What is OpenDingux?

OpenDingux is a Linux-based embedded operating system for MIPS processors, designed primarily for portable game consoles. it's designed to have low latency and minimal overhead for very high responsiveness.

What packages does OpenDingux use?

OpenDingux uses the OPK package format, which is a compressed file containing software which is mounted to the system, making installed software difficult to break through accidental deletions. Any OPK file stored in /media/data/apps will automatically "install" itself. Removing the file from that directory "uninstalls" the program. Note that files in /media/data/apps can't gerally be overwritten in-place.

What about IPKs?

You're thinking RetroFW. OpenDingux doesn't use IPKs, though much of the same software for RetroFW is also re-packaged as OPKs for OpenDingux.

What hardware runs OpenDingux?

• The GCW Zero, now discontinued.
• The Anbernic RG-350
• The Bittboy PocketGo 2
• The GKD350h (predicted, not confirmed).
• Several others

How can I manage packages on my OpenDingux machine?

There are actually several ways to do this:

1. Simply move files between /media/data/apps and your external SD card
2. Use the GCW Zero manager software on your PC (someone really needs to change the name to OpenDingux Manager)
3. Follow the instructions on the Connecting from your PC page
