jlpotocki’s updates yinlips YDPG18 review

jlpotocki from our YDPG18 forum has updated his review of this device to include emulator performance (Great work, jlpotocki - I’ll just repost the whole 1st and second part so it’s all in one place):

Okay I am going to break this review into 3 parts.  Part one is Specs, Battery Life, and what file formats I could use.  Part 2 is Emulation and Android Game performance.  Part 3 How am I getting the most out of it and final conclusions.  I plan to have it all complete by 2-21-12.  Right now I am spending most of my time right now getting ready to buy a car due to some ex-friends wrecking my other one.  My Goal for this year is to buy All the android gaming systems out there then testing them to see which one is the best in overall Value, Performance, and most importantly which one will give you the most bang for your buck.  because spending $100+ on anything you need to know was that money well spent.  At this time there are 3 main systems Yinlips YDPG18  (two versions right now three in a few months from now.) Avg. Price $135   (the future upgraded model $160) JXD S7100       (two versions one with Captive Screen  one with Resistive Screen) Avg. Price $150 (resistive screen)  $175 (captive screen) JXD S601         (The cheapest of them all though it Resolution is that of a PSP) Avg. Price $86 I have heard of some other ones but these stores that carry these "other brands" look sketchy at best So until I see them in more respectable stores I declaring these as the only ones around. Now at this time I am NOT declaring this as the Upgraded model I am going to refer this model I got as a updated model, and I plan on ordering another one and hopefully it'll be the original model. First I will go and talk about the specs of this model I got: Phone Model: Crane_E001 (allwinner) CPU: Allwinner Sun4i (A9 class*)   *=now the CPU code name is for there A10, but this is not a A10 tough due to the fact that a A10 use a ARMv8 instruction set and this is using a ARMv7 instruction set.   RAM: 512 Total System memory 315 MB System RAM and 197 System Storage (for OS files.)  I still can not find out if it's DDR2 or DDR3 without opening up the system. Internal storage: 3GB (2.7GB actual storage) GPU Mali-400 Screen: 5" Resistive Screen  800x480 It is a resistive screen that can do 2 point zoom but no true multi touch so it is pointless on games, but helpful on web browsing. OS Android 2.3.4 (Code name: Gingerbread) The analog stick and D-Pad on this device do not work independently.  oh well Battery:  Unknown (at least without opening the system which I will not do until I by another one or if this one goes out.) Now I need to point out some things about this system: Market installed without a hitch.  I found out when I tried to run z4root that the system was already rooted.  Now Market has a issue tough.  anytime I go some areas of market (mostly apks that you have to pay for) the market will crash.  to bypass this just buy it from your computer then when you connect the Yinlips to wifi it'll install without a hitch.  Also due to it being listed as Crane_E001 there are a lot of programs that will not install from market due to them saying (unknown compatibility) even though after finding there apk on the internet and manually installing it.  the program worked beautifully or at least had a quirk or two.  oh and the games that I stated in the video as not being on the system were just simply not installed and were in the apk folder of the 4GB Micro SD card that that came with the system plus there were a lot more software available as well.  Now I waited to write this review until after I get a larger SD card so when I got a 16GB San Disk card. Now the First Test was on battery life: now in this test WIFI is always with Equalizer running in background on I'll update this review with WIFI always off and no running background program running later Battery: 10 hours Music playing with 30 minutes of display on to change albums (MP3 OGG and FLAC files were used in testing) Gaming with brightness at full  5 hours.  (except Plants vs. Zombies, GTA 3, and FPSE there time was 3.5)  now with emulation no matter the system exception the FSPE do not put much of a strain on the battery which is good.  I can even play angry birds for five hours with no problem for that long.  this is the same amount of time compare to my PSP Slim (with Custom Pro B-10 firmware)  So not too shabby I must say. Video:   5 hours 320p 4 hours on 480p (DVD quality) 3~3.5 hours HD 720p quality 2.5 hours 1080p All depends on what codecs the file was encoded in. In a nutshell these are still good compare to the "Big Game Companies"  and of course you can charge this by USB or Wall Mount.  