absolutely love the new name for this board. Quite fitting.
Like flies on shit. No surprise really.
It probably had something to do with Tommo stealing Final Burn for their own use or maybe because they originally packaged it with both Sony SCPH and GBA BIOS's. Both of which are huge copyright issues.

shoddy build quality, terrible emulation, screen tearing, bargain-bin cheap display, color bleeding, muted and poor quality sound, vertical scan lines, turbo, 16:9 aspect ratio, forcing you to buy their shitty games just to get a firmware update that most likely bricks your console, not having a portable charger for a portable system until 7 months after launch, the name "rocket cable".......
Or mod it yourself. Done. Loads legally owned backups and improves on every issue mentioned. It takes maybe an hour and half. More people would be doing it if the procedure wasn't hidden away in a 50 page cluttered thread.
Come on pipes. I don't buy any handheld without intending to mod it. You think I'm gonna drop well earned cash on a closed device with no mod potential? That's the only reason people still buy PSPs.Because buying something that works properly right out of the box is just so overrated.

My inbox is full of news about this. All the stories that have reported this have nothing but cheers of joy from the hardcore audiance in their comments section. incredibly entertaining lol
Wait ... it's actually possible to upgrade the emulator on the device? I thought the only hack was to modify the SD slot to read standard cards.
As someone who's played on a few Blaze sticks (who Tommo is either associated with or owns or is owned by or something) this is no surprise at all.You know, I never understood who this thing was marketed to. Hardcore neo fans are very precious about the details, and there were so many things done wrong with this thing there was just no way the core audience was gonna go for this. On the other hand, the price on it was way too high to attract casual/tentative fans or curious onlookers. This thing had no discernible target audience, IMO, and it was doomed to fail.
Oh, and to anyone who thinks that arcade stick is good: it's not. The build quality is terrible (it's cheaper and lighter than an actual aes stick) and it only has 4 buttons, severely limiting the number of pc games you can actually play with it . Curious parties would be better served by saving and investing in a quanba or ps3 hori stick. These phony aes sticks are crap.

You can install a custom firmware based off of the dingoo architecture using UsbTool. It replaces the fba core on the device with a much much better one. It has no scanlines, better audio, reduced latency input, save states, etc... All the instructions are in chinese or french though for how to do it.
Casey McMahon♥SNK is a joke of a company. I should know as I worked with them for 5 years while the Neo-Geo.com losers went on a witch hunt against me and other independent resellers of SNK products like NGF. Super Fans keep the Dream alive and Tommo is well within their rights to keep selling their products!
Does it really matter how much modding you do when the hardware will always be low-end garbage? The display is pitiful. Is nobody bothered by that?

Speaking of which, it's rather hillarious that the "Limited Edition" is actually the ONLY edition. Lol!
