Youtube Vid in action -
It's basically a handheld emulator device about the same size as a Gameboy Micro & will run SNES/MD/Neo Geo/CPS1 & 2/NES/GB emulators but also has DivX & MP3/4 Support
There are also a few games being developed for it specifically including an adventure called 7 Days which looks good.
I've ordered my one today & it should be here in about a week or so's time so I'll post impressions then but to me it's the perfect blend of size & functionallity, makes me glad I didnt buy a PSP recently
Anyway if anyone else is interested they are available now from Dealxtreme for $85 shipped (or about £60 in todays money )
Please be aware that NO rom discussions will be tolerated in this thread, Thank You

hmmm doesnt look like a real picture, more like a computer image.
it also looks like a rip-off of a GP2X Wiz but will keep any eye out and let you know.
I've been holding off getting a larger capacity MP3 player for something that also plays games and homebrew, but put off by size.
This looks just the ticket.
The fact that it plays FLAC audio format has gotten me interested ^_^.
And my zen stone has just died on me, so I need something to replace that, but there are a few things that put me off:
1) The size, it is wayyy to big just to use as a replacement mp3 player.
2) It is made my china and not japan, which is a huge put off as they never seem to create their own products just steal the ideas from japan (I mean the exact design), they have copied the the wii(chintendo vii), the ds(Neo Double Games, AGPX), the GBA (game king) and probably a lot more in the past and now they are looking to rip off other systems.
3) Looking at the youtube vid, the main menu looks a bit like the psp's XMB hmmmm and I bet not many games will play full speed, I mean if the psp can't play the majority of snes games full speed, what chance does this system have.
4) I agree with gfunk2k, the image looks wayyyy to manipulated, obviously offering something the device, simply can't live up to.
The only thing that I really like is the fact that it can play FLAC, which TBH I wouldn't be suprised if the device actually wasn't able to play them and I definately wouldn't pay £60 for it, maybe £30.
The above is only my opinion, I could be all wrong, this handheld could be the next biggest thing and sell billions and destroy every other handheld, I just very much doubt it.
Please let us know more about the system when you get it 'Soundwave' tell us if it lives up to its quite cool looking image and of course post some pics

The size is ok, I wouldnt want to carry a Zen Stone and one of this around for holidays etc, and you get a 2.8" screen.
As for the price, youd only pay £30?
This price is similar to the 4GB Zen with 2.5" screen
My only concern is the sound quality via headphones for MP3s' FLAC etc.
Mine was shipped Saturday so fingers crossed will be here soon.
Impressions as soon as it lands
Not sure on SQ myself but as I wont really be using it for MP3 I'm not too concerned, as long as game audio & Divx is acceptable I'll be happy
Neil

I wouldn't pay more than £30 for any stytem that was made in china, its just too risky with all the bootlegs around.
Thats the thing though the Zen is just an MP3 player which is fine if thats all you want.
The Dingoo is more though & as such has to have a bigger size.
Saying you wouldnt pay more than £30 & the amount of conterfits is fine I do understand what your getting at, but to me the Dingoo is an awesome looking gadget & if it turns out to be as good as I hope then the sub £60 it's cost me including delivery is still a bargain & if it's not then at least I have a good portable DivX player for my Anime

True, but yeah TBH the device would probably be over kill for me as I don't really like the whole concept of emulation, I much prefer having the original copies and playing them on the original systems, although there is some GBC and SNES projects out there that have a translation team working on converting a few japanese only titles into english and of course they will only be available in ROM format, so I wouldn't mind having a system like this strictly for the games that were not officialy released and a few pokemon hacks I have seen .
So yeah please let me know If the A320 is any good at actually handling emulation, I am sure it is worth picking up if it plays at least 90% of games at full speed, but like I said earlier I can't imagine it playing a lot of snes games at full speed if the PSP can't even do that, but you never know. ^_^.
Good luck with the system anywhoo, hope it brings you many happy hours.
Craig.

