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.

Wow excellent progress! GW joyrider, keep it coming.

ReplyDeleteSuper mario world isn't a very good example of emulation on snes. Mabey we could see super mario rpg or starfox. Mabey yoshi's island. Theese all work without frameskip flawlessly on a gamecube @485mhz, so mabey with a 400mhz processor the dingoo should be able to handle snes9x 1.43?
ReplyDeleteYou cant really compare mhz unless its the exact same architecture, and even then that gets dicey on identical architectures with different manufacturers. The gamecube is based on powerpc and also has a dedicated graphics processor, the dingoo is mips and doesnt have a graphics processor.
ReplyDeleteBut Super Mario World is one of the games which runs with problems in the original Dingoo SNES emulator, so it's already a progress to run it flawlessly.