when I finish the entire review I will add the times with out the wifi or background programs running. File Playback types allowed: Music: APE, FLAC**, MP3, OGG, WAV, MP4, WMA **= Some FLAC files I had actually caused the system to crash and reset itself.  So if you use FLAC make sure it's dose not have a single bit of corruption. this happened in every single music player apk I installed and even the one that came preinstalled. Video:  AVI, RM, MP4, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MOV, MKV*** ***= MKV will not work with software out of the box.  I could only get it to work with MXplayer through Software decoding only and will not work with HD quality MKVs and even some 480p quality depends on codecs that were used in the file. One other thing about playing HD files I had Audio Sync trouble when using other Media player except for Meridian or the one that came with the system.  I actually prefer for this system the Meridian due to the fast forward and rewind control of the D-Pad without causing the onscreen menu to come up (that was always so freaking annoying especially cause you have to wait so long to get the blasted menu to go away and the fact that it has a resistive screen  it's really hard to go and skip just 30 sec. without jumping too far or to short.   okay enough ranting back to the review. FLASH: SWF through browser or install SWF player.  FLV 240p to 480p through browser up to 1080p through Media Player that is installed  the highest Flash version that I got to work was ver. 10.3 or earlier even though Flash 11 is preinstalled on the system. Part 2 Emulator performance: Well one thing I'll note the more programs you have running in the background the more you'll have slowdowns and/or sound glitches.  I also want to thank my friends that provided me with there copies of some emulators due to me focusing on getting things of greater necessitates like a new used car for example. Now with this updated model I received has updated versions of the emulators that are provided on the original,  but most of them just ended up getting deleted like Gensoid, NESoid, TigerArcade, and SNESoid. (henceforth there not worth reviewing) I will delete GBCoid when I obtain GBC.EMU.  The main reason is it will not save settings nor will not let me change ROM directories this makes starting a game time consuming.  Also EMUs like Gensoid and TigerArcade had way too many graphic glitches.  One in particular TigerArcade would crash or even cause the system to randomly reset the system.  Well with that said this is what I currently am using *= came preinstalled with system originally MD.EMU             $3.99 Emulates: Sega Master System (Mark III,)  Game Gear, Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) PCE.EMU             $3.99 Emulates: PC Engine (Turbo Graphix-16 aka Turbo DUO,)  PC Engine CD-ROM, Super Graphix NES.EMU             $3.99 Emulates:  Nintendo Entertainment System (Famicom,) and Famicom Disk System Droid2600             $free Emulates: Atari 2600 MSX.EMU            $3.99 Emulates: MSX (up to turbo R,)  Colecovision N64roid*  (version 2.6) Emulates: Nintendo 64 GBAroid* Emulates: Gameboy Advance GBCroid*   (I will uninstall this ASAP) Emulates: Gameboy and Gameboy Color MAME4ALL         $free over 2000 arcade machines from late 70's to late 90's C64roid                  $free Emulates:  Commodore 64 UAE4Droid            $Free Emulates:  Commodore Amiga SNES9X EX            $free Emulates: SNES (Super Famicom) FSPE* Emulates:  Sony PlayStation One Now the following EMUs work Best with the Analog stick: Driod2600 (no issues at all) MAME4ALL (most games will work some though will give you trouble mostly Fighting games) N64roid  (some minor issues) FSPE  (some minor issues) The others work best with D-Pad EMULATOR REVIEWS   (I'll add more later) Name: MD.EMU  price $3.99 (U.S.) File Types: GG, SMS, SMD, BIN  (will not work with GEN, but just change file extension from GEN to SMD and it'll work fine)   This is the best emu that I could find even though it comes at a price of $3.99, but there are no graphic nor audio glitches so there is not be much to go on it's just simply the best out there.  The only thing that it did not get a 10 out of 10 was the lack of GEN file support so I had to spend a good amount of time changing my file types.  Now I can not wait until there is Sega CD support that'll be freaken sweet. Speed:                    10 out of 10 Sound:                    10 out of 10 Graphics:                 10 out of 10 File Compatibility:        9 out of 10 Ease of use:             10 out of 10 Overall Rating             9 out of 10 Name:  PCE.EMU  price $3.99 (U.S.) The only PC Engine (Turbo Graphix 16) available.  It'll also work with SuperGraphix and PCE CD-ROM files as well.  