The Dingoo A320 is another device that flat out refuses to die, I think this one is from 2010 and it holds a charge on the internal battery for years at a time while it's powered off.

Was dingux the the origin of this launcher? I keep seeing it on a whole bunch of more recent cheap retro consoles.



Isn't this the handheld they used for the neo geo x?

Where's my fellow Tapwave Zodiac owners? Gotta be at least two others out there.

Annoyingly I had one of these but sold it back in the day. Kept my various Palm/Sony Clie devices that I had before it but that’s the one I wish I still had in my collection.

The Miyoo Mini (the smaller one) is back!

But there's a catch - the new screen they found is a 750x560 screen that the existing firmware treats like a 640x480 screen, so you're essentially scaling the image twice, once to 640 and then again to 750 so it looks kinda funny if you look closely.

No, the Neo Geo X was larger, with a widescreen (for some reason) and a click stick instead of a d-pad

Pretty sure if you actively decide to get a Zodiac you’re just going to end up with a Gizmondo and N-Gage at some point.

I was talking to a friend of mine about dingux the other day and I'm kinda nostalgic for the look of it because I didn't want to bother with custom firmware when I first got my RG350 way back when (I was a fool). It's not good but it's got the look

I had one of the transparent analogue pockets in my cart before having a brief flash of lucidity where I realized I already had one and closed the window before I could buy it despite wanting a clear one since the original models were announced. 30 minutes later my friend told me he'd have bought my old one from me. Fug.

I mean... it would be funny if they announced something that would make me want to unload the Transparent Analogue Pocket that hasn't even shipped for me yet.

I'm still on the fence on keeping mine - it would definitely be the best experience for GBA games and earlier, and I like the form factor, but I can get an Odin Pro for the same price. I know the Odin is completely different form factor with different use-cases, but it's definitely something that I've thought about.

If they actually made a high quality 3:2 (or whatever it was) GBA flippy thing I would poo poo.

I love tons of retro consoles but the GBA was so ahead of its time. So many metroidvanias and strategy games that kicked insane amounts of rear end.

Maybe Analogue is looking to make a consolized OpenFPGA compatible system and that's what the announcement is about.

It’s the RGB30. A 1:1 handheld the internet seems to love. If I didn’t just get a RP2S I’d want one.

Yeah it's a kickass device. There is some work to be done on JelOS to make the default settings function a little bit better but with tweaks it works great. As it is, the CPU clock governor is set to a default that kneecaps framerate just a little bit, but it's a quick change in settings (change the CPU governor from "schedutil" to "performance" per console). It's got an RK3566 chip so everything thru 5th gen consoles runs smooth as butter. ArkOS defaults to "performance" for all consoles so it's quicker by default, but with that fix applied both distributions perform comparably.
