Can someone (whos owned it) please clarify whether it accepts normal SD cards or a proprietary format?
I live in brazil, and TecToy (Segas representative in brazil) has launched this over here, and also they are selling preloaded game cards called MD cards. Problem is, it costs 140 R$ to buy the console, and 25+ R$ for the MD cards. not to mention the games on the cards arent even mega drive ...
Oh hey! i just remembered, a while ago Dealextreme launched a controller
that hooked up to the TV that accepted normal SD cards for ROMs! the roms
had to be loaded on to the built-in 64? megabytes but it emulated them
fine. This could just be one of those with a screen and a rechargeable
battery! I hope so. BTW: The thing was called the E-Time.
Some brazilians figured out how to run roms, just get a low memory SD card, (500~ mb) put a folder on it called GAME, put roms in, put SD in, and play!!
For now, from my testings...
I'll say: 95% rom compatibility.
Panorama cotton for example is completely glitched...
Also some rom hack freeze or hang (I tried sonic 2 delta, some levels works, others not).
But 95% compatibility is already awesome for a device supposed to only have 20 games at start.
Is there any limit to how many games you can put on the SD card? I mean,
does the menu on it expand according to how many games are on it? Just a
thought, mind you.
i have read reviews of the dingoo, and its a nice little machine, and for a really good price, but, even with all of its features, its a bit expensive for me.
the screen is not protected good, so people should take care of it, otherwise scratches will be in it very soon. but i think you can buy transparent-protection-leaf and put it over the screen, but i dont did this. i bought me a good case and hope nothing will happen. bleepbloop, because of snes emulation and other stuff, maybe the dingoo a-320 could be interesting for you. here is a link:...

Unfortunately it does not work as far as I tried... Even emulators refuse the files created with this convertor (it actually only add a header to tell very old megadrive flashcards to switch into sms mode). On the gopher like on emulator, I only get a...
