How to Install 2D and 3D Games from USB in Pandora 3D with .Xml File How to install 2D and 3D Games from USB in Pandora 3D With .xml file This guide explains how to install new games from USB. When you insert the USB with the specific structure folder, the system launches the apk GameInstaller.apk and copies game files into internal sdcard. It adds the games to the database too. You must have free space on the sdcard to install games. Put the file “/mcgames/install.txt” in the root folder of the usb with a list of games to install, each game in a row. The file must be in UTF-8 encoding. The name of the game is the primary key of the database (cannot be repeated) and you must create a folder with the same name into /mcgames/ for each game. For each folder, you have to add the desired game and create a xml file with the properties of the game. The name of the xml has to be the same than the name of the folder. For each game, you can add a mp4 video in the same folder, with the name of the game ending with .mp4 The content of the game.xml is: <game emulator="12"> <information> <description>Super mario world 2</description> <genre>5</genre> </information> <file> <rom name="smw2yi.smc"/> </file> <translation> <string language="en"> <name>Super mario world 2</name> </string> </translation> <config> <load_time>0</load_time> <free_play>1</free_play> <save_state>1</save_state> <start_directly>1</start_directly> </config> </game> Where emulator is the emulator_type of the game This is the list of Emulators supported: NAME EMULATOR_TYPE FOLDER EXT DESC Final Burn Alpha 0 fba42 .zip "FBA_SDL_main", 0.2.97.42 Modified by "FBA_compatible" Moorechip Final Burn Alpha Version1 fba42 .zip "FBA_SDL_main", 0.2.97.42 "FBA42_opt" Multiple Arcade Machine2 mame37 .zip "android_main", Emulator Version 0.37b" "mame4all" Multiple Arcade Machine3 mame139 .zip "android_main", Emulator Version 0.139u1 "mame4roid" Multiple Arcade Machine4 mame78 .zip "FBA_SDL_main", Emulator Version 0.78 "MAME78" Final Burn Alpha Version5 fba42 .zip "FBA_SDL_main", 0.2.97.42 Optimized by "FBA42_opt" Michael PPSSPP Version 1.7.1 6 family .iso PS 7 family ".bin", ".img" Mupen64 Plus 8 family ".n64", ".z64" com.snkplaymore.kof2019 family 2a Final Burn Alpha Version10 fba42 .zip "FBA_SDL_main", 0.2.97.42 Family Version "FBA42_opt" libretro_fceumm 11 FC ".fds", ".nes", ".unf", retro_arch_main ".unif" libretro_snex9 12 SFC ".smc", ".sfc", ".swc", retro_arch_main ".fig", ".bs" libretro_gpsp 13 GBA ".gba", ".bin", ".agb", "game_boy_main", ".gbz" "game_boy" libretro_tgbdual 14 GBC ".gb", ".gbc", ".sgb" retro_arch_main libretro_genesis 15 MD ".mdx", ".md", ".smd", retro_arch_main ".gen", ".bin", ".cue", ".iso", ".chd", ".sms", ".gg", ".sg" libretro_wswan 16 WSC ".ws", ".wsc", ".pc2" retro_arch_main libretro_pce 17 PCE ".pce", ".cue", ".ccd", retro_arch_main ".chd" libretro_reicast 18 DC ".chd", ".cdi", ".iso", ".elf",retro_arch_main ".cue", ".gdi", ".lst", ".bin", ".dat", ".zip",".7z" Multiple Arcade Machine19 mame19 .zip "mame19_main", Emulator Version mame "android_mame19" 19 Multiple Arcade Machine20 mame139 .zip "retro_arch_main", Emulator Version mame "RETRO_ARCH" 139 retro Description is the display name of the game.

  • Retrocomputing As Preservation and Remix
    Retrocomputing as Preservation and Remix Yuri Takhteyev Quinn DuPont University of Toronto University of Toronto [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper looks at the world of retrocomputing, a constellation of largely non-professional practices involving old computing technology. Retrocomputing includes many activities that can be seen as constituting “preservation.” At the same time, it is often transformative, producing assemblages that “remix” fragments from the past with newer elements or joining together historic components that were never combined before. While such “remix” may seem to undermine preservation, it allows for fragments of computing history to be reintegrated into a living, ongoing practice, contributing to preservation in a broader sense. The seemingly unorganized nature of retrocomputing assemblages also provides space for alternative “situated knowledges” and histories of computing, which can sometimes be quite sophisticated. Recognizing such alternative epistemologies paves the way for alternative approaches to preservation. Keywords: retrocomputing, software preservation, remix Recovering #popsource In late March of 2012 Jordan Mechner received a shipment from his father, a box full of old floppies. Among them was a 3.5 inch disk labelled: “Prince of Persia / Source Code (Apple) / ©1989 Jordan Mechner (Original).” Mechner’s announcement of this find on his blog the next day took the world of nerds by storm.1 Prince of Persia, a game that Mechner single-handedly developed in the late 1980s, revolutionized computer games when it came out due to its surprisingly realistic representation of human movement. After being ported to DOS and Apple’s Mac OS in the early 1990s the game sold 2 million copies (Pham, 2001).

