Dingoo A320 Review - SNES Emulation

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is one of my all time favorite systems. I remember getting mine for Christmas a year after its launch along with a copy of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It quickly became one of my most cherished consoles. This being said, I've had quite a collection of SNES ROMs laying around to try out!

ROM Management

I decided to only load ROMs that were in English for now, to the ROM count is around 800~900. I placed them in alphabetical folders under Games\SNES.

Emulation

Much is to be said on SNES emulation on the Dingoo A320. On one hand, it DOES load almost every game (excluding those with special chips, which I will touch on in a bit,) but it also has teh buggiest frame skip I've ever dealt with in an emulator. First off, I grabbed Super Mario World. it's a game that most SNES users are familiar enough with and one that I've played more recently on my SNES at home. I was a bit disappointed. First off, I left the frame skip option on AUTO and turned the volume up to 90%. Then I let the intro play. The music sounded too fast at times and too slow at others. The sound effects sounded horrible and the game was dropping frames like crazy! I played through about half of level one and went straight to the frame skip option. After setting it to skip only one frame, I played through the rest of the level. The game was no longer skipping, but it felt slightly too sluggish. On level 2 I set the frame skip to 2. Now the speed was fine, but the game felt slightly "jerky."

This is how most of the SNES ROMs went. First, try with AUTO, then 1, then 2. Anything more than 2 made the game so jerky that it was no longer enjoyable. For the most part, games like F-Zero, Tecmo's Secret of the Stars, Gradius III, and R-Type III ran great on AUTO or 1. Also, Earthbound ran well on 2 without giving me a headache. Some games, however, such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy II/IV , and Final Fantasy III/VI had issues that were almost unforgivable. With The Legend of Zelda, the rain at the beginning made me rip my headphones off due to the loud screeching noise it made (which, by the way, completely turned the music off.) Also, there were graphical glitches when changing rooms and sometimes the tiles on the floor would turn solid black. For both Final Fantasy games the sound was not emulated well and the games were riddled with graphical glitches. This goes for Chrono Trigger too.

One last note on frame skipping on the Dingoo. What ever you set the setting to on one game carries over to the next. So if you set Super Mario World to 2 and then jump to Super Metroid, it will still be set to 2, meaning you have to go in to the options on each game every time you switch a game and set it to where you think it needs to be. This is how ALL the Dingoo emulators are, but most of the time you will leave the setting alone in the other emulators.

On top of the overall bugs listed above, no special chips are emulated. Meaning, no Super FX chip for games like Star Fox. No DSP chips for games like Megaman X2 and X3. Games like Super Mario RPG are also out of the question. Secret of Mana and the translated Seiken Densetsu have font issues rendering them unplayable. There are several other games that will not play list here, for those interested.

Overall, the SNES emulation is poor, which is disappointing for those who remember and love the system. On a side note, for those running Dingux (a port of Linux that can be dual booted with the original Dingoo OS,) there is a version of SNES9x that plays most of these games (with the exception of the special chip games,) at better speeds and with better sound. It's well worth a look in to Dingux for those who don't mind taking extra time to set up their Dingoos! I'll be covering more on Dingux in the future...

Dingoo A320 Review - Firmware Upgrade and NES Emulation

Alright, now for the real fun! Sure the basic features of the Dingoo are great, but the real meat of this system is its emulation capabilities.

Before we get started on how these run and what is needed to run them, I want to cover upgrading the firmware of the system. Firmware upgrades on the Dingoo are incredibly easy. First, obtain the latest update file (as of 12/29/09 this is 1.2 and can be found here.) Open the compressed file and extract the a320.HXF file to the root of your dingoo. Now, make sure your battery is charged and unplug the unit from your PC. Turn the system off. Hold the power slide up and the D-pad down until the screen shows that it is updating the firmware. Let go of the buttons and wait. It only takes a few minutes. That's that! Now for the good stuff...

Preinstalled are emulators for the following systems:

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (SG/MD)
Neo-Geo Arcade Games
Capcom Arcade Games (Both CSP1 and CSP2)
Nintendo Gameboy Advance (GBA)

I'm going to break down each system in the order listed above. I'll explain where I placed my ROM images and how the emulators reacted. For the most part, emulation is near perfect on some systems and disheartening on others.

