Screen Tearing

[sbock]

I have a few questions about the screen tearing some people noticed. Are the reasons for it the same as with the Wiz? Are all units affected? Or are only a few programs influenced? Is a workaround available?
Thanks for enlighten me...

Regards,

I might be wrong... I don't own a Dingoo, but as I recall the tearing issue was only on early versions (with White cases?) and was corrected in later versions.

I haven´t seen this mysterious tearing on my black dingoo yet, but i might not be as pedantic as other people. The only not so good thing about the LCD is the viewing angle: up, down and left are ok, but right is pretty dark. Not a problem for me as player, but for the audience.
There were distortions in the Megadrive emulator though, but that´s double-fixed now.

The tearing on the Dingoo happens under certain circumstances:

See http://www.dingux.com/2009/07/on-screen-tearing.html

I haven’t noticed any general system-wide screen tearing.

However, when running this Pixel Fixer video in the native media player you can see what the screen tearing looks like.

It happens in certain emulators, it's basically a result of bad coding on the ones standard provided.
I only notice it (strongly) in the master system emulator (seen that is what i use)
However someone is fixing this : http://a320.freeforums.org/megadrive-emulator-for-native-os-fixed-t884.html

works pretty good so far if you flash the dingo to 1.1 firmware.

Thanks for all the quick answers.

Screen tearing is supposedly only present in the built-in emulators, not linux (certainly not there in picodrive in dingux). I thought the dingux dual-boot installer had inadvertently alleviated some of the screen tearing.
