[GP32] Quadtris

March 17th, 2014, 22:20 Posted By: wraggster

QuadTris is a puzzle game, playable on the GP32 console.
The game was created in less than 24 hours for the "speed coding" contest held at the retro computing convention AC 2011, the 16th and 17th April 2011 at "Congis sur Thérouanne" France.

The game won the first prize! \o/

Contest Rules: http://yaronet.com/posts.php?s=138950

Principle of the Game:
You have to match at least 4 blocks of the same color in a square or rectangle form.
For this you can rotate the blocks 4 by 4 using a cursor and the A button.
As the level increases, new colors appear as well as bonus and penalties.

Bonus:
-If you blow up a block with the "Bomb" symbol, all the blocks of the same color will explode.

Penalties:
-Some Leafs can appears on the board and interfere with your game.
-A block containing the "Lock" symbol will locks the rotation of the block.
-A block containing the "Arrow" symbol will reverse the rotation of the cursor.

This is the final version released in 2014:
-Now using the official GPSDK (provides only one FXE file for all GP32 consoles and emulators)
-Switched to 8bits graphic mode: The game is now seamlessly playable at 66mhz (the previous "party" version was running at 100mhz in 16bits and despite that, it had slowdowns)
-Added Title and Gameover screens + HiScore.
-The "leaves" particles now disappears smoothly.
-Removed the explosion particles that was ugly.
-Added music and sounds.

Enjoy GP32 in 2014 ! \o/

Hocoslamfy, GCW Zero homebrew update

March 10th, 2014, 23:35 Posted By: wraggster

via http://gbatemp.net/

Hocoslamfy is a cave flyer/flappy bird-like clone which was released for the GCW Zero. The current update brings the project that much closer to a completed game, by adding music, new graphics, and a high score feature. Please see the change log below for more information.

Change Log:

• previous code erroneously restricted the space between two obstacles to be in the middle half of the screen; this has been fixed;
• some erroneous collisions with the corner of the square containing the bee are now removed, making sure that only the circle hits;
• the obstacles are now bamboo shoots, drawn by hi-ban;
• there is now background music, but there are no sound effects yet -- the music is CC licensed, please see COPYRIGHT for more information;
• the game now has an icon in gmenu2x, thanks to hi-ban;
• there is now a high score feature, contributed by jxv;
• there is now a manual with controls, credits and information about the high score file.
• the bee now blinks every so often, because that's what bees do;
• the game over screen now refers to "flying too far away from the field" and "crashing into bamboo" instead of crashing into walls and objects.

GCW-Zero Updates

February 23rd, 2014, 22:27 Posted By: wraggster

60 units were shipped this week. The shipping process continues. Expect us to slowly catch up on e-mails and messages sent. Currently the focus lies on getting units out of the door, the extreme amount of messages sent is a full-time job on its own. We prefer to deal with the units first.
It was brought to my attention some people question whether the units were shipped via first class or priority international here is a snapshot with all private information removed of the stamps.com receipt.
Also more in-depth explanation of what LZ and other letters signify via USPS.com website.
http://hdusps.esecurecare.net/cgi-bi...ernationalMail


After dealing with a family emergency during the last few weeks, it has come to my attention that quite a few of you backers have been rather worried about the current status of the project.
I understand your anger and frustration, as this also weighs heavily upon me as the project creator and I want nothing more but to ensure everyone gets their console in their hands. I will start slowly with each question, as I think they were presented. Some of the topics I’m going to talk about might be understandable only for those of you who were following the project, however it is time to address them regardless.
Q. Why don't you talk more about the arcade located in Platte City?
A. I owned the arcade cabinets before the Kickstarter project and decided to move them there after my wife wanted to reclaim space in the garage. I had an empty spacious showroom for the GCW, where units are flashed and packaged, and agreed it was a great idea. I had always planned to do something like this eventually, so why not now as I had the space. All arcade cabinets were bought using personal funds I get from my daily job income.
Q. What is this about a fundable.com page for the GCW Zero?
A. The fundable.com page was intended to attract corporate funding to buy Atari when it was headed for bankruptcy. The campaign itself was canceled, but the page still remains.
Q. Where are the consoles? Are you doing this for the money?
A. It has been brought up that GCW LLC has been having money issues and that the consoles did not exist. The consoles do exist. I hope the included pictures put some of that anger to rest. From the pictures you can see some units are packed and ready to ship.
If this venture was just about money I would have started taking pre-orders right after the Kickstarter was funded for consoles next to the money we had already raised via Kickstarter (as seen with other Kickstarter projects). I decided to go the other route and try to ensure you guys got your pledges first.
That plan did not work as intended. Shipments to resellers were delayed, even though they had ordered units before the Kickstarter project started, and the ThinkGeek order which had to be filled once the contract date came of date. The ThinkGeek order was a separate production run paid for by them and not derived from Kickstarter funds.
Now, with these questions answered, the shipping of consoles will resume tonight and an effort will be made to communicate on a regular basis (this will include shipment information).

