Slaanesh has released an Atari 2600 Emulator for Dingoo:

I was playing around with Stella for Dingux - but was getting a bit annoyed with some little problems. The default keymaps weren't very good and the build seemed a little slow. Selecting some options also seemed to crash the emulator.
So I decided to build my own version and share it around. It plays all my favorites at nice speed.
Pitfall II works but you will need to overclock to 420Mhz and it's still slow. What a beast!

Big thanks to the Stella developers, it's really is a great emulator - all these screen shots were taken using the built-in snapshot grabber.



Launcher and Menu Default Keymap
Up - Move up
Down - Move down
Left - Page Up (useful in the game select list)
Right - Page Down
(A) - Select
(B) - Cancel
(X) - Next Tab. You need this to navigate some of the menus!
Left Shoulder - Next menu/option item
Right Shoulder - Previous menu/option item (this doesn't work in the console menu).

Emulator Default Keymap
Up - Joystick up
Down - Joystick down
Left - Joystick left
Right - Joystick right
(A) - Joystick fire button
(B) - Not defined. I used it for snapshots.
(Y) - Console SELECT (usually select game number)
(X) - Console RESET (usually start game)
SELECT - Exit game, back to game selector.
START - Console RESET
Left Shoulder - Options
Right Shoulder - Console Menu

Install Default Directory
/usr/local/stella/roms - ROM directory
/usr/local/stella/screenshot - Screenshot directory
/usr/local/stella/state - State save directory

If you are updating from the previous build, delete your stellarc file first!

Newly released for WIz

This is my first little Wiz program. It is a simple SDL_Joystick test. I made some GIMP graphics for it and added music to test SDL_Mixer as well.

Feel free to download it and check out the source. I hope anyone getting started with Wiz development or SDL might find this helpful.

Objects that are private and never changed don´t need to be volatile (changed to final) Lock was volatile when it doesn´t need to be (uses synchronized and never changed - thankfully).

r1307
wrong argument to String.format would cause a exeception if that branch was ever executed (put in the correct value)

r1306
make a constant final and close some unclosed file inputstreams.

r1305
Avoid possible overflow in int multiplication

PSPKVM Test Builds

There are currently a few ´unofficial´ or test builds up, for testing various features.

(Note: 0.5.4 test releases are in .tgz format--or gzipped tarballs. Notes on handling these, if you´re new to them, are here.)
0.5.5 Test 4 (Uploaded Jan. 1, 2010)

This release improves MP3 file duration calculation, and solves issues with long menus. The package is a ´bare eboot´ .zip, containing only the EBOOT.PBP (replace the one in our current 0.5.4 install or a previous 0.5.5 test build with it to add these features). The download is here.

Changes include:

* MP3 support XING header of VBR file format

* Fix problem of KDPlayer´s MP3 play time and duration issue

* Solves issues with long menus

* Fix bug of socket close, which makes BOLT fail to connect after using a while
