    That review got better as it went along. The (c) issues do not have to be the basis of the review. Some of the people commenting need such a slap.
    One legitimate comment received many negative votes when it raises the issue of why the Archos product does not get such a negative reception on the [c] front; yet the JXD, one does.
    I would rather Eurogamer did not review this sector of the market if the tone is like this. They are out of their depth.

    I completely agree; it's a shame that no everyone gets the niche market that we all care about. You either understand Chinese Knockoff consoles and assess them on their own terms, or you make fun of them. There seems to be no measured and rational middle ground. The truth is, these things are the white box PC's of the 2000's, like the plain label PC's that shipped in the millions in the 90s, and the "Pineapple" Apple II's that shipped in the 80s. They are the unsung grease behind ever paradigm change in consumer IT technology. You need grease to keep things running, but grease needs to be recognised as much for its function as its inherent filthy qualities, before it can truly be understood.

    I'm so with you guys on this.
    For this tablet to have gotten the attention of developers it means that it has merits.

    I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one of these because of the fact that new firmwares are being developed to refine the performance.

    Giving Eurogamer this JXD to review, is like giving a peace campaigner a rifle to review. You know the moral issues will affect what they need to be seen to say. Eurogamer need to be seen to be caring about [c] issue in the face of the free things they get from other manufacturers.

    Hi guys. if you're intetested, i reviewed (time ago) this device.
    you can read on my blog (Note: In spanish. use translator to get a translated version):
    http://manguiro.blogspot.com.es/2013/02/review-video-consolatablet-jxds7300b.html

    I read this review, and i don´t get satisfied about how him analize the device. as someone says, is basic to know a little bit these kind of devices to "tune up" before get a real experiencie of the device. Firmware/O.S., emulators config, android gaming config, etc, etc, etc. many parameters to be consider before testing and, finally, talk about the device.

    well... hope you found useful my review.

    Greetings!

Idiot’s Guide to installing Dingux using Windows released

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 ! Grab the latest version of the critical local.zip file, referred to in the guide here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/index.php/topic,32.msg80.html#msg80

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...

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...

What those included Interesting Games REALLY are

By -
Image
The Dingoo comes with some free games titled, very helpfully, 1001.jgc, 1002,jgc … and so on. They live in the “GBA” folder of “Interesting Game”, which is somewhat of an understatement. It turns out that a few of these games are made by “ Jungletac ”, which may explain the “jgc” filenames. I assume they are GBA compatible. They aren’t complete rubbish, either. Some are pretty playable clones of popular classics or well known games. You might not keep ‘em if you’re down to your last meg or two, but they’re pretty playable in their own right. Here is a list of their filenames, titles and a brief description. Filename Title Description Screenshot 1001.jgc Tiger Rescue A pretty tough from the top shoot ‘em up, reminiscent of Raiden. My pick for the best of the bunch. 1002.jgc Hero Legend Clone of Don Doko D...

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...

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...

How to open your Dingoo

By -
Image
Inevitably, you will find yourself consumed by an overwhelming desire to see what’s inside the Dingoo.  Whether to change the battery, to work out what makes it tick, or just because it’s there, I’ve saved you the trouble! Opening Dingoo, is dead easy, compared with say, cracking the shell on an Xbox 360 .  No special tools are required – just a set of mini screwdrivers at a minimum. First, prise off those 4 lovely rubber feet to reveal the screws underneath: Unscrew the screws.  Then gently prise Dingoo apart (you can see where the internal clips are in the picture below). Voila! Be sure not to lose the power switch, which might fall off when he case is opened! The battery will appear to be secured to the board somehow. It is actually stuck on to a sticky pad.  Use a flat spatula, screwdriver or tweezers and slide underneath the battery from right to left, gently lifting the battery off.  Careful, don’t go hard, or you might pull components o...
