Dingoo A320 forum

Hi all,

I tried the goomba way for the legacy gameboy, and it works like a charm. I then tried the same with the gameboy color (with goomba color), but most games don't work properly. Can someone please make a decent port to the native os? The already available gbc.sim is kind of annoying with the sound thing and all..

Thanks!

It doesn't work like that. Emulating hardware is not something any programmer can do, as it requires a lot of knowledge, time and dedication. You can't just ask people to code an emulator in just a few days or week, unless you pay them. And even then, I'm sure it would take at least some months.

The correct question would have been: is anyone working on a GBC emulator for the native OS? I doubt that, since all the efforts right now are converging on Dingux and porting Linux emulators to this distribution. Linux is highly portable, modular, open and well documented. The native OS on the Dingoo is proprietary and undocumented, and it seems the manufacturer has no intention to open it. Obviously, reverse engineering it to code an emulator to replace the built-in one is much more difficult and time consuming than porting existing Linux GBC emulators to Dingux.

So have patience and, if you can afford, donate some money to the open projects that spawned around the Dingoo.

Cheers.

That's a lie.

The native development is not dying, even if you wish it to.

The French scene is developing only for Native OS, and Alexmaul want to port his DS emulators to Dingoo OS. And there some new games, so, the development for native OS is not dying.

It will with the day dingux is be able to run on the NAND

There is really no need for fighting. We will see what future brings. For the moment, dingux is a perfect addition to the native OS and new programs for both operating systems are appreciated.
For what I can say, the dingoo-developer-community isn't that big, so we shouldn't fight each other. In the end, Linux will probably win, but that might be long after dingoo isn't shipping any more. This little device is already far more then I would expect from a 80$ pmp, so everything else is bonus (I'd be happy with just picodrive )

dudes.. entire source code bases are available for gb+gbc, it's just a matter of compiling. nothing to do with reverse engineering.. if sdlgnuboy wprks in linux, it should also work in native env. i hope someone ports it because i hate the 1000 different keymappings in linux programs. long live the dingoo and dngux, but let the dingux part get mature first.

oh well... there's the architecture thing, u can't simply compile anything to dingux without check the details

Here is a gameboy emulator: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/din ... ,0,0,71,70
It´s not great, but it works. Didn´t test with GBC games, only Super Mario Land. ^^

i know this one. sound is crap like i told in my first post.

i guess i'll try downloading the gnuboy sources and the native sdk and se what it gives
