There are a couple of excellent updates at http://dingoo-scene.blogspot.com in regards to screen tearing and dual boot.

The Dingoo is being made heaps better thanks to Booboo. Those of us here that own a Dingoo should be paying a little more attention

And also, take that naysayers

There's been another important bug fix so if you've already installed dual-boot, do it again.

Anyway this is all pretty exciting but I can't help think that using the EXT3 as the 2nd partition isn't that easy to use.
There's no easy way to access it for typical Win32 users.

Why not just have the entire thing FAT32? I know that you lose all the nice things about EXT3 but after all it IS a gaming/entertainment handheld, it's not going to be used for anything else really.

Despite this one problem, it's all pretty exciting. Linux boots in 5-6 seconds from power up. Granted, it's not probably loading anything much except the kernel but it's quick!

You can use the FAT32 without problems. My SD card has a 128 MB EXT3 partition and a FAT32 one with the rest of the space, so you only need to make a dir named "sd" on /mnt and add the following lines to etc/rc.local:

CODE
mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sd
/mnt/sd/autoexec.dge



This way you can edit the autoexec.dge to auto-launch programs.
