    People please, don't even bother buying this piece of shit unit. You can't even flash it. Whats the point. They cutting even more corners so they can sqweeze out more money out of us. So people stay away from this unit. Buy your self a regular dingooo and ur good to go.

    More and more people are experiencing this problem. Not only dingoos bought on ebay but also on extremejeux (some kind of european dealextreme). The consoles were bought in november 2009 (the one on extremejeux) and devember 2009 (the ebay one).

    I want to buy a dingoo to install dingux. Where can I buy one and be sure that is compatible with digux? In DealExtreme?

    Let me share my assumptions about this stuff

    1. It's a fake. Some chinese "plant" decided to produce a Dingoo, but forgot to "steal a design completely". And it's a side-effect.
    2. The bundle of controllers (those china chip) are defect or wrong. They don't let to flash themselves.
    3. That's a conspiracy of creator =). That's the most strange and weird situation. They are protecting from "piracy" ?? Native firmware is a set of "not-so-legally-got" emulators, derived from opensource with closed source code! And creating this will destroy the scene on dingoo immediately... On the other hand, some dingoo representatives stated, that they are pleased with situation about dingoo...

    Anywaty, that' totally WEIRD.

    They are not fake. These are more likely to be Chinese Retail Dingoos which are supposed to be sold in China only and are of an inferior quality. Somehow these 2gb Dingoos slipped through the net and ended up on Ebay.

    The rest of the world enjoy the export quality Dingoos which are 4gb with 1700/1800 mAh batteries.
    Justin from Dingoo Digital USA and Jenny from Dingoo888.co.uk can confirm these Chinese Retail / Export quality Dingoos.

    My first dingoo was like this, I had blue and red unauthorised messages. I returned it to gbax and they sent another. This was around about the start of October. I've hardly done anything with the new one. The dodgy first one left a sour taste and I can't be bothered with them any more.

    but the error message states "chinachip"... chinachip is a brand of processor used in loads of chinese mp3 players. the real dingoo runs on an ingenic processor doesnt it?

    Conclusions from the french dingoo mania forum:

    - pawed Dingoos are now for the China market. 2gb memory, less battery power, and somehow unflashable
    - Unpawed Dingoos are for the export market. They are marked "A320 made in China".

    As for me, I really doubt about this "export" variant. I don't think, that Dingoo so powerful to support 2 different production modes. Also the descision to fill internal market with "weird" dingoos is not so smart. Well, anyway, it's a kind of bootleg. And we need some statistics data about new dingoo purchased (pawed/non-pawed,flashable/not flashable)).

    @GRM RetroWebserver

    Speak to the resellers such as Dingoo Digital USA. They are in direct contact with Dingoo Digital in China themselves. They will tell you that Chinese Dingoos and Export Dingoos DO in fact exist.

    These are not "fake" or "bootleg" Dingoos, just merely Chinese Dingoos intended for the Chinese market.

    haven't tested but that was what's somebody used on the page posted above, and got it working again. it's all in chinese but it's just like the other flashers, except this one could be newer newer perhaps, worth a try...

    I got one of these stupid 2gb dingoos off Ebay, but the thing about it is, the seller SAID in the auction that it was 4gb! It even said on the box that it was 4gb. It bricked after maybe six hours of use and if this guy doesn't refund me, or send me a 4gb replacement I'm going to take whatever action I can to make sure he goes out of business.

    If you paid through paypal, just open a dispute with them. That will actually freeze his account (he won't be able to withdraw any money) ;)

    here's the deal, ONLY BUY FROM DEALEXTREME!

    Ebay has nothing but knockoffs & everyone else BOUGHT a knockoff & are trying to unload it.

    It took forever for me to receive my Dingoo from there, but it was the real deal and it works great. I flashed mine with no problem.

    "Ebay has nothing but knockoffs & everyone else BOUGHT a knockoff & are trying to unload it."

    Bullshit. Bought a Dingoo from the bay in November 09 because Dealextreme never could deliver them, came faster than anything DX ever delivered and was of course the genuine, 4GB version. You are just trying to push

    Don't bother buying a dingoo. Go for a JXD instead, as they've got android with touchscreen, more powerful hardware, and are easier to get without getting ripped off by some guy named Jason.

Dingoo A380 Review

By -
Image
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 Dingu...

A somewhat new game for Dingux from ZX-81: Dingux-Mancala: A Mancala Game v1.1.0 for Dingoo/Dingux Hi All, Mancala is a board game familly, originated in East Africa. The word "Mancala" came from arabic word "naqalah" that means literaly "To move".

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license, read COPYING.txt file for more information about it. How to play ?

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 .

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

By -
Image
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 de...

Tauon PC-1 review

By -

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...

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...

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 ...
