory.  This allows for the sharing of     fonts, sounds, images, etc.  Hopefully this will reduce the overall     disk footprint of the menu.  Not sure, but the menu may also run     better if multiple code points are using

Desperate times call for cheap publicity stunts: A free Dingoo from Dingoo-Scene – if you are Mr Stephen Fry

In July - too long ago - I wrote this chest thumping call to arms for Dingoo lovers everywhere.  In it, I declared that: unless we all made an effort to lift the Dingoo’s profile, it would die the Slow Tortured Death of GTZ (Gizmondo Tapwave Zodiac); and as no one on this planet is more than 6 degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon, it was inevitable that surely one of us must be linked to someone famous, who can be convinced to spruik the Dingoo, thus saving all our lazy bottoms. Sadly, the urgency which imbued my post is today, not less diminished. Here we are, 6 months on, and absolutely no one of any celebrity, minor, scandalous, self promoting, or otherwise, has emerged to promote the cause of this little machine that could. It is clear that more drastic action is required. Like bribery. I’ve made an executive decision that the subject of our bribery will be Mr Stephen Fry, actor, man-about town, raconteur and tech lover. Why you Mr Fry? Well, your blog ind

Dingux SNES9x – Game FAQ read function enabled

Image
Thanks to Elta for this Dingoonity post: Hello people One thing I liked from the native OS emulators is the possibility to read the game FAQ from within the emulator. I travel a lot by train and I wanted to play some SNES RPGs, but taking a printed copy of the FAQ with me isn't the most convenient solution.  So I decided to modify snes9x to add the FAQ viewer functionality. I'm publishing the source code here because the code can easily be reused for any emulator. The archive also contains a precompiled modified version of snes9x. The viewer is rather simple for now, and will only work with ASCII files. Also all tab characters are replaced by a single space. To use it, simply put a text file with the same name as your ROM and with extension '.txt' in the same folder. For example if you load 'Chrono_Trigger.zip' the viewer will try to load &

MAME4ALL Dingux v1.2!

Image
Slaneesh bring great news today … though you’ll hve to wait for the file repository to update before it’s available! Thank’s Slaneesh! From: http://www.slaanesh.net/2009/11/mame4all-dingux-v12.html Finally a new release of MAME4ALL Dingux - it's up to version 1.2 now. The main changes are: - Added A320 screen brightness option to frontend. - Fixed bug with games containing multiple FM sound systems. Was allocating two identical FM tables and segmentation faulting when on exit (trying to free the same table of memory twice). This stops some games crashing on exit. - More speed and smaller executable. Perhaps some of the larger games may run now? See the included "whatsnew.txt" for complete details. If you have any questions, please refer to the "readme.txt" and "faq.txt" first! 99% of questions can be answered in here if you look first. By all means, ask if

Dingoo Mega Pack 1.0

Do you have complete control over all what’s released for the Dingoo (native firmware)? If so, you may ignore this. If not, here comes Dingoo Mega Pack to the rescue. First Dingoo Mega Pack is now released. This is a pack of games and emulators for native firmware. You'll have to get the bios image required for LynGOO (lynx) yourself, since it's not legal for me to provide it in this package. See LynGOO.txt for more info. *** Instructions *** Just unzip directly to your dingoo's internal memory. Readme files for games and apps are placed in A:\TXT\README so that they are easily accessible with the ebook reader. If you run check_problems.bat it will tell you if there are any problems, such as missing bios images or conflicting emulators. *** List of games/apps *** Emulators * ColeCOO 3.1 ( Colecovision ) * DOOENGINE 0.9c ( PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16 )

Native firmware LynGoo updated to v 1.1

Spiller has updated his great Atari Lynx emulator to v 1.1: "v1.1 (15 Nov 2009) - Added screen rotation controls. - Added sound on/off control. - Added CRC32 checks to save/load state. - CPU Speed set to 400MHz. - Frameskip disabled; not effective. Important note regarding save states The format for save state files has changed in v1.1. This means that save states from previous versions of LynGOO can no longer be loaded. This is an unfortunate but neccessary change. On the bright side: save states should now be compatible with the original Handy emulator and its ports. Status with regards to some requests I got earlier: Graphical glitches in Shadow of the Beast and Roadblasters have not been fixed yet. Saving and loading the config is still not implemented; too much internals are changing still. Adding a scanline filter is low priority and in reality I may never be able to add it. Performance enhancements seem unneccessary now that LynGOO runs at 400MHz. Grab it here: h

GnuBoy freeze fix

In case you have a newer Dingoo without a paw mark on the back, you might have freezing issues with GnuBoy (native). Here’s a fix for the problem. Update: There has been reports both from people saying it does work and from people saying it doesn't. Feel free to write in the comments if it works / if it doesn't work for you (if you have the dingoo without the paw mark). This is a fix for memory leaks which caused it to crash on the newest dingoos, those without a paw mark.

Diana or Anna: the naked truth and what it all means!

Hah, you thought I was just a fanboy, didn’t you ? Skip right past the fact that I get to use the word “naked” on this site significantly less than is desirable, and you’ll notice things if you try hard enough. Just like this guy . According to the data so far (check out the poll results and comments from here ), Diana and Anna from V are just as hot as each other (though Zaxxon Q Blaque’s comment must surely have some Casting Vote effect, I say!).  This is an unquestionable truth, but you don’t come here for the bleeding obvious (go here instead). No, there’s much to be learned from this seemingly straightforward observation, starting with this: assuming that everyone who saunters by these parts is a Dingoo user, this result leads me to conclude, rather unscientifically (but hey, that hasn’t stopped me before ) that: 1.  About half of all Dingoo users are old enough to remember how hot Diana was in 1983. Assuming you were 14 then (hey, who else had time to enjoy TV?), that make

Mancala for Dingux released (Mandingoo was released in 1975)

Image
A somewhat new game for Dingux from ZX-81: Dingux-Mancala: A Mancala Game v1.1.0 for Dingoo/Dingux Hi All, Mancala is a board game familly, originated in East Africa. The word "Mancala" came from arabic word "naqalah" that means literaly "To move".
