FCR's Dingoo A320 Console Review

[dubleo99]

so cool

[RLiz08]

dude, under the game center the option "interesting game"...is it empty when you first get your a320?

[hare122275]

I'm a HUGE retro-gaming fan. ZSNES, Kega Fusion and VisualBoy Advance get mucho playtime on my laptop. I just ordered a Dingoo via Amazon, and am drooooling for it to arrive.

[bluesman89666]

cheap? 140 bux buy a psp people

[starwarstheclone1000]

@bluesman89666 hey some people like retro games

[megakofffing365]

metal slug looks like Contra

[JAYWALKERS3000]

sorry for my newbotry comment (if it is a newb comment) but wich one is better gp2x wiz or the dingoo a320

[Ms360x]

( normal GBA games frameskip = automatic ) ( 3d GBA games frameskip = 4 )

best to music player and radio

movie sucks, hahahhahahahaha Flash 6.0 sucks, no camera,,,,,,,,,,, my conclusion need for speed most want in this suck piece sht ( PANDORA WERE I FIND U )

[chilliningamestop]

im getting mine tommorow cant wait =)

[caleb3817]

could it play sega cd and saturn games

[Daluigi207]

@jered91 Yes. I do believe it's much better.

I've heard, and in fact seen, that GBA games run REALLY good!

Don't believe me? Look up on youtube "Dingoo A320 Sonic Advance 1" and "Dingoo A320 Super Mario Advance".

It seems like an excellent purchase IMHO.

[dannenoob]

@ busymike you should really get this if you wanna play gba games because you dont need cartridges or flash cards. Plus its expencive with retro games and they are Hard too find

[xxchimakaraxx]

this console would be awesome, but the main problem is that there's little software support for it

[i3suck0at5bmx]

5:25 Fail!

[chaoswarmech]

Ordered mine about a week ago.... Impatiently waiting..

[Dykoz2]

Does the dingoo a320 come with a sd card?

[davegg11]

I just ordered mine!!!! Awesome machine!!!!!!!!

[sonicboy1991sega]

i reccomend you get astro boy omega factor for gba if you dont have it and avp for cps2

[aznboi992]

you viet? i heard viet music on the a320

[AeonRequiem]

Hiya, can someone please tell me something about this website? 4coolday .

Is it good? Is it comparable to dealextreme? Is it a scam?

[godofawsome02]

Is this worth getting if u already have a PSP but love retro games and want to play them on the go?

[kidd093]

i'm thinking of buying a game console soon. i'm not a gamer, so i don't own any console right now. Do u think i should get a DSi or this one since it's cheaper?

[Robin444C]

get this believe me you can play PS1 Games but you need abit of knolege like you need to go in linux then frame skip then overclock for playable preformence

[busymike]

I only want this to play GBA games I can't find anymore. Are there any issues with GBA games?

[Robin444C]

nope just has snes issues thats it

[juggalo4eva0321]

you should review the gp2x wiz, looks kinda better

[HeThrewUpEverywhere]

@juggalo4eva0321 it isn't. and icp sucks

[foilking4]

Hey, do you know if you can hook up another Dingoo A320 so you can play 2 player games with a buddy?

[TLXtream]

where did you get those roms?

[TheJojo909]

@TLXtream

Google is your friend!

[bidoloo]

they come with the dingoo

[EJKabeejay]

hey iwakura or anyone else should i either buy a memory stick for my hacked psp (5.00 m33) with a brocken umd or this dingoo a320

[joep041188]

@EJKabeejay As a dingoo fan, i should say dingoo.

But Maybe a memory stick might be cheaper.

I use my dingoo as mp3 player and all purpose portable game platform.

It's the best portable I have ever bought, mostly because its very cheap.

[EJKabeejay]

alright ill go with dingoo then

[iwakura]

I love retro gaming, and there were a ton of good GBA games. I would go with the dingoo personally,b ut only because I don't think there's enough fun games to get for the psp

[TheTutorialMania]

I love this little mini console! and its a nice thing that you can decide how much memory you would like to have when you buy it, and you can choose up to 8GB! its as much as my cellphone!

[gregieb0i]

Nice review. That's just an understatement too. I plan on purchasing it sometime soon now.

[Doom32ex]

i have a question, dingoo runs snes games at full speed? thanks.