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

ROM Management

I first took all of my ROM images and placed them in separate folders depending on their alphabetic order. For example, I placed all ROM's starting with a number and the letter A in a folder labeled "#-A." Normally I would just throw all 800+ games in one folder, but there is no page up/down on the Dingoo (meaning one would have to scroll through countless titles just to get to, say, Super Mario Bros.) I then placed all of these folders in to a folder labeled NES. The NES folder was then copied on to the Dingoo under the Games folder. Done!

Emulation

Being an old school gamer, I grew up on games like Super Mario Bros and Castlevania. This made my first two choices of which ROM's to test easy. I fired up the Dingoo and highlighted the "Interesting Game" option on the menu. From there, I selected my NES folder, then S folder. I found Super Mario Bros. and loaded it up. From the very start I wanted to see my options before trying out the game. Once the title popped up I pressed the Start and Select button at the same time. For Dingoo emulation, this brings up emulator options. I turned my sound up to 90% and checked my button configuration. A quick click on continue and the game was right back up. The game played flawlessly. I noticed no lag and the sound, while "tinny", was never too slow or too fast. I was able to run through Mario in about six and a half minutes using warps and found the controls were just as tight as my old NES sitting back home.

A quick jump out of Super Mario an in to Castlevania... just as good! The emulation felt spot on, though I noticed the colors seemed almost a little too bright. This could just be me comparing it to my LCD TV's at home or from how the games look on my computer monitor. I played for a good half hour, getting the crap beat out of me as usual. After this, I tried several games from Tetris to Contra to The Legend of Zelda, all played just as I would expect. After a good forty titles, I've not had a single one fail to load or show in signs of weakness. Even Rygar and Castlevania III (both known for glitches on other emulators,) ran great!

Overall, NES emulation is near perfect on the Dingoo. Some of the music sounds a bit off and could use some work, plus, if there was slow down and flicker in the original NES, it's still around on the Dingoo. Still, as far as the NES goes, it almost makes the system pay for itself!

Dingoo A320 Review - Overview


The Dingoo A320 is a small hand held video game system capable of emulating a number of older consoles and arcade games right out of the box. I had first heard of this system while surfing around thinkgeek.com. After about a month of looking at it and reading up on it and its rival, the GP2x Wiz, I decided to buy one and try it out for myself.

I ordered my Dingoo from ThinkGeek on 12/26 and selected overnight UPS so I could play around with it while things were slow during the holidays. It shipped on the 28th and I received it right on time on the 29th. The packaging was a cardboard box with a cardboard stand on the inside cradling the unit. Underneath the stand was a mini USB cable, a pair of ear buds, and an AC to USB wall charger.

The system itself it smaller than a slim PSP and a bit larger than a Gameboy Micro. The buttons and D-pad feel sturdy, though I'm not the biggest fan of the "shoulder" buttons. For these, instead of opting for a more traditional shoulder L and R, they chose to place two buttons on the top. While these have a nice sturdy feel and a nice "click" to them, they feel awkward compared to say a PSP or a Nintendo DS. To power the system on, there is a slide on the right hand side which can be pushed up to power on, or slid down to place the buttons in a HOLD state (much like a portable CD Player or older Walkman.) Below the power slide is a standard headphone jack. on the bottom of the system are two shiny speakers (though their sound quality seems to lack any bass what-so-ever,) an AV-Out jack (to hook the system up to a TV,) and a MiniSD slot. The MiniSD slot is HC compatible up to 32 GB, though it's an odd choice seeing how most portable devices have gone on to use its smaller cousin (MicroSD.) An adapter to make a MicroSD fit a MiniSD works just fine, however. On the Left side of the system are two small holes. One houses a MIC for voice recording, the other a Reset button (much like a PDA in case of the system hanging and becoming unusable.)

Booting the system up brings up a menu scheme much like that of Sony's PSP. Actually, seeing as how this product is made in China, there is a good chance this is a deliberate choice. The menus are easy enough to navigate and all of the base features (without me loading any ROM images or applications,) worked nicely. The FM radio works great at my house or outside, though in my office, the reception is horrible. The system came packaged with several videos in various formats and the quality was fairly good for such a small hand held. The MP3 and WMA playback was great through the use of my headphones, though suffered in quality using the built-in speakers. Picture viewing was easy, and the ebook reader worked like it should (displaying text and allowing me to read it!) The system came with several "3D" games preinstalled, the best, in my opinion, being 7 Days (a survival horror game much like the Alone in the Dark series.)

