doesnt exist

2018-02-17 22:33:59 UTC  

you could try amazon return if your really bothered about the dead pixle lol

2018-02-17 22:34:58 UTC  

yeah well it's a single pixel and i already tore down the console to put Dingux on it

2018-02-17 22:36:23 UTC  

how easy is it to flash?

2018-02-17 22:36:52 UTC  

@bentech looks like a diy retrode

2018-02-17 22:37:11 UTC  

quite easy, the hardest part is opening the console to get the sd card that is inside

2018-02-17 22:37:51 UTC  

but if you have a screwdiver and know how to use it you should manage to open it

2018-02-17 22:41:58 UTC  

which OS is the one to use lol

2018-02-17 22:49:36 UTC  

Gnu/Linux, the distro created by steward-fu on github

2018-02-17 22:49:51 UTC  

there is a download link on dingoonity

2018-02-17 22:50:04 UTC  

on the RS-97 thread page 45 i believe

2018-02-17 22:50:23 UTC  

between page 40 and 46 let's say

2018-02-17 22:51:18 UTC  

They seem like neat little handhelds, I'm gonna grab one when/if they go on sale

2018-02-17 22:51:31 UTC  

<:chink:323022148870602752> just when I thought I was out of the chink shit, they pull me back in

2018-02-17 22:51:39 UTC  

oh ok yea

2018-02-17 22:51:42 UTC  

the steward fu one

2018-02-17 22:51:43 UTC  

hmm

2018-02-17 22:52:00 UTC  

It's like cylical

2018-02-17 22:52:19 UTC  

Dingoo kind of handhelds go out of style for a while and then come back

2018-02-17 23:18:32 UTC  

it even just uses the same family of chip

2018-02-17 23:18:33 UTC  

lol

2018-02-17 23:21:25 UTC  

I think the same thing might be happening with the clone gb/c things, I've noticed a lot less shops carrying them, and the non-color model seems to be gone.

2018-02-17 23:21:56 UTC  

yea

2018-02-17 23:22:03 UTC  

id get a rs-97 over them tbh

2018-02-17 23:22:21 UTC  

then again the rs-97 uses the same shell as the og gba clone lol

2018-02-17 23:22:24 UTC  

(revo k101)

2018-02-17 23:22:35 UTC  

I was just looking for the non color one, because it's compatible with a lot of gb pocket mods

2018-02-17 23:22:59 UTC  

Because it's a hardware clone

2018-02-17 23:25:07 UTC  

I've just always found little trends like that interesting. Like you could track the hipster film camera scene by the time frame in which crap film camera were prevalent on AliExpress.

2018-02-17 23:25:46 UTC  

i suppose the gb clone trend was always gonna end with some sort of new dingoo device lol\

2018-02-17 23:26:10 UTC  

are those gameboy clones worth it

2018-02-17 23:26:11 UTC  

i kinda want one

2018-02-17 23:26:13 UTC  

It is kinda interesting that they are using k101 molds

2018-02-17 23:26:19 UTC  

So it depends

2018-02-17 23:26:37 UTC  

The color model has a fucky aspect ratio, but it's okay

2018-02-17 23:26:48 UTC  

The non color has the correct aspect ratio

2018-02-17 23:27:12 UTC  

Both have slightly faster crystals in them than og gbs, so they play ever so slightly fast

2018-02-17 23:27:55 UTC  

But, they are hardware clones, so it really evens out

2018-02-17 23:28:30 UTC  

If you'd be bothered by a slightly rectangular screen, then I'd say skip.

2018-02-17 23:28:51 UTC  

ill prob just get a rs 97 tbh lol

2018-02-17 23:29:20 UTC  

i dont really have any nostgialia for gameboy games tbh
