Dingoo A320 forum

I think it should. I personally think its the drivers written for the controls (this is just a guess, I'm not really that advanced with these kinds of things). The creators of the drivers did a dodgy job, and that would be fixed. If it was an emulator problem, better emulators would be written, and so that problem will become extint

Just wanting to know, what other features will become possible, when we get Linux onto the Dingoo?

Booboo:

I've done in about 24h what I expected me to take much longer:
disassembled de file with the LCD initialization code (found in the
unbricking tool), figured out the LCD configuration and interface, and
patched the Ingenic kernel to make the framebuffer work.
I attach a picture which is most likely the first one of a linux
kernel booting in the dingoo A320.
There's still quite a lot of work to be done in order to have an
usable kernel/rootfs on the Dingoo, but the hardest part, the
framebuffer, is done.

looks like this may be here sooner than we thought

and in answer to the other question. with linux, the possibilties are endless. easy ports of freeware/opensource games (quake 2?) new emulators (scumm, C64, maybe even ps1?) homebrew (but on a different scale to what we have now, since it will be a hundred times easier, and therefore more likely to bring some coders over to the dingoo).

just take a look at all the stuff available for the gp2x. with a more powerful system running a similar OS, its just a matter of time...

Now that sounds really cool. Quake 2 would be fun as hell to have!

Now there is a video of linux booting correctly:

Oh my...that's sweet!

I'm guessing it wasn't 100% successful, cause I saw some red lines. Am I right?

yeah, its a fair way from 100 percent yet. but all the issues that have cropped up so far are fairly small.

Yeah, fair enough. That is pretty sweet though, we are so close!