Alexkidd2X V0.6.2U Gp2X

February 6th, 2014, 14:34 Posted By: wraggster


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AlexKidd2X v0.6.2u
GP2X SMS/GG Emulator
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v0.6.2u (unofficial build by Nightbird):

- Gained about 20% to the maximum volume level (primarily done to correct the low volume in the
previous release when running on an F100. Note: Make sure 'Volume Limit' isn't switched on in
'System' if using pre v4.xx firmware).
- Rom CRC scan for the GoodSMS/GG database now requires you to press 'Select+Y' to scan instead of
just 'Select'. This was done to prevent accidental CRC scans as it can take up to 5 minutes to
CRC check a full romset.
- Some minor adjustments to the Rom CRC GoodSMS/GG internal database.
- Fixed the Remap Keys bug which would cause buttons 1 and 2 to be reversed.
- Removed Show/Hide FPS and Show/Hide Battery Level from 'Stick Click+Y' and 'Stick Click+X'
respectively to avoid accidently showing/hiding them during gameplay if you have remapped
your keys. You can still Show/Hide them using 'Select+Y'(FPS) and 'Select+X'(Battery Level).
- You now need to press 'Start+Select' in the Rom List rather than just 'Start' to exit the emulator.
- Dinobasher (Codemasters-Prototype) now works (Note: Run this game in Euro/PAL(50hz) mode otherwise
it will run too fast. Also, don't press pause during the game as it will freeze, requiring you
to exit back to the Rom List).
- S.S. Lucifer - Man Overboard (Game Gear) now works (Note: Run this game in Euro/PAL(50hz) mode
otherwise you will get a high level of screen flicker. Also, you can't see the rising sea level
which makes it hard to judge how much time you have at the first attempt in some levels).
- Separate binary for GP2X-F100 running firmware 4.xx to prevent battery level indicator bug.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See 'readme.txt' for additional info and keymap. Thanks to Israel Lopez Fernandez (Puck2099) for creating this Emulator.

2014 - a Sneak Peek! (2014-01-02)

January 14th, 2014, 12:04 Posted By: wraggster

via http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/...ek-2014-01-02/

The new year has started - and I hope it did start well for you.

A fresh new year, new plans, new possibilities.
What will happen in Pandora and Pyra-Land?

I can at least give you some information.


1. FOSDEM 2014

Yes, we'll be at the FOSDEM again this year (taking place 1st and 2nd February in Brussels)
We'll have a table and I'll have a small talk in the gaming dev room - Saturday evening, 6 - 7pm.
Of course, we'll have some Pandoras there and I'll also talk about the Pandora in the devroom.
However, we might also have some information or even previews of the Pyra there.
Askarus will be there Saturday and Sunday the full days, while I will be there Saturday 2pm to 7pm and the full Sunday.

You're very welcome to visit us and get more information about the Pandora / Pyra.
I'm also open for any interviews, in case some of you are bloggers or even writing for magazines.



2. Alive and Kicking Coding Competition

Looking at the current list of entries, we'll see some awesome releases for the Pandora!
Thanks a lot to all devs participiating - it shows how lively the Pandora scene is.
A bright future



3. Pandoras and Craigs remaining customers

Hopefully, we'll be able to fulfill many more of Craigs remaining orders, but we have no idea how many that'll be.
We're trying to do our best, but Pandora stock is limited now due to some parts needed for Pandora production that have seen the end of life quite a while ago.
However, any customer who still remains after the last Pandora has been sold will be able to get the Pyra for production costs - whenever it might be ready.
I don't want to forget anyone, so I'm trying to offer whatever I can.



4. More partly defective Classic Pandoras

We still got over 100 defective boards from CC and will now focus on finding out if they are still usable in some way.
They will all be at the Pandora-Section at the DragonBox Shop, so be sure to check it out every once in a while to see if there's one that is of interest to you.
They're all units with brand new cases (most of them had some small scratches from the very beginning though) and PCBs which have one or more issues.


