I got the A320 today, but I accidentally deleted all of the games already on it while trying to format it. Now I cannot place roms into the games section no matter what I do. I made an NES file, downloaded the proper roms, unzipped them, and pasted them into the games section under the NES file. When I turn it on, the NES file I created was there but all of the games under it are not shown, it says there are no files to be found.

 

When I kept looking I found the game roms to be under the browser section, but I can't copy them over to the interesting games section. When I deleted all of the original games did the emulators go to? I tried re downloading the default emus again, and the file shows up, but it doesn't do anything. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.

From one super noob to aother super noob, I'll tell you this...

 

YOU SHOULD BACK UP BEFORE FORMATTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Now you'll probs need to download all the .sim files again, and that'll take you like an hour! Think of what you could be doing with that hour!

Download and install new firmware (I recomend the POF 1.20 version).

I see no need to up the firmware at this point, it's far more likely that you deleted your emulators during formatting. Download them again and place them in the GAME folder, as they are, not in separate folders or anything. Here are all the basic dingoo emulators: http://www.dingoo-digital.com/downloads/emulators/default-emulators

If, however, you already have those emulators in your GAME folder and your game roms still arent showing up then there might be some additional problem. But don't jump to firmware updating just yet, especially if you've never done it before, because you might just brick your dingoo FOREVER!
