    no dead pixels.
    face buttons are closer together.
    d-pad is the same size and shape as a real SNES controller, but pretty stiff. needs breaking in.
    yoshi's island does not work. loads nintendo logo, then black screen.
    super mario rpg works.

    gotta go. looks like i'll have to do another in-depth video review like i did with the pokefami dx, but from first impressions, i'm very, very happy with it (mostly because of the screen), yoshi's island aside.
    Forgot to mention the sound - there are pluses and minuses here. The MAJOR plus is that the screen doesn't distort due to the sound - no matter how loud you turn the volume up. On the flip side, the speakers are tinny and the left one already sounds like it's blown. At mid volume, things are fine, and I'm still most likely to play with headphones anyway - but at least that horrible feedback in the picture is gone. I can't overstate how happy that makes me. More to come, but the next couple of weeks are pretty busy. Keep bugging me with questions and I'll do my best to answer 'em!

    p.s. Apple headphones still don't work here - just like my Pokefami DX.
    p.p.s. the "RDP-only" Retroport works fine with the Pokefami DX.
