The GCW Toolkit will soon be accompanied by a virtual device emulator

January 27th, 2013, 21:38 Posted By: wraggster

The GCW Toolkit will soon be accompanied by a virtual device emulator with the help of QEMU (http://wiki.qemu.org/). This feature has been requested before to allow for testing OpenDingux programs and games in an emulated MIPS environment. A preview can be seen at bottom of this update.
The plan is to bring support for audio and cpu emulation (no GPU acceleration is planned for now within the QEMU environment).

We would also like to announce two new games from PawByte will be available for the GCW Zero:
* Fields of Fresh (June 2013)
* PawByte Mafia (Chibifia) (July 2013)

Demos of both games should be available around March 2013. More information at PawByte website: http://www.pawbyte.com

GCW-Zero: Open Source Gaming Handheld - $200,000 and Counting

January 27th, 2013, 21:37 Posted By: wraggster

GCW-Zero the Open Source Gaming Handheld project on Kickstarter has now reached 200,000 Dollars with over a day left at this time, awesome news for the team and for us the Homebrew Community:

heres their latest post:

Thanks for your amazing support so far! With just under 48 hours remaining in our Kickstarter, we have a few exciting announcements for our backers! As you may already be aware, every Zero that ships will come pre-loaded with a selection of open-source and indie games hand picked by our team, and with the blessing of their authors. It's important to us that the Zero is fun right out of the box, and so today we're ready to officially add an exciting new name to the list of games that will come pre-installed on your new Zero.

Powder 117 using Akoi Meexx tileset (CC3.0-BY)
Some of you may have played POWDER, the excellent open-source rogue-like on other platforms. Originally created as a part of the GameBoy Advance home-brew scene, POWDER is the refined product of ten years of development, and its popularity has encouraged it to be ported to a wide variety of operating systems and devices. If you haven't played POWDER, it's a terrific hardcore roguelike in the tradition of games like Nethack, Crawl, Diablo (I & II), Moria, and Angband. It is a deep tactical experience, and it features a randomized dungeon each time you play.For a great description of POWDER, check out the developer's website at http://www.zincland.com/powder/
We have POWDER running on the Zero, and we are proud to have the developer's blessing to deliver it as a pre-installed game on the Zero. We think you'll love it.
POWDER joins Sqrxz3, Dink Smallwood, Puzzletube, SameGoo, Worship Vector, Spout, Astrolander, Blockrage, Biniax2, and Heroes on our current list of pre-loaded titles. Many other games will also be available at launch as easy-to-install downloads.
We also want to announce the first episode of our new video series, GCW Spotlight on Games. This is the first episode in what we hope will be an ongoing series of short videos, each shining the spotlight on an open source or indie game running on the Zero. In this first episode, we spotlight eduke32, the fantastic port of the Duke Nukem 3D engine. It features analog control, online multiplayer, and great performance on the Zero. It even supports mods! We hope you enjoy it. Hail to the King, Baby!

GCW-Zero: Open Source Gaming Handheld - Reached its Goal

January 24th, 2013, 13:31 Posted By: wraggster

News via http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...handheld/posts

I wanted to take this moment to THANK YOU ALL for supporting this great console!
Thank you from me and the whole GCW team. Your support means a lot to
us, as you took our dream and made it possible.

A question has been asked whether it is still possible to make a
pledge now that we have met the goal. And the answer is YES - you can.
The more pledges we get the more you are helping us.
For those of you that haven't heard of it yet - we have introduced
stretch goals, which means more goodies for everyone who pledge at or
above $135 if the stretch goal is reached.

Let's make $200K stretch goal a reality and launch this console with
all sorts of extras for everyone.
Once again a giant THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all you guys and gals!

GCW-Zero: Open Source Gaming Handheld - The New Ultimate Homebrew Console ?

January 17th, 2013, 13:44 Posted By: wraggster



Its been a while since ive seen a console that is as exciting as the GCW-Zero, this new console which is after support via the Kickstarter site has a wealth of talent supporting it, the main one from DCEmu perspective is Alekmaul who has posted and released many of his homebrew Games and emulators here at DCEmu.

The GCW Zero is a console that runs on Linux and is powered by a Ingenic JZ4770 1 GHz MIPS processor which means for Homebrewers like myself it should be capable of emulating old systems like Atari 2600, Nes, Snes, Megadrive up to systems like Playstation 1 and Nintendo 64 and most importantly at a speed where games are playable.

