Caanoo and WiFi Dongle Finally WORKING! YAY!

SORRY I cannot do a clearer or more detailed video but just wanted to follow up and show how now thanks to the help of qbertaddict1 and his gift of the wifi dongle I am FINALLY able to browse the online Caanoo files archive, select, download and install Games/Demos/Apps etc. No narration, just some AMIGA converted Midi to MP3 background music.

How much are these going for? Also, how are the emulators? Would love something portable for snes, Genesis and nes emulation. I've seen footage of people running their Playstation games on it, but they run so slow it seems like it's not worth the effort.

@castlevania78 The Playstation emulators are more like a proof of concept, can't expect this hardware to run that full speed however everything 8 to 16 bit and lower are pretty damn good overall. Qbertaddict1 has some good videos to give you an idea. Be forewarned they are the last handhelds form the company to my knowledge. Google "Cannoo purchase" to find places like Play Asia and ThinkGeek etc to purchase from, Go to openhandhelds to get an idea of what is available as far as emulators go.

I love this machine. I have 3 GP2X's (one is a white ZGP2X f200, I think it's called. And 2 Wiz's. And a Caanoo. Going to look for another.

Also have a Dingoo, which broke. =(

Nice video, very different, Max.

@cuttock Thanks I DO try to be different and not make the same videos as everyone else. I too have a GP2X WIZ and a Dingoo! I love the open handheld concept!

@MaximumRD Me too, man. The Dingoos are cool. I'm on dealextreme right now deciding what to buy. Also, I'm sure you've heard of the Pandora. I was thinking about it, too.

[MaximumRD]

@cuttock Being currently broke and unemployed the Pandoa is not even a consideration. Of course I think it is awesome as I followed it from the beginning including the time it took for all those who prepaid to finally get one. Through the whole process and after much consideration as awesome as it is in my opinion it just crosses the line in price. I love that it is open and dedicated etc, but at the price point it is seriously approaching netbook or low end laptop territory.

[MaximumRD]

@cuttock At that price I could not justify the Pandora, as sweet as it would be to have it just for bragging rights I cannot really see it offering value over a netbook / low end laptop, sure it is smaller but so are much cheaper devices like Caanoo, if I am going to pay that much just to run emulators and ports I will just go for the low end laptop I could do all that and much more with. If it was much cheaper or if money was no object then for sure I would consider it,

I like the black mage's pixel art

@MaximumRD thanks for the response, man. It seems these are easily purchased on ebay (ugh) for about $130. I'll check out those videos and try out the site to see how the emulation works.
