A320 firmware with BBE support – from Chinese website: use at your own risk, but it seems OK!

By -

An anonymous poster from 2 posts below seems to have found alternative firmware with BBE support.   Grab it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yynjmzfxt3y – although I don’t know what it will do to your Dingoo!

If anyone has the megalos gamyas to try this and report back, we will bow to you! At least two posters have megalos Gamyas, bow , bow :)!

UPDATE (see comments):

Ok, I have the newest archive and the password is "junyees" without the quotation marks.
Here is the file.

I have flashed this as well now and it does work. I don't see any specific settings for bbe but the audio does sound better. It isn't nearly as fast as the overclocked 400mhz firmware that is available though.

Yet another update:

Best for you all to read the comments:)!  Cheers, Larry.

    The striked through Mediafire link by me is the same as the new one? What's the reason for that?

    My old one was 1.03 as well. There is no difference in the files besides their filenames.

    Hi anonymous, when you say: "It isn't nearly as fast as the overclocked 400mhz firmware that is available though." - can't you run the overclock application by A600 ( http://dingoo-scene.blogspot.com/2009/03/a600-posts-a320-overclocking-app.html ) with the BBE firmware?

    I'm sure you can run the overclock app with the bbe firmware. I didn't try it though as I prefer the responsiveness of the 400mhz firmware.

    The sound difference isn't as great as I had expected either. From previous experience with bbe devices I couldn't notice the same level of improvement. If course I am using some crappy earbuds which probably doesn't help matters much.

    Ideally someone could merge the two firmwares and include both overclock and bbe. It seems there was mention of this with a 385mhz version in the original thread, but the bbe firmware I flashed was certainly not performing as if it were overclocked.

    @GNX

    While your firmware was 1.03 as well, the one I linked on mediafire was the newer one from the ftp directory..the one which you said the link wasn't working. I was able to download it with an ftp client. I suspect that the password would be the same for both of the files though as "junyees" is the creator of them both.

    Actually I see that the filesizes are the same..So I am assuming that you were also able to download the newest version. If that is the case the files are identical and the same password should work for both. Consider mine a mirror.
    Sorry about that.

    Ok, smaller bbe firmware seems ok too. Sound seems better as well. Although there still aren't any options with "bbe" label.

    Smaller bbe firmware tested with overclock app and working fine. Sound seems quite good to me and it seems to also affect videos and games as well. Firmware file is several MB smaller so I don't know what is removed. I will be sticking with this one until something new comes around.

    Is the sound better in the smaller firmware or the newer and bigger?

    I think the sound is better on the smaller firmware. Also it doesn't run nearly as choppy as the bigger firmware.

    Well this is starting to become long and confusing but I wanted to update everyone since Junyees was kind enough to email me and answer some questions as well as sending me the newest firmware which is both overclocked to 380mhz and contains bbe. Here is what Junyees had to say.

    "I have sent the firmware to you,This firmware source from http://www.dingoo888.com/manage/download/A320-V1.03.rar (The web of Dingoo ).
    In its foundation（ver 1.03）, I made a few changes。
    1; The 3DGame 's directory is A:\game\3d
    2; Add the BBE，
    3;Changed the four theme
    4;Delete the firmware which is useless,make the system disk as small as possible.
    The Attach is the firmware is using the overclocking feature 380mhz,I'm not sure it can be step up the Mediaplayer's performance.In my opinion,more or less,The System running speed will be enhanced.

    If you need the firmware that run in default frequency，you can visit my web-disk site.
    http://scjs.ys168.com"

    I am uploading this firmware and will post a link shortly. Thank you to Junyees for taking the time to email me and for his continued efforts on the bbe firmware.

    A little more info on the new firmware:

    "The BBE sound have three gear.
    that it is:

    BBE Normal --- Vocal
    BBE Treble --- Treble
    BBE Bass --- BASS
    (Chinese)
    BBE 普通 ＝人声
    BBE 高音 ＝高音
    BBE 低音 ＝低音

    you can press "A" key to switch them.Of cause ,you may changed them at the music setup menu.
    I advice the 3D audio settings-Bass choose "Weak" or "Medium"."

    Thanks again Junyees.

