Go with Dingoo A320 one and truly king of the retro chinese handhelds  8) All other all just knock-offs. Good option IMO is also GameGadget is not so expensive got good producent support and construction and it's run Dingux (not with full support but maybe in the future)
Or wait for something far more powerful like this http://a320.emulate.su/2012/05/03/v-luchshix-kanonax-oldskula/

and about rest of handhelds: personally i don't like those Android based handhelds so i cannot advice you in this case cuz i wasn't interested in them. I hope someone else will come to put some light on them.

Cheers

Hi, I would like to buy some Dingoo Console.
On Deal Extreme i have found three models.
What model should I buy? Most important thing for me are emulating SNES and GBA.

Gemei A330 are really cheap but it's will be good choice?
Looking at more recent handhelds, I'd personally take a STRONG look at the JXD s601 or Yinlips YDPG16 as either will EASILY crunch any of the alternatives that you listed to simthereens and there are VERY good emulators for Android.  (I actually advocated Android/ARM(at least cortex-a8 based) many months ago given how well my smartphone and tablets emulate absolutely killing the pathetic A320.  That said the A320 is a fun hacking device and can adequately do SNES & GBA but the other options above are in the identical price range, i.e. makes the A320 a pointless "choice" as not only are these MUCH more powerful(do psx & n64 well on top) but you can also get access to 1000s of Android and FUN Android games, e.g. CyberKnights, Oubliette, Deadly Dungeon, StarTraders RPG, etc. ad nauseum.)

You could also look at the JXD s5110 capacitive touch and still close to the two above in price(HINT there's an 8% off code for willgoo in the relevant thread in "other consoles" forum.)

Going even more expensive yet is the Yinlips YDPG18A (5pt capacitive) which I'd been kicking around picking up along with one of the other 3 that I mentioned.  (Smartphone/tablets lack controller keys and carrying around bluetooth controllers is a hassle even though what I own outclasses the above ones that I listed by quite a bit.)

If battery life is important for you, forget the android consoles and go with the a320.

JXD s601 & Yinlips YDPG16 have been reported to be in the 6h and 5h runtime range for gaming.  I really don't think that the A320 or the other would last much longer under heavy gaming given the less power efficient SoC used in two of them and smaller batteries.

I pretty well expect that most of these Android/ARM based handheld consoles will last in the 5h range which is actually not too bad, but it'd be better IF they had user replaceable batts like just about every single smartphone, a few tablets tablets, and a few handheld consoles.

Also if you're deadset on less recent hw, there's also the gamegadget which has the Ingenics 4750 SoC which is SLIGHTLY better than what's in the Dingoo's w/MIPS SoCs.  (Would've been interested in this had they gone with the 1GHz Soc WITH a GPU... 4760? or maybe it was 4780? It's been so long that I looked at them that I've forgotten...)

GameGadget uses the Ingenic 4755 not 4750
