I bought one of these on eBay, thinking it was a newer faster A320.
OMG, what a piece of junk. Nothing I installed would work with it and of the included emulators only the GBA worked well.
I did sort of like its size and weight. But that was the end of the honeymoon:
The battery, which is soldered to the board, was almost dead. It would not hold a charge at all. I got a refund for the $70.00 from the seller, who insisted that the A380e was not a knock-off b/c he got it from Think Geek. This device seems almost disposable in its build quality. I mean, you have to remove screws, pry open the case with a spudger, and solder 2 contacts just to replace the battery!
Anyway, I'm gonna stick with used Nintendo and Sony for all my budget handheld gaming needs: a knock-off of a knock-off is just too crappy for that price range when old PSPs and DSes are now less than $50.
Just curious: How well does the A320 work? As if I can ever get my hands on one for less than $50....
I'm primarily looking for SNES/NES/GBA + waaay old systems (Atari 2600, Coleco, TI99/4A, intellivision)