Overall, the system held up to it's basic promises. The next step was to update the firmware, throw on some ROMs and try my hand at it's boasted emulators! I'll cover these in a follow up shortly in a separate post where I will also outline the steps to updating the firmware, and adding more native emulators to the mix. All with links to the files you will need!

Tales of Terror from Tokyo (DVD Review)


The latest movie to come in from my Netflix queue was Tales of Terror from Tokyo Vol 1. This DVD contains several short "reenactments" of Japanese ghost stories/urban legends in and around Tokyo. While the production quality is fairly low, each short segment was entertaining. For those out there who are not familiar with how the Japanese view ghost, spirits, and the paranomral overall will probably find this DVD not all that frightening. Some of the stories are a bit creepy, like a spirit pretending to be a small girls aunt to gain access to her home, while other stories are just plain odd, like one where people who walk down a certain street at night suddenly have their clothes on backwards. Overall, the DVD is a great view if you love Asian horror, or just want to see what another culture views as the paranormal. For all those who are hardcore Western Horror fans, I would recommend that you pass this one up.

Update on One Missed Call US vs JP

So over a year later I finally watched the American version of One Missed Call. In my humble opinion, it was terrible. I will give them credit for TRYING to to stick with the original story line and keeping a few key elements the same, but I cannot forgive them for taking a relatively unnerving, creepy movie and turning it in to a shallow teenage summer horror flick. If you've still not seen this movie, PLEASE pass the American version and pick up a Japanese copy. While you are at it, go ahead and grab its direct sequel, One Missed Call 2, though I will warn you NOT to pick up the third Japanese movie, One Missed Call Final, because it is utter nonsense.

Text Messages from the Dead!

This woman must have the best cell phone network ever...

"A Lancashire man whose house has a chilling reputation for poltergeist activity claims he is being haunted by text messages from his dead wife, the Blackpool Gazette reports.

Frank Jones, 59, was obliged 12 years ago to have his home in Windsor Avenue, Thornton, exorcised after a malevolent spirit dubbed "The Thing", which had already driven one terrified family from the house, turned its attentions on him and his wife and kids.

In 1971, previous residents the Ross family told the Gazette how The Thing had "pulled at their bed covers while they were asleep" and that they "sensed a vile smell and felt something breathing in their ears".

Jones moved in 20 years ago, solidly sceptical about the legendary presence, but "soon changed his mind". He recounted: "I just thought they were imagining it. But there was a lot of banging and an earthy smell in the house. Then one night I was lying in bed and a mist came across the room. I wanted to shout out at it, but I couldn't get my words out. My face seemed to be paralysed. It all got too much for me when that happened."

Jones's daughter, Maureen, 30, confirmed that The Thing had turned on taps and "ransacked" the house. She said: "You think people are exaggerating until you experience it. I was home alone one evening and suddenly heard these footsteps coming up the stairs. They went into my dad's bedroom and then I heard all the cupboards banging open. It sounded like burglars."

Cue an exorcist from Fleetwood Spiritualist Church, who "cleansed" the property of the spirit "trapped between two worlds".

Peace then reigned in Windsor Avenue until five years ago, when Jones suffered a double tragedy - the death of his son Steven, 32, from a brain tumour and wife Sadie, 69, three months later from a heart attack.

Jones explained: "Just after Sadie died I came home and I felt like I didn't want to go in the house. I got a missed call on my mobile, but it didn't ring. The call was from my own home number, but there was nobody in the house. Then when I went inside there was a smell like cigarettes which Sadie used to smoke and the smell of her perfume."

Jones says his family has since received strange SMS messages which they believe to be from Sadie. He concluded: "She always had a mobile with her. We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there's no number."

Wii Homebrew - SNES Emulation a la Twilight Hack (Tutorial Part 2 of 2)

So now we have this great tool for loading homebrew applications and really want to play those 100% legal public domain ROM images like these ;) So let's gather the requirements listed in part one and get started!

First off, let's uncompress the SNES9x zip to a folder. Inside this new folder should be files labeled as snesgx.dol and snesgx.elf. Copy snesgx.elf to the root of your SD Card. Rename snesgx.elf to boot.elf.

