During the past couple of weeks I have focused on getting the GCW-Zero port zerox86 of my emulator running. I have not worked much on rpix86, although I have done some small preliminary work for additional hardware support. I plan to look into supporting GPIO access and possibly USB-parallel port device access. I haven't yet finished either code, so I have no new version to release yet. I plan to still continue working on the zerox86 a bit further before getting back to enhancing rpix86 as well.

Just a quick information:
I got the results of the survey.
Everyone who chose to upgrade for 270 EUR will get an eMail real soon as well as the first ones who selected to get it for 200 EUR.
If you haven't gotten your survey link email although you tried to contact Craig, you can also let me know your details.
In that case, send me a PM with your order number and address and choose what you would like:
* A 1GHz RIGHT away (for 270 EUR)
* A 1GHz (for 200 EUR), would be the next ones to get it.
* A 1GHz (for 150 EUR), they come after the 200 EUR ones
* A 1GHz (for 100 EUR), they come after the 150 EUR ones.
* A Rebirth (without any payment), though this might take a while
* A CC unit (without any payment), should happen faster as well

Global Components just received a prototype for the TV Out Cables!
I'm going to pick it up today and will do a lot of testing with it.
If it works fine, it's finally time to go ahead and start the mass production (takes about 2 months - yes, REALLY  ))
Remember: If you're interesting in getting one, please put yourself on the waiting list on the shop:
https://www.dragonbo...-out-cable.html
This helps me to find out how many cables I need to order and you'll also receive an eMail as soon as the cable is finished.
(If you already preordered right from the beginning, no need to do that, we got your order already).
Now, about already preordered cables:
I'm currently trying to ship out the cables to everyone who has preordered and paid one without any further costs (means: to both mine and Craigs customers).
However, Craig has over 500 customers waiting for a TV Out cable, which means it'll cost me a couple of thousand euro to ship them out.
I'm trying to compensate this, if everything works out fine, you'll all get them without any further payments.
But I cannot tell for sure if this works. In worst case, I'll have to charge production and shipping costs for you - but will give you a corresponding voucher for my shop as compensation.
So i.e. if I have to charge 10 EUR for the TV Out Cable, you'll get a 10 EUR voucher and could use that to order an SD Card cheaper together with it).
I'll let you all know in time

As you saw from the video below from Qbert we do indeed have a test version of the kernel and bootloader running that recognizes 512MB. Qbert is testing the unit now and the developers will use this test to optimize and clean up the code on the bootloader and kernel. I would say just a couple days and the SE models will start to be flashed and ship soon to be followed by the KickStarter.

During the past week I have not worked much on rpix86, as I got my new GCW Zero "engineering sample" game console. I began porting my DSTwo version to that device, and that has taken pretty much all of my free time for the past week. I plan to continue working on this during the following week as well, so my work on rpix86 is on a small break until I get something running in the GCW0 as well.
Working on GCW Zero is interesting because it uses a processor that has a MIPS32r2 architecture. This Release 2 version of the architecture brings a couple of very powerful and useful new opcodes to the MIPS ASM language, namely EXT and INS. I can use these new opcodes in quite a few places in my code to speed up the emulation, so I am very interested to see how fast zerox86 (current working name of the project) will run on the device.
I began my porting project by first porting my unit test program. I then began changing the code to use the new EXT and INS opcodes where possible. After a few changes I run the unit test program to make sure I don't break anything, and then continue making the changes. Since I use the unit test program from the special 386-enabled DSx386 version, I have also needed to fix some incompatibilities between the unit test program and my old DS2x86 sources. The current status is that opcodes 0x00..0x0E work fine, and I am working on the 386-specific 0x0F group opcodes, mainly fixing those incompatibilities.

 Virgin Media doles out many minutes and data to mobile users with its Premiere plan, but it hasn't had a truly unlimited option for those who don't want to even think about their calling habits. It's assuaging those minds today with new VIP tiers that offer unlimited domestic voice, data and text messaging. The exact perks depend on the level of commitment, however. Traditional customers can pay £26 per month (£31 if they're not already Virgin customers) with promises of unlimited calls to frequently costly 08 numbers. For SIM-only customers, it's all about the price -- while they don't get the 08 number exception, the £15 they pay per month for otherwise unlimited access is comparatively cheap. The new rates may not always make sense depending on local coverage and a desire for LTE, but we'd at least keep them in mind.

