All of you, who follow the OpenPandora project, know the first few Pandora’s were shipped. Another bunch of Pandora’s are assembled while you read this small article.

While the Pandora’s are on the way to their new homes, here is a small list of games, which can be considered “Launch Titles”.

The list is an almost perfect time line, whereas the first titles mentioned are very fresh releases. The further it goes to the bottom, the older the ports are.

There were numerous people involved in these plenty ports, so please hail them accordingly. Give them feedback, tell them how much you love them! This will be giving good karma and hopefully motivates these chaps for more excellent work!

Most games should be available via http://dl.openhandhelds.org/

And now here comes the list! – Yippa!

News from the official blog:

… I’m slightly maaad!

Well, yes, that’s basically also true… but this time, another thing came true: The Pandora! Yep, we started assembling and already shipped out some of our babies yesterday! What a relief!

Craig, Michael and Fatih are already working together with other folks to build Pandoras, I’ll join them on Monday. I’ll also setup the webcam when I’m there. Hopefully, it will work, as Craig told me internet connection in that hall is not too reliable, but we’ll see.

While this certainly is a big step for us, there’s still a lot of work to be done. We have to try to finish the first batch as soon as possible and also have to manage parts and production for the second batch. Please bear with us if this could take a while, we’re still humans (no cyborgs) and are working as fast as we can.

Thanks to EVERYONE helping us – our devs, our wifes / girlfriends, and – of course – you. The community. Let the fun begin!

The problems are fixed and you are highly advised to install the HotFix package when you receive your Pandora.

D-Pad Hero is a series of rhythm/music games for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

D-Pad Hero pays homage to the teams own favorite NES games and popular music artists. It’s their vision of what music games might have been like in the NES heyday.

Make sure to also pay attention to D-Pad Hero I! If you do not have a real NES anymore, or you simply don’t have the hardware to use the game on the real thing, make use of an emulator! This way you can also enjoy the game on other consoles such as Pandora, Wiz, GP2x, GP32, NDS, etc…

DSx86 is a PC emulator for Nintendo DS. It’s purpose is to allow you to run old DOS games on your Nintendo DS game console.

Release notes:

This version actually has the longest list of changes in any version yet, but the great majority of the changes are new graphics opcodes and support for new INT calls and port I/O (most of which are actually just silently ignored, as in DOSBox). However, there are also some bigger changes.

Improved touchpad mouse (TPM) emulation, with new configuration options that can be set in the DSx86.ini file, either in the default section or adjusted by each game if needed:

TPMScroll is a boolean that determines whether the screen should be scrolled when the stylus moves near the screen border in Zoom mode.
TPMTap is a boolean that determines whether tapping the screen with the stylus is registered as a left mouse click.
TPMLeft determines the DS button to use for the left mouse button.
TPMRight determines the DS button to use for the right mouse button.
The defaults if DSx86.ini does not have any of those set are as follows:
TPMScroll=FALSE
TPMTap=TRUE
TPMLeft=KEY_LEFT
TPMRight=KEY_RIGHT
New built-in commands on the 4DOS prompt:
VER command can have a parameter to change the reported DOS version number, like “VER 4.00” or “VER SET 4”.
SETVER command works like VER command with a parameter.
LOADFIX command can be used to launch games that otherwise would give “Packed file corrupt” problems. This still does not seem to work for games that consist of several executables, though.
DEBUG command can be used to start the game and immediately go to the debugger. That is mainly for my own use.
The Zoom modes now scroll smoother than before (using the trigger KEY_L and KEY_R buttons). When already at the left/right edge, they start scrolling up/down, with the KEY_L preferring to scroll up and KEY_R preferring to scroll down. The longer you keep the button down the faster it will scroll, so quick taps will move the screen in short increments.
Fixed a bug in REP CMPS Carry flag setting after the string comparison. This could have caused string comparisons to return the opposite order.
Fixed problems in string opcodes when indices wrap around the segment. This caused Jumpman 2 to crash, for example. This also seemed to get rid of the problems in Wing Commander 2 intro when using full EMS memory.
Fixed a bug in EGA 16-bit Read Mode 1 code (FS3).
Fixed VGA Line Compare Register handling (GOT).
Fixed VGA palette handling (Star Control 2).
Added support for VGA offset handling in 320×400 ModeX mode (GOT).
Added support for BIOS functions to clear and scroll up an area on the screen for all supported graphics modes (Ultima, etc).
Added BIOS INT1 default handler at F000:E987 (STARGATE).
Adjust disk free space calculation when SectorsPerCluster*BytesPerSector = 64K.
A large number of EGA and Mode-X opcodes added.
A large number of new INT calls supported (mostly just ignored).
A large number of new port I/O addresses supported (mostly just ignored).

I still did not manage to fix the problems causing some games to execute data instead of code. Debugging and finding these problems seems to be more difficult by every release, as I get the easy problems fixed. I will continue looking into these in the future version.

I also did not have time to improve the screen scaling features, I’ll see if I can add those to the next version. Please send me again the debug logs, those have been very helpful in my improving the compatibility of DSx86!

POWDER is a roguelike game, which is not a port of an existing roguelike. It is built around replayability and long term ergonomics, not short term learning. Author of this piece of software is Jeff Lait.

Changes:

Help menus are no longer off by one. (Patrick Don’t have one, Matt_S, Sam Spencer, Alex Marsh, Robert Barber, mattock)
Remove potential crash when zapping wand of invisibility off map.
Items are no longer revealed by hostiles searching.
Status message “Searched” when you search to make it more clear you did something by searching.
Correct lighting tests for giant mobs along with looser LOS requirements to see them.
No longer crash if a rolling boulder kills the caster and then fills a hole.
You can click-drag on display text to scroll it.
Chris Lomaka’s tiles have been updated with some nice new additional icons.
Help menus are platform specific, so GBA users should no longer be taunted with stylus help, etc.
The Akoi Meexx 10×10 and 12×12 tilesets are enabled in SDL builds. The 10×10 has had a round of manual smoothing applied to it.
Status bar on iPhone now rotates and is hidden in landscape mode.
iPhone now uses native keyboard controls.
If you start the game in a room with only secret exits, you are explicitly told that there are secret exits to search for. (Eisel Mazard)

While the highscore is kept, save games are never preserved between versions. Please wait until your current character dies before upgrading.

Status bar on iPhone now rotates and is hidden in landscape mode.
iPhone now uses native keyboard controls.

While the highscore is kept, save games are never preserved between versions. Please wait until your current character dies before upgrading.
