GCW Zero

Hey guys,
For a while I been thinking of buying this.
I wondered if anyone has it or has tried it. Wanted your opinions on whether you  like/dislike it.

I like playing my SNES games and such via emulators, but don't care for playing on my PC anymore. I thought it would be cool to have a handheld device for convenience and mobility.

Either this or I buy an actual Super Nintendo

ah, its like a Dingoo, its even uses the same OS

Operating system:   Linux 3.x (OpenDingux)
Memory:   512 MB DDR2

I had a Dingoo A320 (the most famous of the Dingoo family) and I can say: worths EACH DOLLAR SPENT. It seams to be as good as Dingoo too.

My only complain is: with 512mb, you won't be able some games at full speed, like PSX games. But I need to check, because Dingoo has a 400mhz cpu (which we can overclock to 433mhz), this baby has 1Ghz.

This was my Dingoo

Cool, I will continue it soon...

...because I got a new toy:


CPS1 Power Battle running on the Dingoo A320. It works so perfect
Dingoo A320 is a portable emulator videogame, cheap but amazing.

Google about it

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I did see the A320 when looking into the GCW.

I don't plan on playing PSX games on it, mostly 2D SNES/Gameboy games and some games I have on MAME, like X-men, Metal Slug or SF3.

The only bad thing I've heard about it is the buttons need some silicone grease applied, else they stick.

I don't plan on playing PSX games on it, mostly 2D SNES/Gameboy games and some games I have on MAME, like X-men, Metal Slug or SF3.

SF3 won't be playable, but the others runs pretty well. CPS-2 games have a bit lag (diminuished with overclock at Dingoo).
But for all other the rest of games, its just amazing. Some games, like one of Breath of fire, can be a tad slow because the transparency, but most games runs just fine.

If it runs Dingux, you can put more games on it. I remember I put The Day of The Tentacle, a classic DOS game, on it

Interesting... Does Dingoo require it's own emulators or will emulators on my PC like MAME and SNES9x work?

[O Ilusionista]

No, it required its own emulators. In most of times, its included (its at least at dingoo)
but its easy to find. Then I used a SD to put all Genesis+SNES+Master System complete sets +many CPS1 and CPS2 games on it.

Like that boy says on the video, "IS THIS THE REAL LIFE?"

[Twinimage]

Ok, that's cool. I thought it might require it's own emulators.

I've been googling it some more. Looks like they are trying to make CPS3 games playable on the GCW?

I hope so. SF3 is my favorite fighting game right now.
