How do you like it so far?
You feeling all the issues that other people had? (mainly with build quality, mushy buttons etc)

I give up reading dingo board it's like half of Win crash with 3D games including mine. And looking on the web it looks like millions of google search show intel Gfx crash like this. I wasn't going to play any steam game just emulation and it works even dolphin , or remote play. And use it as a portable mini computer. Which is amazing for. It's just annoying that it may crash for others.
Hope this lead the way to other similar devices
I forgot who was in charge of developing the unofficial remote play apps. I updated today and it crash more often when quitting than before

Sweet. Out of curiosity, what did you tell them?

Buttons are mushy. Dpad is particularly terrible but I think changing the membrane might help. I like it a lot though. Haven't had a chance to do much, but it plays indies on steam perfectly.
Build quality is pretty ace and the screen is amazing.
Told them I bought a tablet from china and the key they gave me didn't work. Support used remote desktop on the Win and activated my key. Took ~20 minutes.
Awesome, thanks. I'll hopefully get mine sorted tonight.
Anyone here do the heatsink mod on the 8700? Also, someone mentioned beta Intel drivers earlier in the thread. Is there a link for those? Are they for DX12?
Ok this is the list of games that I tested with my GPD Win z8700

Nice. Mine has shipped and now I'm just waiting for it to be delivered. I ordered it from the official GPD store on aliexpress and they shipped it fairly quickly. I'm really looking forward to putting it through its paces.
The heat sink is a giant slab of copper that stretches across the device and the keyboard is literally laminated to the top of the heat sink.
Due to its design It'll always be warm to some degree except when you turn it on.
quick question here
my gpd charges super slow
like i left it on in sleep mode and it was losing power (before it was gaining power)
I completely turned the device off and charging it now but any suggestion on what i should do?
beside that, my gpd runs pretty great (played owlboy for an hour) and everything seem to function as it should

Finally found a 3D PS2 game runs smooth and is playable on this: Maximo Ghosts to Glory
A downside I'm finding with PC shooters is having to counter how sensitive the sticks are. Timesplitters 2 is a lot of fun to play because it has generous auto-aim.

I used the chat feature on their website. Did that not work for you?
try out the abomination that is Metal Slug 3d, which i saw worked super well
and wild arms 3 i think

I... I can't believe Metal Slug 3d is a thing. Mind blown.
No-I ended up having someone call me.

It's such a shame I don't own Metal Slug 3D. Such a shame.
Trying various PS2 and GameCube games has been interesting. I can never gauge which games are less taxing than others.
Where are you playing Time Splitters 2?
Games I played for an hour or more:
Owlboy-Runs well but the control scheme is kinda awkward at first
Rogue Legacy-Run well and looks amazing (colors really POP out)
Celestian Tales : Old North- run well but gamepad doesn't seem to work (mouse mode is easy enough to play with
Pokemon Uranium-Run super choppy which is odd since i figured this device would have enough juice for it (controls adapt well enough)
Streaming-Great and a nice way to play some games if i feel like laying down
Battery life is pretty good
Device charges slow as molasses sometimes so I rather turn it off then have it sleep
The keyboard is actually not bad alot I have no clue on how to use the f1 f2 keys
I don't see myself running anything 3D or anything super taxing so I might disable the turbo to keep the temps down and extend battery life
I hope someone makes an OT for this device, I think its pretty good and afterward when they get the troubled units out of the mix, I could see alot of people grabbing this.

