This thing looks pretty sweet, even if it is just an emulator.

Looks damn smexy, button layout for Neo is crap though.

Why is it widescreen?  Neo Geo games are not widescreen.  Also, I want a handheld that will use the Neo Geo carts.

Because the Dingoo A320 is widescreen.

I would buy the Dingoo A320 based on the name alone.

I think they should've made it more AES-ish. That's just too square & boring for me. Also, fingerprints.

I was just joking about the Dingoo, though this thing does look a lot like one.  Kinda like if they stretched one to make it wider and swapped the d-pad for an analogue nubbin.

One would assume it would be for the games that need more than the 4 face buttons.

Yeah, it does look to be 16:9- that doesn't make any sense.

Those games don't exist.

I wasn't sure if any of the latter/"post system life" games needed any extra buttons.  #-o  Ok I'll go with dedicated turbo/combo buttons  :wink:

I recognize all of the possible flaws, and I'm not a big fan of the 20 game lineup, but despite all that, I still feel like this inside when I see this new bit of Neo Geo hardware...

As long as it is not widescreen. I like seing the bars on top and bottom. It makes more sense, because that is how it looks in the teather.

That thing is useless, but it is better then buying anything from nintendo or sony :dance:

I dont get the sarcasm for the dingoo that i have seen in these forums. Unless you own one, you cant really judge the system. I own one and they are capable of considerably more than you would imagine, considering they came out in 2008 . Neo geo games run just fine on them and look great. You dont have to run them in widescreen widescreen either. the emulators are configurable you know, just like on the pc. I modded my dingoo with a larger external battery for long life, a heatsink for overclocking, and a hand grip comparable to the playstation 2 controller.