5. The DragonBox Pyra

With the Pandora reaching the end of production, when will the Pyra be available?
We have no idea. And looking back at the Pandora developments, I will NOT give any estimations.
But we'll work on it. And you will be able to follow us with videos and pictures I'll post.
We'll probably start with that after the FOSDEM.

Thanks to all of you - quite a few good ideas from the community will find their ways into the Pyra.
And with a capable production company from the very beginning as well as a case company in Europe, things are looking a lot better.

It'll most probably still be a while until it's finished. So in case you're thinking about getting a Pandora or wait for the successor, I'd get a Pandora now - as stock is limited.


So much for a peek into 2014. If you have any further questions, let me know

Christmas, the past and the future (2013-12-24)

December 27th, 2013, 21:31 Posted By: wraggster

Well, it's christmas time and most of you here will probably spending some quiet days with their family.
I wish you all a very merry christmas - and as the end of the year is approaching, I'd like to look back into the past year and also a bit into the future.

1. Pandora - it was still a rollercoaster ride - with a happy ending

The first few months were awesome. Production was swiftly moving, everyone could get a Pandora from stock, I finally delivered the units to all my remaining preorder customers and even all 1GHz customers from Craig got their unit.

You think it's weird that Pandora production works flawlessly?
Sure, that's probably why we had issues with the LCDs for the next batch that was delivered in June.
440 LCDs, where half of them had dust below the touchscreen and a lot of those had calibration issues.
So 400 of those had to go back to be fixed... and that sure took a while, as the manufacturer needed to find out what went wrong.

So in August, we were running out of Pandoras because of that. We had a few older screens left, but you really couldn't call that "mass production" at all.
In September, we got 60 LCDs for testing - they were working fine on a quick test and all assembled into Pandoras and shipped...
Only to find out shortly after that those touchscreens autodestruct when you move the stylus at the edge of the screen.
Well, another two months until that issue is fixed...

And finally, in December, production has resumed and I've got 400 fully working screens!

So Pandoras are now back in stock, production is back to normal. Finally


2. Craig and his customers

That really was the saddest part of the whole Pandora story so far.
I can fully understand that Craig had a huge load of stress on his back, and it's sad to see where everything has gone.
But he really caused a mess, with the 1GHz preorders 2012 and also with the amount of remaining customers in 2013.

After I finally got the results of the survey Craig created for all remaining customers, it turned out that there are A LOT more customers left than there should. I still have no idea where that huge number comes from, but i don't even want to think about it.
It's more important to moved forward and help everyone here.

Wow, and it's really really awesome how helpful you all are!

While I can only offer Pandoras at production costs, you, the community, help out with donations as well.

So here is a little statistic:

• Customers who used the upgrade possibility so far: 92
• Number of Pandoras funded with the help of donations: 50 (36 have not used that voucher yet, they were probably waiting for the Pandoras to get back in stock)
• Total numbers of remaining customers from Craig (according to the survey): 445

So we're getting somewhere - let's continue to help everyone. Thanks for all your donations


3. Awesome software releases

2013 was a REALLY good year softwarewise.
Not only have huge quantities of new software been released for the Pandora, there also were some high quality releases - from all points of views.

Little but useful programs like MasterControl or the recent SixPair-Controller daemon, unique and useful applications like Streak's WIP PIM Manager, awesome emulator releases and updates (who would've thought we could get a fullspeed AGA Amiga, most-of-the time fullspeed Nintendo DS, and a very playable PSP emulator?) and also a lot of games, from ports for classic games like the Jedi Knight saga, to ports of Indie games and also completely new releases.

There's so much to do on the Pandora it won't get boring... I can barely keep up with playing everything I'd like to!



4. A peek into the Future

The Pandora sure still has a lot of potential. I'm pretty sure we'll still see a lot of new releases and updates.

But still, most of you already know I am working on a successor. More details will be revealed overtime.
I cannot tell when it will be finished - based on the whole Pandora story, you know how long that could take...
But let's hope it will be smoother run

In case you're wondering how this will be financed:
Well, you know I got money from investors for the remaining Pandora orders, right? That money will be back when all remaining Pandoras have been sold - and will then be used for the development of the successor.

