I doubt I'll get one since I'm waiting for my Wiz and the Dingoo looks kind of shoddy (apparently there's an issue with pushing Y and B simultaneously? You'll have a hell of a time rolling or dodging in KOF without mapping to a trigger...) but at 80 bucks it seems like something you could grab just to play around with. Anyone messed with it?

looks like half a ds.

I remember reading a video comment that said exactly that.

Pocketgamer noticed too, except it seems that the d-pad is shallower than on the DS, which is a shame.

it looks nice.
but I'm just not to sure why I would pick one of these
up instead of using a psp or the ds along with removable media to boot up some emulators.

Form factor and price (and probably bad genes.)

Here's a video showcasing the Y+B issue and a workaround (which will break "Extra Mode" in KOF, heh.) for the technically capable.

Mine arrived in the mail and I'm already having sound issues with the damn thing.

Comparison of Dingoo to Wiz, though Craigx's Wiz (and his assessment of its controls) have been objects of debate. Take this with a grain of salt.

I got my Dingo a couple weeks ago. Slow down on the neo. Not impressed.

Nope. It's much better than the JXD301, but inferior to my GP2X F100 & F200. Its ok, got the Wiz on the way.

I can't decide whether to grab a Wiz now, or wait for a revised version of the hardware?

Might want to wait for the Pandora and see what the community thinks of both.

I got one of these a couple months ago.

Heres what I think:

The system itself is kind of awkward, its not super comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

The buttons and whatnot seem to work pretty well as far as im concered, the build quality is actually a bit nicer then one would think.

The speakers are pretty dinky, and another annoying feature is having to go through the menus to shut off the speaker if you wanted to use it for mp3 then switch over to a game.

The UI is pretty much a psp ripoff.

Now onto what people really want to know!!

EMULATION!!!!

Ok Ill do it system by system

Nes: Runs perfectly, but then again if it didn't it would be a piece of trash

Snes: Runs pretty good from what ive used. Although games with the super graphics chip in them (EX: starfox or megaman X2 or X3) do not work. Earthbound (the main thing i was playing untill i decided to bust out all my old systems so now im playing it on the snes) runs great!

Genesis (Megadrive...whatever) Although people dont really complain about this, i will. The main thing that sucks about it is the picture quality, its really buggy and theres always like lines, and distortion running through the pictures. Probably the worst emulator.

GBA: Works pretty damn well...but then again not surprising

Capcom arcade boards CPS1 and CPS 2: Well I cant get CPS2 working, but CPS 1 works great, i played some knights of the round and dragon master or whatever and megaman power fighters!!!


Overall if your really into emulation and want to take it on the go, i say go for it. Its not too much money, and its incredibly easy to use. The only complaint i have is the terrible picture quality during genesis games.

Damn. Well that kills buying that thing for me.

yeah dude, thats the only downfall, but its a pretty big one. I mean other then the junkyy speakers it works really well. Theres not really much slowdown with the genesis emu, mainly just video problems. But like i said its annoying.
