Freecell2x is is an improved version of Freecell which is similar to the Windows version.

This is an application to toggle SRAM settings such as the mono/stereo setting and the language used by GameCube games and the system IPL. The goal of this app is to make PAL GameCube games run on a NTSC GameCube/Wii with the desired language, because all PAL games will play in english on a NSTC environment.

This is a clone of emu_kidid’s SRAM Language Modifier v1.1. It has the same features except the SRAM HEX viewer (planned for the next version).

xRick is a clone of Rick Dangerous.

Way before Lara Croft, back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, Rick Dangerous was the Indiana Jones of computer games, running away from rolling rocks, avoiding traps, from South America to a futuristic missile base via Egypt and the Schwarzendumpf castle.

xRick is a NATIVE port to Dingoo, which does not require Dingoo Linux (Dingux), by alekmaul.

Thanks to cid2mizard for the news (and sorry for the 3 day delay :).

zear gave it a go for Dingux, but there are issues with the resolution (too small) and input (no button mapping). Besides that the game was playable.

Super Mario War is a Super Mario multiplayer game, which is currently beeing ported to the Pandora by Pickle.

The goal is to stomp as many other Marios as possible to win the game. It’s a tribute to Nintendo and the game Mario War by Samuele Poletto.

Check the video for this game running on hardware. There is no (public) binary yet.

Rookie1 updated his menu system for Dingoo Linux which resembles the default Dingoo menu.

Release notes:

I’ve decided to make the setup easier for windows users. Please download dmenu-0.2a.zip instead. It has all the directory structure in place (/local/dmenu and /local/sbin/main). Just directly unzip this file to your SD card and it should work automatically. Enjoy
