    Gaming DS Lite Repair Question x4

    All that stuff I typed before was 'generic', I didn't have a DSL infront of me to compare. Here's what I've got from an actual DS-Lite main board. The attached image is a close-up of the ribbon connector that's near the volume control. IIRC this is the cable for the lower screen, but the...

    Gaming DS Lite Repair Question x4

    1) How do you PROPERLY remove/insert ribbon cables ? Look closely at the plastic socket thingy that the ribbon cable is in. Usually these are made of two different colours of plastic. Typically beige and brown. One colour is used for the larger part, which is the part that's affixed / soldered...

    Gaming ds lite stops charging after an hour. should I be worried?

    Try using it for a while and see if the battery lasts as long as it used to. If it still works ok then there's nothing to worry about. On the other hand, it is possible that the battery is starting to lose its capacity. When they go, they tend to have shorter discharge / recharge cycles, so it...

    Gaming DS lite charging problem

    Hi Leonardo, Like Sicklyboy mentioned, there are USB cables out there that plug directly into the DSL. The difference from 5.2v to 5.0v is negligible really. The charge current will be more important than the slight voltage difference - it'll work best if you're plugging it into a powered...

    Gaming DS lite charging problem

    According to the DS Lite manual, the charging LED does indeed 'light orange while the battery is charging' then it goes out when the battery is fully charged. I don't know if you could run the DS off the adaptor with no battery installed; the manual says not to and it's possible that could...

    Hacking Custom Skin Font, Extension Icons?

    Hello Another World, thanks for the info! The font thing appears to have been added in AKAIO 1.3 according to the readme so it's qute possible that it's been removed or depreciated since then. I did find the variable customUnicodeFont is still in the ak4menu.nds binary so maybe some of the...

    Hacking Custom Skin Font, Extension Icons?

    Hello all, I've been out of the loop for a few years but just got interested in my old DSL & AK2i again. I've upgraded to the current version of AKAIO and have been poking around with it, and come up with two questions. First - I have made my own skin and have a font that goes with it, which...

    Problem with my dingoo, halp pls :(

    Check under your device list for the chinachip drivers, if they are there maybe uninstall them, then when you plug the dingoo in, the drivers should get reinstalled. If that doesn't work then the only other suggestion I can make is to use a flasher/unbricker tool and do a firmware restore to...

    Problem with my dingoo, halp pls :(

    I haven't heard of the 'not identified' message, so I'm guessing that's an error you see on Windows rather than the Dingoo, right? Does the Dingoo still work normally? When you plug it in to the computer, does the Dingoo show the USB connection screen? Does it recharge normally when plugged in...

    Dingoo A330 Review

    Ah ok, thank you! That makes sense. Well the good news is that the controller does appear to have an accelerometer in it, the part is ATMLH012 which I believe to be an Atmel part. It's connected to the controller's Elan Tech cpu via SPI bus, which is the same bus that the CPU uses to communicate...

    Dingoo A330 Review

    Another World, your reviews are the best. Very well written, well researched, you put the other folks to shame. Re. the wireless controller, what exactly does this '6 axis' stuff mean? I've read that mentioned a few places, and of course it's part of Dingoo Tech's ad copy, but what is it...

    Dingoo a330 help D:

    I don't think the a330.hxf file has been released into the wild yet. There was a download page set up for it at the dingoo-tech site but the file wasn't available. Re. the GBA sim file, there should be a download package you can grab from the dingoo homepage that has all the emulators in it I...

    Dingo help

    I think the psx bios is only required in some situations. I haven't put one on mine, but I was able to run the couple games I tried.

    Dingo help

    If you're referring to the psx4all emulator, you can put the game files in the same directory as the psx4all binary. psx4all has its own method for loading the cd images, after the emulator is launched.

    When will ShopTemp be getting the Dingoo A330?

    There's quite a few of the new Dingoo A330's popping up on eBay already. I've heard that various reviewers have received the A330, or are getting it soon. Any word from ShopTemp on when they will start selling it, & what the pricing will be? Cheers!