[iwakura]

nope...noticable lag. installing linux on the dingoo and using a different emulator improves performance but still not as good as I'd like.

[tembwbam99]

@iwakura Have you seen PocketSNES? It's SO AWESOME. It runs 90% of the games I've tried nearly perfectly.

[TLXtream]

was yours preloaded with games or not

[iwakura]

it came without any roms, but had a few original games made for the dingoo

[ChristianFS1]

about the tv-output: is the jack, that goes into the dingoo, is it a regular 1/8 jack?

[iwakura]

its a regular audio jack size, which I believe is 3mm

[xxFlyer73]

how or where did you get the roms...because ive looked everywhere for them but there not full files and wont work...pleaase helpp

i subscribed and ill tell other ppl to

thanks

[TheJojo909]

Google is your friend

[Greekmanitalian]

FFX Music :D

Great choice :p

I Bought my dingoo mainly for the GBA/Snes RPGs.

[MovieMakingFan99]

very sleek device there nice menu and hardware to be from China! its really awesome how it can play any video file format kinda like the iPlayer. i don't really think i need this device because i don't even play gba games on my ds so i wouldn't need this! i am really really happy with my EDGE DS with the latest moonshell 2! although this is amazingly amazing!!

P.S. when this device emulates GBA the screen looks too small!

[pspsmallz]

best review for the dingoo(dingoo goo goo??) looks like a neat device

[itachi020]

does this comes with the games or you have to add dthem yourselves

[theAsceticWanderer]

You gotta add them yourself.

[MovieMakingFan99]

you have to ad them your self google nes roms or whatever.

[unopepito06]

Wow, that thing actually looks pretty cool; I'd definitely pick one up if I didn't have my psp hacked. However, considering how short the psp's battery life is, this would probably be superior if you're just playing older games (that's pretty much all I run on my psp, I still think the retail selection sucks)

[zane230]

it look like a ds with screen

[theAsceticWanderer]

Yeah, I hate how the DS doesn't have any screens at all.

[TempoComeculo90]

hahahahhahahahahahhahaa

[godajmo]

That's one of the best review on the Dingoo i've seen!!

[GRider14]

Cool, but i use PSP and NDS for all my needs :)

[risingphoenix86]

wooh hoo! same here, except I cant find a Snes emu for DS. Guess ill have to find it for psp.

[MovieMakingFan99]

or just buy this!

[LeLouchHaru12]

Try SNEMulDS, it's really good. I used to use it back when my Max Media card still functioned. :P

[coolkid602006]

Dingoo? Sounds too Australian to me.

[iwakura]

i thought the animal first thingtoo lol

i also pronounce it like an idiot in the video :P oh well

[FireHax0rd]

For 4GB, $90 really isn't that bad. I would still rather use a Flashcard for emulating, though.

Also, what kind of laptop is that?

[iwakura]

it emulates a lot smoother than flashcarts, higher compatibility, etc

its a special edition HP :D i think its like dv4900 or something

[irpacynot]

Wow! I was even going to ask you if movies required conversion to DPG, but then you answered my question, of course. :P

Awesome device, though -- man! I've fooled around plenty with the homebrew emus on DS, but they don't come close to running as smoothly as what you've presented here.

Speaking of which, does the company making the product offer any type of regular firmware updates? And what is the average price for the Dingoo?

[iwakura]

they've updated it twice since it's been out. There's also a custom firmware (that I'm actually running). There's little difference between the custom and the real thing, but the custom firmware has better english, and lets you overclock the dingoo's processor. (more info in text review)

average price is about 100

4coolday has it for 87 shipped

[rurudtsafg]

i want one!!!!!

[Tim0o]

This looks really nice!! I want one now!

[gvfc]

Nice review, man. You got me interested in the Dingoo. I was wondering if you had your earphones plugged in when you tested the radio function. Most players seem to use them as an antenna these days, that could be why it couldn't find stations near you.

[iwakura]

oooh you've got a good point. I'll try that! It did find some radio stations around, but they were really random ones.

[SMAAAASHTV]

cool little console, but I don't think I'd pay $90 for it, seeing as I can get a ds, used of course and a flash cart with micro sd for about that price.

[CarnageToob]

Finally Andrew ;) :P

[iwakura]

:D hehe

[backsider578]

this look sweet, i would buy this but i have a hack psp

[PokemonMasterJT]

i am the first viewer yay