The Speed, Sound, and Graphics quality is flawless.  Now the Down side is the game compatibility issues.  I will play every game as long as you get the proper dump of the ROM.   While most work with the original dump some game require a alternative dump  for those that are not familler with Alt. Dumps I'll give a example who are new at this: MEGA_GAME.PCE    ------------- Does not work MEGA_GAME [B0] [!].PCE ----- Freezes at title MEGA_GAME [A0].PCE ---------Fully Playable So the original may not work, but one of the Alt Dumped ROMs does so you just keep the one that works and delete the rest.  This is why the rating goes down quite a bit due to time your going to spend finding the correct dump version of your favorite game.  Now once you have it all set up it'll run great. Speed:                     10 out of 10 Sound:                     10 out of 10 Graphics:                  10 out of 10 File Compatibility:         5 out of 10     (using trial and error to find all the working ROMs was a major hassle.) Ease of use:                7* out of 10   (*=this is still to getting everything setup once set up it' be 10 of 10) Overall Rating              6 out of 10 Name: Droid2600   Price  Free Perfect Atari 2600 emulation, and extreamely easy to use just set up ROM directories and key mapping and your all set. The menu screen is also nice as well.  Oh it's best to use the analog stick to maneuver the D-Pad can be a tad of a hassle for some games.  Oh you will have to google for it do to it not being in market at this time. Speed:                      10 out of 10 Sound:                     10 out of 10 Graphics:                  10 out of 10 File Compatibility:       10 out of 10 Ease of use:              10 out of 10 Overall Rating            10 out of 10 Name: NES.EMU           Price $3.99 Perfect emulation, and easy to use just set up ROM directories (be sure for Famicom Disk System use that you have the  FDS Bios,) and then set up the key mapping and your all set. I have yet to find any fault at this time. Speed:                        10 out of 10 Sound:                       10 out of 10 Graphics:                   10 out of 10 File Compatibility:    10 out of 10 Ease of use:               10 out of 10 Overall Rating           10 out of 10 N64roid  ver. 2.6   (preinstalled and never updated) Okay this is what came with the system.  I tried the others but this one worked the best.  Now it's not perfect, but compared to the others this one has the best speed, sound, compatibility, and have the less graphic glitches (very few so far.)  Now sound quality is good, but does have glitches and slowdowns.  It's still very playable So do not uninstall this one, because it's the best your going to get from a N64 emulator at this time. Speed:                           8 out of 10 Sound:                          8 out of 10 Graphics:                      9 out of 10 File Compatibility:       8 out of 10 Ease of use:                  8 out of 10 Overall Rating              8 out of 10 SNES9x EX.EMU           Price FREE Perfect emulation, and easy to use just set up ROM directories , and then set up the key mapping and your all set. I have yet to find any fault at this time.  You will have to go to author's website for this one due to being pulled from market Speed:                        10 out of 10 Sound:                       10 out of 10 Graphics:                   10 out of 10 File Compatibility:    10 out of 10 Ease of use:               10 out of 10 Overall Rating           10 out of 10 MAME4ALL                Price  FREE The best of the Android MAMEs that are out there.  Three issues 1. Finding proper ROM sets  (took me some time to find them) 2. they don't make it easy to set up Alt ROM directories. 3.  Sound is glitches from time to time.  best to have it in Mono sound rather than stereo for some games (particularly ones that use samples.)  once you get all set up it'll run fine. Speed:                     10 out of 10 Sound:                       9 out of 10 Graphics:                  10 out of 10 File Compatibility:       10 out of 10 Ease of use:               7 out of 10  (the setup is the reason for the lowered score) Overall Rating             8 out of 10 I actually had more reviews of other emulators, but due to a virus attack I lost all but this part.  So I will continue to work on the rest I'll post some that were supposed to have been good but really sucked.  Since I got a good mini HDMI cable I will make a Video showing all the emulators I am using and some of the others that did not work well (if I did not delete them from my system) off of my 42" TV . That is all of part one and two......   my final update will be on 2-24-12 (I am still sick... turns out it's the flu, and not allergies)

