Title: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: Rebelphoenix on October 16, 2009, 01:45:53 pm
Do you have an idea for a game or application you would like to see on the Dingoo?

Maybe you want an emulator or game ported and have the source code but not the expertise necessary to port it?

In this thread you can post your ideas, and with any luck, some skilled Dingoo developers might see your idea and make it happen!

You should post your requests in the following way:


Developers are often busy with their own projects, and they develop for the Dingoo as a hobby. If nobody persues your request, don't be impatient, and don't bump or repeatedly post the same request.

Abuse-SDL

2D side-scrolling platform game

This is a 2D platform game with a dark, gritty feel. The lighting is beautiful and the character animation is very realistic. This is the shareware version, and only comes with a few levels.

Abuse-SDL is a port of Abuse by Crack Dot Com to Linux using the Simple DirectMedia Layer library. This allows Abuse to run at screen depths greater than 8bpp as well as fullscreen.

This was originally going to be ported by Dan...

Quote
i Everybody!

I've been playing around with the source for Abuse for a few hours and after sorting out a few of the bugs I've managed to compile it so its semi-playable on the Dingoo.

At the moment, it doesn't have sound and the I have been able to correctly figure out how to map the mouse controls to buttons yet but it seems to run really well with good speed. The controls have been mapped to use the A B X Y buttons as the mouse (but not really well so far), R to shoot, L for power-ups and Start to change weapon. You'll have to run the program twice initially to get it to work, as the first time it'll set up a configuration file then next time it'll run.

The main problem with the controls is that the mouse cursor doesn't keep moving, you have to keep hitting tapping the buttons to make it continue to move. I've been trying to fix it for a couple hours now but with my limited knowledge I just haven't been able to figure it out. It's probably something simple to fix, if you want to have a crack at it, the file I've been working on is /src/sdlport/events.cpp

Also, I don't know whether its just my SD card getting messed up or something else but it doesn't seem to exit cleanly and doesn't give access back to dmenu, but theres been no problems while the game is running.

Cheers!
Dan

Compiled WIP

You'll also need these data files
, unpack them into a directory called data in your abuse folder.

Data Files:
http://abuse.zoy.org/raw/Downloads/a...ta-2.00.tar.gz


Source:
http://web.aanet.com.au/dth/abuse-dingoo-src.zip

I configured this with:
NM=mipsel-linux-nm LD=mipsel-linux-ld CC=mipsel-linux-gcc CXX=mipsel-linux-g++ RANLIB=mipsel-linux-ranlib AR=mipsel-linux-ar CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/lib ./configure --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --with-sdl-prefix=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr --enable-static --prefix=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/abuse

The links are good so far. I will download them in case something happens to them. I have no programming experience, but I really wanted this to be ported.

EDIT: Apparently none of the formattign (color change, bold, etc) are working. Anyone know why?

Post by: Muckeljones on October 18, 2009, 07:57:37 pm
As mostly all of those shooters from that time, including shadow warrior, duke nukem etc have been ported already, i'd like to see a dingux version of that nice "Blood" shooter and that "Carmageddon" racing game.

EDIT
Oh and redneck rampage was kinda fun those days =D

How do you want to get that ported without the source code?
Please check if the source code is avaliable before making a request. We want to keep this thread clean.

I was wondering if ZDoom (http://zdoom.org/wiki/Compile_ZDoom_on_Linux) could be ported to Dingoo?

Sorry for requesting yet another DooM port, but IMO ZDoom sports more features than the current prBoom port (more games (http://zdoom.org/wiki/IWAD) for one, like Chex Quest, and especially Strife, as well as enhanced modding features (http://zdoom.org/wiki/Category:WADs_created_for_ZDoom) allowing for more diversity in mods).

Dingoopedia - Wikipedia for Dingoo.

A basic, text only mirror of Wikipedia on the dingoo.  Basically, this thing: http://thewikireader.com/ (http://thewikireader.com/), but simply as a software program.  According to that website, the text-only mirror of wikipedia is about 4GB.  This is of reasonable size to fit on a microSD card and use with the dingoo. 

I think this would be awesome, and with a little know-how probably not too difficult (although I could be very, very wrong on that).  It seems like the most difficult part would be navigation: a search system is an absolute must, meaning you would need to have both a good search algorithm and a good input method (onscreen keyboard). 

I don't really have the knowledge or time to do this myself, but I figure it's worth throwing the idea out there.  Hopefully somebody finds the idea of the word's largest encyclopedia in your pocket and ready at any time (not just at a wi-fi hotspot or 3G area) as exciting as I do  ;D

From my point of view three applications could be very interesting:

- Atari 800 emulator
- Commodore Amiga emulator
- mod player (to play .mod, .xm, files). It would be lovely playing mods from Amiga games on dingoo :)

I just found that Zdoom was ported to the gp2x (http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/43081-2xzdoom-v220-doom-engine/), and the ZDoom wiki (http://zdoom.org/wiki/Compile_ZDoom_on_Linux) mentions how to compile ZDoom on Linux.

Considering the 2xzdoom port is pretty much functional already (using sdl for sound as well), would it be hard to port this to the Dingoo? It'd be great if ZDoom's advanced features were supported on the Dingoo, as well as having Strife to play. :)

I'll offer the same suggestions I made in the other thread.

Given the success of the PSX emulator, I don't think it's really so much out of the question to see if someone could port a Jaguar emulator to the platform.  Couldn't hurt to try :-)

Hello All...

I'm just a User's dingoo.
I'm not a programmer. I am not a developer.
I'm not develop anything for the dingoo.

But I had an idea that I think many have had.
We know that dingoo play SWF files or Flash.

So, why not have a Flash player that in addition to running the Flash, it emulates the keyboard and mouse movement?
When we put the Dingoo a Flash game, it runs, but does not work because there is emulated and keyboard or mouse.
If a programmer that dingoo have experience and ability, can cause the Dingux run SWF files and emulate or allow the configuration of the buttons on dingoo, we just hundreds, thousands of games ready in Flash.

This game for example: http://www.jogossimples.com.br/index.php?action=playgame&gameid=2386 (http://www.jogossimples.com.br/index.php?action=playgame&gameid=2386)
It runs on dingoo, but just can not play because there are no buttons or set the mouse movement to start the game.
Download this game [SWF]: http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/files/daffystudioadventure.swf (http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/files/daffystudioadventure.swf)
Place in dingoo and it will work.
To play him in the dingoo would only need to emulate the [ up ], [ down ], [ left ], [ right ] and the [ SPACE ] and the movement of the [mouse] to select [PLAY]
(http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/images/teclas/seta_esq.gif),(http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/images/teclas/seta_dir.gif),(http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/images/teclas/seta_cima.gif),(http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/images/teclas/seta_baixo.gif),(http://www.jogossimples.com.br/games/images/teclas/espaco.gif), and (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jizoPL28qCY/R3EWClYUSTI/AAAAAAAABDQ/ZZe7l57PoF0/s400/mouse+cursor+white+arrow.jpg)

So I had this idea to put this topic here, hoping some programmer to do something about it.

Thank you! Excuse my English!

O Dingoo toca arquivos SWF ou Flash.

Ent?o porque n?o fazer um player de Flash que alem de rodar o Flash, ele emulasse o teclado e o movimento do mouse?
Quando colocamos no Dingoo um game em Flash ele ate inicia, mas n?o funciona porque n?o h? teclado emulado e nem o mouse.
Se um programador de Dingoo que tem experiencia e capacidade fizer com que o Dingux toque arquivos SWF e emule ou permita a configura??o dos bot?es do Dingoo, teremos imediatamente centenas, milhares de games j? prontos em Flash.

Hello one more time, Community!
I want to request one (maybe simple) thing - the NES for Dingux emulator, maybe port of JNes or other famous and capable one.
the Official Dingoo NES emu is great but for some roms like, for example,  Kick master we have no alternative but play with headless main character (lol) - you can check - his no head hahahaha! and in tv-mode either.
All emulators isn't perfect so better have two in reserve - i think everybody agreed with me.
So, respectable coders, please make it.

p.s. sorry bad english

------------------Add:
And one more thing - is it possible to port for Dingux any midi - player? yes, usual player for play *.mid music.
if it possible, please make it.

I'd love an option to create customized playlists, be it on Dingux or the native firmware. I know the Dingux music player (the one in Toddler's pack) sort of does it, but it is really tricky IMO, and does not access the music on the Dingoo internal memory.

It would also solve the problem of the bunch of WAV files that start showing off on the automatic playlists after you put Dingux on the miniSD slot, since you could create a list that excludes them...

I believe it must be possible, since I had a really crappy "MP5 Player" before I got the Dingoo, and even that could do it... If I knew something about programming, that's what I'd try to do, but since I'm clueless about it... :( Is there anybody working on it?  ???

Dunno if it would be possible to get XM radio, or something like that...so that you could actually use the radio...out here in the sticks where I live, the FM just doesn't work very well.

Also would love to see a PDA program, similar to DS Organize....but just with the stuff you really need for a PDA, like an address/phone number book, appointment calendar, an alarm that would let you know when you had upcoming appointments, and maybe a calculator built into it, too.  DS Organize was pretty good until they started adding too much to it.

Yes, I know about free GBC/GBA synths/trackers (I do use them, also on Dingoo) - I just dream about more of them (and USB-Midi communication with Dingoo :D).

Well before I posted I thought I would read to see if someone requested this type of thing
I agree with you on the music creation apps - not the modtracker though lol,

I would like to see a nice syth or a drum machine or even a nice sequencer more like a ableton/reason style - dont like trackers lol,
I now - being to optimistic - There was or still is - a nice drum machine on the psp - would also be good if there was a sampler like prog too,
Were you could chop up .wav files or even crop mp3 files ie... truncate the ends - maybe even go round recording samples and then editing them on the fly - sorry getting carried away now lol :-)

Midi great idea...

Reposting from here (http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingux-help/is-this-possible-instruction-card-before-program-launch/).

Id like to be able to have the following events happen when I select an icon in Dmenu:


So to the user it looks like you select an application/game/emulator, a screen shows you what buttons do what, you hit ok and the applications/game/emulator starts.

This would be great for non-standard control schemes (RAW for one is particularly unintuitive) and for people new to the dingoo to jump right in and play (which button is shoot?).

Hi,

How about another Atari ST Emu? Hatari is great and the nearest thing we have to Amiga emulation, I can't get a few of the classics to run though, like Lotus Turbo Challenge 2.

Is this portable?

I believe the source code is available from here as well.

I don't believe it's actually been ported to the Wiz. Cave Story's source code is closed. Simon Parzer is the only one authorized to have the linux source code, so he'd have to be the one to port it.

I would love to see a port of cavestory on dingoo.There's one for wiz allready so why not dingoo too?

I don't believe it's actually been ported to the Wiz. Cave Story's source code is closed. Simon Parzer is the only one authorized to have the linux source code, so he'd have to be the one to port it.

Please check this links:

Developpers my suggestion:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwvwehSPVfk

Hooray!!
I second the suggestion...am currently running a Gameboy application for same...and with same results, basically.  I posted elsewhere about this.  I, too, would like to see an Organizer done for Dingoo, preferably Native OS versus Dingux, although I could go either way on it....I think more people would get use out of it if it were Native, though.

The important thing with this Organizer...at least what I have in mind...is that it be a simple as possible, with as few "bells and whistles" as possible.  DS Organize, for the NDS, for example...way too many bells and whistles, took a good thing and made it basically horrible.

My ideal for this particular project would be that the Organizer have the following...

1 - A Calendar (because there is no internal clock in the Dingoo, this would need to be set on startup of program...but it could save the last setting in a Save file...and then you would not HAVE to update it on startup...you could option to update it)

2 - An Appointment book (and it is essential you be able to schedule appointments for other than the month you currently happen to be in - this is a major problem I have with the GB Organizer I'm currently using - you can't schedule outside the month you are currently in...so, if you want to, you have to set a false date) The appointments MUST save to the Save file...so that they would remain there, no matter how many times you power on and off. (Obviously, there should be options to Edit/Delete these appointments as needed)

3. A Phone/Address/Email book - all entries save to the save file

4. A Calculator

5. A Notepad - with Save capability...and delete capability, once said note was no longer needed.

6. Perhaps a very simple, short "To Do" List...which would be something you could schedule outside of the Appointments area.

ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER FUNCTIONS, PLEASE!!

I would like a little native app that you can use to pick a theme and replace the system/res directory when using the A320 (maybe after force a reboot so it takes effect)

IE a theme swapper

You could keep multiple themes in System/Themes/Theme1 ...  and then the app would copy a chosen one into System/res replacing the current contents..

Maybe it could display a preview of the theme prior to copying..

Title: Guitar Tuner APP
Post by: janX on November 30, 2009, 01:48:59 am
Guitar Tuner APP

Guitar Tuner utilizing the built-in mic.

Source Code: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/FftGuitarTuner.aspx (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/FftGuitarTuner.aspx)
This source code is just an example. I'm sure there are plenty of other codes that could be used. It's irrelevant what the programmer would prefer to use. Just as long as you can tune a guitar with it.

Features:
-----------
Keep it simple, guitar tuners don't need to be complex.
Dial that displays how close you are to actual note.
Ability to choose tuning other than just C. IE:#d


Bonus Feature Ideas:(which would otherwise be nice to seen in a separate APP if not in this one)
------------------------
Would be nice to have a cord finder or cord list.
Perhaps some guitar tab or guitar tab text reader.(that isn't affected by word wrapping)


OS:
----
Doesn't matter. Native or Dingux. Although Native would probably be easier to build, from a programming point of view.



P.S. This following tuner is not all that great, and doesn't utilize the built-in mic.

Media Player / KARAOKE PLAYER APP

A Media player that can play .mp3+G, .mid and .kar files. While viewing the lyrics on screen.

Features:
Not worried about it. Just being able to view .mp3+G  (or .mid .kar) files would be good enough.
GUI would be a bonus, but not necessary. Simply to be able to browse folders is good enough for basic karaoke.

OS:
Doesn't matter Dingoo Native or Dingux.

Although, this has very tiny bugs and tiny graphical glitches in some games I would like to see this great emulator ported to the Dingux :)

Hi guys,

I stumbled onto a homebrew project that I feel is an absolute must to make it's way over to the Dingoo and Wiz.

it is called Wagic and is a complete Magic The Gathering clone built from the ground up.

The primary platform it was created for is hacked PSP, so the Dingoo/Wiz small screen should not be an issue. Wagic also supports windows and......LINUX ;D and source code is available.

Please click the below link and look at this amazingly professional looking project. I hope this post leads to an eventual port of Wagic to Dingoo/Wiz platform

Magic is a very strategic and deep game. Think of it as chess but with thousands of different playing pieces.

Yes, some cards are similar to one another. Many seem useless while a select few appear overpowered. This is part of the games design and dynamic. Half of the strategy and fun is to build a winning deck. It is luck of the draw as you carefully select the compilation of cards from a pool of randomly drawn cards from boosters. Specific cards are generated depending on it's rarity. It is then up to you to work them into your deck.

God, I hope a port of this game makes it to our beloved handhelds :P

Aside from a DOS emulator, I'm also curious to see how the Dingoo could serve as an extension to a PC.

By hooking it up with the USB cable & having it connectable through TCP/IP, it'd be nice if one could use the Dingoo's screen as a statistics frontend, displaying information from the PC (like cpu usage, temperatures, even a virtualisation of WinAmp or similar. Or even photo's/video's).

This, combined with having a control channel from the Dingoo to the PC ("Dingoo as an USB joystick") would make it an even more versatile device, usable in many htpc/domotica projects.

I got this idea the other day, but sadly I'm just an amateur programmer so I have no idea how to do it.

I'm pretty sure we all have experienced that problem with dingux when the mini SD fails and we're forced to format it and henceforth losing all of our save files in it.

Now what I propose is a program for the native firmware that searches the mini SD for all the save files (*.SAV , *.SRM , *.BRM , etc) and copies them to a backup folder in the dingoo internal memory, this way it would be a lot easier to have a backup of your saves and avoid losing them all completely.
And as an alternative, maybe instead for the native firmware, one for windows/linux/mac?

If anyone can do this I would love you forever.

i need milkytracker....ive seen a little buzz about it possibly being ported over from the gp2x version n the milkytracker forum...basically i wanna write music and would like other options than just lgpt....(considering dingux boots straight to lgpt leaving no options after the boot or maybe im wrong?) either way more music creation software would be nice since lsdj, nanoloop, etc i guess sound crappy through emulation...i should be be gettin my dingoo in the mail soon....cant wait

yes it can, just look at the gp2x which is slower than a dingoo and dosbox ran fine (at least for certain (older) games).

I compiled it already but dingoo lacks some memory so will not run without some modifications which i'm not going to do

Post by: santino on March 09, 2010, 12:52:54 pm
Yes youre right joyrider, the gp2x can do this. But searching through youtube for some proofs I found a video where the gp2x does quake2 and that very well. I dont think the dingoo can do this? So its maybe faster than the dingoo?
Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: eule on March 09, 2010, 01:28:53 pm
I guess the GP2X quake 2 port uses some ARM assembler?
-edit- Wait found some info, No assembler i think:
5.5fps average with full detail and sound, 6.4fps with an autoexec.cfg optimised for speed, look here (http://sector808.org/wiki/gp2x:quake2)... Quake 1 shall be fullspeed on the GP2X: here (http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/gp2x.cgi?0,0,0,0,20,855)
Dingoo should beat that.  ;D

I'd like to see a Watara Supervision emulator. It's a handheld device like the gameboy, but featuring a somewhat bigger screen.

There appears to be an emulator for Windows (and Dreamcast), called Potator. It (and the SDL-based open source code) are available from Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/potator/files/). A GP2x build is there too! :D

I tried the emulator on Windows with my favorite game (Juggler), but both the graphics seem messed up and the gameplay isn't like I remember. Perhaps this is due to my ROM, but if not I guess the emulator code isn't 100% yet.

I'm totally obsessed with Peggle, I currently have it:

* As a stand-alone program on my computer
* As a World of Warcraft AddOn (so I can play while waiting to be resurrected, lawl)
* As a program on my Nokia 5800 (Scaled and touch-enabled, of course!)
* As a program for MIDPath on the Dingoo
* As a ROM on my Nintendo DS M3 Real card

So, seeing a native Dingux implementation of this would warm my heart greatly. Hell, I'd even donate to see such a program ;)

Thankfully it is possible to run LGPT on Dingux, but i don't know of any other music creation apps that are able to run on the Dingoo.


As Ruffnutt said, it would be great to have a sequencer for Dingoo if LGPT isn't your thing and you don't like trackers.


Well i came across a sequencer a while ago called PxTone also know as Piston Collage.

It's a basic, efficient sequencer with some nice options, very versatile for it's simplicity.

The bloke who coded it is PIXLS (the one who made Cave Story). I remember reading some where that it does run on Linux, i've only got the windows version.

PxTone netlabel > http://pistonsource.iiichan.net/link/indexen.html

that has the most helpful links in it. Unfortunately i can't read Japanese so i'm pretty much relying on the eloquence of Google translate. But if some one here can read Japanese, could they look into it?

I don't know about source code, maybe if we ask PIXLS nicely? or maybe it's already out there somewhere? Again, the language barrier has really screwed me this time. 

PLEASE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS :)


Also a port of Cave Story would be pretty sweet (saw it mentioned earlier in this thread).

peace.

Post by: TheCaffeinator on May 10, 2010, 04:21:13 pm
The Jungletac game "Rolling Block" is pretty much a clone of Bloxorz; perhaps it might be a starting point, as it isn't Flash-based (as far as I can tell). The "Rolling Block" ROM came with my first Dingoo (actually, it came with 16 pre-loaded Jungletac games) and was playable via the native GBA emulator. Newer Dingoos don't include the Jungletac ROMs, but, while the GBA emulator will recognize the .jgc extension and attempt to play the games, they fail at the Load screen.

Anyway, I still have all the Jungletac ROMs with the hope that someday I'll find another Dingoo that will run them, or someone will "fix" the GBA emu or come up with a Dingux solution...basically just for "Rolling Block."   ;)

As for hexen2, it runs on dingux with ~5fps, totally unplayable. Still, if people really want it, i can upload the binary somewhere.
Fheroes2 needs a mouse to navigate, plus the 320x240 gui is far from being usable (no battle screen, for example).
OpenLieroX is a completely different game than OpenLiero. OpenLiero is a reverse-engineered clone of the original Liero, while OpenLieroX is a game that looks like liero, but aims at multiplayer gameplay and has support for more than 2 players at once.
I didn't know that OpenLieroX can run on resolutions smaller than 640x480, I'll give it a try, but I have a feeling it requires quite a powerful cpu to run.

But anyway, thanks for the link, there are some games here I never heard before :)

it's my version of the game (not a port but a clone) and sdl based, contains about 1000 levels and option to create your own levels on the go (meaning on the dingoo itselve) more then enough if you ask me :)

about lbreakout 2:

doesn't run in 320x240 as far as i remember, i ported it once to the gp2x but the sdl lib for the gp2x automaticly downscaled it

I think an awesome port would be I Wanna Be The Guy(http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/index.php). In his FAQ he says it can't be ported to a DS/PSP and he will ban anyone who asks :-\, but he says it's a hack of the ROM Battletoads. Is there some way to make this game back into a ROM and play it that way? I know very little about programming, but it seems plausible to me. Any ideas?
Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: Everett on July 05, 2010, 08:25:22 pm
I have two suggestions:

OpenLiero X: OpenLiero's fun and all, but the version used in dingux (from what I understand) is ancient even though there are more recent versions, and openliero x lets the user choose skins and mods to change the look and feel of the game, and that'd be great for the dingoo.

Doom 64 EX: Doom 64 EX is an unofficial port of the Nintendo 64 game of the same name. For those who don't know, Doom 64 was an entirely different beast than all the other ports that had been made to this point for various consoles, with new graphics, new music (the sound effects were borrowed from the psx version of Doom) and new maps, and a new storyline. But more importantly it had an updated engine that allowed the map to be dynamically modified during play (for exemple, having a terraformer crush the floor which lets you progress further in the map), things which the normal open source ports of doom on the pc (and consoles/handhelds) cannot do. There is a re-creation called Doom 64 - The Absolution, but it's far from perfect. There are no linux ports for the moment but the developers are reportedly working on one.

As for hexen2, it runs on dingux with ~5fps, totally unplayable. Still, if people really want it, i can upload the binary somewhere.
Fheroes2 needs a mouse to navigate, plus the 320x240 gui is far from being usable (no battle screen, for example).
OpenLieroX is a completely different game than OpenLiero. OpenLiero is a reverse-engineered clone of the original Liero, while OpenLieroX is a game that looks like liero, but aims at multiplayer gameplay and has support for more than 2 players at once.
I didn't know that OpenLieroX can run on resolutions smaller than 640x480, I'll give it a try, but I have a feeling it requires quite a powerful cpu to run.

But anyway, thanks for the link, there are some games here I never heard before :)

Hello,
i'm interested in the hexen2 binary   :)

I've found something like Warcraft II and Starcraft. It's called Wargus & Stargus - the engine "Stratagus" is open source.

BTW, it uses SDL, so porting will be easier, I think.

It was really easy, at least to build  ;)

As I never played this game before, I do not know if it is fully functional. As far as I can see it's running well, with some minor flaws with bg music.

If someone who knows the game is available for testing, here is the dingux binary: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B13E5O44

What about Frotz (Interactive Fiction - Interpreter - Lets you play interactive fiction - Such as Zork!). I believe this would be a very simple port and benefit to the community. Here is the link: http://frotz.sourceforge.net/ (http://frotz.sourceforge.net/) Would love to play some interactive fiction on the Dingoo!!!

Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: zear on July 25, 2010, 05:53:57 pm
Frotz requires a keyboard to type. So no, it wouldn't be a simple port, but rather a port where you have to design virtual keyboard and some sort of a gui instead of the curses interface (curses has a problem with dingux button layout) ;P
Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: Ikonz101 on July 25, 2010, 06:19:39 pm
Makes sense :) I was thinking that the curses interface would work but you explained that. Hopefully someone with some programming knowledge will take a interest in this. There is another IF interpreter I found called Zoom: http://www.logicalshift.co.uk/unix/zoom/ (http://www.logicalshift.co.uk/unix/zoom/) This one is a little more robust as it allows you to play Z-Code (Inform 7 compatibility), TADS and HUGO files.

Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests-Carmageddon
Post by: Nevinryal on August 06, 2010, 06:02:02 pm
First of all let me tell you this is a DAMNED FUN GAME. It was always fun and in the later levels could be very challenging to finish off the opponents while trying to find all the secret weapons hidden around the map.

Carmageddon was released for DOS in 1997 by Stainless Games after trying unsuccessfully to settle on a license to use so int he end they said to hell with it and continued the work without a license, this of course left the development team a massive amount of freedom with which to give birth to this carnivore. Now nothing against you gamers who like race car games, but personally I think they suck in general. That was until Carmageddon.....Mowing through roving packs of pedestrians just to garner more time, plowing thru your enemies and beeating them senselessly into a pulp with a SOLID GRANITE CAR or being a complete retard with JELLY SUSPENSION, or going Deadly Low Rider with GRAVITY FROM JUPITER. Having trouble getting pedestrians? No problem, let the Electro-Bastard-Ray do the work for you and zap them at a distance as you pass them by. Did you manage to beat one of your opponents into the road hard enough to earn the right to drive their hotrod? HELL YEA look who's got the new sports car with Scythe Blades jutting out the front and a top speed of 200+ mph!

I know that if it could be done it would become one of the number one, "whip it out and kick some ass" game on the dingoo.
People would be on the bus and just road rage on their dingoo while everyone on their Iphones, and Itouches, and Idildo's or whatever just stare in bewilderment. But enough about that now down to the specs.

This dos based game ran on a 90Mhz Pentium CPU required 16 MB of ram, 20MB of HDD space, you needed an SVGA capable system, and a color depth of 256 colors. I'll be honest at the time i has an AST Adventure 200 series desktop with a whopping 8mb of ram at the time and even I managed to run it just fine. There was a special mode that you could run it in to use it on a much lower system at the cost of a few frills (mostly graphic i think) that to be honest I couldn't even notice while playing the game.
Now I don't know if the Dingoo could handle this game but I am hopeful, if I had the skills to do the things you guys do, know that I would be the one announcing this was ported and not making the request. I don't know what I can do to help make this happen but if you do tell me and I'd be willing to help out in anyway possible. Best of luck to you all, if anyone can do it. It's you..

I never claimed to have understood full well what it takes to make such things possible in fact I admitted to not having the skills to do it myself. No I didn't read everything on the first page or the following 12 pages of posts aside from maybe "Project Ideas" and "Requests" and not much else however my only crime was that I felt an opportunity to express my honest desire to see a game that I enjoyed to no small degree be somehow made to run on the Dingoo. I don't have the knowledge/expertise/skill to do any of the things I see some of you people doing but I do what I can to hold on and enjoy this marvel of a device for what it is and hope for something greater. I'm not sure how, why, or even if, this post went from honest to god, "If only" requests that could be simply acknowledged and then disregarded in private afterwards as "silly" or "impossible". If my "Idea" or "Request" is unreasonable for some reason I can accept that but to be honest I had never considered while creating my OP that anyone would go the route of basically delivering the equivalent of ...."YOU WASTED YOUR BREATH DUMBASS"
or....
"HAHA WHAT HE SAID, SILLY RABBIT TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS AND THOSE WITH BIG ENOUGH TESTICLES"

So with out further ado, fuck me for breathing.  I'll come back when I can finally say something that can be received without such whiplash for what was just intended to be a god honest request. Like..nothing at all...

I know there's some way to scrobble music from Rockbox firmware for ipods and cowons and it works just great.

As I understand all that's needed it's some addition to the player that will log the music that's played and some desktop application that will send the log to the server when dingoo is connected to the PC.

I'd love to see a reminder application as I have the memory of a gold fish, and I'm tired of writing on my hands. I carry my dingoo around with me everywhere, and I think it would be nice to have the little guy squawk at me when I've forgotten something I need to do. Maybe having the possibility of taking notes down would be awesome too, as I usually forget what people tell me five minutes after they do so. Something that could just be left on as the dingoo has an amazing battery life and have the blacklight turn on and off at the click of a button for battery saving purposes. I suppose it would also be a good alarm clock as well. :D

Here's a visual of what I mean.
(http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9649/mockuptogether.png)

I understand there's already a clock and calendar application for dingux (dgclock), showing just how well RTC works, it's just a shame it's only a clock and calendar.  :'( http://clogging.web.fc2.com/dingoo/  Here (http://clogging.web.fc2.com/dingoo/dgclock091222.zip) is the source for dgclock if that helps.
Also there's the whole problem with native firmware resetting the clock, I myself don't really use the native firmware anymore, well other then playing GBA, but once back in dingux, I always set the clock using dgclock back to the correct time and date.

Well anyways, that's my pitch, ideas or thoughts anyone? If someone likes the graphics or wants to use them for something, I uploaded them here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T1G3UHON).

Edit:added link to source, added link to graphics used/made.

Blood uses build engine, yes. But the source for blood was never released. So no way to port it other than to recreate it as a duke mod, or write it from scratch basing on duke's flavour of build engine.
It's the same deal as with all that Quake III engine based games that came out for Windows only and there's no way to port them because of the lack of their source code, despite having the source of Quake engine.

I think the closest we will get to having blood on dingoo now is the Blood mod for eduke32. (see here (http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingux-development/blood-for-dingoo/)) M210, the person behind the project needs help creating the maps. I have no experience with that though :'(

The mod is almost identical to the original game if not fully resembling it, but has been suspended due to no time with map development.

I came with an idea how to make a smooth upscaller that would be faster than a regular bilinear one. While it wouldn't be as pretty as a bilinear or bicubic one it would still be better than nearest neighbour.

For example :
The Dingoo has 320x240 display
A GBA has 240x160 display

The idea is to interpolate the missing columns and rows, rather than interpolating all visible pixels. For the GBA that would be 80 columns and 80 rows, which means that for every 3 columns of the original image there would be one added and similarly for every 2 rows of original image there would be one added. If someone would implement such upscaler in his\hers emulator an option to change phase shift for the interpolated lines would be useful.

that kind of thing is certainly fast, but ugly...if the scaling factor is anything over +-1/3 it looks terrible, but if it's not, then just copy the first x pixels, then fill in the blanks with whatever the nearest pixel is, be it left to right, right to left, or center in/out

works better for scaling down though, as then things just loko a little squashed

My algorithm (I say my, but most likely someone else came up with that ages ago):

And bilinear for comparison:
(http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3586/bilinear.png)

While the image upscaled with my algorithm doesn't look as good as the image upscaled using bilinear algorithm, it still looks better than good old nearest neighbour.

P.S. I just realized that GBA has 3:2 proportions, but than again its easier to translate it to 4:3 rather than keeping the aspect ration when upscaling.
P.S.2 I wonder which upscaling algorithm do the native emulators use.

They do look pretty, what is the performance like? If you can get these to run quickly that would be awesome!

Ayla's scalars tend to be VERY fast, OhBoy has a nice Scale3x (with downscale) implementation which looks great for most games but the performance penalty can be high (overclock is recommended). I added Ayla's scalar and full screen is VERY fast now. I've some screen shots at http://code.google.com/p/ohboy/wiki/ScreenShots (but they show adjustris which is not a great demo of the scalars).

P.S.2 I wonder which upscaling algorithm do the native emulators use.

I think it is using the hardware YUV stufff, no one really knows though, no src :(

Its difficult to tell using Matlab. While I can easily test time required to preform the upscaling it has little meaning to what results a C implementation would give. Most matirx operations in Matlab are highly optimized and use various available CPU commands to speed things up (commands which are most likely unavailable on MIPS CPU). I tested my unoptimized code the results were :
Nearest neighbour : 1 (reference)
My upscaler : 7.15
Bilinear : 28.98

My unoptimized code needlesly copied some parts of the image twice, but was doing so with whole lines. I optimized the code so it wouldn't need to copy some stuff twice, but now it worked on pixel level. Because of that now my algorithm is 10 times slower than the bilinear one.

Those numbers don't mean anything right now. I guess my algorithm's preformance would be like nearest neighbour + bilinear on a smaller image (number of pixels of the output image - number of pixels of the input image). A small experiment in Matlab shows that it would take around twice as much time as it takes to do nearest neighbour. Which is a good result I think, but the numbers I get from Matlab might be far from how it would preform on A320. Also I only tested 240x160->320x240 upscaling. Different input resolutions would surly give different times (the smaller the input the slower the upscale time). Not to mention that this algorithm only makes sense for scale < 2.

I'd like to see a Watara Supervision emulator. It's a handheld device like the gameboy, but featuring a somewhat bigger screen.

There appears to be an emulator for Windows (and Dreamcast), called Potator. It (and the SDL-based open source code) are available from Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/potator/files/). A GP2x build is there too! :D

I tried the emulator on Windows with my favorite game (Juggler), but both the graphics seem messed up and the gameplay isn't like I remember. Perhaps this is due to my ROM, but if not I guess the emulator code isn't 100% yet.
Bumping this request a bit here, if the sourcecode that's around can be ported easily, perhaps it'll work. :)

Also, I was wondering if the Dingoo could serve a purpose while hooked up to a PC? Like acting as a status monitor / secondary display of said computer or something?

I know it won't run 3d games but, at least, to have a smooth simulation with sound on games that currently work fine like Final Fantasy VII or Metal gear.  I mean, I think that's what most people are truly waiting for. It would be the last step on Dingoo's supremacy.
Just my two cents. Btw, is anyone working with that emulator in the present time?

IIRC the Jaguar had THREE complete CPUs, a 68K and two custom jobs(Tom + Jerry)...  I don't think that ANY amount of optimization would get it even close to useable on the Dingoo, after all look at the SNES problems with games that use addon chips.

Plus most of the Jag games were pretty awful... Tempest & Alien v. Predator were probably the best of the lot with the rest FAR below those two...

[EDIT]
Yep 3 CPUs + a more complex than usual sound chip.  I really doubt if even the Caanoo version would ever get to a playable level...

Sorry if it?s been mentioned before but would it be possible to circumvent the copy protection ("type "p") in

Frontier Elite II  ?

I used to spend hundreds of hours with it in the 90ies and was thrilled to find it for the Dingux here - but after 2 or 3 landings, you get behing bars, i.e. game over, since you?d have to have a keyboard to enter "p" :(

Is this easily fixable, perhaps? :)

It is not DoxBox, it is the "standalone" Dingux-Version of FE 2, which otherwise seems to play very well, if it were not for the copy protection and the Dingoo?s unability to push the "p" button.

The source code is available, so it's definitely doable. But one would have to actually do it :)
I remember the author of the glfrontier left the copy protection deliberately, so people still have to use game data from original copies. That said, one could probably entirely remove the code responsible for this, but that could be seen as "immoral" by the frontier communities ;)

I mentioned earlier that it should be possible to port Tapan Kaikki (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tapankaikki/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tapankaikki/)). I actually started working on it some time ago, but gave up in the middle of it (I took wrong approach to changing resolution and there were some bugs which prevented me from debugging). The actual game can be made to run in 320x240 without any downscaling, but I'm not sure if it would work full speed. On the other hand menus work in 640x480 and those would need a downscaler. The source code has some bugs which prevent it from compiling (those can be fixed) and some which cause it to crash randomly (for some reason I was unable to debug it). Also there were a few ASM commands in the source code. There was only a handful of them, they didn't seem to be in the main game code and they were only used in the release build (or was it debug build).
Obviously the game needs data files to run and those can be obtained from the precompiled version. However, most menu images need to be in PCX format instead of the EFP format. The conversion has to be done using a Windows (or maybe even DOS) command line application.

If the game would not work full speed on Dingoo, additional speed boost might be achieved by removing the pseudo 3D effect (I have no idea if it can be done using a compiler flag or if it requires tinkering in the code).

I'm currently being lazy, but I might try porting TK4 one more time some time later.

As I said the copy protection itself is not the problem, the problem is the missing Dingoo keyboard for entering any :(

Funny hting is, the way I had gotten FE2 in the mid nineties it was on a CD in a big retailer here, plus the handbooks in multilingual on an accompanying diskette - but no code words for the copy protection, because there was no original handbook included, those reissue fools :D! So I handwrote it from a hobby site in the internet...

I tried that, it's much more advanced than FreeCNC (and OpenRA) but it's still missing some important things.

Ok and what about FreeSynd (sourcecode is linked in the previous page) and cd audio tracks support for Dingux Hugo? Any chance to see them on Dingoo?
Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: flpstrquerendoumdingoo!!! on January 02, 2012, 09:19:33 pm
I made it run (FreeCNC), but there's no point on porting it, the enemies don't have AI, they just stand there so you can kill them. It's not a real "game" in this state of development and for what I've read, noone is working on it since 2004.

I just found this: OpenRedAlert http://sourceforge.net/projects/openredalert/files/latest/download?source=files
This should be fully playable.

Moreover i would like to know if CD audio tracks support can be added to Dingux Hugo (http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/public/dingux/dingux-hugo/dingux-hugo-v1.1.2-src.zip). The original author made a PSP version compatible with audio tracks in Mp3 format: http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/public/psp/psphugo/psphugo-v1.3.0-src.zip. I have linked sources of both Dingux and PSP Hugo, please Diego can you try to make audio tracks working on Dingux Hugo?
Hello I started tinkering with it, and I have a compiled.
Edit
Looking at the best source seems to me that the option of sound. Mp3 is not enabled UPnP because it was disabled for the Wiz.

Just dropping this here http://db.tigsource.com/developers/ikiki so you can taste the sweet delight of simple really goody games, and maybe the desire to learn Japanese and ask the author of the games to give you the source ;3

Try Nikkujin FTW.

I thought those were made using Game Factory (or its later incarnation).

Edit: I was right, Media Fusion is mentioned on the page. I heard there was suppose to be a Java runtime for Klick & Play games, but MF is slightly more advanced. In other words, porting ikiki's games to Dingoo is a no go (unless you want to rewrite them in C yourself).

These games are made with "Multimedia Fusion" which is a game maker thingie. Not portable.

I think you'll have to wait some time, in the downloads section there's no source and it says "Listed below are the most recent DoomRL binary downloads. As for the source, it may eventually be available, but no sooner than before DoomRL 1.0.0.".

It should be possible though, they only say that it needs SDL. The hard thing whould be to fit most of if in a 320x240 screen, it may require more than a resize to be playable.

You are probably right, it came out few days ago so it is a little early. And by looking on this review by phreakindee it looks like AI shoots you further from the rectangle of 320x240 around you. That would mean that they could "see" you before you see them, so resizing would mean more work, maybe downscaling from 640x480...
But still it would be awesome!  ;D Eh, I will wait for it patiently like i wait for OD.

Post by: Rosenkranz on March 03, 2012, 02:38:06 pm
I have managed to change resolutions in linux low quality version. Here are 800x640, 320x240, 640x480, 800x480 and 480x272.

800x600 is default resolution when you first start.

320x240 You can't see the menu or hud and you need to scroll a lot. Picture is not centred so your character can go out of the screen. Though not playable resolution is supported out of the box.

640x480. You can see the menu when you start, but font is too big and text is out of the screen. Still totally playable with change in font size.


800x480. Almost the same as 800x600. Text and the hood is visible and totally playable. (Yinlips and jxd s7100 owners will be so happy :)

480x272. Little better than 320x240 but still too big font and a lot of scrolling to see where are enemies.

Still there is no Android port for now, but I can see it in the near future :).

Edit: My conclusion is if it ever would be ported to Dingoo, it would have to be downscaled from 640x480 with font or Hud resize to be playable.

Freeprince (Princed) is in a very early stage. I had it running on the Dingoo since like 2009, but it's not playable at all, so no point releasing the port.

Yeah the NES one is pretty close in look and feel to the PC, I don't like the colours though - it's really purple looking compared to the dingy blue and black of the PC. The dungeon looks too nice!

The GBC one looked quite similar to the PC version but was basically just the GB game with a splash of colour. No bad thing though.

Hmm... I downloaded the source code but after building it I have no other cars in the races, also no powerups and no obstacles. The compiler doesn't gave me any errors, so maybe the source is outdated :S or for some unkown reason those things are missing in my PC.

If someone can test this and can confirm that the game works I can try to make it fit in the 320x240 of the Dingoo.

Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: Rosenkranz on January 15, 2013, 10:37:51 am
I am maybe boring but I like to dig around looking for games :). Maaaybe one of them could be portable.

What about this one: http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/

Knights is a multiplayer game involving several knights who must run around a dungeon and complete various quests.
It was first time ported to Amiga. Game play is made something like Spy vs Spy on C64 where you lay traps for other player and try to escape the dungeon full of other death traps and zombies... Even your corps can return as one :).
It supports single play and separated server (for GCW users or GCW-to-Dingoo users maybe?).

Pros:
Graphics are resizable.
Author is still active(last post on 31. Dec. 2012) and easily reachable (through forum, mail or blog) and could help with porting or even make one himself.
Source available and written in C++ following GNU GPL licence.
Needed just few buttons for actions and movement

Cons:
Not sure how would it look on 320x240. Didn't have the time to try to build one. Originally it was made for Amiga, so resolution doesn't have to be a problem.
Not sure if the server is needed to play single play and if it is, how to make it work with Dingoo or GCW. Is it even possible?
It is a hot seat game from the beginning, how is it playable with only half the screen used(looking from the pictures)?
Control panel for starting the game is made for OS with GUI in mind. Is it portable to Open Dingux?

Post by: DiegoSLTS on April 14, 2013, 02:29:53 am
It looks like it's C/C++ with only SDL, so it should be possible.

What's the game resolution? I guess it has a lot of text, maybe the port is possible but a resize to 320x240 makes it unplayable without extra modifications (like using a bigger font).
Title: Re: Project Ideas and Requests
Post by: lemmywinks on April 14, 2013, 10:47:01 am
Have no idea about resolution, I assume it was CGA (it was a late 80s game I think), the xu4 version supports the orginal graphics and a VGA upgrade so it might actually be a cool candidate for porting.

I never actually played it on the PC, I had it on the Master System which was a near identical port. There is a lot of text(there are a lot of NPCs) but it isn't really a text heavy RPG in the sense that each character doesn't have lots of boring lines, conversations are quite quick and replies are one line.

Although it does work perfectly under Master System emulation I know a lot of people here like playing PC ports and it would be a totally legit way to play the game.

I would very much like to play my GP32 games again (preferably emulated on the GCW zero or RS-97). As far as I remember there was only one GP32 emulator (GeePee32, see http://users.skynet.be/bk327964/gp32/ (http://users.skynet.be/bk327964/gp32/)). A few months ago the topic of a GP32 emulator was mentioned on Reddit (see https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/8isdwb/this_guy_made_the_only_gp32_and_cybiko_emulators/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/8isdwb/this_guy_made_the_only_gp32_and_cybiko_emulators/)). Is was mentioned there is a MAME/MESS core for the Gp32 but I think they are mistaken: it concerns a MAME port running on the GP32...

However if anyone knows more or is perhaps as trilled about the idea of playing 'Little Wizard' on the RS-97 as I am (and  very skilled ): the idea is out there!

I would pay for a FINAL FIGHT LNS ULTIMATE port for OpenDingux, RG350M.

Link to the .pak https://fflnsultimate.firebaseapp.com/descargas

It's available for almost all devices, windows, Linux, raspberry etc

The game is an OpenBor game but as it has been heavily modified, the OpenBor that is available for OpenDingux is very old and doesn't run it.

Don't know what would be easier. To update the OpenBor app so it can run all new games or to port the game.

I have never been so hyped for a Beat em up since Scott Pilgrim was announced on PS3!!! and of course, it's a shame we can't play FF LNS on our devices.

Hope someone can help!
