Hey, thanks for all the great releases! I, however, cannot get A5200 to run on the SE. The log viewer says it can't find the bios. I have the bios and it's named 5200.rom. I've tried it in several locations. Is this still the correct name and where does it go?

Also, it seems like these opks are not allowing any settings to be saved. If I extract the opk and just link to the dge, I can play them and the settings save. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks for any help.

Well..., extract from readme file :

Quote

Put a5200.opk to "apps" folder of inner flash-memory of your handheld.
Put bios named 5200.rom to "/boot/local/home" directory
Put your .A52 & .BIN games where you want.

Thanks! Mine didn't have a readme. I had put it in the home/.a5200 folder. Haven't had to put a bios in just the home folder yet. That fixed it!

Does the 2600 also require a bios? It just crashes when you select the rom folder. 7200 works without bios.

The Atari 2600 does not have a BIOS so it must be another problem.

alekmaul, do you plan to release a Dingoo version of these great emulators?

Has anyone else got a issue with the dpad and analogue stick conflicting with this?
I've tried turning analogue controls off/on in the menu but the problem still exists, its really noticeable on asteroids the craft keeps spinning in circles!
It seems to have started after upgrading the GCW firmware.

alekmaul · « **Reply #8 on:** August 14, 2013, 12:28:35 pm »

OK, will check this problem. The game is ok when you disable analog stick in menu ?

No it makes no difference.
This is not the only emulator that I have noticed with the same problem,
Dcastaway also does it and also in fba the analogue stick does not work at all.
It started happening after the 22/7/13 firmware update.
I have tested my analogue stick in the hwtest and also scummvm and there are no problems at all.
It seems to be only affecting apps that use both the dpad and analogue stick.
Also it seems to only happen during startup of a game, if I rotate the analogue stick a couple of times during play it seems to go back to normal control, and if I touch the analogue stick again by accident it starts spinning out of control again. (If that makes any sense!)

Is anyone having any issues getting this emu running? I can't even get to the main screen to be able to pick a rom, it just crashes back to gmenu when I run it. I've tried different bios files with the same results but I don't think I need the bios to get the emulator to start, correct?

alekmaul · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:38:44 am »

Well, just read carefully this thread, i answered regarding the bios file ...

Orion4874 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2013, 05:45:11 am »

Ah, I see what I did. I assumed when you said put the bios in the /home dir it really meant the .5200 folder like the other emus use. Sorry about that!

Prophet · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2014, 11:02:00 pm »

Sorry to raise a somewhat dead topic, but I just used this emu for the first time today.

Have it working, but want to ask if anyone else is having:

-- choppy framerates? Ex. Stargate & Moon Patrol are choppy, and sound is off.
-- sometimes controls go crazy. Happened to me in Stargate.

Not sure Alekmaul is still working on these nice emulators, but would love to see new versions someday.

Does anyone have a fresh link to this file?

Spaceman · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2016, 06:09:01 pm »

It's great all these emulators and all, but what would be really great is an actual working link.
You know, so people can actually use them.
There are actually very little working links to any of these OPK's on here.

Yeah I think all of Alekmaul's zero releases are on there.
Pity he's not actively involved in the community anymore.