  • Playing Your Favorite Arcade Games in MAME at Home Is a Lot of Fun, but What Happens When You're Forced to Leave the House?
    Playing your favorite arcade games in MAME at home is a lot of fun, but what happens when you’re forced to leave the house? (Hey, it happens.) If your friends and relatives are tired of you reconfiguring their computers and installing MAME every time you visit, or your boss has your workstation locked down so you can’t install any new software, what you need is a bootable MAME CD. Bootable MAME CDs allow you to boot computers from a CD directly into MAME. An operating system (usually a flavor of Linux), MAME, and all your game ROMs are contained directly on the disc, so the computer’s hard drive is never even accessed. While several flavors of these MAME Boot CDs such as (XMAME and KnoppiXMAME) have been created and are freely available for download via the Internet, the best and most complete solution is a package called AdvanceCD, named so because it also includes AdvanceMAME and the frontend AdvanceMENU. Getting AdvanceCD to work could not be simpler. First, users need to download the installation files from the official AdvanceCD website (http://advancemame.sourceforge.net), Once the files have been downloaded and unzipped, users can copy their MAME ROMs of choice to the proper directory. The custom Linux kernal used in AdvanceCD takes up around 20mb of space, so that will leave you approximately 680mb of room for your games on a standard 80 minute CD-R. If that’s not enough space for you, AdvanceCD also supports DVD-Rs and USB devices! Once you’ve copied over the ROMs you wish to include on your image, all you need to do is run the included utilities to create a bootable CD image (both Linux scripts and DOS batch files are included to create the bootable ISO).

  • Turbografx-16 Games
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 350–364 Original Study John Aycock*, Andrew Reinhard, Carl Therrien A Tale of Two CDs: Archaeological Analysis of Full-Motion Video Formats in Two PC Engine/ TurboGrafx-16 Games https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0022 Received March 18, 2019; accepted July 16, 2019 Abstract: As an example of how the archaeology of modern/contemporary media can be conducted, we examine the technology behind artifacts with cultural relevance in modern society: video games. In particular, we look at two game artifacts from the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a game console produced from 1987–1994. A 1× CD-ROM drive could be added on to the console, with a corresponding increase in the amount of data a game could access, and some games took advantage of this capability to include full-motion video (FMV). This digital excavation report details the FMV formats of two such games along with the methodology used to reverse engineer the formats and verify the correctness of the analysis. Keywords: video games, CD-ROM, digital media, full-motion video, reverse engineering 1 Introduction Domestic video game entertainment in the 1980s developed into two distinct digital enclaves. Console gaming was seen as a novel and cheap way to bring the arcade into anyone’s living room, while personal computers were typically less competent to translate the frenetic action of popular arcade titles. Part of the attraction exerted by the more expensive personal computers came from the versatility and affordability of the preferred storage medium (magnetic cassette tapes or diskettes, versus the expensive ROM chips used for consoles).

  • Python Tutorial Python Tutorial I the First Python Program: Hello.Py Syntax Based Types Strongly Type Language Strings
    Python Tutorial by OSOE Project. Details Python Tutorial I Details The First Python Program: hello.py Details Writing a script in Python to output “Hello World” on the screen can be as simple as 1,2,3. When, writing a Python program, it is useful to write it in a text editor and then save it with a .py extension. In python, there are three differents types of files ; the files with .py extension are the Python script files, the files ending .pyc represent the compiled files and the ones with .pyo extension represent the optimized byte code files. Usually, most people produce the .py files and the system handles the rest. #!/usr/bin/python invocation tells the Operating System that the Python intepreter is needed to execute this file. It is also important to change the executions rights by using the commands chmod +x hello.py. This command will now make the hello.py an executable file. Afterwards, ./hello.py automatically invokes the python interpreter which reads and interpretes the hello.py file. Unlike other languages, it is possible to write a simple python program with any variables or function definitions just type in the keyword print followed by the expression you want to print and then run your program. Syntax Details The syntax of a python code is pretty straightforward. Generally, the syntax consists of #!/usr/bin/python invocation followed by a list of statements. These statements can be of different kinds: variables declarations, function declarations, control flow statements, loops, etc. In Python, whenever a file is read, all the statements are executed contrary to other languages like C or Java where they only compiled.
