I haven't heard anyone complain about the Dingoo controls, and I remember there being a huge shitstorm over the Wiz controls.

So many cell phones have touch screens though, especially smartphones which are becoming more popular. Even blackberries that don't have touchscreens are perfectly suited to ScummVM due to the trackball and keyboard (although admittedly it hasn't been ported to BB). In all likelihood people...

Nobody's taking a shot at this? I guess it shows it is pretty hard. What I'm looking at is what made the GameBoy successful compared to other handhelds, and what made the nearest competitors successful. -good battery life -low price The iPod Touch is a bit of an anomaly, but otherwise people...

NM. Didn't read all the posts carefully.

I'd say the big thing with the Wiz is when it came out, plus some divisive issues. Some people think the dual dpad design was cool, others hated it, and still dislike the compromise. That's going to have people sitting on the fence. The tearing issue is also divisive, some people say it's a huge...

I'd just think you'd have it plugged into a PC anyway, and the SD card slot would essentially be so you can chose the size of your internal storage, and wouldn't really be swapping anything in or out very much.

What's so bad about the controls? I've never played a WonderSwan, but I haven't heard any complaints about the controls, so I'd imagine these would turn out just fine. Also - what's wrong with 1SD card slot? 0 is kind of a pain, but 1 is plenty, unless one slot would be SDIO for peripherals...

The title confused me. Video Games is plural and Handheld is singular, so I thought it was about the actual games. I've got 5 legit GBC games and a 6th 20-in-1 from Hong Kong. As for actual handhelds, I've got a GBC and a Nokia N95 8GB. In the past I had that shitty Blaze Genesis portable...

[I was thinking of putting this in other consoles, but that didn't seem right since it's not about anything that actually exists] Obviously, lots of people want to get in on the portable game market, but Nintendo's owned it from the start. So here's the scenario: You have to design a...

I'm not sure if this thread is intended in the context of games or in the context of a phone. I've had a chance to play with the Pre, the touchscreen interface is nice, but the slide out keyboard is crap. It's so small I doubt there's any greater accuracy than with an on screen keyboard, and...

Running on Android is probably a good call. What isn't is not having a trackball as well. The touchscreen ensures compatibility with all games that make use of just the touch screen, but the next common interface would be the keyboard (which the controls can map to) and the trackball on the...

I thought MWeston was guessing that it was a hardware issue, and not the clock.

Hasn't been released yet. Might be best to wait a few weeks, it'll have been out for a bit and you'll be able to read reviews and see what direction it's going.

I understand with MAME there are limitations, I don't know what your collection is like, but it's possible the Wiz might not have the power to handle all of it. Given Arcade controls, it might be worth looking into the F200 and F100 on account of the stick on the F100 and the stick mod for the...

In what way are the ergonomics of the Wiz bad? (And the Dingoo good for that matter). Can you post some comparison pictures?

The main interest I have in the Wiz has to do with its screen and how it handles in sunlight. That would be what would sway me from the GP2X-F200 to get the Wiz. If it were based on emulation, a PSP-2000 with a non T88v3 motherboard would be better as far as emulation goes. Several people just...

You wouldn't need to make distribution specifically for a wireless modem. If it works over wifi, it'll work with a modem.

You don't want to do heavy reading on anything with less than 300DPI resolution. It's a strain to read at 72-150DPI which most screens sit at, which is why a lot of people print out readings.

Same here. It's weird as hell, and I'm fascinated how the problem is solved by running in 240x320 mode. And also why this never happens to me on my N95 when I rotate the screen.

It might be a Korean thing to refer to online gaming as battle.net. I wouldn't want to play StarCraft on a handheld though. Diablo however would be cool! I'd also consider WiFi to be something of a necessity. Doesn't practically every console now (PSP, iPod Touch, DSi, Pandora) have WiFi?
