Thanks dingoo, for the nice link. 

that's my theory, but at least they seem to have put a transmitter into the thing aswell this time, so there's at least some form of 2 way communication.  though that would mean you can never have more than 2 players at once, as it'll royally screw things over, or something like that

I suppose their "dual 2.4GHz wireless" means that they simply put in 2 two of these modules, one working as transmitter the other as receiver.
but why do you think the receiver can't handle more than one handheld's data stream?

anyway, sure it isn't hard to make the multiplayer mode of home consoles work on 2 gemeis.
the host-gemei could simply transmit the screen to the 2nd one, while the 2nd one works as wireless controller.

but that wouldn't work for gba-games...   
so i can only hope they've also made the gba-emu work for multi-play.

So does this have wifi? or am i confused?

It has wireless communication in the form of onboard transmitters and receivers similar to the way the "fake" A330 did for the controller. Dingoo, thanks for the link to the review - I posted it on my blog and credited you for the find, hope that's alright.

No problem, mate! I've translated it into portuguese to publish it in Dingoo Brasil (thanks for difuno helped me in the translation) and I have the english translation. If you want I send you the english translation.

translation pls!!

if theres a review it means its out over there in china?? or coming out soon

Thanks dingoo, for the nice link.

Because in the dingoo a330, the receiver is simply tacked onto the input gpio pins, this is all still speculation of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm correct, and then they will have at the most connected the receiver to some spare gpios, and the transmitter to the buttons.

This kind of thing comes in premade pairs, that can simply be dropped into a circuit to make it wireless, they handle all of the io for you, so you just have to connect buttons one end, and use the output the other end, exactly as you would if there was just a wire connecting them

(source: I'm an electronic engineer :p)

Maybe you're right.
I still can't see where your theory demonstrates obstacles, but I have to admit I'm no electronic engineer , not at all  

all depends what's being used really, some chips are setup so you give them a unique id, and then send commands to a specific chip, most (cheap ones that is) are just built as pairs, and if you simply added another one nearby it would screw things over royally (if someone has 2 dingoo a330s, see what happens when you try to use the controller pretty please )

edit: booya! 800 pointless ramblings XD

oh man the more i read about the caanoo the more i want it,  now im just trying to justify whether i should wait for the gemei a330 or buy a gp2x canoo (which costs a bit more)

oh the dillemma ...

oh the dillemma ...

depends on whether we get linux on the gemei a330 or not, i suppose, right?
(well okay, the release-date plays also a role, of course (i suppose) )
I think to replace the d-pad with an analog nub was nonsense for an primarily 2D retro-gaming-console like the caanoo...
Yeah gibberish, the covered pixels are really a ridiculous and (for gph) embarrassing mistake...

My dingoo was stolen a while ago, so I really need a new toy...
But if we really get linux on gemei a330 the only thing better on the caanoo will be the touchscreen.
But there are so much games to play with no mouse-input, I would soon overcome that miss.

I think it looks fantastic and can't wait to get hold of one. I'll be buying one the day they become available.

I really hope this is what it seems to be, it would make my day. The A320 was so close to perfection, perhaps this A330 can bring us a little closer.

The ON/OFF button is a great improvement IMHO.
No need to reset when the OS crashed.

what if we need to reset? theres no more hole to poke into!

we might be stuck and have to wait for the battery to drain - that sucks!

I really can't decide. The decision is not whether to get it or not, but if I should get the black or white one

Yea I'm registered, it was quite some time ago, but I don't remember any problems.

I'm registered too, but it's useless. I still can't see the "hidden content"-videos and stuff...

Not sure if all content is handled the same way, but what I've seen you have to reply to the thread to be able to download the file in the first post. So just reply with some smilie or something.

Today I found another interesting thing.