The promise of OpenMobile's Application Compatibility Layer is enticing: seamlessly run Android apps on another operating system as if it was meant to be there. Unfortunately for fans of Palm's last hurrah, the project's webOS port died with the HP Touchpad. That won't stop dedicated fans, however -- Phoenix International Communications plans to resurrect webOS ACL. Taking the project to Kickstarter, the team is showing an early build on an HP Touchpad, seamlessly running Android apps in cards alongside native webOS applications. Phoenix hopes that a functional ACL will reduce Touchpad owner's reliance on dual-booting Android, giving them the freedom to enjoy webOS without sacrificing functionality. The team is promising a relatively short development time, thanks to OpenMobile's early work, and hopes to deliver a consumer ready build in July. But first the Kickstarter campaign will need to meet its $35,000 goal. Interested in pitching in? Check out the Kickstarter link at the source.

This is a reimplementation of Metal Slug. Enough said go grab it now!
Quote
What we have here is a project of the talented programmer Clément CORDE, Slug Mini, in its version for OpenDingux. Unlike Airball, the Mini Slug is not a remake, but rather a kind of reimplementation using sprites and sounds ripped from some of the games in the series, but the stages are totally new and difficult .

OpenDingux Build by Shin-NiL
Controls
* D-Pad - Move
* A Button - Shoot
* B Button - Jump
* X Button - Grenade
* Y Button (at name entry only) - alternate characters
* L Shoulder (at menu only) - alternate number of credits

Checkout this classic-megaman-style-game.

Hellow freinds, after a long time, I have the pleasure to announce a new version of the classic-megaman-style-game, Rockbot for Dingux. This version is a big improvement over previous beta, and should be finishable from start without major issues.
Get here http://rockbot.upperland.net/?p=782 and if you find any relevant problems, please tell me.
About a native version: the native SDK support to C++ is really poor, so, unless it chances (any clues?), I won't be able to port it for native, sadly :-(

Pate posted this news:
Last week I also got contacted by the people behind the new gaming console Game Consoles Worldwide Zero, or GCW-Zero for short. They would like me to port my x86 emulator also to their new device, and this is something that I find quite interesting. The device is powered by an Ingenic JZ4770 CPU running at 1GHz, so it is quite a bit more powerful than the 360MHz JZ4740 that is in the DSTwo flash cart for which I developed the DS2x86 version of my emulator. However, both of those processors use the MIPS32 architecture, so it should be relatively easy for me to port my DS2x86 code (which is 95% MIPS32 ASM) over to work on GCW-Zero.
I have already done some preliminary porting tests, and there are some issues that I need to solve to be able to run my emulator under an operating system, but these issues are reasonably similar to what I had to do when porting DSx86 over to rpix86. What this means, though, is that it looks like my finishing my Android port will get pushed back, as I am currently more interested in working on GCW-Zero than on my continuing the ax86 version. But who knows, possibly I can use some new features (that are coded in C language) in both of them!

2 new updates from the GCW Zero Team:
I won't know till tonight if the did ship from China or not as we are a day behind China and about 10PM central time is when I talk with them either way as always I will keep everyone posted...
Once the shipment arrives they will all be flashed and Quality Conrol/Assurance will be done on them a mass shipment will goto Europe with all European orders and shipping will commence as soon as they arrive there.
Progress still on kernel for 512MB Issue and USB OTG. File Copy System Tool making progress and work will start on system OS update portion of this tool.
The units left by courier to Hong Kong to catch there flight to America turn around from there to here is usually 3 to 5 days. As for customs delay I have no clue never had a shipment this big come into the states.

Developers are still working hard on the kernel for 512MB issue and USB OTG.
We will have some new video footage in the next couple of days which will totally blow your minds games wise.
As always working with factory to insure we hit our date with production and working on new licensing deals to bring the biggest library of software we can to The GCW-Zero.