SanmoriaP’s YDPG18 Android 2.3 Review

PocketSnes v.2.3.1

PocketSnes v.2.3.1 February 19, 2012, 10:49:18 AM by jagotu flpstrquerendoumdingoo!!! took another emulator and improved it! Though, it's starting to be a little messy with the snes emulators and their respective file formats... Anybody to do a nice little table? Quote PocketSnes v.2.3.1 notes: Based on the source of GottaX v.2.2.1. Created a new format called. PKS. PocketSnes.sim only open files .Pks, not to subscribe to .Sfc (DingooSnes) and .Smc. Added support for .Pks in Pocketsnes.app. New cflags for optimization. Clock is initially configured to 400mhz. Tests on pocketsnes v.2.3.1 vs DingooSnes 1:39 in Final Fantasy V brought up to 5 fps more than DingooSnes in hardware mode. Included: Comes with pocketsnes.sim to .Pks.

Shadowfire’s JXD S601 Review

Shadowfire shares his frank views on the JXD s601:

I've received the S601 and here are my impressions. This is in the perspective of a retro game player. 1. The DPAD, is, unfortunately, the weakest link in this package.  It is actually 2 pieces (UP/LEFT, DOWN/RIGHT), and allows you to simultaneously press DOWN and UP (and LEFT and RIGHT).  Also, the buttons are spaced further apart than in the JXD5000 - which is pretty bad for a dpad which isn't a single piece.  I'm giving the D-pad a 4/10 here.  The shoulder buttons are loud but provide excellend tactile feedback, and seem to be microswitches, as are the four option buttons.  The d-pad and 4 primary buttons are the rubber-dome type.  Of the 3 units I own, the Dingoo A380 has the best dpad. 2. Based on the photograph posted here earlier, the nub hardware really is 100% analog.  That picture shows a resistive track layout, with a voltage sensing line. It almost certainly gets fed into an ADC on the board.  How the driver exposes it to the OS may be another issue entirely, though. 3. USB, video, and headphone connectors come out on the top of the unit instead of the bottom.  This is a +1 for intelligent layout. 4. Like the JXD5000, only 1 speaker.  Like the JXD5000, loud enough for most purposes.  I have an A380 and stereo output doesn't mean a whole lot without headphones on a portable like this.  No points docked, but no points added. 5. The touchscreen is resistive.  There is no stylus included with the unit.  It's good for a resistive touch screen.  I didn't buy this to play Android games on anyways, and it functions acceptably for launching and utilizing the emulators.  If you really want to play touchscreen games, this is NOT the unit for you, look for a capacitive unit. 6. The screen resolution is odd, but ideal for running emulators of older systems.  Screen brightness shifts on vertical rotation.  Looking straight down at the unit produces an acceptable display.  Even holding this unit vertically, the display is tons better than the Dingoo A380, although not as nice as the JXD5000.  The screen is recessed, which will help prevent scratching. 7. The stock emulators work very well with the games that are included.  Which are (as usual) almost all chinese.  Frameskipping and limiting seems to be working fine.  It includes a disc which I assume is a DVD with more chinese games on it.  I tossed the DVD out, rooted the unit, and installed the Android Marketplace.  You can surely use the stock UI (the included menu program will automatically take snapshots of the screen when you exit the emulator if no screenshots exist) if you just want to use the included emulators.  It comes stock with NES, GENESIS, N64, FBA, and some android games.  TigerMAME (which seems to be a port of FBA) works 100x better than MAME4ALL on the Dingoo A380, and works better than FBA on the DA380. 8. QC seems a little lax, the power LED on my unit doesn't light up.  The right shoulder button needed to be worn in before reliably registering (and I fear for its longevity because of this). The JXD S601 gets an 8 out of 10 overall for retrogaming. The software and underlying hardware are finally up to the task of emulating the older consoles. The screen quality is very good for displaying those old games. The unit size is a compromise between the DA380 (which is really portable) and the JXD5000 (which with a 5" screen you need a rather large pocket to tote it around).  The JXD5000 is hands-down a better portable movie player due to screen size, resolution, and display quality. Rooting the unit, and enabling wifi allows you to use and SMD client to download ROM images directly from a network share.  The speed wasn't outstanding (pulling around 750K/s when using AndSMB to download stuff), but it was convenient.  The USB -> SD card implementation is finicky (seems to take half a minute or more for the drives to mount), so I recommend using an SD reader on your PC to put images on your card if you have to transfer a lot of files. It would be a 10/10 retrogaming unit if they would put a good DPAD on it instead of what we have here.  Even the JXD5000 had a 1-piece DPAD which although not the best, was certainly acceptable (and would have brought this unti up to a 9/10).

