My guess is that they use a non-standard pinout on that usb socket then. I don't recall exactly what that message means... Would you mind still trying the steps in the guide I posted and see if there is an 'unknown device' listed there?

See if you can get street fighter 3 to work.

I fully agree. It's a neat little device, but at current, it's pretty much one of those "game playing MP3" devices that are common from China. This one seems to put the monies normally associated with the LCD screens into a better processor, a wired controller and more plastic / PCB real estate.
The only bright thing I see here is that this unit uses the same processor family as the popular Dingoo, but a step up. I think the company is hoping for a similar following, with custom firmware, Linux, etc. being put out by enthusiast. If I had to make a prediction, I would think this was a good possibility considering the price point and capabilities. But what the company is claiming, doesn't seem to be there yet, unless there are a whole bunch of hidden options no-one seems to be aware of yet.
I was hopeful as well. :-\

That's pretty much what I did with mine. The mini-USB port on the side is obviously how they load the internal memory and firmware. But like most of these devices, there needs to be a bootstrap procedure of some nature to get to it. There is either a special, custom driver that no-one else has, or there is, as I have seen on some MP3 players, a button combo one needs to press at power up, which puts the device into "receive" mode. There is usually a special piece of software that needs to be used at that point as well.
Hopefully they will open it up to developers soon, or at least come up with a way to provide the functionality they describe on the box. It could be decent little gizmo with Linux on it.
