Reesy updated PocketSNES for native Dingoo OS!
Changes:
v1.2 uploaded – check first post for links
SRAM bug fixed – saves should now be correctly saved/loaded from the same directory as the currently loaded ROM.
Graphical preview now added to save state menu.
Let me know if you have any issues with the save states – I had to make a lot of changes to get it working as all of the code is designed for streaming to disk and not memory, so its quite likely I’ve broken something but I’ve not had any problems during my testing.
Later

LittleGPTracker (a.k.a ‘The piggy’) is a music tracker optimised to run on portable game consoles.
It implements the user interface of littlesounddj, a very famous tracker for the Gameboy platform that has been tried and tested by many users over the years, leading to a little complex but yet extremely efficent way of working.
Piggy currently supports 8 monophonic 16Bit/44.1Khz stereo sample playback channels. Additionally, the program can drive MIDI instruments (with the gp32 and gp2x a custom MIDI interface is required).
All versions are available for free ; however, if you like the project and want to contribute, don’t hesitate to do a small donation.
Release notes:
Hi all,
Just a quick post to announce that I made the first port of littlegptracker to the caanoo. LittleGPTracker is a sample based tracker (music program) optimized for game consoles. It is based on the famous lsdj for gameboy.
The first beta of the port is available at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/323652/lgpt_caanoo.rar
And will be updated offically on the lgpt site as soon as I finish polishing the angles.
Cheers
Marc.

Hatari is a very good emulator for ST and related machines (TT030, Falcon, etc, though ST support is its focus.) This is a full port of the emu, including hard drive support, etc.
Release notes:
Fresh for the new year, I thought I should get the latest Hatari ported and our pnd refreshed.
Still “START” button on the Pandora to bring up the config dialogs. (Default runs in windowed mode, but you can check ‘fullscreen’ off, or remap keys, or turn on various features etc etc. Its a great config system!)
(The previous build was back from August/Sept’s 2009 official Hatari release, but theres been some significant improvements released into the 1.4.0 a few months back. we’ve also improved the Pandora firmware since that build so porting is cleaner and easier.)
– did not add vsync yet; the Hatari codebase assumes SDL will do that for it; likewise, it uses software pixel doubling for low res fullscreening .. I should add vsync and hardware scaling to improve things a bit; let me know if you care 🙂
This version should run a little more accurately (some demos will work nicer), and faster (better audio, better for demos, and better handling of overscan if you turn on the ‘borders’ option in windowed mode.)
The pnd has been tweaked a little a well:
– does not imply any CPU speed, it’ll use whatever you’re set to; more friendly for overclocking and no buging you when run
– creates a virtual hard disk in your appdata (hdd_drive_c I think I called it) and mounts it as C: in the ST; if you have a problem booting games, make sure your ‘boot from hard drive’ is unchecked in the hard drive config panel)
– I’d suggest verifying your joystick is set up right; go to config, and map joystick to ‘keyboard’ and hit the d-pad buttons as directed
I’d recommend going to the config and specifying a default disk mount path to your rom path, so that every time you hit floppy -> Browse to pick a disk, it’ll open in the right place to save you navigating around your SD 🙂
I hope you enjoy it .. the ST rules!

App store — someone else (craigix?) owns it, so I’ll have to bug him to refresh.
