can run NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy Advance, Neo-Geo and even some Capcom arcade games.

I guess my modded psp slim can do the same stuff....

It looks like a sexy little GB Micro. Kind of expensive though.

It's rather expensive for an emulation machine. The PSP can be had for... not much more, has a bigger screen, and once hacked, can run all those games plus the PSP library.

Sweet mercy do I love my PSP. I took it into the shower once and slipped and fell on it now it's in my colon.

I've been considering it off and on lately, but never bit yet.

It's tiny tho!

The real question about this thing, afaic, is how good are the emulators? I suspect that the NES and Genesis EMUs are probably pretty good - there have been other Chinese handheld clone machines released that have demonstrated that they can do those fairly well - but I'll be the SNES, NeoGeo and arcade EMUs are nothing to write home about; in fact, they may not even be reasonably playable... Until I see lots of Youtube videos demoing lots of working games, I'm not willing to risk my dosh...

They probably just stole existing emulators rather than coding new ones.