The Full specs are impressive with a decent graphics cpu, plenty of ram, loads of internal storage which can be massively added to with external memory cards. Heres the specs in full:

GCW-Zero joins fleet of new gaming hardware on Kickstarter

January 13th, 2013, 12:49 Posted By: wraggster

Open-source handheld using Linux to run classic PC and homebrew titles
A new open source gaming handheld project called GCW-Zero has joined the wealth of new technologies emerging from Kickstarter, aiming at a target of $130,000.
The device runs Linux and is focused on the homebrew and retro scenes, with the appeal's video showing the device playing versions of PC classics like Doom, Commander Keen and Descent.
"We live in a technological era where it is possible to place powerful gaming hardware that exceeds yesterday's PCs in the palm of your hand," reads the campaign page.
"Tablets and smart phones are just one example of this. Their touch screens have already revolutionized casual, portable gaming. However, many gamers would agree that they are in their true natural habitat when in direct control of that experience with physical buttons and a real d-pad or authentic analog control. The world just needed these two ideas combined into one package for the gaming community."
The Zero is ready to go into production now, with the Kickstarter funds intended to facilitate small batch manufacturing. 40 of the devices are already on their way to customers.

Microbes

January 9th, 2013, 14:13 Posted By: wraggster

_wb_ has posted an entry into the DragonBox Coding Competition:

For the 2012-2013 DragonBox coding compo, I'm going to participate with an improved version of Microbes. In this thread I'll document the new stuff as I'm adding it. The version on the repo is 0.8, but the latest release before the compo was 1.0rc2, which is available here: http://boards.openpa...140#entry189906

Compared to the 0.8 repo version, the 1.0rc2 didn't have that much really new stuff, it had mainly some bugfixes and minor improvements like better level previews in the main menu.

So what will be new in the compo version?

• Highscores! (local ones, no global highscores because it's impossible to prevent cheating and I don't want to make the game need an internet connection and set up a server and all that). For each level, you can get 1 to 5 stars, depending on the difficulty setting (5 stars for insane, 1 star for easy, no stars for very easy and trivial). If you don't use the "show paths" and "build while paused" options, it's called "advanced mode" and you get golden stars. Otherwise it's called "simple mode" and you get silver stars. You only get the stars if you complete the level (duh), but even if you don't complete it, you can get a highscore based on how many epidemics (waves) you survived. The highscore also records how many lives and how much energy you have left at the end, so even if you already have the gold stars, you can still try to improve your highscore. There is a new screen (in the "Information" submenu) to view your highscores, and the silver/gold stars are also shown in the main menu (in the level previews).

• Cool down time between epidemics: Previously the epidemics (waves) would keep coming one after another, so it felt like one long wave. Now there is some time between waves, depending on the difficulty setting. In "insane" nothing changes (no break between waves), in the other difficulties there is a waiting time (the harder, the less time), and in "trivial" and "very easy", the next wave only starts when all microbes from the current wave are killed. This makes "trivial" and "very easy" much easier, so to compensate these difficulty settings are made slightly harder than before (in terms of microbe HP/damage/speed scaling factors)

• Help screens: This is still work in progress, but some improvements have already been made. The help screen used to be just a list of the enemy microbes with their stats, and a very compact representation of the units tech tree (without any info, just the icons). Now the help screen will consist of several panels: one for the microbes, one for your own units (a scrollable list, showing detailed stats), and one to explain the game controls (Christoph.Krn has offered to help me with that one).

• "Mutated" microbes: There are 3 new microbes, which are "mutated" versions of existing microbes. Besides having better stats (more hp/dmg/speed), they are also "smarter": instead of taking simply the shortest path to the destination, they take a path that tries to avoid taking damage from your units. So they might take a significant detour if that means they get no or less damage. They also avoid poisoned terrain if they can. The mutated microbes are implement, but it's currently work in progress to make some new levels in which they occur.

• Replays: This is still work in progress. The idea is that at the end of a game (whether you lose or win) you can save a recording of the game. You can then replay the recording, with fast-forward and pause. The replay files are small files, stored in appdata so you can relatively easily share them with others.

[DragonBox Compo] P01: Trigger Happy

January 9th, 2013, 14:08 Posted By: wraggster

PMprog has posted an entry into the DragonBox Coding Competition:

I started writing this as part of the community game conversation that went on, but as nobody else was interested in C++, I placed it on the shelf of incomplete projects.

Anyway, with my inability to get a working Allegro 5 for the Pandora, I might dust this off, finish the P01 engine, and make the Trigger Happy game.

