i think GB and GBC emulator is not slowed down... it is actually a bit faster then normal... so we have to make it a bit slower...

That's why I'm testing the Gameboy emulator at 216MHz and the Gameboy Color at 344MHz. The Gameboy Color seems to be running very good at 344MHz. The Gameboy Color seems to be running to slow at 216MHz.

actually i compared to a jxd 1000B game player... it is playing those games very nice and sound also good.... but in our dingoo they are a bit faster, so it making us to play like an olympic runner... :-[

Can you compare the Gameboy emulator with the game Galaga & Galaxian on your JXD 1000B with a video from YouTube. I would like to know if the JXD 1000B runs the game slower than what you see on YouTube. You can compare it with this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7CGfYwj4GE

If I slow down the Gameboy emulator on the Dingoo A-380 it runs slower compared to what I see in that video.

yes... i compared to that video... jxd 1000b playing exactly same...

so that will be the required speed for GB emulator...

but dingoo is tooo fast ::)

when you slowed down the GB emulator, try to tweak the frame skip option to make it a little bit faster..
but now i think the frame skip option not working and it returns back to 0..

It was worth a try but it didn't work. To slow down the Gameboy emulator it has to run at 216MHz but than it runs to slow.  :(

Oh, c'mon, guys... It's a bad practice.
It's easier to adapt gnuboy to a380 than to try to tweak the untweakable! :)
And that is what most probably I'm going to do after I finish gui for handy_sdl.

You're right. Enough with the bad practice on the Dingoo A-380.  ;D

Excellent work on the custom firmware.  My A380 is running much better already and the new emulators are great.

My only  problem is the options for all of the original emulators are in Chinese now.  How can I get that changed to English?  All the menus are in English so I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks in advance.

The firmware image is the unbricking tool. Full format the MicroSD card and try to write it again.

Edit: Try the RESET button. Maybe this makes it work again.

It should be detected but maybe the file system is corrupt. Try with check disk to repair it on your computer or a full format.
