Tip: How to switch to (screen off) "standby" (really TV Out) mode

Today we begin a series of tips, designed to help you overcome the lack of a useful manual! To turn your Dingoo screen off quickly, while in any emulator : Hold down Start then press the Left Shoulder button This puts Dingoo into TV-out mode, which blanks the screen. Think of it as "standby" - though it's not real standby, because the batteries will continue to drain even with the screen blank. In some games which use the same combination of buttons, this can be less than helpful. In GBA "Zelda The Minish Cap" for instance. Same again to restore the screen from blank.

How to change volume!

There is no hardware volume key! It's minor, inconsequential omissions like this that lets you buy a Dingoo for such craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy low prices! If you nevertheless think you might like to adjust the sound from time to time, the volume adjustment is: Start + Up or Down Or hunt down the software volume control in each individual application, if you don't fancy the above. Actually, the shortcut above doesn't work in the GBA emulator. In this emulator, you need to: Press SELECT + START -> Select "Misc. Settings" -> Volume -> Adjust with keypad Ahh well, remember how cheap it is. Remember how cheap it is.
