How does this do compared to the RS-97 ?
Any idea on compatibility for this device, FBA, MAME etc etc
Thanks
ace
Post by: adventureFAN on March 15, 2019, 09:11:28 pm
I think it is more or less the same compatibility of the RS-97.
I want to see more YouTube-Reviews...

My favorit emulation handheld so far ist the GPD XD.
But I buy recently a "GameBoy Pi A+"... omg, I'm so exited!
But here on Dingoonity is no section for Raspberry Pi-Devices?

There are so many good Raspberry Pi-devices on the market. From comercial products to DIY-devices... and all are wonderfull for retrogaming.

A Xperia Play for 60 Bucks? Where I can get it?

Note this is not condoning this particular seller, but there are several listed in the $60ish range. They list as refurbished, but appear to be brand new (plastic on the device, etc.)

And CyanogenMod you can upgrade to Android 6.0.
Hmmm... really a good option.
Post by: cloudstr on March 17, 2019, 09:04:19 am
I'm wondering if upgrading to Android 6.0 will give a signifcant boost to performance, emulators like Snes or N64 which the PSP struggling? If so then a brand new Xperia Play is a must buy here.
Post by: gameblabla on March 17, 2019, 02:15:55 pm
That is in the same price range as a used PSP 3000, which is selling in local stores where I live.Android 4.4+ would make it much slower because it eats so much memory and the Xperia only has 512Mb.

Java was a mistake.
Ideally this should get a CFW like the RS-97, and while that's technically possible, (kernel source code was made available i think and Freedreno should support the 3D GPU) no one made the effort to do just that.

The coolest thing (besided the premium psp-go like build quality) is how you can package psx images to play on your xperia play :)

There are also communities like sudomod who exist for this reason alone... Have fun with your GameBoy Pi, I just recently finished my first Gameboy zero build and I am contemplating of building a Gameboy CM3+ (using Kite's circuit sword)...... expensive, but very tempting ;D

Google "Atto Drive Xperia". It's stripped down to nothing but emulators. Everything's preconfigured, just drop your roms in and go.

These are great devices and i can honestly say i much prefer this over the RS97 now.What do you find better on the LDK?
Also the power switch, can you just turn it off or do you need to power it down through software first like the Bittboy CFW?
Post by: gameblabla on March 22, 2019, 08:47:53 am
Also the power switch, can you just turn it off or do you need to power it down through software first like the Bittboy CFW?It's RS-97 based so you can just turn it off like that. It's a bit more resilient to improper shutdowns but i would still recommend you shut it down properly still. Though unlike the RS-97, the power switch can't be used as a button unlike the RS-97 so some emulators will require some changes.
Btw, just got my LDK and it feels pretty good. The Dpad is also good though the shoulder buttons are awkwardly placed.
I would not recommend the LDK if you rely on the L & R buttons a lot but otherwise it's a solid console.
It is also fairly easy to disassemble and the internal sd card is easily accessible, you simply have to remove the battery.

Sorry about my ignorance. I'm still new here. I'm about to buy wether this new LDK or New Bittboy or the RS-97 but I don't know which one is recommended. I've been holding myself not to buy the New Bittboy because of several issues such as weird screen scrolling lag when playing pokemon gbc game, also I heard that it doesn't allow local save or in game saves.
Quick questions, is something bad happens if i just turn it off like that without shut it down from menu?
Also this is probably the dumbest question. I saw the New Bittboy's menu in this link https://www.instagram.com/p/BvBh2sRFecX/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/BvBh2sRFecX/) looks similar to opendingux. Also at the very end, it has the shutdown menu. (so, I pull the previous question for this context too)
Another question, last one, I promise, and sorry about my ignorance. Does Bittboy with the current CFW allows local saves or in game saves? I'm sure there must be a way to do in game saves just like Odroid Go with the LRAS button combo to create .sav file.
Sorry sorry sorry for the rapid questions. I would be very grateful to death if someone can provide me some information about this.

I have compiled some of my emulators over there and it's the best handled of this kind so far (along with the RS-97, same hardware) performance wise.
The Bittboy is pretty terrible honestly. The CFW tries to improve on this but steward is struggling with tearing on those. The OFW also has tearing.
Ingame saves are supported on the CFW but the OFW firmware does not support this and emulator on the OFW is also very poor.
What kills the bittboy is the ghostkey hardware flaw. Basically if you press a combination of buttons, it will either trigger other buttons on the console or not do anything at all. This is because they cheaped out on the console, really.

The GUI is GmenuNx, which is also used on the LDK/RS-97.

