Gaming
emulation isn't exactly the
most legal activity you can take up -- as such, we can't help but admire the bravado of
Chinavision's brilliantly named device. CVFH-N03-4G, pictured above. Housed within its minuscule frame is the ability to emulate games from the NES, SNES, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genesis, SNK Neo-Geo and Capcom's arcade platforms, CPS1 and CPS2. It also plays a number of audio, video and image formats, and apparently serves as an e-book reader using text-to-speech technology.
In other words,
for just $87.31, you can pick up a device that's capable of playing every form of pirated media known to mankind. Thanks, technology!

At the risk of inciting internet rage, I shall say this - Do want.
Insight @ Apr 5th 2009 12:12PM
Snap, it plays FLAC files too. REALLY do want.
Spartan @ Apr 5th 2009 1:00PM

Sounds nice at a sub $100 price. Awesome for on the go gaming cheaply (if somewhat illegally *cough*ROMS*cough*). With all of the consoles it emulates, this sounds suspiciously like a piece of hardware running the MAME emulator and perhaps another emu or three for the Nintendo systems.

The Dingoo is VERY cool. I have one playing MP3s in my shirt pocket now, and I've used the thing all day long as we walked around the cherry blossom festival in DC. I have over 100 ROMs on the device, covering the Neo Geo, Capcom's arcade machine, GBA and NES.
Worth every penny. It also plays Flash video, so you can take anything from YouTube using keepVid.com

Pirating NES games is a victimless crime, like smoking pot or peeing on hobos.
Olicon @ Apr 6th 2009 7:19AM
I can only say..wow.
Yeah, I want one too.
Just imagine--10 years from now, they'd have another portable emulator for all this gen's games. Wouldn't that be so awesome?
Even if it's 10 years old, the prospect of say, Gears of Wars/KZ2 on the go...OMG.
Quattro @ Apr 6th 2009 7:24AM
As long as it doesn't work like a very cheap product, I am interested.
Duke @ Apr 6th 2009 11:17AM
The reviews of the Dingoo (which is this same thing) look to be pretty darn good. I have to admit that I am thinking of grabbing one too.

Looks legit, guys.
Ridgecity @ Apr 6th 2009 2:45AM
I wonder if it runs Hulu? Seems this is China's answer to the PSP...
Ryan Hamilton @ Apr 5th 2009 12:16PM
Damn, that would be nice when you're sitting the toilet. I'd get cramps though, because I'd never leave the toilet.
Comtar @ Apr 5th 2009 12:23PM
Becareful about that, there was a news story about a woman who sat on a toilet for over 2 years and she somehow..... became one with the toilet, her skin actually grew around the seat and started trying to consume the toilet... not kidding. Human body is scary sometimes.

Morisato @ Apr 5th 2009 12:32PM
That's unbelievable without pictures...
Batzarro @ Apr 6th 2009 12:50AM
That raises various questions. But I'm keeping it to the point: How in the hell does one have a boyfriend when one spends 2 full years in what I can only assume was a stinky lavatory?
Courtney @ Apr 6th 2009 1:14AM
Dammit, I hate seeing that story referenced, as it happened in Kansas (and only about 30 minutes from where I grew up).
I swear, we never make the national news unless we've managed to outlaw evolution again or some yahoo has gone and done something stupid.
The Baron @ Apr 6th 2009 6:41AM
Let's face it, sitting on a toilet so long that your skin becomes one with the seat is pushing the boundaries of 'stupid'.
dqham @ Apr 6th 2009 9:59PM
are you in wichita?
Rob Accomando @ Apr 5th 2009 12:16PM
Although the PSP can do this, I still wants one. =)
Rhamsey @ Apr 5th 2009 2:05PM
yeah, my ds plays all of those too, plus it can do ds games as well. i dont think you can rom gba games on the ds though, but with a slot 2 device you can.
JayVe @ Apr 5th 2009 8:14PM
Having both one of these emulators and a PSP, I can tell you that they aren't the same. The Dingoo emulator does Neo Geo better than the PSP, and also plays Capcom arcade games (CP1/CP2) amazingly well.
This thing is also much smaller, and portable than a PSP, with a battery that WILL NOT QUIT! I've played MP3 files for +16 hours straight!
Ray @ Apr 5th 2009 12:18PM
Wow, I actually want one of these. Too cool.
rent-a-knight @ Apr 5th 2009 12:19PM
I was reading some reviews from http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20217
and it seems that the Snes and Genesis emulators are not up to date. Most games will not run smoothly. And if it's true, the main website for this product has been hacked.
Chris @ Apr 5th 2009 12:21PM
"Capcom's arcade platforms, CPS1 and CPS2"
This thing would have been amazing with a 6 button layout.
MowDownJoe @ Apr 5th 2009 3:42PM
I THINK I see shoulder buttons... can't tell...
zuburi @ Apr 5th 2009 4:48PM
There are indeed shoulder buttons.

