Yes. 
I'm just starting into VJing at the moment, have only really messed about with QuartzComposer and GrandVJ(Which I don't have anymore).
Waiting on a dingoo and a pocket VBLANK in the mail.
Can anyone advise on an alternative to the hideously expensive video mixers that seem like my only option at the moment?
I'm putting together a simple dirty mixer now, but that's no good.

No carriers presentation at blip was really awesome and the V4 does seem to have dropped in price a little recently?

Not entirely sure, it can always change. I was thinking glitchNES maybe, OR SQJ until I get a GBA Transverter sorted.
In retrospect, maybe I should of gone for a gp2x.

i was thinking of getting a gp2x for pikix, but im getting the pikix for ps2, which looks massively sexy.

i have developed for the gp2x (which is what i use to vj along with the gba) and though i don't have a dingoo from what i read development should be about the same - plus a faster processor i think. so should be fun. is there a wiki or similar describing the development tool chain for it? oh and if the author would allow someone to use the source code, i think pikix would be fairly straightforward to port to dingoo as well. disclaimer: i don't have one so i can't really do much to help now :-)

I started with pikilpita and glitchNES with customized palettes, now i'm using 2 laptops. One with all the emulators (SQJ, pikilpita and glitchNES), second laptop takes video out from there and edits it live or using captured footage imports it into grandVJ and gets mixed from there. You'll find a set up that works for you, if you wanted to use grandVJ i know they came out with a 250$ mixer that works with its own software and the grandVJ platform, I'm picking one up this month ill post how it is.
