MAME Ported To the Dingoo A320

Posted by Soulskill on from the seven-people-are-thrilled dept.

Busshy writes "Slaanesh has released a port of MAME for the Dingoo A320 (the console that comes with GBA, SNES, CPS1 and Megadrive emulators built-in), with support for thousands of old arcade games. You will have to install Dingoo Linux to be able to use MAME on the Dingoo. Some tutorial videos are available."

    I thought this was a re-posting of the same story - but it is not. The one that I thought it was is Linux on the Dingoo A320.

    I have not seen much of the Dingoo devices on the Internet at all.

      If you want to buy one here you go.

      There's also a nice little commmunity on GP32X.com where you can download programs and ask for help.

  2. What a little more relaxed copyright can achieve by iamacat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We will never see a device with this variety of games - and this variety of games that older, more affluent gamers already know - in US. Instead companies are holding on to - or neglecting - old copyrights where they could be making decent money from products they haven't touched for 20 years. We need a system that only supports copyright owners who do something about their creation. Much shorter duration (that gets reset for derivative works, such as port to a new platform) and compulsory licensing of commercially abandoned products would do wonders for both creativity and wallets.

    Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are making plenty of money selling their old games as console downloads

    Not the highly-demanded titles. You'll probably never see Earthbound on Virtual Console, and the commonly given reason is that it would take too long to clean out all the Beatles references. Sony, maker of PlayStation gaming products, owns half the publishing interest in the Beatles catalog.

    No, it's on Slashdot because it's something people like me are intersted in, and it's..uh...news. I'd never even heard of this thing before, and now I want one. It's always easier to move your finger slightly to scroll past something you're not interested in than to bother posting something irrelevant.

      Everything is so automated that the pilots were getting bored. In fact much of the conversion work was done on the stupefying London - New York redeye.

    And really, copyright is intended to promote the production of new works, it's not intended to guarantee an eternal payoff from old works.

    And showering is intended to make me clean, not make me wet.

    It never occured to you that it does the former by doing the latter?

    It's a pretty cheap and cool little product. GP32X.com has a pretty good forum too.
