i have tested max payne mobile, modern combat 3, dead trigger, dos box turbo, and a slew of other stuff and so far the system runs well. there are definatly issues that hopefully will get ironed out. Anyone who has used dosbox, please chime in. i could really use help on how to setup physical controls better.

I got my S7300 today and it works perfectly. I updated the firmware from that link and from what I read, it sounded like the 50hz video for emulators had been fixed. Either way, PCE games look perfect, even flicker effects. I'm playing CD games and the image (color/contrast/etc) is perfect. The only issue so far is how huge the d-pad is. I found it easier to control "twitch" games by keeping my thumb at the center of the d-pad.

50hz has not yet been fixed, but the thread has been updated saying they have found and will have a fix before to long. my device locks up occasionaly with wifi turned on and sometimes on usb transfers. they are known issues and hopefully being worked on as well. I tested ethernet connection today and it worked flawless. it defeats the purpose mind you of being portable, but you can hook the jxd up to a tv via hdmi and watch content, or play a game via game pad. not to shabby.

received mine today via FoxOffer.  Already installed NCCE and a few emus, this thing is awesome!

...tho it turns out the white model i worked so hard to find, actually has a subtle pearloid finish that kinda makes me want to barf.  it's not really noticeable, but I would have preferred a matte white finish tbh.

Good to hear, if either of you need help, let me know i will do what i can. The dpad is alittle large, but with the updates it works pretty well. don't forget to get setcpu and lower the cpu freq a tad. the jxd has a habit of getting to hot and locking up. the alternative is to open it up and attack a copper heatspreader to the cpu if you want to run it at full speed long term.

The black model doesn't look just-black either. It's kind of sparkly and looks like the blue Galaxy III phone. Still very nice though and feels well put together. I thought that mine, which came with free DHL shipping, was supposed to only have 8GB internal memory, but it also came with an 8GB card.

i noticed that. i really wanted a matt black, was surprised it was sparkly, but thats ok, its still a good looking unit.

have you guys figured out a good case for it?  i was going to stop by best buy/staples/etc to check out their tablet cases to see what could be a good fit.  Currently mine is nested inside a bubble mailer lol

also, any app/emu recommendations?  i've been using N64oid, ePSXe, MD.emu and SNES9X EX with great success.

I bought the perfect carrying case for my Samsung Tab 10 a year ago for $7 at Walmart. Works great for this too. I also got the perfect fold up stand at Walmart for around $10.

those are all good, don't forget your obey with pce.emu, also get mame4droid and live it up with some arcade goodness. don't forget to buy max payne mobile, gta3 mobile for some kick ass gaming as well.

Bump for update.

The new official firmware that fixes most of the jxd's long standing problems is out. However, I would still wait a few days until the Custom firmware authors release their version. It will no doubt be better. When they do release it, you can get it here:

http://boards.dingoonity.org/android-devices/jxd-s7300-fixes-firmware-roms-thread/

New custom firmware is out and it is fantastic. Also, make sure you read the thread. One of teh forum goes talks about swapping the dpad rubber with that of a n64 dpad. i did the mod and its fantastic.

so far I am loving the JXD as everything i throw at it runs pretty smooth.  oddly though, i went to play some Mario64 via N64oid and my roms were missing.  i keep all n64 roms in a file via the SD card and everything was gone.  Has something like this happened to anyone else?

This is one of my brief accesses to internet in the middle of my vacation. My JXD is amazing and the perfect portable PCE CD experience (battery lasts forever running PCE.emu). Runs my 1080p videos perfectly and the screen is unbelievably good considering the price.

You need to download the modtool that supplements the new firmware and install it. it fixes most sd card corruption. no matter what you do though, the machine just does not like some sdcards. My machine is now modded with a copper plate over the cpu for increased cooling. I also have modded my dpad with the rubber from an n64 dpad. Combined with the new firmware the machine is almost perfect. The modtool removed what few hiccups i was having due to random lockups or sd card corruption. The good news is more fixes are on the way that address the right analog as well as wifi issues and more system tweaks.