JXD S601 – Sonic video

Smoooooooth:

Beatle’s N64Oid v2.6.2 in action on JXD 7100

jlpotocki’s Upgraded Yinlips YDPG-18 (A10 Chip) Review

jlpotocki has written Part 1 of his upgraded YDPG18 review (with more to come in the days to come!):

Okay I am going to break this review into 3 parts.  Part one is Specs, Battery Life, and what file formats I could use.  Part 2 is Emulation and Android Game performance.  Part 3 How am I getting the most out of it and final conclusions.  I plan to have it all complete by 2-21-12.  Right now I am spending most of my time right now getting ready to buy a car due to some ex-friends wrecking my other one.  My Goal for this year is to buy All the android gaming systems out there then testing them to see which one is the best in overall Value, Performance, and most importantly which one will give you the most bang for your buck.  because spending $100+ on anything you need to know was that money well spent.  At this time there are 3 main systems Yinlips YDPG18  (two versions right now three in a few months from now.) Avg. Price $135   (the future upgraded model $160) JXD S7100       (two versions one with Captive Screen  one with Resistive Screen) Avg. Price $150 (resistive screen)  $175 (captive screen) JXD S601         (The cheapest of them all though it Resolution is that of a PSP) Avg. Price $86 I have heard of some other ones but these stores that carry these "other brands" look sketchy at best So until I see them in more respectable stores I declaring these as the only ones around. Now at this time I am NOT declaring this as the Upgraded model I am going to refer this model I got as a updated model, and I plan on ordering another one and hopefully it'll be the original model. First I will go and talk about the specs of this model I got: Phone Model: Crane_E001 (allwinner) CPU: Allwinner Sun4i (A9 class*)   *=now the CPU code name is for there A10, but this is not a A10 tough due to the fact that a A10 use a ARMv8 instruction set and this is using a ARMv7 instruction set.   RAM: 512 Total System memory 315 MB System RAM and 197 System Storage (for OS files.)  I still can not find out if it's DDR2 or DDR3 without opening up the system. Internal storage: 3GB (2.7GB actual storage) GPU Mali-400 Screen: 5" Resistive Screen  800x480 It is a resistive screen that can do 2 point zoom but no true multi touch so it is pointless on games, but helpful on web browsing. OS Android 2.3.4 (Code name: Gingerbread) The analog stick and D-Pad on this device do not work independently.  oh well Battery:  Unknown (at least without opening the system which I will not do until I by another one or if this one goes out.) Now I need to point out some things about this system: Market installed without a hitch.  I found out when I tried to run z4root that the system was already rooted.  Now Market has a issue tough.  anytime I go some areas of market (mostly apks that you have to pay for) the market will crash.  to bypass this just buy it from your computer then when you connect the Yinlips to wifi it'll install without a hitch.  Also due to it being listed as Crane_E001 there are a lot of programs that will not install from market due to them saying (unknown compatibility) even though after finding there apk on the internet and manually installing it.  the program worked beautifully or at least had a quirk or two.  oh and the games that I stated in the video as not being on the system were just simply not installed and were in the apk folder of the 4GB Micro SD card that that came with the system plus there were a lot more software available as well.  Now I waited to write this review until after I get a larger SD card so when I got a 16GB San Disk card. Now the First Test was on battery life: now in this test WIFI is always with Equalizer running in background on I'll update this review with WIFI always off and no running background program running later Battery: 10 hours Music playing with 30 minutes of display on to change albums (MP3 OGG and FLAC files were used in testing) Gaming with brightness at full  5 hours.  (except Plants vs. Zombies, GTA 3, and FPSE there time was 3.5)  now with emulation no matter the system exception the FSPE do not put much of a strain on the battery which is good.  I can even play angry birds for five hours with no problem for that long.  this is the same amount of time compare to my PSP Slim (with Custom Pro B-10 firmware)  So not too shabby I must say. Video:   5 hours 320p 4 hours on 480p (DVD quality) 3~3.5 hours HD 720p quality 2.5 hours 1080p All depends on what codecs the file was encoded in. In a nutshell these are still good compare to the "Big Game Companies"  and of course you can charge this by USB or Wall Mount.  when I finish the entire review I will add the times with out the wifi or background programs running. File Playback types allowed: Music: APE, FLAC**, MP3, OGG, WAV, MP4, WMA **= Some FLAC files I had actually caused the system to crash and reset itself.  So if you use FLAC make sure it's dose not have a single bit of corruption. this happened in every single music player apk I installed and even the one that came preinstalled. Video:  AVI, RM, MP4, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MOV, MKV*** ***= MKV will not work with software out of the box.  I could only get it to work with MXplayer through Software decoding only and will not work with HD quality MKVs and even some 480p quality depends on codecs that were used in the file. One other thing about playing HD files I had Audio Sync trouble when using other Media player except for Meridian or the one that came with the system.  I actually prefer for this system the Meridian due to the fast forward and rewind control of the D-Pad without causing the onscreen menu to come up (that was always so freaking annoying especially cause you have to wait so long to get the blasted menu to go away and the fact that it has a resistive screen  it's really hard to go and skip just 30 sec. without jumping too far or to short.   okay enough ranting back to the review. FLASH: SWF through browser or install SWF player.  FLV 240p to 480p through browser up to 1080p through Media Player that is installed  the highest Flash version that I got to work was ver. 10.3 or earlier even though Flash 11 is preinstalled on the system. That is all of part one......   my next update will be on 2-19-12 then the final on 2-21-12 (due to me going on vacation that week)

