I like how everyones pointing out how the color scheme on the right face buttons are rip-offs of the Xbox controller. If anything, the Xbox ripped off the Dreamcast's buttons. I love them both though, and the face buttons look very nice on the Dingoo.
 
No-one's commented on one of the biggest changes? The screen is now a widescreen 400x240 instead of 320x240. That mean that games will either be stretched into widescreen or space will be be wasted with black bars down the side. The only use for a widescreen is for movies or modern games but as I would assume most people are using this console for retro games, 320x240 would've been a better choice.

Whats the price for this console?

According to Etronixmarket, 110 dollars for this baby!

Looks so sexy again, but I'm forcing myself not to buy these kinds of handhelds until they have decent PS2 emulation. So that means I still have to wait 10 years or so

I've got enough games to play anyway, don't need this atm.

I think it'd look better if they made the face buttons the same color as the rest of the shell. Also, why use the same color scheme as an Xbox controller when there's no feasible way to play any sort of Xbox game on the device? Edit: On closer inspection they inverted the color scheme, but it's still incredibly close to that of an Xbox controller.
because they like ripping other companies off
im guessing because people will recognize it and want it

Xbox 360 buttons
Game Boy Micro styled body
PSP XMB ripoff (the start/select or home buttons are also the exact shape from the PSP)
They're Chinese, that's what they're known for, well that and put unusually high amounts of lead and cadmium in paint, hell the paint on that thing probably is riddled with it. It's like 2 birds with one stone.

(should probably put a sarcasm tag in here before some fag takes this seriously)[/sarcasm even if it's all true.]

But on a serious note: What is up with all these new revisions, wasn't a new one out only just last year?
 
Looks good, would mainly be interested in the psx emulation as almost every device with a screen these days can emulate the others.

Strange. The first thing I thought of was 'SNES controller'.

EDIT: After reading all of the comments here... never mind. I did not miss much.

The colors don't match up with either of those. The buttons are clear so they look more like 360.

But yes. 360 and Dreamcast did copy SNES.
 
im sorry, but integrated antivirus? really? not a lot of virii on handhelds with exotic cpus.

better go rush out and buy a antivirus formy DS! it didnt come with it integrated!

For the record, I don't even own an Xbox. I didn't see an SNES controller as I'm more used to this:

now tht my DS top screen is broken, i think this is better than my DS
if i do remember correctly, the VGS emulator required 64MB ram (in those times i believe it was quite big as ppl had 256MB ram max, not sure) and this seems to have fulfilled it
the buttons are amazing and the screen size is great too (if u dont have a tv)
 
woot , i hope this won't be priced too high .
will be looking for it , though i liked it better before the buttons became the same colours as the xbox controller . when they were just printed, it was better IMO . . .

By the way, I always wanted that Korean handheld.
 
Anyone interested might be better reading BooBoo's blog (creator of Dingux) he has been over to visit the manufacturer and is currently working with them to have Dingux installed on the new console.

I loved the A320 when it first came out, it was great little machine. I actually powered it up for the 1st time in ages yesterday when I was trying to get some of my old roms to play on the Caanoo.
