Ugh. Why is everyone complaining about shipping? My only complaint is that it's not October 1st yet. Duty fees and whatnot aren't that big of a deal, and I'd rather gcw not get in any trouble by doing anything shady. Gift, $60, sounds fair to me. Don't mean to sound like a dick, but you guys DO have jobs right? You CAN afford devices like this and dingoos and caanoos, stop filling the forums with complaints about shipping already. What's an extra couple bucks at the end of the day? And won't it be worth it when you finally get to play with the zero?
I DO have a job, I CAN afford a device like this but I DON'T WANT customs office to send it back because some small detail is not as they say it's supposed to be

@ Orion4874  nope contest not cancelled and we will ship them a couple days before we ship the SE as for payment I prefer before Sept 15th. I can cover a few people who are late on final payment for this run but not all.

Once paypal gets around to finishing my funds transfer I can pay the invoice.  >:(

 I transferred the money on Sat. and it takes 3-5 business days.  It says it is supposed to clear today so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. As if waiting for Oct. 1st isn't making me anxious enough. I'll feel much better when I can get this paid.

Good question maybe ask GCW... but after all it is a prototype or maybe the kernel reads it as that, did you notice in the video it was clocked @ 336Mhz...

Yes, I noticed that it's clocked at 336MHz. The Dingoo A-380 also runs at 336MHz for the open-source emulators and games. It's possible to change that if necessary but none of the open-source emulators or games that I'm running on my Dingoo A-380 needs it higher than 336MHz. The Dingoo A-380 original emulators and the new emulators from d_smagin are running with the CPU clocked at 432MHz.


clocking the hugo emu higher will help it rendering games at full screen though

Does anyone plan to buy a standard edition on-top of the S.E. ? I'm thinking about it.

The way I read that (I could be wrong, correct me if someone knows for sure) is that it will not have touch screen hardware, but the analog nub will be sending out signals as if you were operating a touch screen analog stick like the ones you see on other systems with touch screen analog controls (i.e.- tablets).

So the system will trick the emulator into thinking the touch screen analog stick is being used, when it's actually a physical analog stick. Pretty clever.

Edit: Also, yes, I do see that we don't have playable true analog yet, whomever Qbertaddict was chatting with (It sounds like GCW, since he decided if Q could release word on the forum, but not enough info to say that for sure) is going to start making the driver. I'm wishing them the best of luck on this important task.
Everything you said is correct.

About the analog stick: the chat log says that the analog stick is wired where touchscreen use to be wired. That does not mean that the device has a touchscreen. That does not mean that the analog stick will act as a touchscreen. That just means it's wired there. For the applications, it will be seen as a standard joystick device.

About the 336 MHz frequency you can see on GMenu2X: currently the GCW0 kernel does not support underclock / overclock, so everything demoed runs at 1 GHz. I believe this feature will be added on a future OS upgrade, post-release.

So despite GMenu2X saying that it's running at 336MHz, it's actually running at 1GHz?

Then to get to Canada it'll take less than a week, typically. I can't wait!
