Howl Ye (I Dizhu) for A330

News courtesy of our brothers at Dingoo.br:

Google Translated from Portuguese: the Dingoo Games launched Howl ye, for the A330, one more game. This time the game is a turn based card game at cards more popular in China, the Dou Dizhu ( click here to read more about this game in the English version of Wikipedia). To install just simply unzipped the file " 斗地主. cc "folder in 3D. This folder, in turn, is inside the folder GAME. I would like to thank our fellow co- massi for notifying us about this release ( thanks buddy!) and apologize for the poor quality of the picture taken above (used my webcam since I do not have a digital camera. Only those old and classic cameras moved the photographic film xD) . DOWNLOAD

OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe) here soon?

Brasaral is making great progress on porting this to Dingux …

Well, I've been playing with it some more. It is true that at 320x240 it is almost unplayable. Almost all of the windows take up the entire screen and some are even larger (Main menu, Financial report, Settings, etc.). So, I've set the resolution to 640x480 and then resampled the output to 320x240 using simple averaging of the four pixels into one. This makes all texts unreadable, but that can be circumvented by using a larger font (this also enlarges the windows). It works quite fast and with a few optimizations, it will be even better. Now I am trying some fonts to find the best one. Darker text colors also look better, so maybe changing the white/yellow text into blue/black will do. Also I'm working on the controls, but soon it will be playable. Some screenshots of the game, but it looks much better on a Dingoo display:

The rest of the Etronmix A380 Reviews …

Source: http://gbatemp.net/t276450-dingoo-a380-video-review-parts-2-and-3

The guys from Etronixmart have released two more VIDs for their Dingoo A380 review. This first video below takes a look at what is in the box and then compares the A380 with the Dingoo A320. The unit is turned on and we see our first glimpse of the software and some of its functionality. Gemei Tech A330 users will see a familiar 2-player option screen, perhaps hinting at similar technology. The emulators appear to have the same type of menu as the Dingoo A320/A330 and GA330. The Gemei Tech A330, while benefiting from a speed increase, has similar (if not the exact same) emulators as the Dingoo products in regards to compatibility, options, look, feel, etc. The assumption here is that the new Dingoo is not yet benefiting from updated software, and why would it if the device will use Dingux out-of-the-box? The next video, the last in their review series, specifically talks about the 2-player gaming mode. Users will see how to set-up this mode, watch the two units sync-up, followed by some 2-player wireless gaming. One thing to note is that the NeoGeo BIOS rotating animations are not corrupted, hinting at the fact that they may have fixed the "HK" issue which plagued NeoGeo emulation on the later Dingoo systems. The video concludes by demonstrating the compatibility with the Dingoo A330 wireless game controller (around $15-30 extra). Viewers will note that 2 controllers are used towards the end of the video, something that was impossible to accomplish on the Dingoo A330 due to a hardware limitation.

Another Dingoo A380 …

Many moons ago, we reported of an impending A380 by Gemei.  Now, from GBATemp.net emerges news of another Dingoo A380:

C’mon now, once more with feeling:

We have received news of a new Dingoo branded handheld. The A380 offers 64MB of RAM (32MB more than the A320), 2-player local WIFI support (just like the Gemei MPS A330), and out-of-the-box Dingux support. There is no mention of the expansion slot being required for Dingux, it seems it might be running it as the main O/S. For more information and to get involved in the discussion please see the link below. QUOTE(Features) • 500 MHz processor • WQVGA TFT LCD (16:10) of 3.2 inches with a resolution of 400 x 240. • 64 MB of Ram. • WiFi, USB 2.0. • Emulators 3D/CPS2/CPS1/GB/GBC/GBA/MVS/NEOGEO/NES/SNES/SMD/PSX systems. • Rechargeable lithium battery can be recharged by USB or charger that brings. • TV output can be connected to the television. • Play RMVB, RM, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPEG, DAT, MP4 and ASF. • Plays MP3 files including MP3, FLAC, WMA, APE.