Here's a sample of the tech I got up to


The source code is open on my GitHub
https://github.com/pmprog/P01

Levels are defined in text files, so the engine can be extended beyond Trigger Happy

DragonBox Coding competition Announcement and Details

January 9th, 2013, 14:05 Posted By: wraggster

Over at the Openpandora Forums Evil Dragon has started a new coding competition for Open Consoles, heres his news:

Welcome to the DragonBox Coding competition - a competition aimed at OpenSource handhelds Pandora, GCW Zero, GPH Caanoo or GPH WIZ - but other systems can profit from it as well.

The competition will end on February 15th, 11:59pm, UST, so use the upcoming holidays to code, code and code />
You can either upload your entry whereever you like and send us a link afterwards or use our own FTP Server.
We will give you details about the eMail and FTP Server end of January in this thread.

The entries should be included in a way that makes it as easily as possible for the user to play it (i.e., for the Pandora, create a PND, for the Caanoo, include the INI-Files, etc.)
We like to encourage OpenSource entries - but you can also participate if you don't want to release your sourcecode.
OpenSource entries will simply get a little bonus when they win />

There are various categories each with its own prizes - you can enter as many entries you like in any of the categories.

The categories are:

* Application *
This can be any application you think might be useful.
A browser, Mediaplayer, PDA, Calculator, etc.
It can be port or something completely new.
It can also be a something like a port of a full OS distribution, ready to be installed on one or more of the above mentioned handhelds.

* Emulator *
This can be an improved version of an already existing emulator, a totally new emulator or a port of an existing emulator that didn't exist on any of the above mentioned handhelds yet.

* Original Game *
A game written by yourself (or a small team), either new or an improved version or port of a game you have written already.

* Ported Game *
A port of an already existing game that is either vastly improved from a previous port or didn't exist yet on any of the above mentioned handhelds.


Rules and guidelines:

1. It's totally fine if your entry has already been released for the system before December 1st, 2012, as long as your competition entry will be an improved version.
2. You can do public beta tests, if you like and get feedback to improve your entry until the deadline.
3. There's no need to include an annoying splash screen, but the competition logo has to be somewhere in the entry (corner of the title screen, credits screen, etc.) The competition logo will be made available later in this thread.
4. You have to include at least one compiled version that runs on one of the above mentioned handhelds. To make the game available to as many users as possible, it would be great if you could either release versions for as many systems as possible or release the sourcecode. In case you include your sourcecode and win a prize, you'll get a few bucks extra.
5. Judging will be done by selected members of the community and by the community itself (a poll here on the boards). The results of the selected jury and the community will be weighted 50/50 for the final result.


Here are the prizes:

1. A 200 EUR voucher for www.dragonbox.de (250 EUR if the source is released)
2. A 100 EUR voucher for www.dragonbox.de (150 EUR if the source is released)
3. A 64GB SDHC Card for www.dragonbox.de (+ 50 EUR voucher if the source is released)

Each category has these prizes (so that's 4x a 200 EUR voucher, 4x a 100 EUR voucher and 4x an SDHC Card).

Additionally, there will be community prize pots:
Community members can throw in money into the different categories as well.
The amount of money in these prize pots will be evenly shared.

Happy coding!


The Community Prize Pots

If you want to donate some money into a prize pot, please use PayPal to do so.

Send your amount to: donation@openpandora.org
IMPORTANT: When sending the money, include the category/categories in the comments field!

[PANDORA] Super Tirititran

December 9th, 2012, 23:44 Posted By: wraggster

This is my new port for Pandora...it's Super Tirititran by CaninoStudios

Is a classic shmup but ambiented on the city of Cadiz (in Spain).
Its a spanish game and spanish is the only language available for the game...
i have tried to change it but is a BIG work and don't have such time (and motivation), plus is not essential to play the game.

Warning : This game is very hungry about RAM, if you (like me) have a 256MB Pandora use the swap tools and enable a swapfile BEFORE run the game...otherwise tend to crash.
Maybe on 512MB ram Pandoras this is not a problem...

Keys are fixed and is not possible to change in game :
DPAD = move
Return = select options
A or B (button) = primary fire
X (button) = secondary fire
SPACE = access intercom (talk with other)
R (rear button) = access extra items
L (rear button) = choise selected item
P = Pause
S = take screenshot
ESC = Quit

Engeniux creates new Autonomous Game Console to compete with WiiU, OUYA and others

December 2nd, 2012, 19:32 Posted By: jvilla1983

A new start-up called EnGeniux announced its next generation autonomous game console called OTON. The OTON console is the first system to automatically create games without human programming. The OTON platform is an enormous technical leap forward for game consoles. The system will create games autonomously using its built-in Game Creation Engine. Based on either the system or end-user protocol requirements, the system can produce unlimited game content nonstop. The system will possess the ability to create over a quadrillion game levels, characters and physics configurations upon launch, a new benchmark current or future consoles cannot match.

