Dingoo Clone...?

[B-Blue]

So, I was looking for a Dingoo on alibaba.com and found this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/28751328...me_station.html
Since I obviously have nothing better to do, I ordered this clone, and it arrived 2 days later.

It's called PMP3100 Digital Media Player Micro Game Station

Spoiler

sorry for the blurriness

It comes with a charger (plugs in the usb slot), a usb cable, and headphones.
It has a built-in 2gb memory.
Music player. Video Player. Book reader.... WHO CARES I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE GBA GAMES?


So I plug in the usb cable. Here's what's inside:

Spoiler

"FUCK YEAH CAPS"

Inside GAMES is a bunch of random gba games (barbie and shit).
I delete all of them

and transfered metroid fusion, minish cap, and super mario 3 (im 1337)
Now to see if this thing really works. I unplug the usb cable. Turn on this piece of shit. Go to "Games". Start metroid fusion.

HOLY CRAP AWESOME!
This thing works! The sound is a bit loud but who cares?!
I played the game for a couple of minutes and everything is OK. No slowdowns or anything.
Then I played super mario 3. WOW! works like a charm. same thing with minish cap!
I haven't tried watching videos on it yet. Right now I only care about GBA emulation.

So what do you guys think?

^ that is more expensive!! i thought DX was usually cheaper!!

 

[Pliskron]

this would be totally sweet if you could run dingux

^ that is more expensive!! i thought DX was usually cheaper!!

It is. From one point. DX price is for one. The other link requires you to buy 10.

Oh, haha

B-blue, Dingux is linux for the Dingoo

Dingoo Linux. Have you ever heard of anything more sweet?

ONTOPIC: sounds like the GBA part of it's actually pretty good. Try any other demanding games on it?

Wow, I like the matte finish (at least, it looks matte in the DX pics).

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Looks fucking neat. Do want.

Deal extreme sell these too in fact, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39273 (as 1NOOB already said)

But this seems to only support GBA games natively, I think its unlikely anything made for the Dingoo, that's emulators and firmwares/Linux would work on this. But it would be interesting if someone experimented with this to see what could be done with it.

lol, I know!

I just tried a few games
link to the past, both kirby games, castlevanias, super mario world
all work just fine!

Also, I just figured out how to turn the volume down.
When I press the ESC button, I get this menu with lots of options like taking a screenshot, cheats, adjust volume, load/save state, and game options.

I'm loving this piece of crap so far!

B-blue, BUY ME ON NAO!!

the ESC option should've been called Options.

Try the list of problematic roms from this topic:

Is that a microSD slot on it? If it is then its already BETTER than a Dingoo which is stuck with the dead miniSD format.