How (not(?)) to connect an SNES controller to Dingoo A320 … or: connecting an Arduino to Dingoo A320

Those wild and wacky hackers over at emulate.su have applied themselves magnificantly, and now you can play SNES Mario with a proper SNES controller (and a few odds and ends that you might just have hanging around, of course:)). Kudos!

Blink and you’ll miss it …

… but I think we have another one. This looks suspiciously like an A320 case, hacked – or butchered, as the case may be - with Wiz controls! It alleges “Support for NES/GB/GBC”, and retails from DX at a rather tempting $34.00 delivered.

Specs include:

- Can be used as MP3, MP4 player, camera, video recorder, voice recorder, mini game player, FM radio, picture viewer, text reader and memory storage - 2.8" TFT LCD screen display - Support 3GP/MP4/AVI video formats - Support MP3 audio formats - Picture browsing support JPG format - Support for NES/GB/GBC - FM tuner function (87.5~108MHz) - Support TV-out - Built-in microphone for voice recording - Support E-book: TXT - Internal memory: 2GB - Support up to 8GB Micro SD card - OSD Menu Language: English / Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / Japanese / Korean / French / German / Spanish / Portuguese / Italian / Russian / Polish / Turkish / Swedish / Dutch / Danish / Czech / Hungarian / Romanian / Indonesian / Greek

Tempting, that is, because who doesn’t love any ugly bastard child?

Hell Striker II released for A330

Hell Striker II (TianDiDao 2) Translated from Portuguese from www.dingoobr.com : Hell Striker II was released for the A330 Howl ye, the port official game Hell Striker II (known in China for TianDiDao 2 ). This game, action adventure, was released in early 2009 by Dingoo Games (one of four companies that comprise Howl ye) for mobile phones that use the platform Symbian . Now this game has won an excellent port for the A330 Howl ye! Fortunately, unlike past releases, the game features a translation into English, though quite limited. To install the game it is necessary first of all, have installed version 1.1 of the firmware (to download it if you do not have it installed, click here ). Since this version of firmware is installed just simply unzipped the file " 天地道完整版. cc"folder in 3D. This folder, in turn, is inside the folder GAME. DOWNLOAD NOTE: Special thanks to our buddy-colleague massi , for having warned me about the release of the game and also for having the courtesy to send a copy of the game. 谢谢你,老兄!

Slitherlink v1.0 Dingux

Slitherlink v1.0 January 13, 2011 Here we have a nice little puzzle game. Quote Hello everyone, Here's my first project for the Dingoo (Dingux): Slitherlink v1.0. Download and release notes • Introduction Slitherlink is a logic puzzle game created in 1989 by Japanese publisher Nikoli, famous for creating Sudoku, among many other logic puzzles. I discovered the game a few years ago on the Nintendo DS with 'Puzzle Series Vol. 5: Slitherlink', which was never released outside of Japan. It's such a good game I became addicted to it, and now it's time to spread the virus This is my version of the game for Dingux (Dingoo Linux). Its main features are: • 456 levels • Four grid sizes: 5x5 (easy), 7x7, 10x10, 20x20 (hard) • Undo button • Progress saved automatically • Save state option • Rules In Slitherlink, you draw lines on a grid to create a meandering path, following the rules: • The path must form a single loop, without crossing itself or branching. • The numbers indicate how many lines surround each cell. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines. There is one unique solution for each level. You can draw small x's on segments that cannot be connected. You should be able to find the solution by logical deduction only, without guessing. To Slitherlink beginners, I strongly advise to consult the Wikipedia page, and particularly the chapter 'Solution methods', which is a big help at the beginning.

How about a nice game of … Gamebox? Or Zeebo? Whatever!

Another day, another delectable Dealextreme gadget.  This time, it’s a “Gamebox”. More intriguingly, it appears to be a Zeebo clone. Never heard of Zeebo? Look it up.
