Race (09-06-2010) (Beta) (NGPC emu for Pandora)

TJ Hooka ported the NeoGeoPocket / NeoGeoPocket Color emulator “Race” to the Pandora. It’s a beta so there might be a few bugs here and there.

Hey guys, decided I’d drop you a beta of a port of RACE! the Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator.

You can find it here -> http://hooka.gp2x.de/race.pnd

There are a few quirks with it atm, but in general I’m quite happy to say it seems fairly stable.

Roms go in sd://pandora/appdata/race

In the menu, use A to select a rom, B takes you to the options menu, but it isn’t setup to actually do anything yet and even mentions the PSP still…

load/save states aren’t implemented atm (sorry, I had it working on GP2X, but then realized it only worked with the C z80 core, not Dr.Z80, so I gotta fix that up first) BUT normal saves seem to work as of hotfix 2.

In game, X is the NGPC’s A button and B is B (due to placement being closer to NGPC’s)

I used a simple 3X scaling for the resolution, hope you’re ok with that, before the screen was about the size of a stamp on the pandora’s screen ๐Ÿ˜›

Umm, dunno what else I was gonna say… Really all the credit should go to Flavor, Thor and Judge, it’s their piece of awesome…

I’ll probably wait to see if I can get a slightly fixed up version with a readme and such setup before trying to upload it to the archive or pandora apps website (damn it, just call it the app box or some other clever little thing relating to the mythology already ๐Ÿ˜› )

OpenBOR v3.0.2818 (Wii misc)

OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage) is an open source engine to play Beats of Rage.

Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and moddable game engine made by Senile Team ( http://www.senileteam.com/beatsofrage.html ) and inspired by Sega’s classic Streets of Rage series. The term “moddable” means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-’em-up game, which is then called a “mod”.

Beats of Rage was first made available for download November 2003. It was not advertised in any way other than by word of mouth, yet it soon gained enormous popularity.

Changes:

Widescreen (480×272) mods supported.
Widescreen (16:9) displays supported without stretching.
No aspect ratio distortion with any mod regardless of display. Horizontal/vertical black bars are used when needed.
Can now be run from a USB flash drive or FAT32-formatted USB hard drive.
OpenBOR no longer depends on SDL Wii. All I/O handling is done natively through libogc.
Performance boost due to using GX directly for video instead of going through SDL.

Pandora Hotfix Pack II (Final) (Pandora misc)

EvilDragon of the Pandora development team released the final version of their second Hotfix pack for the Pandora.

Release notes:

If you already installed the Beta Version of HotFix 2: The only change is some permissions of /etc/pointercal (from 777 to 666), a fix as Evince and Gigolo PND-Scripts got mixed up and I forgot to include the new script for the LCD-State-Saving. If you want to have that fixed, simply install the final version of HotFix Pack 2.

Schism Tracker (08-06-2010) (Pandora Application)

Schism Tracker is a free reimplementation of Impulse Tracker, a program used to create high quality music without the requirements of specialized, expensive equipment, and with a unique “finger feel” that is difficult to replicate in-part. The player is based on a highly modified version of the Modplug engine, with a number of bugfixes and changes to improve IT playback.

Where Impulse Tracker was limited to i386-based systems running MS-DOS, Schism Tracker runs on almost any platform that SDL supports, and has been successfully built for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, FreeBSD, AmigaOS, BeOS, and even the Wii. Most development is done on x86 (ia32, amd64/ia32e) and ppc (both the ppc32 and ppc64 flavors). Schism will most likely build on any architecture supported by GCC4 (e.g. alpha, m68k, arm, etc.) but it will probably not be as well-optimized on many systems.
