JXD S7800? Seems like a pretty obscure device.

Old topic I know but ALL the nagging issues of the S7800 have now been fixed in one go because they finally released the source code and a member over on Dingoonity has fixed everything. So thats the HDMI output, battery indicator, analogue sticks, 60hz, the lot. Took him a couple of days to fix what JXD couldn't in over a year.

If this is the wrong section, I apologize...So I just recently heard of this Android tablet, it boasts a quad-core 1.8 GHz CPU (one model version anyway), a 7" 1280 x 800 IPS screen, 2 GB of RAM, dual analog sticks, a d-pad, shoulder buttons, it looks like it would be one helluva table for emulation and other types of gaming, and it's reasonably priced too, going for $178 on Amazon. They even showcase PSX and N64 emulation on here http://boards.dingoonity.org/jxd-devices/jxd-s7800-quad-core-will-be-released!/ looks to emulate very, very well.

Except for Snes emulation, the sound was way off and spotty, are there Snes9x ports that are actually based off of 1.53 and not 1.43/1.51, after Blargg's S-SMP code was implemented? I've yet to see an Android port of Snes9x with such a feature. Anyways, what I'm trying to find out is, would this be a better route to go than getting a PSP for homebrew? I only ask since this thing seems to be quite capable and has the advantage of full speed N64 emulation, even HDMI out from what I've seen.
Snes9X EX+ is based on 1.53. It's also the only port (apart from RetroArch I suppose) that's free, open source, gives proper credit... everything an emulator port should do, but which Android ports tend not to.

Edit: I guess that was an old post, this might still be useful to someone though...

It's fine, no worries. I would probably get an nVidia shield instead to be brutally honest, I've been hearing of numerous issues with the JXD and HDMI output (screen tearing) among battery issues.

Seems I got ninja'd lol, they really fixed those issues??? Dang.....

What's the name of the thread that has this? I can't seem to find it.

Nice to see that JXD still can't get their shit together. I remember getting an S7200B and reselling it after one month. Worst Android device I've ever owned.

With the S7200B they didn't release the source, so nobody could fix their mess. Good thing that this time they did :D

Still don't know if I can trust buying one from one of their retailers, I've heard horror stories of people not getting their device for a month of two after they order it. Gee, that's good customer service. Well, I still need the money to get one, but I'm torn between this and the Shield handheld, to be honest.

I remember waiting around one month for mine. And I even had to pay customs on top of that :hateit:

Anyway, I'd get a Shield if it was you. The only good thing of the JXD tablets are the built-in controls. ...Which were kinda mediocre back on the S7200B :P

Yeah, I feel kinda silly making this thread, esp. after seeing all that the Shield can do lol :P I mean, they're both Android, but at least with the Shield, I don't have to go through some less-than-reputable retailer, maybe I'll get one when I get my tax refund, hopefully they'll still be available by then (as in, nVidia doesn't abruptly halt production, you know? I wonder if they'll lower the price again, now that the Shield Tablet is out, which doesn't really appeal to me.

I think the JXD is an old device now. I like the look of the Shield Tablet. That K1 or whatever its called is a powerful beast! Someone just needs to pop that in a tablet with physical controls and that would be my next purchase.

It does have a controller you can get with it, a Shield controller, but the price of both are a deal-breaker for me.

How is Dreamcast emulation on this handheld? Is it perfect yet or still a bit hit/miss?

Also, thanks for the link to the updated firmware.

I just found out for this device, everything seems fine, but wanted to check, is refresh rate really that important?

I mean this device has 54Hz, and will it be enough for visual novels? That the main genre I play anyway. Plus some emulation of Lucas Arts games?

Also, I have bad eyesight, so is 54Hz bad for eyes ? This is kinda precaution question because I didn't have problems with Nintendo devices..

Thx people

Aha ok then, I really don't know where did I saw that info.

Ok then, any info about emulation (PPSSPP and SCUMMVM) on this handheld? Clarity of text, colors etc?

I am talking about S7800b

thx

The S7800 isn't 54hz so not sure where you have seen that information. Its 60hz which is standard for handheld devices.


I know the kernel was closed-source until recently, Webclaw (I think), managed to fix the 58 Hz issue along with other control-related issues the stock kernel had with it. Also, the HDMI out had issues as well, with screen tearing and framerate degradation. Those issues have been fixed AFAIK.

Not tried ScummVM but by all accounts it runs really well. PPSSPP is a great emulator. Doesn't run all games well but the ones that do work run pretty much perfectly. Check out these vids I did a while back showing a few games I had been playing on PPSSPP. So far I've tried nearly 50 games that run more or less perfectly.

0.9.6

I know the newer versions offer better compatibility with some of the games that didn't work at all or very well, but it seemed to be at the expense of performance across the board (isn't it always!)

So I've stuck with the older version because apart from one or two games, it plays everything I want it to anyway.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