Now, create a folder on your SD Card called roms. This is the folder you need to place your uncompressed SNES ROMs in, so go ahead and put your ROMs in there!

Now we are ready to go! So power on your Wii, place your SD Card in to your Wii, plug in a Gamecube controller, and insert your Twilight Princess game. Start up Zelda and select the first save file to play. Either talk to the man in front of you or start walking backwards. As soon as you do either of these, your screen should turn black and you'll see text on the screen. Once that is done, the emulator screen will be up and ready to go!

So here are some notes on using the emulator. First off, to play a ROM, you have to go to Load New Game. Once there, go to Load from Front. Choose your ROM and press A. Once you are back on the main menu, select Play Game to start playing. To return to the emulator's menu, press Z+R at the same time.

Saving: Alright, to my knowledge, there are no save states, so you will have to save the old school way on games such as Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. This is done through SRAM. Here is where the 3rd party memory card comes in (Nintendo brand cards do not work! I use a cheap one by Interact.) Place your memory card in to either Slot A or Slot B. I'm going to use Earthbound for the following example. Once you save in Earthbound, press Z+R. At the menu, go to SRAM Manager. Now, choose your memory card slot and then choose Save SRAM. Back out to the main menu and choose Play Game to continue playing. You will have to do this EVERY TIME you want to save your game to the memory card.

So, your files are saved, and you've shut down the Wii. Next time you load the emulator, load your ROM and head to the SRAM Manager. Choose Load SRAM to load your save from your memory card. Now when you select Play Game on the main menu, your save files will be present.

That's about it! So happy gaming! There are more homebrew games and even a multiloader for various homebrew projects at WiiBrew. I hope this tutorial helped you out! Either way, leave me a comment and let me know what you think! I'll correct anything that is mistyped and credit you for it.

Wii Homebrew - SNES Emulation a la Twilight Hack (Tutorial Part 1 of 2)

Today, I’m going to cover how to successfully use the “Twilight Hack” to load up SNES9x on your Wii without having to mod your system. I will be breaking this down in to two parts. Part one will cover the Twilight Hack, while part two will cover how to get SNES9x up and running. But first, the disclaimer!

WARNING: I take no responsibility for any damage that may occur to your Wii, SD Card, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game, or any other peripheral they may be damaged during this use of this hack or its implementation. Also, for the record, I take no responsibility for any damage that may be caused to your computer (though I don’t see how that would be possible,) or any data lost on your PC, SD Card, or Wii.

EMULATION WARNING: Loading any commercial ROM image that has not been declared public domain by its copyright holders is illegal. Looking at Nintendo’s official stance on emulation, it is also illegal to obtain ANY ROM image off of the internet, whether you own the game or not. I would like to point out that I will in no way help you find ROM images to play with SNES9x unless they are 100% public domain.

Now that all of that is out of the way, let’s get started! Here’s what you need to make this work:

For the Twilight Hack:

1x Zelda: Twilight Princess

1x Wii

1x SD Card (this needs to be SD, not Micro or Mini SD in an SD converter.)

1x Twilight Hack (link)

1x SD Card Reader for your PC

For SNES9x:

1x SNES9x Files (link)

1x Gamecube Controller

1x 3rd Party Gamecube Memory Card (Optional and only used to save SRAM.)

NOTE: There are other methods of saving SRAM such as using a USBGecko or an SDGecko, but I will only be covering 3rd Party Gamecube Memory Cards since they are the cheapest route and that’s what I’m using!

We will only be dealing with the Twilight Hack at this moment, so let’s get started!

Before starting this hack, I recommend that you backup your Zelda save to a different SD Card than the one used for this hack, since you will be deleting your save file on your Wii.

The first thing you need to do is look at your Zelda disc. There should be a ring that reads something like this: RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA. Your disc may differ slightly depending on where you live and when you bought the disc. Here is the table from the WiiBrew site:

Different Versions

Region

Inner circle text

File

Europe/Australia

RVL-RZDP-0A-0 JPN

rzdp0.bin

Asia

RVL-RZDJ-0A-0 JPN

rzdj0.bin

America

RVL-RZDE-0A-0 JPN

rzde0.bin

America

RVL-RZDE-0A-0 USA

rzde0.bin

America

RVL-RZDE-0A-2 USA

rzde2.bin

Now that you know which file to play with, uncompress your Twilight Hack zip file to a folder (the folder name does not matter.) Open the folder that had the Twilight Hack files in it and find the file that matches your disc from the chart above.

