Re: STEP BY STEP DINGOO LINUX INSTALLATION VIDEO

Hey z_man, great work. I wonder if you can help me with a problem.

I am trying to get dingux going on my A320 but I can't seem to load another USB driver. I am trying to follow your video tutorials and in them you state you need to uninstall the existing driver (chinachip for me) and load up the new usb driver. I uninstall the current chinachip driver, unplug my dingoo, power it off, press and hold "b" while reconnecting the mini USB cable. Apparantly a "found new hardware" window is supposed to pop up and I should be able to specify the location on my new USB driver, but I never get that pop-up window. If I power up the dingoo and plug it in it automatically loads the chinachip driver. I run Vista by the way.

Any help would be great.

Find a friend with XP and start again.

Zman stated he was using XP as well. Vista sucks.

It must be possible with Vista. Anyone have experience doing this with Vista? Interestingly enough, I tried loading the USB driver using linux and had no luck either. I believe I am just not doing something properly.

@ Sombra

Maybe you missed the part of the video where ZMan had issues w/ USB recognition using Ubuntu. Kinda scares me from the whole experience personally. The fact you are adamant on using Vista astounds me. Vista sucks!

Look forward to seeing someone point you in the right direction.

Good luck!

I have had zero issues with vista for the 1.5 years I've been using it.

Hey now! Vista is pretty awesome when you turn off UAC.

The reason is because you don't have dmenu configured. You have to configure your dmenu configuration file which has the instructions of which program is where, for instance, by default dmenu doesn't know where is your snes emulator and where is your MAME and roms. So, you have to point them inside the dmenu configuration file.
