Yes, I've got full keyboard support for Nanonotes. I'm working on mouse support as well for both A320 and nanonote.

Mouse support for Dingoo? Mouse Emulation?

I think I needed a rest. I haven't touched any development for about 4 weeks now.
I'm interested again, thanks to the Pandora but I want to finish off DOSBox for the A320/Nanonote first.
I'm just in process of getting mouse emulation in.
Once this is done, I'll see what needs to be done to get to 0.74 of DOSBox as well. It's probably worth the upgrade I think too (just read the changes).
I also noticed that there is a new rootfs/kernel for the Nanonote - but I couldn't find any release documentation for it. Anyone now what's changed?

hi slaanesh ,Menelkir a Brazilian dev, is testing a optimized kernel for dingux.The most important thing is the SWAP function,a320 can use 64M and more virtue memory.most of mame32's games can be run and great performance.many type of game GB,GBA,MAME,GG，openbor....they are run very fast !!
this swap is greatful!!so i think it good for your work.(dosbox),FBA!!!
and i hope you can add the amount of mame32 support game list

Hi slaanesh,
you don't need to add mouse emulation anymore. Take my mouse driver and everything works fine. I tested DosBox with it and it works great!

It's an real mice interface for dingux. Configurable via config files.

That's great that it works with DOSBOX.
There's only two little problems:
1). It's probably not Nanonote compatible as it needs a new kernel.
2). To remain compatible with all users I don't want to make DOSBOX reliant on a specific kernel.
Also, I haven't had much time to do much but that should improve starting next week.

It's not kernel specific!
It even works on OpenDingux (has already uinput enabled).
It uses the Keymouse which is made for Linux to emulate a v.mouse via keys to the /dev/mice device..
The only thing, it need uinput as kernel or module support. Should be possible with nanonote too. Someone on nanonote irc reported, that it works.
It's normal Linux style to use the /dev/input/mice as Mouse device ;-).
If you still want to add your own virtual mouse, please don't make using this virtual mouse driver impossible!

Hey slanesh,
maybe you can share your work, that other people can work on dosbox to get it work.

Getting back into some development after a much needed break.
Who is using their Nanonote for DOSBOX?
Big improvements in the next version. I've got the following working:
* Full keyboard working (Nanonote only, obviously)
* Built in mouse support (for both Nanonote/A320)
And will also include:
* OSD keyboard for the A320 (this is what I am working on next).
* Expecting 20% faster thanks to profiling the code.

Oh neat, it's a ... field.
It's going to take me until october until I have the money to buy one, but yeah, dosbox and frotz are the main reasons for getting one.

Hey.
good to see you are working on dosbox. Could you fix the screenmode from Dosbox. Dosbox tried to initialize 640x400 screenmode everytime i start it. This don't work correct using the open-dingux kernel. It works using the legacy kernel...but better to fix this.
cheers

I have't been following the Dingux scene much. What's the difference between the legacy kernel and the open-dingux kernel?

open-dingux is in development. it uses a newer linux kernel as base.
it has doubbelbuffer support, uses alsa instead of oss, has nand-read support (so you can access internal nand), uses cpufreq buildin kernel to set clock and lots of other bugfixes.
open-dingux desc.

I've got a question for DosBox on the Dingoo. I see that you have an arena configuration set up for download in the file archive. How does that run on the dingoo? I set up Arena on the pandora and it gets close to playable only when I overclock it to 1 Ghz ( Omap 5 ). Just wondering if there is any kind of hardware acceleration that the dingoo version has.

Oh is that all...
Thats pretty significant. The double buffer support would be worth it alone!
Okay, well looks like I'll have to use this new kernel.
NAND support is also nice.
Thanks for the summary. I was starting to think that deving for Dingux was going to be superceded by just doing native ports.

Okay that's mouse emulation in. Also as a significant bonus the keymapper screen is fully working now too. This should be a boon for A320 users too so that you can re-map buttons on the fly.
Now I've got to make it work with the new Open Dingux kernel.
That reminds me... what percentage of people are using the old Dingux kernel vs the new Open Dingux kernel?
