Dingoo A320 forum

Well i couldn't resist, formatted my mini sd card from my nokia N810 and followed the installation guide. It was pretty simple and didn't have any problems at all installing it !
anyway i tried to see if could get something running, and my waternet game from the gp2x ran with a little effort (i had to compile libsdl_mixer etc). Here's the youtube video :


i'm very sorry for the crap and shaky / dark quality , but it's past 3 am here, so i had to film it with crap lighting and a shoddy digital photo camera, i'll try to post a better video tommorow after work.
Also the sound is not working, because i don't have time to figure out what codec the damn camera used for it's audio. (i wanna go to bed now hehe). Anyway Sound does work in the game and it will take little effort to get everything running (i had disabled text because i didn't compile libSDL_ttf yet and something went wrong when compiling libsdlmixer, because ogg music isn't working for some reason, but i'll figure it out probably tommorow)

take it as a little teaser

Booboo or someone else that knows :

how are the keys mapped out in sdl for the dingoo ?

i could have a look at the source tommorow but it saves me some time when i come home if someone knows it like this.

also is it normal that my sound quality is a bit bad on the device using sdl_mixer ? it's playing wav files. although i didn't had time to test enough with it perhaps i have to use a diffrent format than the default one.

my second to last question about the SDL_NOMOUSE=1 would it work if i used the putenv function before initing sdl ? (most of these i can figure out myself but just it could help if you'd know them like that, saves me the hassle)

and finally something the future will probably tell, how would one use the system i mean will games be compiled on the system itself with some packaging system or would that be overkill ? if not we should all be using the same toolchain and libs most probably unless we compile staticly (like we used to do on the gp2x). What do you suggest about this ?

Wow, that´s awesome!
Thanks for coding through the night, joyrider!

Just press the buttons and you'll see the keys

It should work.

Code: Select all

putenv("SDL_NOMOUSE=1");

Also

Code: Select all

system("export SDL_NOMOUSE=1");

Good work fella, good to see your efforts actually working on the Dingoo. Keep up the good work

Unfortunatly i need sdl_gfx as well for the game. btw did you compile sdl_mixer with ogg support ? i have recompiled mine but can't seem to get ogg support working.

I almost got all the key mappings just have to get the select button although the power button didn't seem to register a keypress.

well the video is a no go, seems the camera doesn't have a microphone so i can't record audio (that's why it's clicking all the time and the quality is way too bad to see anything decent)

but anyway here are the keysym values for sdl on linux :

Code: Select all

#define DINGOO_BUTTON_UP            273
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_DOWN          274
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_RIGHT         275
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_LEFT          276
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_R             122
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_L             97
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_A             100
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_B             99
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_X             115
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_Y             120
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_SELECT        32
#define DINGOO_BUTTON_START         13


the putenv function works, so people can do that before the init sdl function

ok guys, it's fully working now (including the music and skin system).

here's a new video that should explain how the game will be played :

I'll see that i can make a binary release soon so that people can just put it on any root file system and play it.