The system's artificial intelligence will also challenge the most elite gamers in ways never imagined with special physics and in-game challenges. OTON gives gamers unlimited OTON exclusive quality games forever, for free, for life!

The OTON is the product of three years of hard work by Derrick Samuels and his staff, the same people behind the EVO Smart Console. The OTON will not only be able to play Linux and Android games, but will also be able to play games created by users in it's propriatory format. The hardware is based around an ARM Cortex A9 Quad Core 1.2GHZ CPU with 2GB of memory. One of the coolest aspects other than the technology and algorithms involved is that game developers can earn 100% revenue from their games and build basic games or demo levels for free by using the OTON platform.

The start-up is seeking to crowdsource fund the project at www.otonx.com.

[GPH] Pcsx Rearmed R17

November 29th, 2012, 15:11 Posted By: wraggster

After implementing some optimization ideas from pandora version here is Caanoo build:
http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/pcsxr/...r17_caanoo.zip

Although I haven't tested it much, there should be noticeable speed boost, Tekken3 looked a good deal more playable to me.

As usual Wiz version will come a bit later as it's more difficult to build (I can build Caanoo version with pandora toolchain, while Wiz needs special tools and my main PC is down at the moment, waiting for new motherboard).

Pandora News - Upgrades, a compo and a special game (2012-11-28)

November 28th, 2012, 14:45 Posted By: wraggster

Wooot - thanks a lot to all you upgraders out there.
You really managed to get me a lot more work - packing Pandoras like hell (but I like that. I'm happy for every customer who finally receives his unit!).

Over 40 upgrades have already shipped, another 60 or so will follow until the end of the week.
Good thing I'm getting 100 more units this week.

I'm pretty sure the boards will get more lively again once these units all arrive at their destinations.

Also, I've got some more good news for you:

It's finally time for another compo, held by my shop, the DragonBox.
I will post more information and rules as soon as I find some time to write them down, but here are some quick informations upfront:

• The compo will end at the end of January. This will give the full christmas holidays time for coding
• There will be various categories with prizes (ports, original games, emulators, etc.). So no port has to compete with an emulator or original game.
• The system can be ANYTHING open... (Dingoo, Caanoo, Pandora, etc.). However, the sourcecode has to be released at the end - after all, we're promoting OpenHandhelds here. You can still define your own license.
• Your entry doesn't have to be something new. It can also be an updated version of something already released. You can also release beta versions for public testing.
• Among the prizes will be vouchers for my shop, a Pandora, etc. I'll let you know. If anyone else also want to contribute something, that's possible as well (of course)

Well, that's just a quick info upfront. More soon, but you can already start coding if you like.

Speaking of coding, you probably remember the thread from a while ago about the RPG Days of Dawn.
Well, they just started their Kickstarter funding today!

What does this have to do with the Pandora, you might ask?
This is an actual picture from the developers running on the Pandora.
It currently runs on Android (as there's no Unity 4 out for Linux ARM), but even without optimizing, it ran really really well already and supports the controls and buttons out of the box (now someone tell me the Pandora is powerless )

That would be an awesome commercial game. An optimized Pandora port (maybe even with proper packaging on SD Card?) will most probably become a stretchgoal.
It might even be that you can get special Days-of-Dawn-Pandoras (airbrushed) for some pledge... but that's something Tassilo has to reply, I'm not sure what his plans are exactly.

I'd be very happy to see this game released - and playing it on the Pandora would be my favourite.

So much for a quick update.
Good times are ahead, with the Amiga Emulator getting better every day, Slackware being an awesome alternative full OS, more users getting their units and some more games and apps as well as a competition.

Okay, back to work for me (well, first a couple hours of sleep).

OpenBOR v3.0 Build 3732

November 26th, 2012, 14:11 Posted By: wraggster

The guys over at Lavalit have released a new version of the beats of rage clone for the Dreamcast, Dingoo, PSP, Linux, Windows, GP2x, Nintendo Wii and Wiz.

OpenBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]engine[/COLOR][/COLOR], which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.

In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.

Heres whats new:

r3732 | utunnels | 2012-11-24 18:21:42 -0500 (Sat, 24 Nov 2012) | 1 line
Changed paths:
