FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches.

the_gama gave the source a go and now we have it compiled and ready to use for Dingux.

Hi, this is a port of FCEUX for Dingux.
I was working on the NESEMU port but i found about fceux and decided to give
it a try since it was a more mature emulator.

You can download it here.

If you don’t know how to install an app for dmenu, you can read the INSTALL file or search
in the forums for a more complete tutorial.

This is what i have done so far:

Features

– Based on fceux version 2.1.2
– Great compatibility
– Builtin nsf player
– FDS support
NOTE: You must put a copy of your fds bios (disksys.rom)
in the /local/home/.fceux folder.
– Fullscreen support
– Zipped roms

Alekmaul is about to port XFlib to native Dingoo. More about XFlib can be found here: http://www.xflib.net/

Quote:

To help devs on OS native, i’m going to implement a multimedia lib for Dingoo OS Native.
This lib is a port of xflib and will help you to make game for OS native.

What will you have in it :
– Multiple Backgrounds handling (tiles / bitmap in 16 bits mode), with gif /jpeg and perhaps png support if i solve pb with std functions
– Text handling
– Sprites (with rotation)
– wav sound support (4 channels with 16 bits unsigned, 22050 khz)

I think the lib will be available at the end of this week (so you will have enough time to use it for dingoo digital contest ^^)

If you need some nice feature in it, just tell me, i will try to implement it.

Thanks to alekmaul himself for the news.

Spiller has been improving his Atari Lynx emulator LynGOO. This emulator is written for native Dingoo and does not require any Dingoo Linux (Dingux) install.

Changes:

– 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.

The Giana’s Return Team posted progress about the recent Dingux port attempt.

Quote:

Slaanesh and Thor tried to hunt down the “segment fault” on Dingux. Unfortunatly it seems to be a SDL only problem and not a problem of the Giana’s Return source code. Our hands are tied for now 🙁

vimrc has updated MPlayer for Dingoo Linux.

Changes:

Serious Bugs fixed:
1. Fix the freezed problem when playing *.rmvb files. (Should be better than the official one)
2. Fix the chopping sound when playing *.wma and *.wmv files. (Still better than the offical one, much more smooth at least)

Note:
Inappropriate config file (/home/.mplayer/config) will deteriorate the performance. In fact Mplayer works well without the config file. So if you met several problems, just remove the config file and try it again. The side effect is: Maybe it will cause the sync problem, but feel free to modify the config file or overclock the cpu to mitigate it yourself.

Now the Mplayer for Dingux should be usable enough . It can handle *.mkv, *.ogg, *. rmvb file well. However, the patched version doesn’t support the H264 format, so if you want to play them, use this one (based on 20090903 version, rmvb supported. Unfortunately it still has the freezed probelm when playing rmvb files. But it provides better performance such as smooth forward/backward when playing other formats. I will try to patch this version if I have time, it will take for a while because this version’s codes changed a lot compared with the previous one. 🙂

Willems Davy (aka Joyrider) has ported GNUboy, the Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator, to native Dingoo!

Changes:

This is a fix for memory leaks which caused it to crash on the newest dingoos, those without a paw mark. I added my implementation of Spiller’s great idea for an auto memory reclaim function. /Harteex