Gambatte For OpenDingux!

Gambatte For OpenDingux! February 12, 2012, 02:22:45 AM by qbertaddict Updated 12-2-2012 Quote This binary includes Ayla's 1.5x scaler as hi-ban suggested abhoriel has ported Gambette to OpenDingux! Quote This is a port of Gambatte to Opendingux. It's an accuracy-focused gameboy/gameboy color emulator, and is much more accurate than gnuboy. In spite of this, it seems to run all the gameboy games I've tried at full speed 60fps on the dingoo without overclocking. This port has a simple menu, supports save/load/select state, and it uses Ayla's fullscreen scaler (as in his port of gnuboy). Let me know if you have any problems or feature requests. It should work on legacy too, but I haven't tested it.

DingooSNES v1.0

DingooSNES v1.0 February 11, 2012, 02:18:55 PM by jagotu lion_rsm has released this SNES emulator for dingoo native. It's based on snes9x, so expect similar compatibility. Warning: Google Translation ahead! Quote Our compatriot lion_rsm released an excellent emulator console Super Nintendo. Why is this better than analog emulator? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Currently under the Dingoo Native OS, there are two alternate emulator SNES: a standard SFC and very advanced PocketSNES. DingooSNES emulator has several advantages over similar products: - A unified user interface (future emulators of other systems will have the same interface) with user-friendly and intuitive operation; - High speed emulation, not yielding counterparts, and in some cases superior to them; - Better compatibility with games through the use of nuclear emulation Snes9X v1.43; - Support for hardware bilinear scaling using the IPU; - Support for Games TV standards NTSC and PAL; - Support for compressed files, ROM games; - Support for the SNES standard sampling frequency 32 kHz audio; - Possibility of redefining control keys; - Safe working emulator for Dingoo, connected to the TV; - Special startup mode emulator.

OD1X-Rebirth: Descent I for OpenDingux

OD1X-Rebirth: Descent I for OpenDingux February 03, 2012, 06:48:19 PM by qbertaddict D1X-Rebirth has been ported to OpenDingux! Quote This is a port of the Descent game for the Dingux, Based on the v0.57 release of the source port project "D1X-Rebirth". ->Steps to install: Extract all these files in a folder inside the memory card. (I recommend creating a folder in /local/bin named d1x-rebirth, and then copy all the files into /local/bin/d1x-rebirth/s) Add the .HOG and .PIG file from the original game into the Data folder. Add a Link into your G2X Menu pointing to d1x-launcher.dge Create your Pilot and configure the controllers. (I recommend the scheme seen in 'screenshot000.png', but you might use your own) Play it until you get finger blisters. ->Whats changed from the original? Menus optimized to use the Dingoo's controllers. Added keycombos to allow for better controller usage. Changed key names. Improved "pause menu" in-game. (transformed the old "QUIT GAME" to a full-fledged, useful menu, access it by hitting SELECT+START) Added Screen Scaling. Added Save Autonaming. Added 320x240/320x200 modes. ->Whats NOT present? No in-game Music. ->Known Issues. Small FPS drops inside the "energy tunnels" due to lots of sprites. ::TODO:: Play A LOT of Descent! A big thanks to Zear for some bits of Code and other bits of Wisdom!

The JXD601 runs Android 2.3 out of the box, and has what many consider is a better form factor (as it is slightly smaller), though it has a lower resolution screen, than the Yinlips YDPG18.  Black ones are a little harder to find, so make sure you stress you want black if you order from the above link.