I can fully fund the full design and production for both the unit and the case up to the final prototyping.
Only the mass production itself will need a lot more money than I have - but there are various possibilities to get that as well.
Maybe Kickstarter, maybe Preorders with part-payment, maybe something completely different.

Well, we'll see, but I'm sure we'll find a way to produce it once the prototype is running... but this could still be far, far away in the future.



5. Some special thanks

Well, finally, I'd like to give some special thanks.
Of course, a huge thanks to all the community and developers, as you keep everything going!

Special thanks goes to notaz - he helps both with low-level stuff and the OS. And he'll also be helping with the Pyra Also to skeezix and DJWillis - they might not have much time recently, but they're available when I really need them. And c4a is simply awesome

More special thanks go to Fatih. Many might've forgotten about him already, some have never heard of him. He's also one of the guys behind the Pandora - and he's still helping out a lot (e.g., he's the one sourcing stuff like the AC Adaptors or LCDs, and he's also the one who dealt with the chinese manufacturer to fix our LCDs). Yep, he's still helping out, even though most of you don't know this.

Of course, MWeston is not to be forgotten. He's the one who designed the Pandora PCB, and he still helps out each time I have some technical or manufacturing questions. Thanks - and I hope you really have a real awesome christmas time with your family!

Not to forget: Linux-SWAT, fantomid and p'tiSeb for taking care of the Tolouse Game Show and of course Link and ekianjo for distributing Pandoras in US and Japan as well.

There are many many more which I didn't mention by name here... my investors, the moderators, all the devs.

Well - we sure don't have to space here to mention them all. But I'm really happy to have such an awesome community backing me, helping as good as they can.
With guys like you, I KNOW the Pyra will be awesome, and even though it might be a hard way once again, I'm totally sure it'll be worth it!

Thanks - and all of you, have a very merry christmas, and a happy new year!

MAME4ALL v1.0 for Dingoo A380

December 27th, 2013, 21:24 Posted By: wraggster

Some time ago a forum member named 'retrodd' donated an A380 to me on the promise that I would deliver a version of MAME4ALL for this nice little handheld. Well at long last, here it is!

I'm happy to announce v1.0 of MAME4ALL for the Dingoo A380!

What is MAME4ALL (MAME)?

MAME is Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator - basically it emulates arcade games from the 70's, 80s and 90s.

MAME4ALL for the A380 is based on my Dingoo A320 Native version of MAME4ALL and includes all fixes and updates from that release. This version also contains some extra enhancements and new games playable.

The mame.dge launches the MAME4ALL game selector.
Use mame_vm.dge also has extra commands to setup and use a 64MB swapfile for extra large games - recommended with all "larger" games. ie. Neo Geo.

Status Update December 2nd, 2013

December 10th, 2013, 12:06 Posted By: wraggster

Only 533 units are left to ship. While the Asian, South American and Australian orders continued to ship, the European shipments had to be stalled in order to meet the CE requirements. We are happy to inform that they now meet all the necessary norms and shipments will be resumed.
A shortened version of the Quick Start Guide (English and German) will be included with all the units shipped from now on, along with the CE letter of conformity.
A number of concerns was raised over the recent supply of GCW Zero units being available via ThinkGeek reseller, before the KS units reaching European customers.
We would like to emphasize that we originally planned to be done with all Kickstarter orders before ThinkGeek received their shipment at 27th November.
Unfortunately the issues with the European customs set us back, while the shipment to ThinkGeek was already in progress.

The actual CE conformity letter is written and we should resume shipping Friday to all countries affected by the requirement.
On another not numerous people have e--mailed me about seeing visible scratches in the bezel screen this is actually one of two to three screen protectors that can be removed easily by taking your thumbnail lightly over the scratch and actually peeling up the screen protector.

OpenPandora is NOT dead!

November 23rd, 2013, 23:38 Posted By: wraggster

via http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/...a-is-not-dead/

Just thought I'd make a quick news post here in the official news section, as Craigs downfall of OpenPandora Ltd. is currently going through the news and to his remaining customers.

One important thing upfront:

OpenPandora Ltd. in UK is NOT OpenPandora GmbH in Germany

I am the owner of OpenPandora GmbH in Germany, and that company does not have ANY money issues or similar. All of my preorder customers have received their units quite a while ago and production is still running strong (though we're currently out of units until the next batch in December arrives).
And yes, a successor of the Pandora is being planned. And no, I cannot tell you when it will be ready (probably 2 months™ )


What does that mean for still waiting customer of OpenPandora Ltd.?

