Dingoo A320 forum

Another firmware hack from our friends on the Chinese A320 forums

This one is based on the offical 1.03 firmware with the main changes being it comes preoverclocked at 385hz and they have also updated the video codecs (real.dl and videos.dl). They have also altered the text on the MP3 player to make it a bit bolder and easier to read.

I dont really use my Dingoo for watching movies but playback certainly seems a bit smoother. Maybe someone who watches a bit on the Dingoo would be able to offer some proper feedback ** edit ** just watched an episode of Fringe on it and didnt notice any buffering.

You can try it for yourself HERE

If you do try it, be sure and leave your feedback in this thread.

Thanks

This looks to be from March. Would you mind linking to the actual forum so We can see what was written about it?

I know it's been covered, my bad, but how was I supposed to install this? I just dragged it into the main directory, and said yes to overwrite, then rebooted it.. seems to work fine, but I don't really notice any difference.

I always install the firmware with the recovery tool. This erases everything that is currently on it, so be sure to back it all up first. If there is another method I'm unaware of it.

I'd also like to note that there was a firmware that supposedly had upgraded video codecs but they turned out to be the same ones in the original firmware. I don't know if that is the case here though.

Yeah, I wasn't sure, but had all my stuff backed up so said F it... the hxf file seems to be replaced (the file size is smaller), and upon messing with it a little more some games do seem to play faster without running the overclock app.

Copy it onto your Dingoo. Switch off, then switch back on whilst holding DOWN on the D-Pad to start the update process.

Remember this isnt an official firmware, its been amended to offer Overclock as standard and has the two new video codecs patched into it.

Its the version I currently have running on my Dingoo.

Thank you kind sir, got it working.

Do the "Updated Video Codecs" allow compatability with more recent versions of Flash? Almost none of the FLVs and SWFs that I've downloaded have worked due to the Dingoo not supporting anything above Flash 7.

Using this firmware now and seems to make an improvement. I like that I don't have to keep activating it every time I boot on. I like that it doesn't overclock so close to the edge of the processor's ability but leaves a little breathing room I was expecting it to wipe out my memory so I backed everything up, but after running the update, all my files were there! I just had to switch the language from Chinese to English.
