Blur for the 360. A friend brought it over and I played it last weekend and it's so stupid I love it. Had to buy it. Bye life!

My Dingoo arrived, hurrah. Black one, liek this one:

Already installed Linux and tested OC abilities - looks like it runs stable @430mhz

Have to improve my barely-existing knowledge of console gaming now.

Dingux Installation's a piece of cake and basically boils down to:

1. Plugging your console to the PC in flashing mode and installing Dingoo drivers in windows
2. Running dual-boot install utility on windows while Dingoo's plugged in (make sure you're using proper hwinit file for your display version)
3. Format SD card and copy bunch of files to it.

Might be even easier on Linux/Mac. 15 minutes and you have working dual boot system - holding down select button while powering up Dingoo will boot Linux up off your SD card. Native system's still in its place and will boot normally when switching the console on usual way.

I've installed the local pack which is an awesome, tidy package of all the cool stuff: fuckton of emulators, homebrew games, classic game ports and utils. Also - swapped the kernel (zImage file)with one from here - fixes the "hang up on power off" bug and adds useful reset by button combination function.

There's a lot more emulators than on Native system - from really oldschool stuff like Atari 2600/5200/7800, Colecovision consoles, ZX Spectrum, C64, MSX and bunch of other 8 bit computers, through Atari ST, Amiga to the DosBox and PS1 (though I wouldn't expect much after the 32 bit ones - they really need a stronger hardware to shine). Of course there are ports of all the usual 8/16bit gaming devices: all the Segas, Nintendos, PC Engines and arcade machines. I think only emulator that Dingux lacks and that exists on native system is Atari Lynx.

Interface has handful of cool features. Aside of grouping apps in tabs, every application has it's own overclocking, LCD brightness and audio volume (yeah, lack of volume slider's annoying) settings. Performance wise - so far checked the Atari800 (pretty much flawless), Amiga (well, often choppy even after overclocking, but many games are playable - oddly enough, the same games run super fast in their SNES or Sega versions on respective emulators), Sega Genesis (looks and runs awesome) and SNES (briefly, but looked very okay). The ports I managed to check like Doom or Wolfenstein 3D ran good too.

One thing I ommited completely is media player functionality - no idea how good it's for movies or music. There's mplayer on it, but I don't have any media files there to check it.

I'll be curious about your media player assessment because I've been using it primarily as an NES emulator and mp3 player, and both are okay if not amazing, but I do really enjoy listening to my tunes on my way to work in the morning :P

Remember Dingux is installed totally separately from the stock system - just reboot the thing and use the original player.

Checked that anyway, for SCIENCE. Dinux GMU player works okay, forget about fancy EQs and whatnots though, it's pretty basic.