Now, place your SD Card in to your card reader on your PC. First, let’s see what format the card is in. It needs to be formatted to FAT16 to work properly. So, double-click on My Computer and then right-click on your SD Card. Left-click Properties. If the File System reads FAT16, you are good to go! If not, click OK, then right-click on your SD Card and left-click format. Make sure the file system has FAT16 selected and format your card. This will delete everything on your card, so back it up first!

Open your SD Card and create the following folder: private. Open the private folder and create a folder called wii. Now open the wii folder and create a folder called title. Now, depending on your disc, open the title folder and make a folder called RZDx. Only, replace the x with E, P, or J depending on your disc. So mine would read: /private/wii/title/RZDE. Now, copy your .bin file from the Twilight Hack folder into your RZDx folder (make sure it matches your disc!) Once the file is copied, rename the file on your SD Card to data.bin.

Now, turn on your Wii and delete your Zelda: Twilight Princess save. Place your SD Card into the Wii's card slot and copy the file Twilight Hack to your Wii.

That’s it! Now, we need to load some homebrew and run it, so check out part 2!

Movie Review: Honogurai Mizu no Soko Kara (仄暗い水の底から)

Dark Water (known as Honogurai Mizu no Soko Kara in Japan,) is a movie involving a woman, Yoshimi Matsubara (played by Hitomi Kuroki,) who is going through a rough divorce with her soon-to-be ex husband, Kunio Hamada (played by Fumiyo Kohinata.) Through this divorce is a nasty custody battle for their six-year old daughter, Ikuko (played by Rio Kanno.) In order for Yoshimi to keep custody of Ikuko, she must find a place to live and a steady job.

Yoshimi comes across an apartment that has a large living space and a low price, so she and Ikuko decide to move in. After the move, Yoshimi discovers an odd leak in the ceiling and reports it to apartment manager. During this time, she is also hired on to work as an editor for a publishing company.

Everything seems to be going great until odd things start happening around the apartment building, especially the room located directly above Yoshimi's. From here is where the story really takes off. The viewer finds out about a missing girl who once lived there and about Yoshimi's past as an editor for a horror author. As the movie progresses, so does the strange leak in Yoshimi's apartment.

Overall, I thought the movie was well done. I've heard mixed reviews on the more recent (2005,) version of this movie made here in The States, though this is not too surprising. I can see how this one would be a little hard to translate into a more Western horror movie. For those of you interested, you can probably find the original Japanese version at most large movie retailers, or online at places like Amazon. If you would like to sit back and watch this movie online, as I did, you can view the entire movie at crunchyroll.com (check the link below.)

My Take on One Missed Call (American Release)

Well, after watching trailers for the up and coming One Missed Call, I'm a bit disappointed. I've seen the three Japanese movies and loved them (well, at least the first two.) The American version does not look to have the same feel as the Japanese film. This can also be said of previous Japanese to American movies such as Ju-on (known as The Grudge here in the States.) I'll hold my ultimate comments until I can sit down and watch the new version. Until then, I'm holding on my stance that it will not touch the Japanese movies.

Doubutsu no Mori: The Movie Review (どうぶつの森)



I finally sat down and watched the entire Doubutsu no Mori movie last night. Overall, the movie was fairly accurate to the game (known as Animal Crossing outside of Japan.)

The movie follows the adventures of Ai, a young girl who has moved out on her own to a town named Animal Village. Ai meets many new friends and and sets off to try her best to fit in. As the movie progresses, she finds messages in bottles speaking of a winter festival miracle. Each bottle gives her a task leading up to the Winter Festival. Mixed with adventures with her friends and a bit of surprise at the end, the film delivers a cute story rather well.

The animation is above par to standard video game based anime. The backgrounds have a warm water colored feel and the characters are vibrant and well drawn. The music is composed of slight remixes of the music in Animal Crossing: Wild World and fits very well to the movie.


If you have the time, there is a stream of this film with fansubs over at Crunchyroll.
