Wally, any luck with that toolchain?

After a few years of non-activity I am in the mood to develop something again. I never published my vAtari 2600 emulator outside of the Pandora Angst Competition so I'll do that first. What sort of emulator would people be interested in for their GP32 - assuming people still use it? Some...

On eBay, see here for details.

I've got both a Dingoo A320 and a Wiz. The A320 has amazing battery life and retention. Don't play it for 3 months and get back to it and it still powers on! Fantastic! The build quality of the unit I have is average but it's strong. I bought mine when they first came out and everything is...

I love DosBox for the Pandora - my fave emulator. I have found that mouse emulation using the nubs isn't quite right? For example running Harpoon, the mouse seems have incorrect bounding box limits? ie. you can't access the entire screen with the mouse cursor. My own port of DosBox 0.74 port...

I'm certainly getting the Ya Nanonote when it's released. I used to play Warhammer 40K and RPG - thus my name. I used to have a Slaanesh army.

Yes, oone request was disk access indicator - which is probably not a bad idea as loading can sometimes take a while. I also like seeing what the display framerate is doing too so I might put that up too.

The 2nd revision of the Nanonote, called the Ya Nanonote is coming. I'm actually a big fan of the Ben Nanonote, despite it's modest specifications. I really love the keyboard and to be honest it's a better layout and easier to use than the Pandora. Looking forward to this version. Supposed to...

In vga_only mode, DosBox creates a 640x400 surface. This is then used to render all video work including lower resolution screens. In svga_s3 mode, DosBox creates a surface the size of the actual resolution. For example, a 320x200 PC screen is actually drawn on a 320x200 SDL surface. It's to...

The vgaonly bug is fixed, however vgaonly is slower thatn svga_s3 mode. Why? Because it renders EVERYTHING in 640x400 pixels, even 320x200 mode. Pixels are just doubled. So it was a bit of a waste of time, though fixing a bug is never a waste of effort. Lots of speed ups in the new version so...

I'll still take the GP32 games for sure! I still love my GP32, mucho grande! Sent you a PM.

I think you are using the wrong emulator. I have a nice emulator for the Atari 2600 that I entered in the Pandora Angst competition. Use that one. It's fast and very compatible. EDIT: Actually I'm going to make an official release of this on my webpage soon.

You also need memsize=4 (minimum) You may also need to run the MoM "installer" first. This sets up the hardware. I run it with no sound and it seems to work fine however this is on DosBox for A320/Nanonote which is using DosBox 0.74

Try switching off the dynarec. ie. set core=simple

Generally specific emulators will perform better than MAME. Case in point is FBA which emulators CPS1/CPS2 very well. However, FBA also emulates other games like Sega System 16 but MAME does these better... much better in fact. One of the reasons is that MAME isn't totally generic. Each driver...

I'm currently trying to track down a bug if you specify machine=vgaonly. It's really deep down somewhere in the renderer and it's proving irksome to find. Should have it soon. I'll also add more direct support for A320 mouse user. Probably using the on/off switch as a button to toggle mouse...

May i ask which kernel you are using?

Thanks to those who are doing some testing. Here are some specific instructions: Nanonote (I hope at least one of you has one of these): Keyboard should fully work. Mouse is activated by holding "blue fn" + arrow key for movement. "blue fn" + "up vol"/"down vol" for left/right mouse button...

Alright, I've made some fixes for the Dingux version. It works and displays on my A320 fine now. I've also done some profiling of the 'simple' core. It's pretty fast now. Almost as fast as the dyna-rec for some apps/games. If anyone wants a beta test version please PM with your email details so...

I've been busy with DosBox 0.74 for the Nanonote/Dingux. However even with the dyna-rec it's still not hugely fast. If this is twice as fast as Dosbox, this would work nicely on the Nanonote. May even consider GP32 if the memory requirements are low enough.