StarFoxA @ Apr 5th 2009 12:27PM
Dang, it doesn't play CPS3? No Street Fighter III...
JXCgunrunna @ Apr 5th 2009 12:30PM
Oh Damn
Brian @ Apr 5th 2009 12:30PM
But can it run (insert name of game that would never run properly on anything lesser then a respectable gaming rig for obvious reasons, thus rendering the question pointless to ask...)?
Why does the charger on the product page look like it has rusty prongs?
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 5th 2009 2:59PM
But can it run: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
no? mmk then.
sony boy @ Apr 5th 2009 12:30PM
speaking of book readers...where the hell are the books for the psp?!?!? I want to read some books...
a hacked psp could probably do this tho..

Your PSP only lasted 2 years?
Spartan @ Apr 5th 2009 1:05PM
i heard about this new technology.
Where they can put the infomation from ebooks on thin pieces of paper.
igetgames @ Apr 5th 2009 1:06PM
Bookr is a very polished text/pdf/ebook reader for PSP:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bookr/
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 5th 2009 3:01PM
yeah i have bookr. its great. how could you have a CFW PSP for 2 years without knowing that? i've had mine for 1 year and i have it tricked out with homebrew games and apps.
PS - look up boxhead PSP style. its so fun.
sony boy @ Apr 5th 2009 3:18PM
i told u i dont have CFW
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 5th 2009 3:40PM
oh nvm you said unhacked. my bad
PN04 @ Apr 5th 2009 6:37PM
There's a free program called PSP Ebook Creator that lets you turn a text file into JPGs formated for the PSP screen either horizontal of vertically it's very legible and you can play music while you;re reading since it's using the picture viewer. the only downside is that you can't book mark pages but as long as you dont interrupt the page numbers by playing a game you can usually put it into sleep mode and come right back to the same page you last read.
Spartan @ Apr 5th 2009 9:36PM
i meant to say thin pieces of wood, but you knew where i was going.
so, so tired.
coolforever4537 @ Apr 5th 2009 12:33PM
Damn, I'd want one of these. I wonder if it also plays MAME games.
istuffedsunny @ Apr 5th 2009 12:41PM
For the lazy pirate...on the go?
Spartan @ Apr 5th 2009 1:41PM
arrrghh
now me pyriting will be so much more portable
it helps when ye can ye booth with ya.
Spartan @ Apr 5th 2009 9:35PM
booth = booty
Mabui @ Apr 5th 2009 12:47PM
Hrm.. looks like a Micro - but sexy.
Mabui @ Apr 5th 2009 12:50PM
I wonder what the battery life is like though - that would be important.
Insight @ Apr 5th 2009 2:07PM
The Micro is very sexy. I have one sitting like five feet to my side, it's a really good system if you don't already have a GBA or a DS. Even then, it's still worth owning.
WiredKnight @ Apr 5th 2009 3:10PM
It looks like the bottom half of a DS Lite.
I don't know how you missed that.
Anticrawl @ Apr 5th 2009 9:19PM
The Gameboy Micro is very sexy. My fingers make love to my Famicom edition at least once a day. But now I have a DSi, so Famicom is a bit jealous.
Van Faulk @ Apr 5th 2009 12:47PM
So it is essentially 50% of the reason for a CFW psp. For 90 bucks? That's pretty awesome.
sorensilk @ Apr 5th 2009 12:51PM
It's got text-to-speech technology? The Kindle 2 is getting in some trouble for including that because its legality is questionable. These guys might want watch out. They could get into some legal trouble for including that feature...
;)