I'm so confused because I found this https://github.com/TriForceX/New-Bittboy-CFW/blob/master/Bug-Reporting.md (https://github.com/TriForceX/New-Bittboy-CFW/blob/master/Bug-Reporting.md) and it says "Roms can't save ingame. Its only possible through menu save states"
I think I already know the answer, just want to make sure. Honestly I've been looking for the answer everywhere. Youtube, reddit, and other sources, but i just can't find the answer or no one is talking about this issue. I assume everyone is just saying the (OFW) New Bittboy doesn't support ingame saves.
To be honest LDK is a bit pricey for me. I probably gonna save 20 bucks and snag that bittboy but again, looking at its flaws, meh. I guess we get what we get.

The LDK is actually a great device now Steward and i have helped some devs get it we can see our great support we have on both the RS97 and LDK systems now and make RetroFW a master piece thanks to the developers and the community :) it would never be possible without working together :)
I do love the formfactor of the LDK, much prefer to the RS-97. I have an original RS-97 but think i may pickup an LDK, just wondered though...do you think it will ever be possible to get a more user friendly front end (like py menu) for it?
Also i'm sure this is probably unlikely but will it ever be possible to have the same exit button config for every emulator? Drives me up the wall trying to exit these emulators with different button configs for each one.
Also does this unit have a Audio jack? Do you just use A/V Port for audio? Shame its on the top.
Post by: wen_nug on March 25, 2019, 01:49:38 pm
Quick questions:
1. If I put roms in the internal memory card, will it interfere the software?
2. Can I use another BL-5C battery with higher mAh? Will the hardware able to handle?

This device review appeared on my youtube suggestion out of nowhere couple of days ago. After that youtube review, I check out Aliexpress, there were about 5 shops selling this. Now it fills a whole page when you look for "LDK" there.
Looks like everyone got hyped up with this device.
To me, this is exactly what I'm looking for, apart it's missing 2 shoulder buttons and 2 joysticks, but for older 16 bit and arcade games 6 buttons would be enough. 3D PS1 games don't run good on this thing. But I'm not a fan of PS1 games anyway.
Also they use standard smartphone battery BL-5C, correct? I can find those batteries here very cheap everywhere. probably buy 2-3 of them for replacements.
And standard microUSB for charging!
Now that is ACE.
This is certainly the device I would buy.
But couple of question
Where do you get the firmware? Is it still actively maintained? Is there any other alternative firmware for this?
And just to confirm the battery is standard Nokia's dumbphone BL-5C battery, and the jack is microUSB?
thanks in advance!
Post by: adventureFAN on April 10, 2019, 10:39:28 am
...1. Yes, BL-5C.
2. Here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/ingenic-jz4760-devices/ldk-retrogame/
3. No, only stock firmware
4. Yes, BL-5C and yes, it is MicroUSB.

Sweet! Thanks. Bookmarking
Also, there seems to be multiple brands selling this device.
Retromimi is one, and Coolbaby (I recognize this as a smartphone brand). 60 bucks is quite affordable for a compact device with modifiable firmwares like this. I'm getting one next month.
Anyway for those who owns both colors, which one is better in terms of feel and durability (at least from your estimation)? I figure the clear one is much more fragile than the yellow one.

holy smokes it runs Quake 2 smoothly
I figure most other Linux ports games would run on this thing
Imagine playing Brutal Doom on this 8)
[edit 2]
Ordered yellow one right away. Seems that everyone (at leas ton the aliexpress shop's feedbacy) prefer the clear case.

No way I'm gonna shell out another 60.

quake (and quake 2 on my previous post)
For DN3D and Quake I don't know how many times I played the ports.
I'm kind of excited of Jazz though, I haven't got a chance to touch any of them completely.
BTW any word of how Brutal Doom would run on this thing? I'm fine with lower resolutions, since it would just add to the cool old school aesthetic.

I don't mean to discourage you but these niche device isn't for the casuals and the faint of heart.
It requires A LOT of work to squeeze out every potential it have; i.e. you're willing to invest tinkering with it, lots of trial and error, go back and forth within the community, scouring every bits and pieces of information.
That's just the surface. You haven't gone to Mame and its weird romsets (one romset won't work with a mame version). My guess that's one of the main reason why these devices won't go mainstream.
You'll have more things to tweak than just the theme. If you willing to do that you'll have one very versatile retro console that plays thousands of games.
Now I have probably about 5000 games in my LDK, ranging from 8bit up to arcades and all working flawlessly.
So, you currently have tons of readings to do.

Mode 7 games don't run at full speed. That would include Mario Kart. Others I've tried are F-zero and Run Saber (runs mighty fine until mode 7 kicks in).
Super FX chip games also suffers from slowdowns. Starfox and Yoshi's Island.
There's overclocking options in RetroFW but I haven't tried it and not intend to.
cheers.

