Linux Ported To Dingoo A320

Posted by Soulskill on from the it-slices-it-dices dept.

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."

    what's with the link going to a forum and code.google.com page? No links to the Dingoo A320? I mean sure I can google it but a link to a photo and description would be nice

      You know, there are other search engines other than google out there. They've got an official site. However, as a fly-by-night Chinese manufacturer, they wouldn't meet Wikipedia's notability standards. It took me all of 5 seconds to locate the information. Google has a huge bias against dual-language sites, and a huge hard-on for Wikipedia. I'm reminded of the ignorant Jedi librarian who said if it didn't exist in their index, there was no possibly of it existing in reality.

      That says more about Wikipedia than it does about the official site.
