hen you suggest to people

to switch to Linux, what’s

their reaction? In my

experience there have been a

number of stock responses to the

mention of the ‘L’ word. The first is

fear of the unknown. For light and

casual users they often try to

overlook the fact that Windows

slows down their ageing laptops, and

put up with a bloated OS and fork

out for virus protection that further

slows down their systems. But why?

It’s because Windows is already

installed, and it’s all they have ever

known. For the most part it does the

job of letting them browse the

internet, create documents and

send and receive emails. The

frustrating thing is: Linux can let

them do this as well, and a lot faster.

Ironically Microsoft is losing the

familiarity card with Windows 8 – a

great time perhaps to remind people

of the Ubuntu distro’s ease of use,

and Mint’s familiar desktop layout.

Do not fear change

Another reaction I get is from people

who know a bit more about Linux,

but have got it into their heads that

it’s all a massive faff of impenetrable

terminal commands, driver issues

and unreliable software. It’s an out of

date – if not completely wrong –

view of the state of Linux. There are

distros where everything you need

to do can be achieved through a

friendly graphical interface. You’d

never need to use the terminal, but

then the beauty is that it’s still there

if you want to dig a little deeper. As

for drivers, there’s no guarantee that

Windows would behave any better.

In brief...

Two kits for

quickly installing

powerline

networks and

expanding Wi-Fi

signals

throughout your

house.

y dad has a problem; he lives

in rural France. Not that

there’s much wrong with that,

as the beautiful scenery and decent

wine that’s cheaper to buy by the bottle

than mineral water attests. The real

problem is the thick stone walls that

prop up his house – they do just as

good a job of stopping Wi-Fi signals as

they do keeping out the cold. It’s a

similar story for many of us living in

Northern Europe, or anywhere where

the history is as long as the winters are

chill. Whilst the Wi-Fi repeaters favoured

by our American cousins are fine for

thinner walls and houses over fewer

stories, elsewhere it’s the powerline

(also known as ‘homeplug’) solutions

that are proving to be the best way to

increase the coverage of our networks.

Wi-Fi capable

The two powerline kits we look at here,

the Devolo dLAN 500 WiFi Network Kit

and the Netgear Powerline 500 WiFi

Access Point, have a lot in common,

most notably the built-in Wi-Fi antennae

that take the networks that travel

through a building’s powerlines, and

broadcast them as a Wi-Fi network. All

you need to do is plug one of the

adapters into a wall socket near your

modem or router, and connect to it via

an Ethernet network cable — two are

included in the box with the Netgear

Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point kit,

which is a nice bonus for anyone who

has brought home a new bit of kit, only

to find they need to go back out to buy

make sure you have a good spread of

Wi-Fi throughout the house. You can

also buy a cheaper kit that includes just

two devices, and you can buy additional

dLAN 500 WiFi units to increase the

range. The Netgear kit, on the other

hand, comes with just two adapters,

though you can also buy additional

ones to boost your coverage.

The body of the dLAN 500 duo

adapter is small and discreet, which

means it can be easily hidden away.

However, because of its size, and the

fact that it’s an entry-level product,

there’s no plug socket passthrough,

unlike the more expensive Devolo dLAN

500 AVplus. A passthrough means you

don’t lose a power socket when you use

a powerline adapter, and it can also be

used to filter the power supply,

strengthening the network connection

and minimising interference. The other

adapters included in the kit are dLAN

500 WiFi units. Again, they are small

and compact, but come with just one

Ethernet port for non-Wi-Fi devices.

A quick touch of a button can turn the

Wi-Fi signal on or off, and another

button lets you quickly pair up the

adapter with the others. They are only

single band, but can broadcast up to

801.11n, which offers fast and strong

wireless signals. Each unit can

WiFi and Netgear Powerline 500 homeplug kits.

Devolo vs Netgear

This handy app for the Devolo kit can be installed in Ubuntu and lets you view

the health of your network, as well as troubleshoot any problems.

