I can assure you that the unit is hackable. I have played it first hand, and that I've seen much more than just Genesis games run on it. However I can't really offer much more advice than that for now. This also includes the US version of the http://www.dascheap.com/game-gadget-portable-emulator.html as well.

I can reasonably say that once this gets into the right hands, that this will be a Dingoo killer.

Yeah. Just like the A320e and A380 are dingoos (A320) killers.

Yeah right, and I don't think that it's ever going to be in the right hands because they don't care about the GameGadget. The GCW Zero looks promising but i don't think it's going to replace the Dingoo A-320 as well.

So does having Open Dingux on this make it worth getting? I'd love something that can do what the A320 does, only with a bigger screen.

I don't think so. I think that you'll be better off with a GCW Zero if you like something that can do the same as the Dingoo A-320 and want a bigger screen.

Hi everyone!

I really want to have a hackable handheld console, to be able to write my own games and play with those on a handheld console. (I've already written an RTS in C with SDL, so I only need a suitable hardware)
I've heard about GCW Zero, which is awesome, I even backed their Kickstarter project, but $130 seems a bit too much for me. (I can't pay that much for a handheld)
But a GameGadget can be bought for only £32 on eBay, which is very low price.
What do you think? Should I buy one? I really want to have a handheld, and I even have Linux experience (since I was using it for years), but I didn't do anything like this (flashing games, tuning firmware, etc.)

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, I thought about Dingoo, but it's around $100, what I can't really afford.
And if I could, I would rather buy a GCW Zero, it's just $30+ more.

Hmm, I don't know what to do... I really want a handheld console which is capable of running my own games.

The GameGadget is no worse than a Dingoo, and it's about 1/2 the price. Using the Sandbox, you can run Dingux and OpenDingux, and it's an excellent developer console. I ported two games to it, and had no issues doing so (SDL runs nicely):

Now, if you're talking about the original price and the promised games, I can agree. But, it's 1/4 of the original price and they were smart enough to include the sandbox mode.

All depends on wether you like giving money to a company that treats it's customers (that's you) with utter contempt or not I guess.
If people can find a use for a console they were mis-sold then that's great, but supporting a company that acts like they did (Blaze or Xploder, both used underhand tactics and lied) is not really a good thing to do. As far as I'm concerned the more unsold Game Gadgets they still have in their warehouses the better.
