Mancala is a board game familly, originated in East Africa. The word “Mancala” came from arabic word “naqalah” that means literaly “To move”.

Dingux-Mancala is the “Awari” variant, and even if the rule of this game is simple, the complexity can be compared to a chess game.

The AI is based on the source code of H. Huseby & G.T. Lines, for their implementation of the classical Minimax algorithm.

Changes:

** UPDATE ** In previous version, AI was buggy, here is a fixed version (v1.1.2)

Dingoonity Firmware v1.2 is a custom firmware for the Dingoo-A320. It has been created by omgmog for the community at dingoonity.org, which should not hold you back to try it as it’s downloadable for everyone.

Changelog:
08/november/2009 – First version released

About:
This firmware is a modified version of the 1.2 firmware for the Dingoo. It features fixed/corrected strings for the menu, and custom theme support. Included is the “PSPingoo” theme from http://www.dingoo-digital.com/forums/theming/psdingoo-theme-v1-psp-xmb-theme-dingoo

Installation:
You should be able to install this by simply putting the a320.hxf file onto the root of your Dingoo’s internal memory, and holding down on the dpad while the Dingoo boots.

If you can’t install using this method because the Dingoo says that you’ve already got this firmware version, you can use this guide to install using the Dingoo Firmware Flasher – http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingoo-hacks/guide-flashing-custom-firmwares-to-your-dingoo/

After three beta releases, Spiller presents v1.0 of his Atari Lynx emulator LynGOO. This emulator is written for native Dingoo and does not require any Dingoo Linux (Dingux) install.

Release notes:

LynGOO v1.0

LynGOO is a Dingoo A320 port of Keith Wilkins Atari Lynx emulator Handy. This port is partly based on a PSP port of Handy, Plynx ( http://plynx.dcemu.co.uk ).

Do not ask the author for ROMs. I don’t have them.

Usage

Follow these steps to enjoy playing Atari Lynx games on your Dingoo:

1) Get ‘lynxboot.img’ file and download it. Due to licensing restrictions I cannot bundle it with this emulator.
2) Install LynGOO.SIM and lynxboot.img in the GAME folder of your Dingoo.
3) Install your *.LNX files on your Dingoo (for example in GAME/LNX).
4) Select one of the LNX files from the “Interesting game” menu item.

Press SELECT+START to bring up the emulator menu. The volume can be changed in-game by pressing the left and right shoulder buttons.

Changelog

v1.0 (11 Nov 2009) – Initial release.

Alekmaul has let me know about the current port situation of his native “Manic Miner” game for Dingoo. The game is based upon “Manic Miner” for PC from Andy Noble.

Alekmaul is still having minor issues with the sound output, once this is fixed, a public release wont be far.

Thanks to Alekmaul himself for the news.
