Release The Last Mission remake

Farox · Nov 27, 2011

Hi

this is my new quick port The Last Mission by Dmitry Smagin available here for Dingoo

http://boards.dingoo...-for-native-os/

Is a nice remake of a old 8 bit game available for Spectrum-CPC-MSX-IBMPC made by OperaSoft in 1987.

I have only changed to run the game in fullscreen and changed some buttons.

The buttons used are :

D-PAD - move

A/B/X/Y - fire

p - Pause

ESC - Exit

Download here http://repo.openpand...astmission-9053

Pandora screens:

Enjoy the 8 bit

HINT:

If you leave run the game on the main page, after some time, it show itself how to play....a very nice feature.

29/11/11 PND file in the repo updated with a fixed (i hope) PXML file, corrected game version to 0.5 (before was incorrectly show 1.0), and added some docs inside the PND.

23/01/2016 updated from latest stable source (0.8).

Thanks

Looove that CGA look

I came upon the Dingoo version only a week ago; this should be much sweeter on the Pandora. Thanks.

I have a problem with this .pnd.

It doesn't appear in the menu or the desktop.

Worse : some of my icons in the menu disappear too.

Before posting, I tried to copy it on both of my SD, swapped SDs from port 1 to port 2, left only one SD containing the .pnd and still the same problem.

When I remove it and reboot, all works fine.

Anyone tried it ?

Twiitcher · Nov 28, 2011

I placed the pnd in my pandora/menu/games folder (all my games are there) and it doesn't show up in the menu. If I navigate to the pnd using Thunar, and execute, no workie... any requirements as to where / how to place the pnd file?

Same problem with Komi and just gave up..

No other requirements are needed to run the game...Try to put the PND into SDCARD/pandora/apps directory.

is "pndnotifyd" still running after dropping that PND in place ?, if not, find why it crash with this PND

BAFelton · Nov 28, 2011

Nope, doesn't appear anywhere. It should appear where ?

It's in SDCARD/pandora/apps ? NOT SDCARD/pandora/appdata ?

Twiitcher · Nov 28, 2011

Komi and thelastmission, both with same issue, they are in sd0/pandora/apps and they don't appear. When trying to run them (via thunar - right click - execute, no go, no appdata folder created, nothin. Running HF6.

Farox · Nov 28, 2011

I'm sorry but i don't think is a issue of my PND....or maybe not ? maybe someone more expert could explain this.

milkshake · Nov 28, 2011

do you try to specify the appdata folder in your startup script?

Farox · Nov 28, 2011

I have used the Yactfeau script to run the game....

here is the start.sh script

Code:

#!/bin/sh

export PATH=":${PATH:-"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin"}"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-"/usr/lib:/lib"}"

export HOME="/mnt/utmp/thelastmission" XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/mnt/utmp/thelastmission"

if [ -d /mnt/utmp/thelastmission/share ];then

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/mnt/utmp/thelastmission/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share

fi

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa"

cd $HOME

[ -e "$HOME/scripts/pre_script.sh" ] && . $HOME/scripts/pre_script.sh

if [ -e "$HOME/scripts/post_script.sh" ];then

./lastmission.bin $*

. $HOME/scripts/post_script.sh

else

exec ./lastmission.bin $*

fi

The script looks ok. Would you post the pxml.xml?

This is the first place I would look at, when something like this happens.

pmprog · Nov 29, 2011

Can anybody else install this from the PNDStore app on their Pandora? When I do it, it just closes

Thank's for the help

mcobit · Nov 29, 2011

Why do you have two identical descriptiontags? One with a description and one without? Maybe this could be a problem. Also you could put the packagedescription in one line.

Else i can't see anything from a quick look at it

milkshake · Nov 29, 2011

1. the title element should be incased inside the <titles></titles> block

2. also it would be a good idead to add a description and a title outside the <titles><descriptions> blocks for backwards compatibility (i.e. hf5 compatibility).

so like this

Code:

<titles>

        <title lang="en_US">The Last Mission</title>

</titles>

<title lang="en_US">The Last Mission</title>

and this

Code:

<descriptions> 

        <description lang="en_US">This is almost the exact replica of the PC version by Opera Soft (original authors).</description> 

</descriptions> 

<description lang="en_US">This is almost the exact replica of the PC version by Opera Soft (original authors).</description><!-- backwards compat -->

Farox · Nov 29, 2011

Thank to all i have updated the PND in the repo with a new PXML file.

Please redownload and report if work.

Thanks

lomaxx · Nov 29, 2011

Gnah. Just saw your reply popping up after testing, editing and fixing the old version. All done with the Pandora from a comfortable seat in my living-room, with my cat beside me and listening to some internet-radio.

Anyway here is a validated PXML-file. Just the liscence might need to be adjusted.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<PXML xmlns="http://openpandora.org/namespaces/PXML" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PXML_schema.xsd">
