Dingoo Digital Technology Dingoo A320 is a gaming handheld launched in 2009. Powered by JZ4732 (1-core, 360 MHz), 32 MB RAM. Features a 2.8" TFT LCD display (320 x 240). 1700 mAh battery. Runs Linux.

The Dingoo Digital Technology Dingoo A320 is a horizontal retro handheld launched in 2009, one of the devices that helped give rise to the modern emulation handheld scene. At its core is the Ingenic JZ4732 SoC, a single-core XBurst chip using the MIPS instruction set and clocked at 360 MHz, paired with 32 MB of RAM. The model is now discontinued.

In practice, NES, Game Boy Advance and Sega Master System games run fine, while Super Nintendo titles are playable but usually laggy. The list of supported platforms is broad, covering Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Sega Game Gear, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine, Neo Geo Pocket, ZX Spectrum, CHIP-8, ScummVM, MAME, Capcom Play System 1 and 2, Neo Geo and even PlayStation, but the modest performance makes 8-bit systems and GBA the real sweet spot.

The 2.8-inch TFT screen runs at 320 x 240 (QVGA) with a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 143 ppi, protected by a plastic lens. The 4:3 format displays classic games without black bars.

Controls consist of a cross D-pad placed in the upper position, four face buttons and L1 and R1 shoulder buttons, with no analog sticks and no rumble. The shoulder buttons are known to be prone to failure. There are also Hold and Reset buttons, a power switch, a microphone and dual stereo speakers facing downward. Measuring 125 x 55.5 x 14 mm and weighing 110 g, the plastic body slips easily into a pocket.

The 1700 mAh battery charges over Mini USB. The console offers AV out for connecting to a TV, a 3.5mm headphone jack and MiniSD storage in 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB variants. Volume and brightness are adjusted through the menu.

The stock operating system is µC/OS-II, and modding is permitted: the console supports OpenDingux, which brings Linux and a rich software library backed by a large fanbase.

Ideal for: retro hardware collectors, fans of 8-bit and Game Boy Advance games, and users who enjoy experimenting with alternative firmware.