Dingoo A380 Review

The nice folk at isharegifts gracefully sent me a sample Dingoo A380 for review. Having declared my pecuniary interest, in truth though, after playing with this new Dingoo, bribery and graft is strictly unnecessary for its promotion.  IMHO, the product does stand on its own merits.  It remains a testament to the original A320, and its rabid, passionate community (hey, that’s us dudes) that even in 2011, some 3 years after the word “Dingoo” became somewhat a part of the English language,  that it still remains the best Dingoo-type device.  This is because it is still the best supported, thanks to Booboo’s original Dingux, and now OpenDingux.  Dingux means access to emulators and software other than those that came with the original A320’s native uCos firmware.  Dingux allows for ports of games like Doom and Duke Nukem.  Dingux is what turned the A320 from a glorified media player into the device we know and love. It’s still necessary to put Dingux onto a stock standard A320 thoug

With the release of FAT Dingux, it is now possible to install Dingux using only Windows!  As promised, here is The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Installing Dingux – Using Windoze Edition.  Grab the guide here in PDF , zipped here , or here for HTML . 18 October 2009 Update:   The above links will always contain the latest version of this guide . While the guide was written in July 2009, the technique shown in it remains the same as at the update date shown in green.  However, the guide refers to toddler’s or warped flash’s “local.zip” files, and contains links to these files, which are outdated. The links used to point to the A320 freeforums, until the dastardly Dan deleted them !

The Dingoo-Scene JXD S7800B (Rockchip 3188 SoC) Android Gaming Console Review

By -

1. Introduction      Since the introduction of the somewhat venerable Yinlips YDPG18, Android handheld gaming devices have been released pretty much continuously, by any number of Chinese manufacturers.      They’re not released with retrogaming in mind however.  Dedicated Android handhelds with physical controls for the consumption of nostalgic childhood memories are simply not in great demand in China, and accordingly, these devices have never been well supported by their makers, as far as the multitude of little tweaks and twerks that the Western retrogamer demands in the quest for ultimate emulation fidelity are concerned.  The view of China based manufacturers seems to be that the physical controls are an adjunct to the primary function of the device – hey, it’s an Android tablet, what else do you want?  Foremost among such frustrations has been OASS: “ornamental analog stick syndrome”, which sadly afflicts many of the devices released to date. What use are any physical cont

Tauon PC-1 review

You should give this a chance. It deserves one. Welcome to the Tauon PC-1. A Tauon is an incredibly  geeky sciency thing , as it happens, and has nothing to do with the  Great Eastern Philosopher . You won't find it for sale anywhere other than on Tauon's website , and on ebay so far as I can see,  and then only if you're a regular visitor of the ebay "vintage computer hardware" category.  It won't even turn up on ebay if you search for the product name: "Tauon PC1"  - you'll just stumble upon it one day, when you're looking for a replacement floppy drive, or a C64.  So, what is it? It's a computer in a dinky little case! Hardware wise, it has: Allwinner H3 Quad Core SOC [1ghz to 1.2ghz/1gb RAM/8GB internal NAND storage] SD slot USB slot,  HDMI and composite out Ethernet Wifi UART (send/receive signals through terminal commands) I2C (drivers aren't ready yet, but promised).   Inside the case - y

If Santa was kind this year, he may have brought you one of these:   If Santa did, you'll have worked out by now that 64 built-in games, classics though some of them are, is simply  not enough .   Your travels may have led you to this c64 romset:  https://archive.org/details/C64Romset , which contains 17,068 games. If you pop them on a USB stick and slip it into your c64 Maxi/Mini, only the first 256 games will appear.  This is because there is a limit of 256 items per folder that can be displayed on the c64 mini/maxi loader. So you need to split the games into individual folders, each containing n

An interview with the creator of the Tauon PC-1, Volodymyr Mishin

By -
I'll bet you don't roll out of bed and think about making your own PC before breakfast.  Even you do, I bet you haven't actually  shipped . Here's someone who has.   I reached out to the creator of the  Tauon PC-1 , Volodymyr Mishyn who kindly took more than a little time to answer some detailed questions about the PC-1, how it came to be, the challenges of a project like this, his future plans for Tauon OS and what is clearly a very personal labour of love.   Many thanks Volodymyr.   Your  news blog  suggests 30 days to prototype, and 6 months to ship! If that is right, it is very impressive, given the technical and logistical activities that had to occur.  Is there more to this story? I was looking for available options before I started the project. I got myself a couple PI (3B, Zero) OrangePi, C-SKY. And tried to build some kind of educational PC for my kid. Unfortunately, the performance was awful, using Linux was too complicated even for me (I h
