Java on Dingux (Dingoo Linux misc)

rookie1 from http://www.a320home.cn has ported the SUN PHONEME CDC + MIDPATH to Dingux. This should enable Dingux users to play Java games, but a few requirements should be matching.

Quote from difuno:

Original post here:

Grab it from the link in the original post (provided you have no problem with the Chinese language) or here:

http://www.filefront.com/14978321/midpath091121.zip

Translation of the original post here.

This is the SUN PHONEME CDC + MIDPATH that I ported to Dingux. Extract it to LOCAL folder. The compatibility of English games seems to be better than Chinese. It is suggested to download and play JAVA games of NokiaE 6X or E7 or above, due to the 320 X 240 screen resolution of A320.

It you want to get it on DMENU, edit menu_game.cfg and add in:
MenuItem MIDPATH
{
Icon = “res/games/arkanoid.png”
Name = ” MIDPATH”
Executable = “./suite-manager.sh”
WorkDir = “/usr/local/midpath/bin”
}

Note: I used the icon of arkanoid here, you may change it to whatever favorite icon of yours.

Copy your JAVA games to LOCAL/MIDPATH/MIDLETS/, all JAR and JAD files will be listed in MIDPATH, you will need to use “Install MIDlet…” option to generate JAD files for games do not come with a JAR file.

Key mapping (A320 VS Cellphone):

A = SELECT
Y = LEFT
X = RIGHT
B = 5
SELECT = #

You can modify the key mapping in local/midpath/configuration/com/sun/midp/configuration/configuration.cfg (scroll down to the bottom of the configuration file and you will find it).

Some remarks:

1. In this version, you will need to exit the games by using the exit menu of their own (exiting games from program menu is not yet there). In case the system freezes, use START + SELECT + POWER (reset shortcut of Dingux) to reset your device.

2. No sound support yet. (if you are asked to enable sound at game start, please choose no)

3. It is suggested to play games of 320 x 240 resolutions (vertical screens).
You can find configuration.cfg file under local/midpath/configuration/com/sun/midp/configuration, this is the configuration file for MIDPATH. You may choose to rename configuration.cfg.240×320 (vertical) or configuration.cfg.320×240 (horizontal) in the same folder to configuration.cfg to replace the original configuration file.

Key mapping for vertical screen (A320 VS Cellphone)
A = SELECT?X = LEFT?B = RIGHT?Y = 5?SELECT = ?

HHexen v1 (Wiz Game Port)

Hacked Hexen is an Open Source Hexen engine based on K.Robillard’s Linux Hexen engine. Hexen is a first person shooter, commercially published by id Software 1996 and developed by Raven Software.

Hexen data files are not included with the download and need to be obtained from somewhere else! As they are still subject to copyright, we can not help with this matter.

HHexen has been ported to Wiz by no one else than Pickle. One of the most active porters in the Wiz scene.

Exploit for Macleans Mercury released (PSP misc)

Another exploit is public, but not really usable.

Read on:

Freeplay released his exploit for the game Mercury a few hours ago. The reason is that the vulnerability has been patched in firmware 6.20, making any further work on this exploit useless. Sony also immediately updated the game on the PSN store so that it now requires firmware 6.20.

Matieuhlh, member of the team prometheus (the team who created the Pandora Batteries), and a respected hacker on the PSP scene, revealed that Freeplay actually stole the code from a private SVN. To prove this, Mathieulh released the original sources of the exploit, as well as the sources for a kernel exploit that has been patched in firmware 6.00.

Further development of these exploits will most likely lead to custom firmwares and/or HEN for PSPs up to the firmware 6.00. This is of course interesting only for owners of Ta88v3 and of PSP3000. Owners of PSPGo can still pray for a future XMB exploit, and owners of older models of PSPs can use pandora batteries, independently of their firmware. As usual, if you like homebrews, don’t upgrade. And avoid buying a PSPGo 🙂

More information in form of a video and download is available via the link below.
