Dingoo A320 vs. GP2X Wiz - Super Bomberman 3 (SNES / Super Famicom)

Hudson's superb Super Bomberman 3 being played on two of the hottest open source machines currently available.

The Dingoo A320 is running SNES9x, overclocked to 434MHz.

The GP2X Wiz is running DrPocketSNES 6.4.5, running at the default 600MHz with transparencies switched off.

Bear in mind the Dingoo currently retails for around half the price of the GP2X Wiz!

Both machines can be purchased from http://www.gbax.com

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

[Duddyroar]

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!

[Duddyroar]

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...

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?

[Duddyroar]

Dingux fixes the Y and B problem. It was a software issue, not a hardware one.

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%

[unseen370]

do either of them work on vista?

[rossosnaruto]

@ZombieGraah how can i look funny when you never so me!? ;p

[ZombieGraah]

@rossosnaruto you look so funny, trying to make people buy psp. how much did they pay you?

[rossosnaruto]

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

[yutoobjackel81]

dingoo is cresper picture over all better unless u want this for mega drive then get gp2x

[AwesomeReo]

@raymath It was fixed in a firmware update.

[ragnar00k]

eu tenho um dinggo ele e melhor que esse ai

o gp2x

[crazyteknohed]

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!

@ZeroCorpse what about running the linux port for the dingoo? That instantly gives you tons more stuff to play with.
