Downloading the ROMs would take more effort, but at the same time you could get an entire ROM set so you wouldn't be limited to what came with the SD card, plus if you're just using it to try out games you've never played before you'd want to try out all the games so you'd be forced to download them all anyway. You don't have to stay by the computer while it's downloading either so it's not that time consuming. I guess it's just personal preference really.
Good question and I get that too. Easy answer, portability, and that's it. I would NEVER use it to test out games except as a last resort. I'd rather get the chinese old firmware everdrive. I don't have a SD card yet for the atgames thing anyway (and I also have their actually accurate GG/SMS one too which was pre-developed before ATGames got it from Sega under their newer license.)

I'm not sure how many Genesis games are skipped on that Chinese card, but the better link Niku gave for it on aliexpress shows there's 500+USA games, 400+JP and 500+EU/PAL stuff and I skimmed the lists and they do have some overlap but stuff only certain regions got only show in that region so if it's not a full set I'd bet it's extremely close. That's why I said that the other day as it's just wiser to buy this older one and save a crap ton of time, effort, and cataloging games when someone else already did it in differing folders in alphabetical order.


I could say a heap but AZ -- Very well said, all of it, the pick and choose whining hypocrisy, the rumors over bricking everdrives from china, and the rest. It's like it's ok to steal one way but not the other. Picking your flavor of illegality is like going FULL RETARD, and you never go full retard.
