Hello everybody, I bring good news for Zelda series lovers!

I just compile the game "The Legend of Zelda - Return of the Hylian" to Dingux. This is the first game of a trilogy developed by fans. My intention is to build all the three for Dingux, the first is already there

The buttons are mapped as follows:

Start - Confirm;
Select - Opens menu to save the game;
A - Opens chests / read plates;
B - Run;
Y - Attack;
X - Use selected item;
R - Map;
L + D-pad - Look around.

Here's the download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4IZEK1RZ
Mirror: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/dingoo.cgi?0,0,0,0,26,389

For more information about the game, including Walkthroughs, visit the creators: http://www.zeldaroth.fr/us/index.php
For more information about the port to dingux, visit the following post (portuguese): http://www.shinnil.co.cc/2010/08/legend-of-zelda-return-of-hylian-dingux.html

Hello everybody, yesterday I disabled all sound in the game for testing. It took much longer to freeze. The interesting thing was that before freezing was possible to see the game getting slower. That makes me change my mind, now I think that really has something to do with memory usage.

I made some code changes in order to free up memory, now I need some time to test. After I inform you the result.

I thank everyone for the feedback, it is helping me to isolate the problem.

I think it is not difficult, maybe I just need to replicate my code changes in french version. I can do this after I solve the problem of random freezing, it is giving me nightmares.
I think your English is better than mine

You can connect your dingoo with usb to your pc and run top in a telnetsession to see if it is really a memoryissue.

Thanks for the tip, Santino! It seems not a memory problem, this is the output of top at the time of freezing.

I killed the process after that, then returned to gmenu, but he also froze ... The changes I mentioned earlier also had no effect.

EDIT2: Note that the status of process 170 is "D" (uninterruptible sleep), maybe it's waiting an I/O operation.

Please let me know if you can bypass the problem with this configuration.

Meanwhile I'll keep trying ...

Now tested the port on my dingoo: its a real pleasure to play zelda on the dingoo, but it froze first time directly after picking up the sword... too bad.

Shin-NiL · « **Reply #26 on:** August 05, 2010, 11:38:44 pm »

Today I converted all images to bmp and removed all the functions of SDL_image, because I thought the problem might be related to this library, but once again the effort was in vain.

I have no more idea of what can be

Orion4874 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 06, 2010, 05:01:02 am »

The Wiz and Pandora versions both have freezing issues as well. Does the dingux version use timidity? They're pretty sure the problem lies somewhere with that.

EDIT
Whoops, just noticed you beat me to it, sorry.

Shin-NiL · « **Reply #28 on:** August 06, 2010, 11:11:01 pm »

Thank you Orion4874, I'm talking to the porters of these platforms, thinking together will be easier to find a solution

Hello guys!

After much work, we fix the random freeze issue. I thank all who contributed on this post through feedback and suggestions

Following are the changes from version 1.1

v1.1 (08/08/2010)
Improvements

Finally fixed the random freezing issue (thanks hmn & sebt3 from GP32X.com forum);
Fixed a major memory leak that caused the system to hang after loading a save;
Buttons remapped to look more like the SNES version (with minimal code changes).

Known issues / to do list

There are still some minor memory leak that can cause a system crash after a long playing time. May never happen for those who use swap.

Now the buttons are mapped as follows:

Start - Confirm;
Select - Opens menu to save the game;
A - Run / Lift;
B - Attack / Read plates / Talk / Open chests (press and hold);
Y - Use selected item;
X - Map;
R + D-pad - Look around.;
L - Monster encyclopedia (missed in the previous version)

Here's the download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LDAX1KBM

Great that you fixed this. I just set up swap solely in fear of encountering that "minor memory leak"

Good job.

eule · « **Reply #33 on:** August 10, 2010, 02:43:05 pm »

What a cool love story between Pandora, Dingoo and Wiz!

Hello again Brodiaga,

I have not forgotten your request, I just have not had much free time lately, and probably I'll only have more free time in the middle of next month

Anyway, I will try release the French version as soon as possible as promised.

Thanks for the tip about Zelda Solarus, I didn't know this project, I will check the feasibility of a port soon.

See ya!
