Linux Ported To Dingoo A320

Busshy writes "Linux has arrived on the Dingoo A320, a portable console that was recently released in Asia (bundled with emulators for 16-bit consoles) which looks like the bottom half of a DS Lite. It also has an XMB that closely resembles those that PSP and PS3 owners are used to. Homebrew Coders have already ported ScummVM and PRBoom (Doom Engine) to Dingoo Linux."

    The manufacturer's English website. The unofficial English support site.

    I don't know...I've sourced a lot of products from China, and this looks like a typical shoddy product from a fly-by-night shanzhai manufacturer. That, combined with the rampant disrespect for IPR by including ROM files - well, just don't be surprised when your nice product breaks mysteriously after 3-6 months. Or it gives you an electric shock, or the buttons fall off, or your fingertips turn green from the unsuitable plastic on the buttons.

    How much do these go for? If someone wants a thousand or two, I could get an order together. I have a buddy down in Shenzhen who can make sure we don't get screwed by the shanzhai manufacturer.
