It's a Dingoo. Check the specs for yourself:

You can check out the emulators available here:

Edit: I don't actually have one. I have a Wiz and I think it's pretty great.

cool, thanks. i don't have time to play the games i download from gog, let alone the games i could play if i got one of these portable emulator playing doodads.

it seems like a nice idea though.

Looks cool. If it works as well as a gameboy DS and if the d-pad isn't too small, then I'd buy it. I hate small d-pad's. I don't see the advantage of a small d-pad, and the d-pad on this thing looks too small. That would be a deal breaker.

As mentioned, I have a Wiz and it works quite well. It seems to be keeping its value better than the Dingoo as it almost has as much power as the newer Caanoo but, for whatever reason, developers are apparently still supporting the Wiz more than the Caanoo. The only complaint with the Wiz is a "diagonal tearing" effect in some emulators.

Or, you could just get an iPhone and iControlPad.

Or a cheaper Android phone. The Xperia Play has physical buttons for this sort of thing, but almost any Android device can run GBA, GBC, PSX, Atari and possibly even DOS and SCUMM games with the proper emulators, most of which are free on the Market.
