Review of the A380
Frank_fjs:
Dingoo Digital A320 is my handheld of choice. Overall I still think it provides the best emulation experience, even if it doesn't have the features or hardware grunt of the newer devices. The software library and tools available for it really help it to outperform most of these newer devices that have been coming out.
A smart company would simply produce an A320 with extra RAM and a faster CPU that was still compatible with the current range of A320 software. So sick of seeing pointless features that add to the cost of the product significantly yet provide little actual benefit. Gyro sensors, wide screens with stupid resolutions for retro gaming etc, what a waste.

It's known that dingoo a320 default emulators WERE stolen from gpSP etc. Why it worked with a320 and it doesn't work with a380?

Personally, it doesn't bother me. It's the developers of said software that are upset. The difference between the A380 and A320 is that the A320 didn't steal the software from people in this scene (PMP scene), that's probably how they got away with it, so to speak.

Anyway I think that because DT is lazy only changes they made were related to screen and then just compiled it with their SDK...

Couldn't agree w/ you more. Except for one thing. The A320's build quality is bad. Things on it break too easily. Meaning you have to buy a new one every once in a while. And that new LCD screen that renders all kinds of Linux kernels and unbrick tools useless. Brrrrr. I cannot buy me a new Dingoo now. Dunno which screen I'll get!
So I like the concept of an A320 like machine w/ Dinux support out of the box and improved build quality. But this flavour of Dingux? And for this price? Wouhar! 8)

I hear your concerns!
I have spoken to Dingoo Tech on MSN (good old Mark Zhu - is a nice guy) I told them to read this forum.
We all want the Dingoo products to get better so if they got more involved in the community side of things we could all be happy.
Anyway thanks for the comments guys plenty of food for thought! Dingoo Tech are actually going to have a meeting about this so who knows? maybe this means good new for all of us?
I will let you know if I hear anything else.
Suggestion for Dingoo Tech would be: heal the rift with the community by working together and tailor a product directly for the market. They are reasonable people so im sure everything will be fine :)
