Obscurehandheld’s review of JXD S7300 with NCCE Firmware v1.0!

Image
… This review has been kindly put together and narrated by my brother and it demonstrates the NCCE v1 ROM. This ROM fixes a lot of the problems apparent in the JXD firmware, but does still have a way to go. Since uploading the video Skelton has released his XSample ROM, and Damedus and Vektor are about to release a new version of NCCE with mapping support for the right analog stick. We’ll make an update video in a couple of weeks just to show what’s improved, but for the time being if you’re looking for a pretty in-depth and unbiased review of the device you can check it out below. Link to Damedus and Vektor’s NCCE v1 ROM

Josh Dimon  sent me the following: From: Joshua Dimon <insameworrier@gmail.com> To: larry@dingoo-scene.com Sent: Tuesday, 12 March 2013 2:55 PM Subject: Clone GCW Zero Hi Larry, I like to read your blog regularly, as well as dingoonity and openconsoles, opendora, XDA Devs and and other emulation forums.  I have made a video here of a "clone" GCW Zero in action: http://youtu.be/BtTRQq75Hhg This is an "unofficial" GCW Zero sourced from a Hong Kong company. It is called the H350. I bought this through Alibaba. It costed less than the Kickstarter GCW Zero price.  I found the information on the source of the device from this forum: http://forum.openhandhelds.net/index.php/topic,276.0.html This device is not supposed the same as the real the GCW Zero.  I guess this means the software will be different. As for the device, it seems to me to be the same externally t

Justin Barwick (GCW Zero dude) in fundraising attempt to buy (some) Atari rights; GCW Zero kickstarter pledgers say “meh” …

Actually, they say something stronger than “meh”, but this is a PG rated blog. Except for the boobies . Justin Barwick, the organiser of the GCW Zero Kickstarter now has a new campaign (on a different fundraising board) to attempt acquire certain assets of Atari. This is the page for the new campaign .  The response of the masses on Dingoonity makes a great read for fans of torrid non-fiction. Start here !