Ok I updated the GDrive file with new games.
GC Emulation
- I tested Super Mario Sunshine in the PAL and USA versions. Both runs very well and are totally playable.
- I also tested Pikmin PAL and it runs pretty well
- Resident Evil 4, on the other side, runs poorly in larger areas
- Super Smash Bros Melee it's ok. It doesn't run at full speed but it's totally playable
PC Games
- Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition runs very well, I had problems only with the control scheme but was only sifficient to set the switch to DInput
- Dead Space also runs very well even with some graphic options activated
- Resident Evil 4 runs poorly also on its PC version. I don't know if it's because the game is on the SD card but it has a lot of slowdowns
Next days I will probably try:
PC
- Silent Hill 2
- Splinter Cell
- Simpsons Hit & Run
- No One Lives Forever 2
- Pure
- Call of Chtuluh
GC
- PN 03
- Time Splitters 2
- Pikmin USA
- 1080 Avalance
PSP
- Power Stone Collection
PS: If you have any suggestion to make RE4 run better you're welcome ^__^

Anyone know where I can snag one of these and possibly have it within 2 weeks? I'd rather not ebay, if at all possible
Out of luck maybe? GPD seems to have its hands full and Retailers are waiting for GPD to get their shit done to get more. Seems like Geekbuying is dicking some about saying they have stock but actually don't.

I wonder how well Genital Jousting will work on the GPD Win? Imagine being able to play this game out in public.

Man I'm thinking this is the case. I placed an order last week since their countdown timer said they'd be shipping on Monday. No word yet from them. What a shitshow.
Sorry no confirmation merely guessing on my part seems like as GPD has been in a rush to get IndieGoGo backers units,retailers, partners and now supposedly changing their production which has cost them a week and a half so far of not sending more units to backers.

Got it !
Well my gpd just got sent from geekbuying, ordered the batch from the first pre-order available i think, before the one up right now
A dude on reddit has his shipped the @ the same time; so there's more units out
When I ordered, the preorder count was in the high 500's now it's 1.3k
I don't know if that's a new batch of pre-orders or the same ones

Gonna drop the original text in case anyone wants to do better than the machine translation.
Oh GPD sells the kit needed to fix it for $0.10 on their Aliexpress store.

Listing has all the images showing what to do.
I'm gonna give it a shot rather than sending mine in for who knows how long.

This is for units that crashing often right?
Units that are fine shouldn't need the fixup's you think?
Or is it all intel chips

Took me an hour to get blue to work, apperanly it only works in windows 98 mode... what fps are you getting cause its almost unplayable On lowest settings
If yours works fine its not needed.
Basically changing out resistors on the motherboard to alter the voltage the cpu receives.
If you don't know how to solder and don't want to modify the device this is not for you.
A GPD employee posted this on dingoonity.
http://boards.dingoonity.org/gpd-wi...on-of-display-driver/msg157322/?boardseen#new
There are unknown risks but it sounds like this is what they'll be doing to units sent in for repairs anyways and I'm doing this myself because I'll be damned before I pay to ship mine back to them and wait at the very least a month to get it back if not longer and honestly I have no real desire to interact with GPD any more.
I'll accept the risk if this fixes my crashes, I already have a stronger fan coming and intend on modifying the heatsink anyways.
You mean Blur? If yes I noticed that it doesn't work on Internal memory of the GPD and on micro SD but it works on USB sticks and external HDD. I have to check the file systems... I have the suspect that the game has troubles with exFat
Edit: around 25 frames with 960*544

Well. My units isn't working properly so I want to do it but I have no knowledge ... need to find someone
What do I need to buy exactly ? Can't read on your link
They're rare but you may find some small electronics/hobby shop around that may be able to do it for a reasonable amount of money.
You may also have a makerspace nearby where you could find someone who could help possibly.
You'd need to find someone who is comfortable soldering tiny components.
This seems fairly simple but isn't really.
These are tiny and will be a small nightmare to do.
I can't stress enough to think this over carefully whether to find someone locally willing to do this or send it back to be repaired.
No matter how skilled a person may be there will be a small chance something could go wrong and even if GPD made a guide how to do it if something gets damaged its all on the owner and at that point you have a unrepairable brick and there won't be anything you can do short of buying a new device.
See if there are any local places nearby that repair electronics and get their opinion on it and go from there.
That kit GPD is selling on Aliexpress for 10 cents has a small length of tin solder, small length of .1mm copper wire and 1k and 10k resistors.
I think you only need one each of the resistors but it includes several spares cause those things are tiny.
