but I'm tempted to get one, my only reservation is that a company that makes such shady hardware may be a rip-off merchant....

These little hand-held units ARE perfectly legal. The market is flooded with the things at the moment, and cost between £9.99 and £49.99. I'd rather pay a hell of a lot more and have the REAL thing. And on the subject of tack and nastiness, I'm convinced RDJ was at a boot fair in Swansea the other day! Totally convinced of it.

I am doubting the legitimacy of this...
You should check out MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) for your PC. All the classics, all for free...

Roms have been taken down now sadly... doesn't look like they're going back up. Do you know of anywhere good that still does them/sells complete mame set cds?

I don't need TV out as I have a 22" TFT monitor and Surround sound on my PC. I want one of those joysticks advertised on mame.dk :)

It's made from the same components as modern arcade machines (tekken 4 etc.) It'd be so cool for 2 player beat em ups :)

i've seen products similar to this, and they are legal and usually aren't shady, but this one seems to be.
I would also just stick to mame, and now that I know they are on soulseek and kazaa (never thought to try it before), the possibilities are endless. :)