I understand 100% what you mean I do prefer the originals myself & still have a SNES, PC Engine & MD which get regular play time.
The Dingoo is more for gaming on the go & also for playing those CPS2 games that never got home console releases like Progear/Caddilacs & Dinosaurs/Aliens Vs Predator & so I can finally play Neo Geo/MVS software as well.
I'm not sure how to compare speed of original software to how the Dingoo handles it when it arrives but if you know of a software programme that can compare then I'll try to do comparissons as well if I can.
From the videos it seems ok but I guess until I can try it myself then I'll not know for sure.
I've got high hopes for it anyway & fingers crossed it doesnt let me down lol

Gaming on the go is awesome, but I always try and limit it, as I always end up loosing something or the system ends up getting damaged.
Just looked at some images on dealextreme and actually I was wrong it does actually look really nice (didn't notice all the images before) and I also just noticed the fact that it has a AV-OUT feature, which is really awesome, as I have always wanted to just easily hook up my handheld to the TV, if it handles doing this better than the psp I would definately be interested. (the newer models PSP's feature to display the content on the TV was horrid for games, it was either too small or way too pixelated)
Might also be a nice little device for me to just play some FLAC files when I can't be bothered to boot up my PC, but yeah this depends on the audio playback quality.
See I am thinking of the positives of the device now ^_^

The AV out feature is something that appealed to me as well.
Mostly for my DivX watching...hopefully it'll save me either having to burn it to disc or stream it to the 360 because I can just pop it on the 4GB memory & plug it into the TV
Yeah the pics on the Dingoo site dont really show too much & like mentioned are all too rendered to get a proper impression.
The Dealxtreme one's are much better arent they?
Help give you a much better inidcation of the system.
Before I found out about the A320 I was intending on buying a PSP, is the TV out really that bad??
Hopefully the A320 will be better then.

Yeah draggin some AVI files onto the A320 and then connecting it up to the tv ASAP sounds like a plan, do you know if the device supports SDHC cards, I would be suprised if it didn't as almost every new device out nowdays that supports SD cards also supports SDHC cards.
For UMD films the TV out function on the psp works great but unfortunately game UMD's the quality isn't bad, but there is no option to enable full screen so its just basically the same size as your psp in the middle of your tv screen its a shame aswell as it looks fantastic on the tv when you first power on the psp. (the XMB looks really great)
But yeah if the main reason you were going to purchase a PSP was for emulating all the games that never had home console releases then I am sure something that is actually made to do that which is a lot cheaper than the psp would suit you a lot more, also I find that video files that have been converted to play on the psp don't play to well either.

Thats a bit stupid with the PSP for games...pretty much defeats the object of TV out then really doesnt??
I had heard that PSP encoded video files can be pretty shaky for playback which is another reason I'm glad the A320 is being released...only thing that could make it better for video would have been .MKV playback as well, maybe in the future
Apparantly it can accept SDHC cards but only upto 8GB still with the 4GB built in your looking at 12GB total which I'm sure will be more than enough
Thats the sole reasone really for wanting a PSP was games without home release so at the moment the A320 fits the bill...I'd like to see MAME on it at some point as well but it's not important as I do have a full set on my Modded X-Box 1 so it's a massive issue.

Thats not too bad, 12GB is okay, you never know they may release some sort of software in the future that will enable more memory, unless the max memory of course it is completely hardware based, but there is plenty of hackers out there
If I remember correctly arent MKV files quite large? you might not fit many on.
Playing mame on a handheld system would be AMAZING and if this system could handle it really well, then that would be a definite buy from me ( I don't really consider mame as emulation, as TBF most arcade version games were never ported exactly the same) as it is too much of a hassle playing MAME through YDL on my ps3.
From what I have heard/read, apparently sony are at the minute producing the PSP-2 and you never know that might have better TV out functions, but yeah the A320 does suit your needs quite well.