The kit with three adapters gives you plenty of scope for

expanding your network over a medium to large house.

all the missing cables. The Devolo kit

comes with only one Ethernet cable,

which is a shame.

Both devices also have HomePlug

AV2 500 technology built inside them,

which is the latest powerline networking

tech, with theoretical speeds of up to

500Mbps. It’s designed for traffic-heavy

networks, where there’s a lot of

downloading, streaming and moving

files all happening between mulitple

devices at the same time.

“The body of the dLAN

Access Point was also incredibly easy to

set up – we just plugged the adapters

into two sockets and they found each

other straightaway. The kit comes with

a disc containing a setup utility, though

it’s optional to use, which is just as well

as it won’t run on Linux. Although the

installation is so straightforward there’s

little need for the setup utility, during

the setup procedure on a Windows PC

or Mac, the software prompts you to

add encryption and a password to the

wireless network the adapters

broadcast. Without running the setup

application and just plugging in the

adapters, they’ll begin broadcasting an

unprotected wireless network by default

– which could be a serious security

concern. Thankfully, a password can be

easily added via the web interface,

using a browser to navigate to the

adapter’s IP address, but it is still an

annoying oversight.

Transfer speeds

To test out both powerline network kits,

we hooked up two PCs at either end of

a house and measured how fast they

transferred a 2GB file between them.

broadcast their own network SSID,

effectively creating a number of

separate wireless networks around your

home, or they can be used to project

the same network throughout your

house. This option, that uses Wi-Fi Move

technology, is particularly useful if you

don’t want to have to type in passwords

for a number of different wireless

networks in your home.

Pocket-sized Power

The Netgear Powerline 500 Wi-Fi

Access Point is also small and compact,

with just a single Ethernet port and no

passthrough. It doesn’t have the Wi-Fi

Move tech of the Devolo, so each Wi-Fi

equipped adapter will create a brand

new wireless network. If you have a lot

of adapters, you’ll soon see a rather

crowded collection of wireless SSIDs.

We much prefer Devolo’s approach,

which keeps things manageable. The

adapter with the wireless access point

has an LED light that changes colour

depending on the strength of the signal

it is getting through the socket. This is

a nice touch that can help you choose

the optimal place to plug it in. Another

button on the adapter lets you quickly

set up powerline security, which is

handy for people in shared houses or

flats that use the same power lines.

Setting up the Devolo dLAN 500 WiFi

Network Kit was remarkably easy, and

the three units found and

communicated with each other

straightaway. Further tweaks to the new

network are done quickly and easily

with Devolo’s easy to use dLAN Cockpit

software, which as well as being

compatible with Ubuntu and other

Debian-based distros comes as an app

for iPhones and Android devices.

The Netgear Powerline 500 WiFi

Transfer speeds for the Devolo were

66.08Mbps on average between the

two machines, not bad – and plenty of

scope for streaming media – but we’ve

seen much faster speeds with other

competing powerline adapters, such as

the Linksys Powerline HomePlug AV2

Kit PLEK500, which managed speeds

of 107.28Mbps – almost twice as fast,

though it doesn’t come with Wi-Fi built-

in. The Netgear Powerline 500 WiFi

Access Point’s speeds were also not too

bad, with 67.43Mbps recorded, a bit

faster than the Devolo’s speeds but

again well below the Linksys. It’s enough

for the internet and streaming standard

definition movies, but for large files of

HD media, you’ll want something faster.

With speeds this close we need to

look at which powerline network kit

offers the most features, and with the

Wi-Fi move and Linux-compatible dLAN

Cockpit software, we’re going to name

the Devolo dLAN 500 WiFi Network Kit

as the best Wi-Fi-capable powerline

network adapter kit. That said, the

Netgear Powerline 500 WiFi Access

Point is a decent choice too, with higher

speeds but a few security flaws.

Reviews handheld console

In brief...

A portable

handheld retro

gaming emulator

and media player,

with heaps of

potential. See

also: Open

Pandora or the

GP2X Caanoo

Game System.

Out of

the box, the

Dingoo A330 is

capable of

emulating a whole host

of classic consoles and

handhelds: NES, SNES, Sega

Mega Drive, GBA, Neo Geo and the

CPS1 and 2 arcade system boards.

It can also play back a variety of

video files, via the PlayStation-esque

XMB, as well as audio, photo and text.

However, the real benefit of the A330 is

the fact that all the homebrew

community-developed extras and

applications can be added relatively

easily to the default Dingoo OS.

Homebrew extras

A quick search for the many

community pages and you will find a

wealth of other emulators, extra media

players and even a Linux distro that you

can installed and run through the main

OS layer. Operating the Dingoo is

extremely easy – simply execute the

emulator in question and point it to a

valid game file, or browse through the

game files individually and the relevant

emulator will launch upon execution.

It’s worth bearing in mind, however,

that some emulators will only work with

very specific game files, but it’s not too

difficult to convert any existing backup

game files into a format that the stock

A330 emulator will be able to work with

without protest.

The gaming quality produced from

the pre-installed emulators are as near

to perfect as you would expect.

The Sega Mega Drive emulator we

tested was excellent, and performed

without any loss in graphics, sound or

gameplay. Admittedly, the sound was a

little squeaky due to the small speakers,

and the buttons were mapped

differently depending on the game;

mulating the computers and

consoles of the past must be a

big thing at the moment in

China, as the slew of imported

emulation devices that are appearing

on various gadgets sites attest.

The Dingoo A330, from Dingoo Digital

Technologies, is one of these devices,

and goes some distance towards

bringing you an all-round, lovable retro

gaming feel.

The A330 is a fairly impressive unit;

its look greatly resembles a PSP, but is

roughly the size of a Nintendo DS. It has

a D-Pad that doesn’t feel too ‘squishy’

or loose, and a four-button XYBA

arrangement with two additional

shoulder buttons, along with the usual

Start and Select. The buttons feel well

designed with very little travel, and play

remarkably well, considering the

inexpensive nature of the device. The

screen is a 2.8-inch, 16M colour LCD

with a maximum resolution of 320 x

240, with a set of stereo speakers on

the underside of the unit. This, generally

speaking, is more than enough for

emulation purposes.

There is also a miniUSB port

available for charging and file transfers,

along with a TV-OUT jack, headphone

socket and a Mini-SD expansion slot,

which can house up to 16GB cards.

Disappointingly, though, there isn’t a

hardware volume control, the volume is

handled, rather awkwardly, by using a

combination of the left shoulder button

and down on the D-Pad.

The CPU is an Ingenics JZ4740

MIPS running at 336MHz with 64MB

RAM and a 4GB internal NAND storage

device, which offers enough power to

emulate most classic machines.

Powering this little lot is the 3.7V

battery, which can last up to roughly

seven hours under normal conditions.

If classic gaming on the go is your idea of heaven, then you’ll be in retro

Valhalla with the Dingoo A330, as David “Hadouken” Hayward explains.

Verdict

Developer: Dingoo Digital

Web: http://dingoo-digital.com

Price: £84.99

The Dingoo A330LE,

a versatile handheld for

the classic gamer.

The speaker

output can be

a little on the

tinny side, but

headphones

can fix this.

however, it’s easy to work out which

button does what, and the sound

problems can be fixed with a half

decent set of headphones.

Overall, the Dingoo A330LE is a fairly

robust unit. It feels sturdy and is light

enough to slip into the pocket without it

becoming annoying. The emulation is

fantastic, and is worth it for the Mega

Drive handheld gaming alone, but some

of the homebrew emulators may

require a fair bit of work to get them

going. The Dingoo A330LE rated well

above some of its competitors, and has

a wealth of features that offer great

potential for future modding and classic

retro gaming.
