Dean Liou, the same fellow responsible for the ToiletPC and LovePC, has just concocted what's likely his most splendorous mod yet. The ArcadeDock Laptop Dock is a half-height arcade machine, complete with a flame job from a dark corner of 1994, a full-on joystick + large button splay and a secret cabinet for a touchpad-equipped keyboard. Put simply, this rig is designed to hold an IdeaPad Y560, and when plugged in and connected via USB, the controls you're peering at above function exactly as you'd expect them to. Toss on a couple of your favorite ROMs (Street Fighter II, anyone?), grab a Go-Gurt and settle in -- a demonstrative video is after the break, and feel free to tap that Lenovo link below if you'd like to vote this mod up above the competition.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...print-archive/
With the release of issue 7, the complete set of Maximum (issues 1-7) has now been digitised over at Out-of-Print Archive. The underrated (commercially, at least) multi-format magazine was published by EMAP from 1996 to 1997, was edited by Richard Leadbetter and covered the 32-bit era: Saturn, PlayStation, Neo Geo CD, Arcade, PC and 3D0.
With superb production values and incredible in-depth coverage of the top games (from six to 12 pages), Maximum was perhaps its own worst enemy. Because of these high standards set, deadlines couldn’t be met and issues would often be late, displeasing the suits in charge of EMAP. Also, matters weren’t helped with the revival of stable mate multi-format magazine C&VG, courtesy of Paul Davies and his able crew. The mid/late 90s was also a time when EMAP, the once great gaming magazine publisher of the UK, was moving away from the gaming scene, closing down or selling off under performing titles.
If you have never read or even heard of Maximum then now is the perfect time to catch up on a piece of forgotten gaming mag history. Issues 1-7 in all their re-mastered glory, courtesy of meppi, can be found at Out-of-Print Archive, with each release accompanied with four online articles (previews of the better articles from within the magazine). Check out the online articles, read up on the contents, download the full magazine release and enjoy.

Hi All,
Mancala is a board game familly, originated in East Africa. The word "Mancala" came from arabic word "naqalah" that means literaly "To move".
Dingux-Mancala is the "Awari" variant, and even if the rule of this game is simple, the complexity can be compared to chess Game.
The AI is based on the source code of H. Huseby & G.T. Lines, for their implementation of the classical Minimax algorithm.
The touch screen is supported, and there is a two players mode.
Thanks to Pedro De quintana for his help on Caanoo beta-testing !
How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.
Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license, read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.
How to play ? Here is the rules available from awari.cs.vu.nl :
Awari is played on a board where each player owns 6 pits. In the initial position, all pits are filled with four stones, thus the initial position has 48 stones.
The player to move chooses one of its own, nonempty pits and removes all stones from the pit. The player then sows the stones, counterclockwise, over the remaining pits.
If the last stone is sown into an enemy pit that contains 2 or 3 stones after sowing, the stones are captured.
In this case, if the second last pit is also an enemy pit that contains 2 or 3 stones, they are captured as well, and this process is repeated clockwise, until the own pit, or an enemy pit containing less than 2 or more than 3 stones is reached.
The player who captures most stones, wins the game. The game end when a player cannot move, however, to avoid such a situation early in the game, it is not allowed to do a move that leaves the opponent without countermove, unless all moves eradicate the opponent.
A binary version and the source code are available on my blog :
here
Enjoy,
Zx

In a move that will instantly conjure up memories of the infamous 3DO failure, Panasonic has once again decided to throw its hat into the gaming ring, unveiling an online-focused handheld called the Jungle. It features a high-resolution display, a D-pad, a touch pad, and a full mini-keyboard in addition to standard gaming shoulder buttons. Wireless support is a given, as Panasonic is talking heavily about the console's online features, but whether that's Wi-Fi or 3G remains unclear. M2 Research analyst Billy Pidgeon said, 'The Jungle is a highly specialized dedicated portable for a non-existent market. This is an unprecedented hardware strategy, and probably for good reason. If MMO players want to go more portable than a laptop, I guess this would be the way to go. Frankly, this looks like a non-starter.'"
An anonymous reader notes comments from NetDevil's Ryan Seabury, who thinks the decision to have the device run Linux is a mistake

Motion-sensing golf game controllers that appeared 20 years before the Nintendo Wii and the 1980s handheld console that operated on solar power are just two of the gems unearthed in this article about retro gaming secrets. Davey Winder has delved into his extensive personal collection of retro hardware to unveil the first handheld console to play '3D games' from 1983, the 'the most realistic "gun" game controller ever produced' from way back in 1972, and the device that offered multiplayer computerized Scrabble almost 30 years before the iPad.

From their website:
This is the official v0.1 release of the Brandish 4 English translation! Currently, only about 5% of the game is translated, though the game is completely reversed. We’re looking for translation help (see below).
Adoru is pretty busy, and we could really use some help in getting the translation out a little faster. DTagg has already produced the tools needed to translate the text and reinsert it, so we aren’t looking for anything more than someone who can speak moderate Japanese and who has a pains-taking attention to detail. If you’re interested, contact DTagg at j_karcsi@hotmail.com. Also, DTagg is pretty bad with html, css, php and the like, so if this site is bad enough that you’d like to help us improve it, email DTagg at the address above.
Finally, remember that the patch is right now more symbolic than practical–we expect to have a more thorough and refined patch on the way soon.