Oh really? I thought only PS1 games would be slow on this, I expected all those Nintendo games to work flawlessly. I think once I run the updates and download a ton of games, I?ll be more excited lol I just don?t know what games are out there. I?ll start from the basics

New firmware will be released soon
Any procedure to upgrade from previous version? Or do we have to reflash the SD?
Just asking. If it require reflashing the SD I'm fine with it.
Also, is there any way to customize the boot logo? I've looked inside the Linux partition but not exactly sure what I'm looking for lol :)
Thanks for the great work BTW

I haven?t flashed a thing so far, so should I wait on yours?, my console is still brand new, and a bit confused of the instructions

It runs sweet, but there will be missing buttons
Quake 1 fits the 6 buttons scheme perfectly
L/R = look up/down
ABXY = jump, shoot, next weapon, run or strafe/sidestep (if always run option is active)
But quake 2 controls added crouch, inventory (next/prev and use) and mission/help
What would be the ideal settings for Quake 2? Start/select obviously out of question and the suspend button cannot be mapped.
Also, FBAlpha and SuperSNES key map is the most ideal for this device. Suspend for quitting the game, thus all 6 buttons are properly utilize for games only.

It's already on his website. It's not much different than the previous RetroFW, so if you're happy with the stock/previous RetroFW then you shouldn't flash it.

I did not bother to tweak the controls much beyond that as getting it to run at all took me a year on the RS-97/LDK.

Wow dude, you did most of the games huh? Great job!
Yes I know it's bindable, but the inventory buttons are somewhat critical. As far as I can remember, there's quad damage and rebreather that needs to be activated (there's a long underwater level somewhere).
But it's running sweet anyway so that's just just minor complain. It's MORE THAN playable nevertheless. So when it's time to use the inventory the mapped buttons can be bind to the inventory use/cycle, then switched back.
I suppose 12 buttons (standard dual shock 3, L3 and R3) are the most ideal/bare minimum for Q2.
Thanks for the game!

This is done and thanks for the help. As for games, we have to download them all right? The10GB firmware just has the 25 games build in I?m guessing.

The only consoles that run OpenDingux are the Dingoo A320, the GCW Zero and the RetroMini RS-90.
And if it's open-source, where can I download the sources of the bootloader?

Don't take this seriously. It is "china marketing" =PThe console is from China but the website is Jutley's (I think).

I think he become some bucks for it.

Buy LDK Landscape now here
https://retromimi.com/collections/all
Sweeeeet! I might get this. Glad I didn't bought the transparent LDK1.
Hardware and everything else is excellent. Landscape mode is probably more easier to handle. LDK1 shell's build quality definitely can be improved.
Just worry about the joystick. Would be good for vertical/side scrolling shoot em up. Dpad on LDK1 is pretty good for fighting games. Any comments on the joystick?
Also, still uses BL-5C and micro USB right? And what about the LR buttons, do they fix it?
(https://i.ibb.co/RDCtbcY/IMG-20190525-211158.jpg)
Oh I won't mind the aluminum case on it too, as long as the problems from the LDK1 aluminum case fixed on this one.

or there will be a new cwf build for the LDK Landscape?

Thats a really good price. However some one on youtube did a review on this device and he said the screen was pixel looking. He said it was not very good compared to the LDK.
I have the LDK Vertical and RG300 on hand to compare.
Same:
-Both have cheap TN screens, installed with polarization isoclines running horizontally. The panels are well visible from the left, above, and to the right. They exhibit strong characteristic TN gamma shift when viewed from below. The effect is noticeable at only ~3 degrees and becomes very strong by 15 degrees, rendering dark, moody games unplayable at that angle.
-Both have 320x480 RGB-Delta panels with non square pixels. Same style of panel used in the RS-97 etc. The RGB-Delta subpixels create a zig-zag effect on straight vertical or horizontal lines. I don't think any current software actually draws out 320x480 independent pixels, so the effective resolution is 320x240.
Different:
- The LDK panel has the same resolution but is slightly smaller, so it ends up at a higher DPI. Perhaps this is the less "pixel looking" that guy was talking about, not going to watch the video.
- The LDK panel seems to have higher brightness, contrast ratio, and color gamut. I don't currently have a setup that can measure this though, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I haven't really tested time-domain performance, but nothing jumps out at me. I think they're both 60hz vsync with acceptable response time. I'm not picky about those things though, so maybe ask someone else.
The LDK is the clear winner, for the above reasons. They both have the same flaws, but LDK is more vibrant.
They really fucked up on the RG300's lcd panel... this thing kinda sucks. It's reasonable for a <=$35 USD device and not acceptable at all at ~$60+. We'll see how the general price trend goes in the months to come. A basic edition at <$35 shipped and a deluxe version with IPS at ~$60 could rescue the device, as far as I'm concerned.
(note: most people don't hate TN screens as bad as I do... maybe it's okay for you.)
Steward's teardown included an IPS screen, but I don't know if it shipped that way (bait and switch!!!) or he put it in after the fact. The screen from his teardown appears to be the same as the panel in the RS-97 2Anniversary IPS edition - LKWY030C02 V2.
Wish I could buy LKWY screens as a westerner...
