I used my NLU for ages and it was fine. The only reason I also got a BLU+ was that craigix had some that he was selling off for £60... That was a couple of years ago now so I doubt he still has any but you could always ask (if you can find him on the other board). john

Th original GP32 was became known as the NLU because it has an unlit screen like the original Gameboy Advance. As a result you could only really use it outside or in a well lit room. Next was the GP32 FLU, which has a front lit screen. The colours tend to be washed out a bit as is common with...

Oh man, I'd kill for a PC Engine Emulator for the GP32!!! I loved GP Engine but it wasn't quite there and the loss of the source meant it never got updated. It'd be great to have a better PC Engine emu on the Dingoo too but given the choice I'd prefer playing with the GP32's little clicky sticky...

I know the GP32 section of the forum doesn't get much going on in it any more but it still seems wrong that the device that started the whole thing off is now relegated to the bottom of the "Other OpenSource Handhelds" section. So BOO!! to inevitable but sad changes and YEH!! to the GP32 -...

Nah - if anything is going to kill the Pandora it's spending more time on a forum than you do manufacturing Pandoras. john

In my view, there is far too much of this stuff going on of late http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/3214-genesis-emulater john

How old is your son? Would he be able to cope with downloading games/roms and uploading them to the console? All of these Chinese PMP consoles seem to require some level of tinkering to get it to do what you want - even getting your PC to recognise them can be a trial. john

The Japanese written language is kind of pictorial and so they are big on visual puns. 'Wii' works as one of these because 'we' is the plural of 'I' which implies the console is for multiplayer fun. By writing it 'Wii' the 'i's are meant to represent two little people and that's the visual pun -...

I actually only added the iPhone as an opportunity to take the p1ss out of it's call dropping problems ;) My point with the Dingoo is that at twice the price the Caanoo should really be twice as good - much better build quality, much more powerful etc. I'm not knocking the Caanoo, I just think...

The Dingoo (A320) screen is rubbish. The build quality is fair. The buttons are okay. The OS isn't great. BUT it is very small and it is very cheap. Comparing the Caanoo to the Wiz is a good idea because they are by the same company and have similar price points. If you are going to include...

It's certainly not just handhelds that suffer from bad naming. Wii (admittedly a visual pun of sorts)? Even Playstation only sounds okay because we have got used to it. I think I prefer names that don't try to describe what the device does so I actually like Dingoo, Wiz et al. Can you imagine a...

I don't know what your financial situation is but were it me I'd get a Dingoo right now and then wait a few months to see how the Caanoo scene develops and whether any hardware niggles become obvious. Who knows, by Xmas you might be creating a topic called "Now the Pandora is so cheap and the...

Not just me that has thought this then!!! I doubt it'd be perfect but it would certainly be better and probably a decent "best of both worlds". john

Another post about the analogue stick I'm afraid... I think the main problem I had with the Zodiac's stick was that the positioning of my hand might change during play so that when I moved in what I thought was an UP direction it may be slightly off to the diagonal. This was most noticeable in...

The [insert either] is clearly the best. I know this because I have neither of them therefore an expert. I clearly know what I am talking about despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary and therefore my opinion is a equally as valid as GameKing's. I am now off to start a topic titled...

Great review - it's swayed me over to seriously considering getting a Caanoo... The one thing that I'd still really like to know is how well the analogue stick compares to the Zodiac's when using emulators. I found the Zodiac's to be okayish depending on game type but I really struggled playing...

Why doesn't anyone ever make analogue sticks like the one on the Gamecube controller where it was analogue but had notches so the stick went into perfect diagonals? It wouldn't be perfect for emulating a d pad but it'd be a lot better than what the Caanoo has! John

Apps that don't work on Blu+ will have a large white bar on the screen... effectively making them unusable. I've just had a look on my blu+ and I have the following installed and working okay: LittleJohn 0.4 fZX32 (xmas) fGB32 (f-day) DrMD v3 DrSMS Beta 1 John

Since I got up this morning, about an hour ago, I've found out that Michael Jackson is dead, so if Farrah Fawcett, initially it looked like Jeff Goldblum was too but that turned out to be a hoax, my sister-in-law's grandfather has died and my venus flytrap is beyond hope. That's in the first...

I've just been through my handheld collection picking the best bits and what I'd say is... - Size, shape, weight, build quality, screen and neat stylus holder from a Zodiac - Digital controls from DS Phat but with... - 2 analogue sticks from Zodiac - Boot time as short as GP32 -...
