Dingoo A320 forum

Hi,

I compiled joyrider’s Dingoo port of GNUBoy with booboo’s latest toolchain.
Made some simple changes to the default key mappings in main.c.
Switched the B and A buttons and mapped X and L buttons to save and load state which works.
The in-game saves work as before.

The Dingoo GNUBoy keys are:

B=B
A=A
X=Save State
L=Load State
R=Quit

I have not tested the save states extensively so back up your SD in case something goes wrong.

Before trying this you should back up your current game saves located in:

/local/home/.gnuboy/saves/Your Rom Names.sav

This version should work with previous in-game saves.


PS: Special thanks to joyrider for posting the updated source code.

HI

Go to see its still being worked on.

Have you looked at fixing the screen size? - far too small to be worthwhile at the moment.

Good speed though!

Great ! I could not understand before why the A and B buttons were swaped. The only missing feature would be a nice screen resize option now.

A ingame menue like the nativ ones would be nice.

I'll wait until it can be played fullscreen.

oh! thanks for the update, man!

Save states rules on portable device..

Great update, I'll have to give this a try!
like people seem to agree, a menu with save/load state, screen size options, exit, reset, load rom, button-config etc would really make gnuboy a lot more FUNctional.

I only changed a few default bind statements in the main.c file of the source code and compiled the program.

I made no changes to the source code besides assigning Dingoo keys [buttons] to existing functions including save/load state.

The hardest part was installing Ubuntu for the first time and setting up the toolchain.
I never installed or really used desktop Linux before this.

I am no programmer. I just wanted to switch the buttons so I gave it a try.

The video scaling takes place in the sdl.c file in the sys\ folder of the source code.
It uses integer values for scaling so the only possible scaling factors are 1,2,etc.
Gambeboy resolution of 160x144 doubled 320x288 is taller than the Dingoo’s 320x240.

Tried scale factor 2 and the larger image is misaligned and wraps around the screen.

Adding a menu is beyond my current skill level but not impossible to learn.

Take a look at the source code and maybe we all can come up with something.
