Spiller has been improving his Atari Lynx emulator LynGOO. This emulator is written for native Dingoo and does not require any Dingoo Linux (Dingux) install.

Changes:

– Handle system events (exit on USB plugin etc).
– Performance optimizations.
– Added overclocking controls.
– Added lynx speed control.

Dingux Integrale is a massive “one pack” solution to obtain almost all Dingux releases at once, partially with pre-config. There are games, apps and of course emulators.

Spiller has been improving his Atari Lynx emulator LynGOO. This emulator is written for native Dingoo and does not require any Dingoo Linux (Dingux) install.

Here are Spiller’s recent thoughts about v1.2:

Decision taken: LynGOO 1.2 is not going to be overclocking by default anymore. My initial thought was that the Dingoo was underclocked just to preserve battery, but it seems I was wrong. Some people have Dingoos which do not run stable at 400MHz because of heat problems. The TV out problem is interesting as well. It may mean that the TV out has to be reinitialized / synced after changing the CPU speed or it may mean that the TV out doesn’t work at all when overclocked.

I will do my ultimate best to squeeze a bit more performance out of LynGOO and see if I can run even more games at 100% without overclocking. Handy was not designed for performance however. Also the framerate for the problem games (Shadow of the Beast, Chip’s Challenge) most often is 75 FPS which is quite high. The frameskip option in Handy is worthless too; the only thing it does is stop the emulator from outputting a frame to the screen, all effort put into painting that frame has already been done by that time.

FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches.

the_gama gave the source a go and now we have it compiled and ready to use for Dingux.

Quote:

Hi, this is a port of FCEUX for Dingux.
I was working on the NESEMU port but i found about fceux and decided to give
it a try since it was a more mature emulator.

You can download it here.

If you don’t know how to install an app for dmenu, you can read the INSTALL file or search
in the forums for a more complete tutorial.

This is what i have done so far:

Features

– Based on fceux version 2.1.2
– Great compatibility
– Builtin nsf player
– FDS support
NOTE: You must put a copy of your fds bios (disksys.rom)
in the /local/home/.fceux folder.
– Fullscreen support
– Zipped roms

Controls

ISSUES

– FDS save states are not working.
– Small gameplay lag.

Not supported

– Movie record/playback
– Frameskip
– Screen filters
– Hight quality sound
– New ppu core (It is just too heavy )
– Custom palettes (Not really tested)
– Nes apu volume settings.

TODO

– Create gui for rom browsing and configuration
– Add support for custom palette
– Fix fds save states.

Well see ya!

Alekmaul is about to port XFlib to native Dingoo. More about XFlib can be found here: http://www.xflib.net/

Quote:

To help devs on OS native, i’m going to implement a multimedia lib for Dingoo OS Native.
This lib is a port of xflib and will help you to make game for OS native.

What will you have in it :
– Multiple Backgrounds handling (tiles / bitmap in 16 bits mode), with gif /jpeg and perhaps png support if i solve pb with std functions
– Text handling
– Sprites (with rotation)
– wav sound support (4 channels with 16 bits unsigned, 22050 khz)

I think the lib will be available at the end of this week (so you will have enough time to use it for dingoo digital contest ^^)

If you need some nice feature in it, just tell me, i will try to implement it.

Thanks to alekmaul himself for the news.

The Giana’s Return Team posted progress about the recent Dingux port attempt.

Quote:

Slaanesh and Thor tried to hunt down the “segment fault” on Dingux. Unfortunatly it seems to be a SDL only problem and not a problem of the Giana’s Return source code. Our hands are tied for now 🙁

vimrc has updated MPlayer for Dingoo Linux.

Changes:

Serious Bugs fixed:
1. Fix the freezed problem when playing *.rmvb files. (Should be better than the official one)
2. Fix the chopping sound when playing *.wma and *.wmv files. (Still better than the offical one, much more smooth at least)

Note:
Inappropriate config file (/home/.mplayer/config) will deteriorate the performance. In fact Mplayer works well without the config file. So if you met several problems, just remove the config file and try it again. The side effect is: Maybe it will cause the sync problem, but feel free to modify the config file or overclock the cpu to mitigate it yourself.

Now the Mplayer for Dingux should be usable enough . It can handle *.mkv, *.ogg, *. rmvb file well. However, the patched version doesn’t support the H264 format, so if you want to play them, use this one (based on 20090903 version, rmvb supported. Unfortunately it still has the freezed probelm when playing rmvb files. But it provides better performance such as smooth forward/backward when playing other formats. I will try to patch this version if I have time, it will take for a while because this version’s codes changed a lot compared with the previous one. 🙂
