ZLaunchy was written mainly for those who like the way Windows Mobile dialer allows searching for contacts in a T9-like way – so that finding Adam means choosing 2326 in the phone application. ZLaunchy uses the same idea to run programs on your device. What it does is gives you a dialer keypad and when you type in a series of digits, it searches for all programs that match – for example to start Internet Explorer, start typing 4683 – Internet Explorer and Internet Sharing should show up in the result list.

Application performs a search using all items in the Start Menu. It also skips showing application icons, which causes it to work faster than usual application launchers. This makes ZLaunchy a perfect candidate for an application that’s bound to a hardware key (using system settings) and have it always handy when you want to find an application quickly.

Changes:

* Added support for square QVGA (240×240 and 320×320) devices
* Support for entering digits or text using hardware keyboard
* Configuration panel – vibration feedback, additional search location
* Added possibility of searching My Documents and one additional directory (multiple directories coming soon)
* Searching for strings not only at beginning of words (by appending 1 at the end)
* Optionally run on startup – starts and hides ZLaunchy in the background
* Minor bugfixes

lordbla successfully compiled the MPlayer-sources optimized by Ingenic. It’s already possible to listen to music, but it does not play videos yet.

Everything is in a very early alpha stage, so don’t expect too much at this point.

DBalls is a “Same Game” type game, where you need to group two more equal colors together to let them disappear.

Release notes by mrLogan:

While continuing my education in the very excellent SDL library I came across a tutorial on a website called cone3d which I thought wouldn’t take much to turn it into a game on the Dingoo. So a few little images, a drop of sound and a few tweaks here and there until i got bored and this was the result. I have included the source code for anyone else out there who is looking for some examples.

To install just drop the dballs folder onto your dingux folders someplace and add the usual menu item for dballs.

This is an enhanced interpreter for the Commander Keen 1-3 Series. It is based on the original CloneKeen engine.

Release notes by mrLogan:

CloneKeen port for Dingux v0.1

I don’t know much about this game as I never really played it myself but it seems it was popular at the time. This version includes the shareware episode 1, it should work with the full version episodes but I don’t have them so I didn’t try it. Everything seems to be working ok gfx, sound, controls , save games etc.

Controls:
CTRL (Jump): B
ALT (Pogo): Y
Fire: B & Y at the same time (once you have the raygun)
Space (Pause): Start
Enter: Select or A
Escape (Quit): L
F3 (save): R

Installation in DMenu:
You need to create a menu item like the one below. Note the executable “./clonekeen2x -ep1” indicates episode 1. You need to change it to -ep2 and -ep3 for the other episodes.

MenuItem CloneKeen
{
Icon = “res/games.png”
Name = ” CloneKeen”
Executable = “./clonekeen2x -ep1”
WorkDir = “/usr/local/games/CloneKeen2X”
}

Notes:
When the games starts the screen at one point goes black, just press a button and the screen will come back into life again. I put a nasty hack in to get it to quit to the desktop without freezing the dingoo but it means that it might no have released all the memory it should of.

This is a 3-Match game like Animatch on GP2x Wiz. The goal is to destroy among number of buttons displayed on right side in 30 seconds. Every match increase time, but only to maximum of 30 seconds.

It is not 100% complete yet, missing high score list, more action in level, but very playable.

andY had some time on his hands during weekend so he made the presumably first cradle for the Wiz.

Everything is still very “beta” but the basic functions such as USB HOST / HUB and connect the serial (with integrated
MAX3232 converter) is in a “beta release” already successfully possible.

An old, broken F100/F200 Cradle served as base.
