Dingoo A320 forum

The weirdest thing happened to me today. I turn on my Dingoo, go to "Interesting game", go to one of the directories that is filled w/ games (I can see them clearly w/ my PC). And none of them show up! Duuuuuuhhhh???? Anything else works: Dinux, Radio, Music, 3D Games, etc. etc.

Wooooot? Help me please.

Are your sim-files still present on the dingoo?

Yep. All of them. I agree w/ you: it must be the SIM files that are buggin' me...

[edit] Overwrote all SIM's w/ the ones from here. That did not work. Help me please

Do you have very many games in the same directory? try to see if it works in a directory with less roms.

Also try to refresh the files with Update Jukebox.

Alas, deleting a lot of games does not work. Strange thing is that I do not see the file called "neogoe.zip" anymore either (but it;s still there!). (After unboxing the Dingoo I had to acivate that file one to be able to play NeoGeo games).

[edit] Stop the Press: I updated the Jukebox after deleting some games (and took out the SD card). And it works again! Oemphhh!

[Update] Reinserted mySD card and updated the music dbase again. And guess what: no "interestng games". Removed SD card, updated Jukebox, and the "interesting games" reappeared again like magic. Duuuuh?

This might also be related to the SD card corruption bug, when you have used Dingux/Linux? Or aren't you using an SD card?

I'd like to read some more on the infamous SD card corruption bug. Yesterday I had to re-format my SD card because strange things had happened. Maybe something strange happened to the internal memory because of this too. But chances of that are dim because Dingux can't even mount (or read) the internal volume.

But one thing is for sure: the Jukebox dbase and the "interesting games" (native emulators, that is) are connected somehow... Strange, but true.

I'm running Windows 7 atm, and I notice every time I plug in the Dingoo, Windows asks me whether I want to "Scan and fix" the removable storage.

I wonder what triggers this behavior in Windows as it obviously thinks both the SDcard AND Dingoo's internal storage might be corrupt. I also don't know whether the Scan & Fix (probably like Windows XP's checkdisk) might be able to corrupt the Dingoo's internal storage.

AFAIK, only Dingux can corrupt the filesystem. And only the SDCard Fat32 filesystem, when it is written to. But I don't trust Windows 7 too much, nor the Dingoo to deal with possible 'fixes' Windows does...

Bouvrie: search the forum for Vista or Windows 7. Win Vista and up does not recognize the usb Dingoo device well.
