Oldplay v1.1 (Dingoo Linux Application)

Oldplay plays plenty of older but also news audio formats.

Changes:

– Added UADE plugin * To play an amiga song using the UADE plugin you need to copy the players folder and the score, uaerc, eagleplayer.conf and uade.conf files included in the oldplay folder. Also you don’t need to change the names of the songs since the plugin should handle prefix extensions too. *
– Added new ST-Sound plugin.
– Added new Hively Tracker plugin.
– Added song description tags in vgmstream plugin.
– Added a formats database (formats.db) for vgmstream and UADE plugins. * Basically is a file that includes a list of all supported extensions by these plugins. They support a LOT of formats (~350 by UADE and ~250 by vgmstream) and i haven’t tested all of them, so some may not work. *

Surprise Attack! (Pandora misc)

As usual we are lagging with the Pandora news 🙂 Here is another update from the official blog!

Quote:

Yesterday, we were in for quite a surprise!

On Thursday, air traffic was back to a regular state – but delivery services (like UPS) have quite a backlog and need some time to catch up.
They told us, our shipment won’t arrive before early next week.

Therefore, Craig was quite surprised when he found a note left by UPS yesterday at his door that there had been a shipment for him – and that they left it to a neighbouring business.

And there he found it: The shipment from Texas. Lying around on the grass, visible for everyone – and nobody was really paying attention to it.
Quickly he delivered the packages to where they belong – and now everything is safe and sound. Still a scary thought that about half a million USD were lying around on the grass…

Anyways, that does mean: The boards, LCD, WiFi Antennas and some other minor things have arrived in the UK!

Now we need to wait for the cases. Those cases have been produced and painted, but as it looks like, UPS won’t pick them up until sometime next week (I guess they try to deliver the stalled shipments first and then start picking up new ones once their back in normal state).

As usual, we’ll let you know when UPS picked things up (well, if they tell us… as said, we didn’t know the boards would arrive yesterday ;))

ScummVM v1.1.1 (Wii misc)

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

Release notes:
