Update Oct 25, 2011: It looks like I'm not going to have the time to keep up with this, unfortunately. However, I will begin inputting the current info into the WIKI sometime this coming weekend. I've been having problems with my SD corrupting repeatedly (beginning to think the SD card itself is at least partially at fault) and I can't keep reloading dingux to test apps. That said, if others continue to post to this thread, I'll come back from time to time and update the OP and try to keep the wiki up to date with the info contained here. At least for now, I won't have time to keep up with all the new releases posted, so if you DO post a program to be included with the list, please also post a link to the release thread where possible so I can make sure the newest version is included when I do updates. Thanks to everybody who's helped out.

OP Follows.

Okay, so I've updated my A320 to OD Dev PR2 (I haven't modified my dingoo in so long, I don't even remember what version rootfs I was on before  )

Anyway, I did a bit of looking around and it doesn't seem as if anyone has started a legacy apps compatibility list yet. (sorry if there has, my forum/wiki searching skills are renowned for their inadequacy). I'm painfully aware that my Linux skills are lacking so many problems may be my own fault, bear with me. Please contribute to the list, share tips on getting things working, and for those of you whose skills surpass my own, point developers towards the specific reason why any app isn't working - error messages, missing rootfs support, incompatible methods, etc etc.

So far, I've tested the following:
Applications:

• Dingux Commander 2.1 with Chinese Character support Download - Not sure, I think this is my fault perhaps. GMenu itself bombs out and restarts when attempting to select the folder DC2.1 is contained in to add a link. 
• Dingux Commander 2.1 Download - Works.
• Dingux Write 1.1.0 Download - Works
• SDLCalc Download - Works

Games:

• Arkanoid Download Wiki - Runs fine
• ASCIIPortal Download Wiki - seems fine
• Biniax2 Download Wiki - Crashes
• Block Dude Download Wiki - Crashes
• Blockrage Download Wiki - Works
• Bubble Dizzy Download - Works
• CDogs Download - Runs fine, sound is fine. Game is slow on default clocks, playable at 408Mhz
• CommanderGenius (clonekeenplus) Download - Works fine. Includes freeware episodes 1 and 4 (support for ep4 is experimental, doesn't work).  Full-version episodes can be bought here (post if you find a cheaper source for these)
• CZDoom Download - Works fine. Additional IWads can be used via launching the game with the parameter "-iwad [WADNAME]" via a shell script.
• Defendguin Download Wiki - Crashes after splash screen
• Dodgin Diamonds 2 Download Wiki - Makes it to the main menu, crashes upon starting a level.
• Eduke32 Download Wiki - Runs at fullspeed with sound, default clocks. Very busy screens, certain animations will slow it down. Duke it out in DC, Carribean Vacation, and Nuclear Winter expansion packs work fine. Shareware files available here. Atomic edition (full) can be purchased and data files can be extracted from the version here
• GemdropX Download Wiki - Crashes after loading screen
• Giana's Return Download - works.
• Kobo Deluxe Download Wiki - Crashes
• Meritous Download Wiki - Works
• MrDrillux Download Wiki - Hangs
• OpenJazz Download - Runs, no sound.
• OpenJazz (Zear's Version) Download - Works fine. Some screen corruption noticed on intro with FULLCD datafiles (likely a problem with the port or data rather than OD). Otherwise runs perfectly. You'll need datafiles (commercial or shareware). The shareware files are available here. The full version files can be bought from Epic Classics, assuming they're still in business (?) page date is 2008. If anybody's ordered from them recently please let us know.
• OpenLiero Download Wiki - Crashes, probably because it's staticly compiled?
• OpenTyrian (ungood's version) Download - Crashes on start.  This version also had a reproducible late-game crash on legacy Dingux.
• OpenTyrian (sweetlilmre's optimized build) Download  WIKI - Runs fine. Faster than ungood's build on legacy Dingux, the late-game crash is removed as well. You'll need the Tyrian2.1 data files (freeware) available here.
• QuakeSDL Rikku2000's VersionDownload - Works
• Rise Of The Triad Download WIKI - Runs fullspeed with sound, default clocks. Shareware data files here, full version can be purchased here.
• Ro Bullet Reactor Download - Works
• Slitherlink Download Release Thread - works
  
  • Spout Download - Works
  • So, Let's Roll a Smile - Works. Anybody have a working DL link? PACC2010 link is broken.
  • Ur-Quan MastersDownloadWIKI - Bombs out on selection from Gmenu.
  • XRick Download - Works
  
  Last edit: Added several games to the list

i have no problem with quake, meritous, jazz rabbit, opentyrian (maybe different version?) and dingux commander but i use the 2.0 version

Interesting. I'll have to play around a bit and see what might be different from my old config to the new one. (still have my old SD card intact)

First thing I'll do is copy the old install directly into the new SD.  It's been so long since I originally did this, I may just be making a configuration problem 

One question though, what version of quake are you using? Quakux or SDLQuake? I just got SDLQuake (and the rest of the downloads) off of the links on the Dingoonity WIKI page

EDIT - Indeed meritous works. Perhaps it wasn't working before because a crashed application left dingux in an odd state until the machine was restarted. OpenTyrian from my old SD card works... I noticed that I had backed up the original Tyrian.dge in the folder and replaced it with another. Perhaps the version linked in the wiki is just OLD?

Still can't get quake to work, likely a misconfiguration on my part. OpenJazz still has no audio, maybe the sound is just turned down somehow... Dingux Commander 2.1 from the BeyondDS blog works, the version linked to from the WIKI with Chinese character support doesn't. Probably a linux file permissions problem?

out of the remaining games from my old SD card, the ones which don't work are:
alice in crapland - dies upon entering level
biniax2 -> crashes
block dude -> bombs out
clonekeen2x -> crashes
Dodgin Diamonds 2 -> main menu, crashes when level starts
Defendguin -> splash screen
gemdropX -> dies after loading screen
kobo deluxe - Crashes
mrdrillux -> hangs
openliero ->crashes
Powermanga -> crashes
raw -> bombs out
rotategearux -> main menu. hangs on mission start
super transball 2 -> crashes
tcgs_car -> crashes ingame
quake -> bombs out
Tyrian -> new version works
waternet - crashes


OpenJazz works with sound. Make sure you are using the version by zear and for those of you having issues with opentyrian get the version by sweetlimre both are on openhandhelds.org

I know dingux hugo has been updated for OD and midpath is said to be working. I would still like some feedback from those who have used it. Can anyone tell me why they might not function. The error message i get seems to be related to a sound driver. I cant fully make out what it says as the error messge dissappears very quick. I understand OD is new, but hugo is working for others is it not?  Please lend me a hand here, i would love to play some turbo!! Thanks.

Not sure, i got the version from open handhelds. Is that the not the right version?  Ayla posted in another thread that hugo was not working and is now fixed. Thank you for the response. I appreciate all the help from everyone!!!

Ok Hugo works great now. I can get midpath to start, but cant seem to get it to run, it gets stuck on a loading screen that never goes away. I will keep working at it. As far as hugo goes, i notice corruption in Air zonk, magical chase and neutopia. some games have this corruption, some dont. Can anyone else veryify these same problems. I dont believe it to be the emulator. it might have to do with my settings, or maybe the games are bad. All i need to know is if anyone else is having the same issue.  thanks.

Updated OP, added more files.

The error message for Quake(SDL) you quote is totally unrelated. It appears each time you switch from a graphical app to a text console, and this occurs when an application fails to load. So the only information it provides is that the app failed to load...

http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingux-releases/quake%28sdl%29-1-02-r2-tec/
is it the version of quake you use?
have you tried without the ingame overclocking (let it at 336mhz), like i told you few message ago?

Yeah, I don't know what the problem was. It wasn't even getting to the point of letting me chose the overclocking. I just deleted everything and started copying files from scratch and it didn't work, and I did it again, now it does. I'm pretty sure I had Rikku2000's 1.02 R2-Tec before but maybe it was a different version. Anywho, it's working, and the link to the working version is up in the OP.

Ok, i changed versions of openjazz to the one with sound and i cant get it working. I read the instructions carefully and put the full cd data files in the appropriate directory. Is this similar to midpath were it needs to be in a specific folder in order to function? I have put openjazz in root and in local with no luck. I have also tried the cd and non cd version of the game with no luck. I'm only trying to start one copy of jazz at a time, i do not have multiple copies loaded in different directories.

I don't believe it needs any special position in the file system. I just have mine in local/games/openjazz. I threw my fullcd data files into the relevant folder and it worked. Have you tried the shareware episode?