Not much. OP Ltd. has been unable to pay refunds for quite a while now.
The reason we created the survey was that OpenPandora GmbH and the community can help Craigs remaining preorders, regardless what happens with OpenPandora Ltd.
You will still be able to get the Pandora for a discounted price or with the help of the community donations.

BTW: My shop is now also accepting Bitcoins, and as they have risen significantly in value lately, it's a good way to get your upgrade in case you had bitcoins lying around for a while now.

So:
As long as there are Pandoras available, everyone of Craigs remaining customer can get them for production cost or lower (with community donations).


Well... that does lead us to another question:
When will the Pandora REALLY be dead?

We've only got a limited amount of parts, and some are already end of life so we can't buy anymore.
The production of the final Pandora batch has been started. There will be 500 more 1GHz and 150 more Rebirth units.
Well... and that's that. There will be a few more classics, but after that, production will most probably stop (unless we get a huge demand so it makes sense to change the PCB design to replace a few end-of-life parts...)


When all Pandoras have been sold - what happens to the remaining preorders?

No worries, the money will STILL not be lost.
Hopefully, most of the remaining Pandoras will go to Craigs remaining customers, but you never know.
In case there still are some left, then I'll move that discount over to the successor... even though I cannot tell you when it will be released.

ReGBA v1.45 (GBA emu for GCWZ)

November 23rd, 2013, 23:13 Posted By: wraggster

via http://pdroms.de/

ReGBA by Nebuleon is a Game Boy Advance emulator based ultimately on gpSP 0.9 by Exophase. You can also submit patches on GitHub.

Changes:


* Per-game settings. You can press Select in the menu and you can edit settings that are applied to only the currently-loaded game. For example, you may want to start only some games from the BIOS for compatibility (e.g. Sonic Advances) but start the rest from the cartridge, or full-screen most games and leave a few at the original pixels due to being text-heavy.
* Settings files are saved only when changing the settings inside a submenu. This causes fewer erase cycles to be used up on the internal flash storage of the GCW Zero and the Dingoo A320.
* A manual. You can see this manual on your GCW Zero by pressing Select on ReGBA in gmenu2x and activating the “Show manual of ReGBA” option. This manual is also on the GCW Zero Community Wiki: see ReGBA.
* A bug that caused a crash when entering the Display Settings menu on the Dingoo A320 has been fixed.
* When opposing directions of the GBA d-pad would both be pressed — that is, both Left and Right, or both Up and Down, whether by the GCW Zero’s d-pad or its analog nub –, Left and Up are ignored, respectively.
* Add a version information screen in the Main Menu’s Performance and Debugging submenu.

GCW News- Status Update November 22nd, 2013

November 23rd, 2013, 22:43 Posted By: wraggster

We are pleased to hear that with every hour passing more and more units sent to the USA and Canada get into the hands of their happy owners. With a growing community we hope to see an increase in the number of contributors to this open source project.
Not all went perfectly however. Due to our past issues with the fulfillment company, a number of units we have shipped this past month might have been mistakenly sent to customers who already received their consoles before.
Please get in touch with Justin Barwick via contact@gcw-zero.com if you mistakenly received your pledge rewards a second time. Arrangements will be made to return it and a mailing label will be provided at no cost to return it.
This should not impact the still pending shipments.

GCW News- Status Update November 21st, 2013

November 23rd, 2013, 22:42 Posted By: wraggster

We are glad to announce that all of the pledges within the United States and Canada have shipped as of yesterday.
The United States shipments are being handled via FedEx SmartPost, while Canadian packages are being shipped via USPS Priority International Mail. If you live in the United States, you should have received the tracking number in an e-mail from FedEx. In Canada, you should have received an e-mail from Stamps.com

Furthermore, all outstanding European and other overseas orders are packed and ready to ship. We are working towards having a declaration of conformity and all required documents in each package. This is a requirement for some European countries, like Germany, as reported by our Kickstarter backers.
For any questions or concerns about the shipment of your device, pledge rewards, please send an e-mail to contact@gcw-zero.com or write a private message to Justin Barwick on Kickstarter.
Finally, do not hesitate to join the IRC room (http://www.gcw-zero.com/irc) for real-time help with other enthusiasts and developers, or just for a nice chat.
For warranty service or replacement parts please send an e-mail to repairs.gcw@gmail.com
We should start shipping any requested replacement parts later this week and start making RMA's for repairs on December 1st, 2013.
