Dingo Y/B Fix: X/Y button switch

[ShockSlayer]

As some of you may know, the Dingoo has a flaw with the B and Y buttons, for some strange reason, the Y button is released when you press B. This affects SNES games, and I'm sure there are other games affected by this. I literally could not play Megaman X(could not charge and jump), so I had to come up with some way to fix this. So, with a simple DPDT switch, and a little remapping, I could play without having to sacrifice that same SNES layout. Here is an 8 minute video explaining everything, and showing it in action.

I have so got to get me one of those. Is dealextreme a good place to get one then? (the link inside your link)

This is the fastest decision I have made to spend $90 ever.

those sound pretty cool, but are they legal? i know you have to download the roms off the net, but wouldn't what promote piracy making it illegal? i'm asking this, because i don't like stealing. is it legal to download roms if you legally own games?

Which is why you won't see it for sale at your local Wal-Mart.

Well, despite the fact that tons of people have been wanting a fix for this, nobody payed any attention to my post on GP32X. Turns out they are in the midst of an epic battle for control of the community, with some moderators trying to scuttle the current forums to attempt a move to the Pandora Team's forums by force, some trying to fight it, and the long dormant server admin who has not been seen in over a year come into the fight.

I am sure when they figure out the whole mess they will care a bit.

Oh! And Zottd has a Dingoo, and is currently porting MAME to it. There are a few other GP2X devs getting them, so this should be awesome.

[ShockSlayer]

Sweet. If a dev like him needed it done, I would probably swap dingoo's with him

If you can configure the buttons, couldn't you just criss-cross the traces on the board (not bridge) like this

Code: Select all

____          
| ic |Y------\/------(x)
|____|X------/\------(y)

[ShockSlayer]

Yes, but a switch allows me to chose whether I like it or not.
