Dingoo A320

No Amiga emulator?

Nope. I mentioned that already the C64 emulator struggles sometimes.

Couldn't get Megadrive or NEO-GEO working, it wouldn't recognise the roms I had. Haven't looked into that further.

The NeoGeo ROMs have to be converted into .mvs files, otherwise they don't run.

MegaDrive games have to be in .smd format. If you have .bin files, just rename them, and they will run, no conversion needed.

Sounds like a great little device from your initial testing and review. Very tempting to buy one, especially at that price, but I then think of the PSP and the fact it can run SNES and Megadrive games perfectly at full speed without problems, and has emulators more all of the systems you mentioned and most work well. So I will probably not bother and stick with the PSP for mobile gaming for now.

Ok, but the battery of the Dingoo lasts for 7-8 hours, at that point the PSP already died, just imagine you being in a plane. And how big are the memory cards for the PSP, what's the maximum size? And it's 5 times lighter, you can put it in the front pocket of your jeans, it's like having a mobile phone. I totally agree with you and the PSP, but as a mobile device I think the Dingoo has more advantages, it's really mobile.

Emulators will still be updated, and there's more to come in the future. And for a third of the price of the PSP, you can't go wrong.

How about Frontier on the Dingoo:

That is a good point if you do a lot of travelling. I generally don't so it isn't such a problem. As for battery life, I've managed to get my PSP lasting up to 10 hours on a full charge as I run games and emulation all from memory cards so it isn't draining the battery accessing UMD discs.

I think with the latest custom firmwares you can now use 8GB Memory sticks. At the moment I have a couple of 4GB Memory sticks which can fit a lot of software and roms on them and are more than enough for my current needs.

I now added 4170 Spectrum and 445 MSX 1&2 ROMs. There will be hell of a lot of ROMs on that little sucker in the end

[Harrison]

And yet you probably still won't play any of them!

Much like me with my emulation system and PSP. Both are heavily loaded up with emulators and roms, but I always seem to boot up and play the same games...

[Demon Cleaner]

Added 4290 C64 games and 1520 Atari ST games.

Together I have now 17.919 games installed, without counting CPS1, CPS2 and NeoGeo, I still have to test and convert these to see which ones I will put onto it.

Yes, I figured this out before I left for that job I've been on the past weeks. I installed only a select few titles I thought I'd actually be playing and took the system with me. Not that I'd have much spare time to use it, but had a couple of hours in the evenings if me and my colleague wasn't doing anything else. Also, was great to pass the time on the plane with it. Played a couple of arcade beat'em-ups, me and my mate passing it between eachother every other credit.

The rooms we had had old 19" CRT TVs in them, with a scart connector on the back. Had to get a longer cable for it, but otherwise hooking the unit up to those TVs worked fine, so spent many an evening playing SNES RPGs before going to bed.

Have still to test the TV out yet.

Btw, I got my black Dingoo today, now starting to install Dingux. I will use the 8GB card I still have for this one, won't buy another 16GB, they're still too expensive, got one from eBay, really cheap, for 36€ with shipping. In the shops here in Luxembourg they're still above 50€.
