Nope. There's no source code for uNGP.  :(

Tested PC Engine at 432MHz and there's no improvement. Fullscreen uses soft stretch and that makes it slow.

But 3D games should improve at 432MHz so a new menu item "3D Games" and a new folder "3DGames" is going to be added in the custom firmware.

Does anyone has the same problem?
Only some of my Neo Geo Zip files are working. Metal Slug 1 + 2 is okay, but Metal Slug 3 + x +4 don't work.
If i use the FBA converted files, they work. Same problem with Prehistoric Isle 2, *.fba works, *.zip doesn't work.
neogeo.zip bios is already in the game folder.
Any Ideas?

I'm going to bump the version to 2.04.02 soon to add support for SEGA CD cso files (compressed iso) with mp3 sound. It runs very good with cso with frameskip 1 and mp3 sound.  :)

The tool to convert your cue/bin files to cso/mp3 is going to be available for both Linux and Windows. I took the tool from the PSP version to convert the cue/bin files to cso/mp3.


I also add the new menu item "3D Games" with a new folder "3dgame" to store your 3D games or whatever you want to run with the CPU clocked at 432MHz.

Dingoo A-380 custom firmware version 2.04.02 is available for download.


I added a new "SDL Emulators" menu item "SEGA CD" as requested by Santo. Enabled support for .bin and .cso/mp3 files. To convert your SEGA CD cue/bin files you can use the "bin to cso mp3" converter. You can find it under the "Tools" section on the OP. Put your SEGA CD games in the "game" sub folder "scd' on your Dingoo A-380.

I also added a new menu item "3D Games" linked to folder "3dgame" on the external MicroSD card. This makes it possible to run your 3D games with the CPU clocked at 432MHz, or whatever you like to run at a higher clock frequency when the default 336MHz isn't enough.


Enjoy your custom firmware.  ;)

You can't change it and that's how it's supposed to be. I see no reason why every emulator should have control over brightness and volume. This can be done before you start the emulator.
