New guy here with a380 questions
phattacorider:
First of all, I'm new to the entire open source world. In fact, the only understanding I have with emulation is on PC and android (and with android, it's downloading the emulator and ROMs and pretending I'm 7 years old again). Anywho, I recently purchased an a380. I needed something small yet could play primarily GBA, GBC, GB, MD, SNES, and NES ROMs. So far, I like this system except the NES emulator is very sluggish, I'd say the games play at half speed. the other emulators play at a decent speed, slightly choppy on certain games. It will not play Star Fox or Super Mario RPG. The games will open, but the unit will stall out and I'll have to shut it off. Other than those issues, the system works acceptably.
Now please forgive me. I do understand there is a search button, and I do understand how to use it. It's just taken me a long while to get any time to look anything up on this device. I'm Army active duty and a father and I have very little time for myself anymore, except at work which will be occupied by my a380 whenever I have any downtime. If anyone can give me any pointers, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm confident in my abilities to do any kind of software modifications, including debugging and hardware accelerations like processor overclocking, so don't be timid to suggest anything. Thanks in advance!
By the way, it says version V2.0016 and the navigation seems set up sorta like the PSP.

hello phattacorider,
a380 is a nice device but it is not accurate... nes is slow and gb,gbc are too fast... but since it is open sourced console, we hope things may change in future... other emulators working fine but not up to scratch the hardware..
there is a firmware upgrade and some open source emulators....

but you need to spend some time on internet to get required files and games...

but i hope it is possible in future...
Waiting...:
:( Should have gotten an A320.
The A380 is an A320 with inferior software sold for $20 more. And is made by a bunch of lying douche bags (Dingoo Tech).
Says it's defective and send it back. :P Use the money to get an A320 (or wait for the upcoming GCW). ;)
