Yay!! i have bee waiting for this!!!

Thanks

 

$110 is the MSRP, the shell design isn't the issue here its the cheap buttons and directional pad they used. the a330 is an a320 (does all the same stuff, has the same hardware, etc) with worse buttons and directional pad. the game controller only supports 1 player, this is a hardware limitation. so for $30 more than the cost of an a320 you get 32 extra MB of ram and nothing more. currently there are no apps, software, emulators, etc that can use the extra ram, although i expect that to change quickly with the new dingux port.

but yes i will agree with your comments, which is why this deviced earned the award it did.

to all users who read my above comments -- please don't use the above information as a "mini" review of the problems, read the review fully. there is much more to understand about this device written throughout the review.

I am sure I read this review pretty much word for word on another site a week ago. *starts looking for source*









EDIT: AcK! must be mistaken... Cannot find the review I had thought of. Oh well... No full speed SNES, I don't care.

 

Great review as always. It's a shame to hear about the failings of this revision, as it could have improved so many things. The controller sounds nice, but it kinda defeats the point. Why bother, you could just use a computer.

 

i hope by that you mean someone stole my dingoo a320 review and posted it as their own. and if so i will require the link to take legal action against them.

@tk_saturn: it was much easier than the dingoo a320 review. i basically used that review for structure and rewrote some impressions and the contents information. since they use the same hardware i left most of the rest of the review alone, except for a few edits and some new file hosting. all in all it took me about 5 full 8hr days to do the a330 review. the a320 review took me about 14 full 8 hr days.

It must of taken you ages to compile that review. I know this only too well from my own experience.

As for the device. Its a head scratcher. Why did the "dingoo" team sink most of their resources into a poor redesign of the shell. Do they not understand the market they are selling to? The whole thing reeks of a cake with new icing, only now the same old cake is a little bit stale. They would of been better served to keep the old shape and just soup up the innards. Upgrade the CPU,RAM and add WIFI networking. These 3 additions would have made the product far more attractive to the homebrew crowd.

Seems like the "companies" recent internal wrangles have had an effect and thus this handheld appears to be a shallow cash in.

Shame.

 

i was thinking of getting it for GBA and GBC emulation, but stuff it ill wait for something better

 

The ironic thing like all Chinese technology is that this A330 is not made by Dingoo but is a rip off clone with all the logos etc all over it. Dingoo are going after them legally to stop this product.

Dingoo only makes the A320. So be warned!

 

Ditto! Excellent review though as usual!
