GAMEBOX Neo Geo: Last Resort

Shoot ‘em up action now with this great Neo Geo Shmup. Before i attempt playing the new Deathsmiles game, i thought i’d ease into it by playing some older classics.

Turns out i need a bit more pratice!

The Gamebox gbx-1001 – a review

It is a linux based device (kinda like a Dingoo) running a dual core 500Mhz CPU and only costs about 48 USD. Almost too good to be true right?

Well not really if you look at the price per game!
I am actually quite impressed with it despite a couple of flaws. The controller is actually quite nice. There’s no way to run other games than the ones installed on it though. Even though the manual sort of hints at Gameboy advance games through some sort of Gameboy Advcance-like cartridge.

There is a MicroSD slot but I have yet to try that out.

Booboo buys a Gamebox

http://dingoo-scene.blogspot.com/

has some great news for the gamebox

Well everyone, it’s early days yet, and he has plenty to do, so there are no promises or anything like that, but these comments and response on Booboo’s Dingux blog are good news in my book:

Chui said… ¡ANIMO! Can I help you on anything? I am impatient for porting DCaSTaway, UAE4ALL and PSX4ALL. Btw, Some people are trying to hack GameBox/ArcadeBox: http://www.gamebox.hk/ It has a JZ4755 CPU, I suppose that it is a MIPS similar to Dingoo-A320. Are you interested about port Dingux to GameBox when it can flash an alternative firmware? CHUI.  March 1, 2011 11:38 AM   booboo said… @Chui Just purchased one from DX. Let’s have a look at it…  March 1, 2011 12:24 PM

Capcom Shin_akuma said:

I Researched about NAND, Wii, Xbox 360 and Other consoles Have a unique key for the console, Without You Can not read it nand Without memory errors, and Others do These Programs made to correct errors, i try downloading this and i see a very limited use.

So I did my Programs, I made two, if the first byte compare Are Same three files on 2 of 3 this is considered validated, and Create a file Theoretically That Would Not Have the errors, after I made this a more complex reading is 5 files the byte is equal to 3 or more it is considered validated, if you make 5 of the memory dump to use this program, will generate a new file save it, do it 4 more times, check mds / crc this five, if two Are copies or more equal nand this a perfect copy, if none is equal to 5 in five try run program, one time you will get a perfect copy, the Difference between the 3 files That Are 5, 3 is less Accurate Are But Which Is faster for less gbs to read and write.

Are command-line program

Version 3 files
comparefiles.exe
Version 5 files
comparefiles.exe

I tested with a 350MB file, i made 5 copys, open with hexeditor, i replace files with zeros Each on one part, first in offset 400, second in offset in offset 072713328.3 270597216.5 175507968.4 in offset in offset 356601696 .
After this one closed windows make this file everytime i selected this rsrsrsr
After i run my program, this 5 defected chosse files, and this one good output file, after i run mds fsum and original video is equal to this Are perfect copy.

This take 5 ~ 6 hours with my computer and 350MB, 2GB files here is about one hour, this will depend pc memory, pc cpu, and hd, my pc is a pentium 4 3GHZ, 768MB DDR1 400mhz, and hd is sansumg 500GB Increase hds old will much time.

Files in megaupload
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NLZKYJJ0
No error only 10k Are small programs.

This has led to ….

First, get two gigs correctly read, and then learn how to record them back without error. And then we can build whatever we want.

For now, reading is becoming difficult. Ovan and Utopian , look at a comparison of the end of the file RES.BIN both have sent me. They are the last rocibidos for both, and we all thought that would be great, but …..

As shown in the image, the end of both is different. Al ovan, missing a few bytes that leads Utopian: What is good?

A pity, because we are near, but not successful. ECC failure of all all, and read a few bytes of more or less continuously.

Edit: I get the feeling that they are the ECC bytes, which one has read as RAW (without control of ECC) and one with it enabled. Ovan think that of ECC is enabled, it simply fills the void left by the ECC and calculated as zeros. In contrast, the Utopian is read as RAW (as it exits the NAND) without ECC and therefore appear porópios ECC data. Interestingly, in all that I get false readings, always puts me error “OobSize 0xDA ECC error” and is 218 0xDA (Besides, I usually accompanies a “Status 0xB” or “0×8″ that are 11 and 8 (ECC could they be?)

Therefore, I conclude that the OobSize IS 224 (as illustrated in the NAND PDF), but 218, as shown on pages 61 and 62 of the NAND. If you have read with other values, you could try with the 218, to see such.

 

 

Well done so far to all hackers and people involved , hopefully this info can help someone in opening the gamebox up some more

GAMEBOX Neo Geo: SVC Chaos SNK vs Capcom

Subscribe to RiddlerOnYutube he is holding down the gamebox vids

“I play SNK’s SVC Chaos on the Gamebox. It plays really well and looks pretty good, so not a bad result for the Gamebox.

Anothe Neo Geo AES port which whilst not as good as Garou in my opinion. Judge for yourself how it plays.”

Portuguese Gamebox Review

O aparelho, possui 60 jogos previamente instalados… sendo possível apenas rodar jogos de

GBA por enquanto!

Ele suporta Videos no formato Avi e legendas Srt e Sub!

Algums jogos possuem a sua velocidade alterada… algums para mais outros para menos, não

alterando o fator “Replay” dos jogos!

EpicFail

O Joystick não é usb! Parece ser uma entrada chamada KeyMax, pelo que eu pesquisei no forum

da DX e no Google! O pior é que a DX, não vende o controle separado, e ainda não sabemos

como hackear ou fazer funcionar um outro controle no mesmo; por enquanto o que parecia ser

para 4 jogadores, fica sendo apenas para 1 jogador!

OBS:. Não permite rodar outros tipos de roms no cartão microsd a não ser as de gba.

Bem, por U$53.50 não se pode reclamar muito! pelomenos temos um tocador de Avi, com jogos

de GBA, podendo funcionar pela entrada de cartucho ou por roms & 60 jogos de arcades na tv!

(com direito a algums clássicos)

Espectativas

Pode ser que no futuro, alguem consiga Hackear a entrada lateral de mini usb para instalar

um linux ou algum outro S.O para que possamos rodar realmente os jogos de mame, neogeo e

cps 1,2,3

More News on Gamebox Dumps

“In test area a couple of people who have managed to connect the Gamebox PC and download the contents of the flash, but still have a problem in the dumps (some bits will not tip well) so it looks like it that soon it may load a different firmware on the console, I hope you continue it for one of them to experiment both the console is loaded.”
