Dingoo works with Vista you will have to install the Dingoo drivers though. Start Dingoo and hold B down. Plug dingoo into vista and follow the driver installation that appear on you PC. WHen your done just restart dingoo again and windows will recognize it when plugged into usb. I have a dingoo and its awesome. Sure its small but thats what makes it so portable. GBA works great (Doom Lags though) SNES about 95% NES 100%, GEN %100 NEO GEO 100% etc. If SNES was 100% along with MAME thenDingoo100%
i got a psp and i have on the psp a snes emulator, gba emu, gb emu, sega mega drive emu and a capcom emulator. no need for these handheld machines! also a ds can play emulators
The Wiz is much better than the Dingoo now that the emulators are starting to mature. The latest DrPocketSnes (v6.5) runs nearly all 2D games at a solid 60fps with transparencies on and full stereo sound at 44khz, clocked at 800mhz.
As for Picodrive, the next version will have 32x support. There is already a video on Youtube of Chaotix running on a Wiz at 60fps!
Recent improvements to the emulators is making the screen-tearing a thing of the past.
The controls on the Wiz are fine. I like mine. Especially since it's a bit more powerful and can handle PSX (getting there, anyway), MAME, CPS2, NeoGeo, SNES Mode-7, and other stuff without freaking out.
The Dingoo works well, but does have a hardware limitation on what it can emulate. I'd call it a nice 2nd emu unit, but the Wiz really impresses me. It has a lot more potential.
It's surprisingly well built, I've brought mine all over (sooo glad I had it on some occasions... like graduation, lol). At very least it's much better built and more feature rich than one of those knock-off sp's. For the case I just use the bag that came with my gameboy micro; fits perfectly, works well.
Hard question! Emulation is better on the Wiz, but the controls are so much better on the Dingoo it's not even funny.
Also, the Wiz has a rather unfortunate diagonal screen-tear issue (you can just about see it in the video) which can be solved by clever programming (PicoDrive 1.56 solves it), but is annoying all the same.
Both are good, but if I didn't have either at this stage I'd probably recommend the Dingoo, because it's cheaper and has better controls.
I actually have the wiz and have to agree the "tight" fit of the controls took some getting use to ... however l'm completely used to them now. The screen tearing issue, though l've seen it in many games doesn't really bug me. l'm very happy with my wiz but may pick up a dingoo just to check it out and play with it a bit. Cool videos man, thanks for sharing!
No worries, I'll try to add more if I get chance. To be fair both machines are excellent - as is evidenced by how close their performance is in these videos.
Are you getting a Pandora? Now that might put the cat amongst the pigeons...

Do you have one? How well do the SNES and SMD emus work?
LeutennantDan 2 years ago
@ZeroCorpse what about running the linux port for the dingoo? That instantly gives you tons more stuff to play with.

PLEASE REPLY:
i just ordered a dingoo, though im not entirly sure it will last... could you take anywhere with u due to how fragile it looks in every video
i was just searching for those special edition game boy sp's(that play nes) when it came up with one of those... and im a big retro fan.
also is it worth making a hard case for it or could it fit nicely in a ds/psp holder?

I'd definitely take the wiz over the dingoo, I just hate the browser system and how unreliable the dingoo is

Pretty sweet... so if you had to give one of them up, would it be the wiz, or the dingoo?

What about not being able to press Y and the B buttons together on the Dingoo? Hasn't that been a sticking point with the Dingoo controls for you?
raymath 2 years ago
Dingux fixes the Y and B problem. It was a software issue, not a hardware one.
Duddyroar 2 years ago
@raymath It was fixed in a firmware update.

Indeed! And let's remember that the Dingoo is cheaper and is running a less advanced emulator!
