I got my GCW Zero in the mail today and I am very satisfied with it! ReGBA however can't run Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland however. But still, the GCW is the best handheld I ever played!

I've just tested the EU version of it and seems to work flawlessly. I booted it up and start and walked around for a bit, nothing more though, but you're response seems to indicate it doesn't boot at all.
Are you using the latest ReGBA version (i.e. 1.45.3)?
Do you have the latest GCW0 firmware?

Thanks. I realized that bootleg roms don't work but official ones like the EU version do work. Thanks for your suggestion because I don't live in Europe and I didn't think of that.

There has been quite a bit of progress with the JXD S7800, I think fixed kernels have been released (by the community, not JXD) so you might wanna check what performance is like now as it will be different to what you hear on the rumour mill.

I don't know if you can play GCW on a TV yet, you will have to check on here for updates. I don't think analog out, HDMI out and USB OTG are working yet though.

JXD are no longer making consoles now btw, I suppose the same is true of GCW and company support was never great with either. You are probably better off checking out other brands and seeing what is due for upcoming release.

Thanks Lemmywinks and Zear!
Then I'll wait for any future releases. Has there been any news about new consoles?
I'm completley new to retro game consoles. I recently purchased a Dingoo A330 (withouth knowing about the existence of GCW or JXD) and was highly dissapointed when I got it. Felt very cheap and most of the games that I wanted to play (NES/SNES) ran very slow. It said you could connect it to a TV but it didn't work very well for me.

Because the company has nothing to do with the firmware. It is provided by developers from these very forums.

I was talking about hardware support, like people waiting months to have faulty unts fixed and GCW going silent on people. The firmware support for GCW here is great but the hardware side is severely lacking, pretty much no different to the Chinese companes.

It's the same with JXD et al, people here can fix software issues extremely quickly but hardware problems are a dead end.

We haven't heard of anyone not getting hardware support for a while now. Also, I think all of the people that were having that issue, got it resolved and now have their units back.

My SE "A" button broke so I emailed Justin Barwick and he got back to me within a couple of days(he's still recovering from being in the hospital) and he said he could fix my unit. He said he has someone that works on the units for him on a regular basis now. If I sent mine in he said that it would take 2-3 weeks. After all of the flack I've given him, he's still willing to fix my unit so I have to give him a bunch of credit for that.

So kewl... If you can... get both... then decide for yourself and sell the other... you'll loose only a few bucks in the process..

I have a son who loves the JXD and does not see how I prefer the GCW...?!!!  (I gave away my yinlips)  I have an android phone for android stuff... the quality makes a big difference for me... you would not believe how loud the buttons sound when there's some one in the room playing a button masher on the JXD.  The screen on the GCW also seems much more appropriate and truly portable!
