Public Service Announcement: [Warning][JXD S7300]DO NOT flash Stock firmware 2.1 if you have a custom firmware

[Warning][7300]DO NOT flash Stock firmware 2.1 if you have a custom firmware. According to the JXD site users with sxelrom can't update to 2.1 from the company( no idea why you would want to anyways it has nothing new for us), and users updating from NCCE will be greeted to a black screen(sorry the translations are bad and vague I'm trying to get a better informed translation on the why). Badly translated reasons: something about partitions change and sd methods on their 2.1 cause issues. Badly translated changelog: update on the new MX chip compatible processing , update the HDMI bug in processing 3 backwards HDMI update 4, update the virtual keys (individual game to open the virtual buttons will be black or exit, such as the trigger of death, monsters shooting ) V2.0-0410 update: 1, modify the system stability, crash, standby revive the problem basi...

You can read about it here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingoo-technology-a380/firmware-v2-0016-with-neo-geo-zip-support/msg70246/#msg70246 “The new Dingoo A-380 CFW V2.08.03 is available for download. With the release of the source code we could finally fix the wrong L-R and X-Y buttons. The kernel in the firmware is replaced to make that possible. The module files are replaced and the cfgfs partition is formatted from EXT2 to EXT3. Note: The L and R button function is now reversed in DMenu. A link to a new tool to write the CFW image on a MicroSD card is added in the Tools section in the OP. Thanks to d_smagin for his help. You now made it in the Special Thanks section in the OP.  “ Download firmware here: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/dingoo.cgi?0,0,0,0,42,690 Thanks Alien Grey...

Mini Slug for OpenDingux

Image
Mini Slug - OpenDingux April 25, 2013, 06:24:44 PM by qbertaddict This is a reimplementation of Metal Slug. Enough said go grab it now! Quote What we have here is a project of the talented programmer Clément CORDE, Slug Mini, in its version for OpenDingux. Unlike Airball, the Mini Slug is not a remake, but rather a kind of reimplementation using sprites and sounds ripped from some of the games in the series, but the stages are totally new and difficult . The Mini Slug Project by Clément CORDE OpenDingux Build by Shin-NiL Controls * D-Pad - Move * A Button - Shoot * B Button - Jump * X Button - Grenade * Y Button (at name entry only) - alternate characters * L Shoulder (at menu only) - alternate number of credits Discuss it here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingux-releases/mini-slug-opendingux/ min...

Main GCW Zero thread on Dingoonity locked

Image
Dude, where’s my thread? Where’s my thread, dude? Over at Dingoonity, ominipotent admin omgmog has done what readers of and posters on this loud, boisterous, often obnoxious, sometimes informative and rarely boring thread covering the ever late GCW Zero have probably long expected. He’s quite understandably locked the thread .  And deservingly so!  So full of vitroil, venom and bile was it! An evil thread. If you viewed it, you would die !  One moment, it was a sweet innocent little child without acting talent, next its like all black, dark, scarred, scarring, spouting bad dialogue and then, and then … noooooooooo:   For a while, my days were sunny again.  The clouds lifted, and the implacable darkness that overtook my soul whenever I heard the words “GCW Preorder” was no more.  Dank, destructive, dark and drab disappeared.  Rainbows streamed across my newly winsome skies. I sing. I play with ponies. Lollypops taste good. I dress like Bradley ...

It’s … an Iben Android Game Player

Image
Source: http://liliputing.com/2013/04/ibenx-gamepad-android-gaming-tablet-with-allwinner-a31-pcu.html Apparently Android tablets with built-in game controllers is now a thing. A company called ibenX is showing off a new 7 inch gaming tablet galled the ibenX GamePad , and it clearly shares some DNA with the Archos GamePad , JXD S7100 , and Tekniser Tek 807D . But the ibenX tablet has a few features tha tmake it stand out. First, it’s powered by an Allwinner A31 ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core processor with PowerVR SGX 544 graphics. Second, it packs a 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display. With those specs, it looks better on paper than the Archos GamePad, which has a Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9 dual core CPU and a 1024 x 600 pixel display. Check it out in action in this video (jump to 8:48 for the console in action):   When I die, I wish to be reborn as a PCB in a Chinese electronics trade show

Never mind the brand, try to see the dots – $250 retina screen quad core Android tablets you can buy NOW

Image
While 8 bit scanlines are the old black around these parts, and we hiss at resolutions greater than 360 * 240, who among us has not stared enviously at the 2048 * 1536 res screens of rich Uncle Muppet’s Ipad 3? A screen so sharp, so bright, and packed with pixel densities with numbers so large, matched only by the numbers following their price tags? We might not game on them, but hotdarnnit, them large table things with retina screens look dang nice . Pity you have to sell Boxer to the glue factory to raise funds if you want one. That is, of course, until recent times, thanks to the magic of Chinese mass production.  Yes, Android 9.7 inch tablets with ultra pixel dense IPS screens – ok harkkit, let’s call them retina screens – are now readily available in the wild! Check these models, all with Quad Core CPUs and 2048 x 1536 screens out (and click on the links to find out more … or to buy one from Tinydeal): (AINOL) Spark 9.7" Retina Android 4.1 Quad-cor...
