    Hi Everyone,

    For those who haven't really seen any of these, I figured it would be interesting to share some photos with people.

    @Hawanja: Heh, probably because these don't often leave the safe-haven of "no copyright" China.

    @Jamtex: But of course. I'm sure the labelling has nothing to do with Nintendo :)

    Maybe I should write my point better, if it did play GBA games then it would be better then the real thing as it has a headphone socket...

    That first one seems to be a Dingoo A320.

    Any more info on the GBA units with SD slots? Are they the same as the ones that Assem posted about here? Can't remember if those had SD slots or not.

    Notice on the PSP slim it says "Made in Japan" hahahaha, looks like the Chinese people are figuring on to the shite their country makes so now they are lying about who makes the crap. :lol:

    While in the Philippines I noticed a slew of different psp knock offs, to varying degree of how real they looked.

    The build quality is terrible usually (as we all know) and much of what I saw just ran built in NES roms.

    I'm pretty sure the Nintendo Lite is just a Dingoo A320 reboxed.

    Thought i´d shed some light on the Nintendo Lite, hence my first post! Great forum guys! :pray:

    The Nintendo Lite is one of the many Sunplus based players from China, most are shaped like a PSP or the Dingoo. No wonder they´re ripping off the Dingoo, if you consider it´s huge success (at least 2 million units).
    It looks very much like this one e.g.: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6856714519
    Have a look at this thread for more chinese gaming oddities (LOTS of pics!).

    On the bottom of the thread there are also pics of this Nintendo Lite with a different name ofcourse. Quite frankly said, these Dingoo clones are shit, the CPU is slow and emulation sucks. But if you want one, they are quite cheap, 50$: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39270
    The Dingoo Scene Blog mentioned it aswell.

    Can´t beat the original though, so spend 35$ more for the Dingoo! ;-)

    If you haven´t noticed yet, i am Dingoo crazy, so if you have questions, feel free to ask! :nod:

    edit: Some info on a GBA clone, i think there are a few variants out there but none run all games fullspeed, most run at 80% speed.
    LOL at the link posting here, it (or i) sucks tbh. :p

    Another edit (haha sorry): The Nintendo Lite may not be Sunplus based after all, someone over at GP32X bought a PMP3100 and it has an Ingenics jz4725 (Dingoo has jz4740) and 16 MB ram (Dingoo has 32 MB), so it mght even be hackable to some extent, but i guess it´s not worth the trouble.

    LOL
    There´s a pink clone for only 30$: http://www.mp4nation.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=17845
    But i read the buttons are placed wrong/unplayable in all emulators, have a look at Dingoonity´s PMP8000 forum if interested (after that you won´t be anymore).
    Also you can buy cheap Dingoo replacement housings at dealextreme, paint it. ;)
    Oh, and have a look at this Dingoo Arcade cab!
    :D
