Dingoonity - Boards

This is a port of a great music app for the gp2x, which
i never had the chance to try because i never got a gp2x,
so i decided to test it on the dingoo. 

For those who doesn't know the app, it is an open source
multi format music player which currently supports a lot
of game and other music formats. 



   Download: Oldplay for Dingux v1.0
   Download: Source Code

For more info go here.

Currently i have ported the following plugins:

 - FLAC
 - Modplug
 - AdPlug
 - Sidplay (based on sidplay1)
 - Mad
 - game_music_emu
 - vorbis
 - Timidity

And i have replaced the old pokecubed plugin with a
new one based on vgmstream, currently only suports
adx but i will test other stream types later (I can get
some help with these).

Almost every internal feature is supported:

- Playlist
- Zip support
- Themes
- CPU scaling
- Keymapping
- etc

TODO
-----

- Port remaining plugins, and finish the stsound (ym) plugin.
- Reduce executable size ...
- Fix battery level indicator (?).
- Help me think of something .

This is the default key configuration:

INSTALL
--------

To install if you are using dmenu, you can create an entry
in the menu_media.cfg like this one:

MenuItem Oldplay
{
Icon = "res/media/oldplay.png"
Name = " Oldplay"
Executable = "./oldplay"
WorkDir = "/usr/local/apps/oldplay"
}

And copy the oldplay folder with all it's contents to
/usr/local/apps.  You must supply an icon or use the
included oldplay.png icon.

Well i hope you enjoy this one as much as i do .
Any comment or suggestion please post here in the forum!.

  Thanks a lot to sasq and micket, the creators
  of this wonderfull homebrew.

Wow, that's  an imperial assload of keybindings, the only request i have is make hold use the dingoos hold switch (sdlk_pause in the rtc kernel, or read it from the gpio file in /proc)

other than that if it's useeable and plays mp3s it's good enough for most people, i'll see what it's like compared to gmu later 

Thanks for your work, looks pretty neat

One thing though, how do you add dirs to the playlist? Also, it'd be nice if you could combine BLANK & HOLD on a keybind.

Hi,

Just put them in a folder called SID for C64 music and select the folder. The music files should appear.

For c64 music lover try here :

Hellsing

"SID" or "SID for C64" or "MUSIC" or "SID for C64 Music"
please specify.  quote marks are helpful in such situations, thanks.

Does this thing just play game music...or, could I like...upload a bunch of regular music, like Bruce Springsteen, etc...and play that?

It's beginning to look like this is only for games music...and not like, real albums and songs, etc.

Finally a SID player!!!! )))) Time for some testing

Hi,

the_gama -  would it be better in the next version to set the default length to 1000 = 16 min 40 sec.

This should cover all songs.
