What about Emulation on the go?

Postby Kherr » Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:24 pm

Well, I have an answer for that. Check this site out after seeing this awesome piece (that yes, I did buy the moment I could)... You'll lose around 8 hours of your life drooling over everything... Especially the $1,600 keyboard comprised completely of individual LCD screens... :D

I have looked at these before and would seriously love one. I can't justify buying one at the moment although I do think that they are worth the money.

Anyone out there that wants to send me one to review please do so any time soon. :mrgreen: 8-)

Im curious to know if everything the guy said in the review is actually true. I loved how he said the NES was fine but then he had to ruin it and say the SNES was not so good =(

Since I've actually got one I can say that the majority of what he says is correct. The SNES emulator is for crap, the MegaDrive doesn't work apparently because I used to have EVERY Genesis game ever made (In fact I had a rom for EVERY game from EVERY SEGA CONSOLE except Dreamcast...) and none worked... the GBA emulator is perfect actually, and the other emulators are too hard to get ANYTHING to run at all because they're not simple rom files, and you have to use some sort of third party software to create the files for the emus to pick up so yea... I'd just stick with NES and GBA emulation if I were you... BUT the video player is nice (I recommend using headphones with the video because it's super quiet, but you can hear good with the headphones...) but it does have a low bitrate like he said. The MP3 player is perfect, the radio is for crap, barely keeps a signal, the MIC is for crap, doesn't work at all I'm afraid... only garbled noise if you try to use it (I may have a defective unit, but who knows)... The E-Book reader is great, the browser is perfect, and the TV OUT is PHENOMENAL (well except that you have to sit EXTREMELY close to your tv because it's got some SUPER SHORT cables... BUT I have a fix for that as well, buy three couplers for RCA cables and buy a set of 6 foot RCA R/W/Y cables and you're set)! All in all it's COMPLETELY worth the $100 USD for it. I recommend it to everyone whom just wants a perfectly running NES/GBA in one. :D

If it wasnt for the crappy SNES emulator, I would absolutely be all over that! Some of my favorite games comes from the SNES so that is definitely a necessity for me. Great to hear an actual review from you too. Thanks

No problem, but I'm serious... the SNES wasn't as good as the NES (although I did primarily purchase it to play Super Metroid on the go even with the lag, but it's really bad, it makes the SNES almost unplayable...)
