DOSBox 0.73 for Dingoo A320 and Ben Nanonote - Public Test

I've just released a public test version of DOSBox 0.73 for the Dingoo A320 and Ben Nanonote.
Whilst I initially did most of my testing with the A320 I ended up doing my testing primarily on the Nanonote which is perfect for this kind of emulator.

What I am saying is that if things don't work on the A320, let me know :-)

Anyway, here it is.

OpenJazz for the GP32

A new port of the latest version (r36) of OpenJazz for the GP32.
Everything should be working okay and it runs quite nicely with sound and music playing.
I've included the shareware version game, however if you have the full CD version, I recommend using this for the extra levels and music!

Giana's Return now on GP32

The DIngoo A320 version of Giana was pretty straight forward (except for a little SDL bug) but that got me thinking - how well would it run on the GP32? Well it required a little more effort but surprisingly the port was fairly straight forward.
And thanks to the GP32's very nice hardware, it runs very well indeed! Please check it out.

Stella 2.3.5 Optimized Build v1.0 for Dingux

I was playing around with Stella for Dingux - but was getting a bit annoyed with some little problems. The default keymaps weren't very good and the build seemed a little slow. Selecting some options also seemed to crash the emulator.
So I decided to build my own version and share it around. It plays all my favorites at nice speed.
Pitfall II works but you will need to overclock to 420Mhz and it's still slow. What a beast!

Big thanks to the Stella developers, it's really is a great emulator - all these screen shots were taken using the built-in snapshot grabber.

River Raid - best shooter. This screenshot taken with Phosphor mode one.

H.E.R.O. - my favorite.

Pitfall - amazing for it's time.

OpenTyrian v1.0 for the GP32

More love for the GP32.

This time the classic DOS arcade shooter Tyrian or in this case OpenTyrian.

The GP32 version mode runs fullspeed at 133Mhz but with out music.

Originally intended as an entry for the GP32 revival competition which never happened, this was something I always wanted to port across to the GP32. It's turned out rather nicely too - much better than I anticipated. There are separate FLU/BLU and BLU+ versions included in the binary package

I also have a Dingoo A320 port too. I know there already is an A320 version but I did my own version of it - which is faster and has a nice full screen display. This will be available shortly.

UPDATE: I've updated the Binary Package as I originally included a slightly out-of-date executable for the BLU+ version. The FLU/BLU version was correct. The BLU+ version is fixed in v1.01. You should download the Binary Package again if you are using the BLU+ version.
