jesus christ this is awesome. maybe it's old, but i've
never heard about it:

"Mini Handheld gaming system plays roms from your favorite 8
and 16 bit game consoles. No emulator software to load. Just
copy over the roms and start playing."

I play lots of snes games to this day but I can't stand
d-pads anymore. Analog stick or nothing, as far as I'm
concerned.

well i can't play snes games WITHOUT a d-pad. different
strokes for different folks.

i have a gp2x and its rather ace for pocket emulation, if a
few years old now, and the pseudo d-pad took ages to get
used to.

also, i will be amazed if the pandora ever gets
released. its over a year late and still no danger

They're just too hard on my old thumb. The analog stick on
the 360 controller glides like a dream and I've found it
even easier than a d-pad for games like Street Fighter that
require quarter-, half-, or full spins of the d-pad to do
certain moves.

huh. i didn't even know these emulation things existed.

those crazy asians probably invented these gadgets years
ago.

after some research i found that this Pocket Retro Game
Emulator is actually this.

it's really cheap too. i might get one.

i wouldn't get too excited, it's hard to tell how good the
emulation is from just a small video
but mostly i'm wondering how they could get away with the
cross-shaped d-pad, since nintendo patented that

I used to have a GP2X, which was really great, but I sold it
and got a DS with a CycloDS Evolution card instead (lets you
use microSD cards in it). As long as I can play James Pond
II: Robocod I'm happy :)

I agree with Guybrush on the Pandora, it's been a long time
coming and I doubt it'll ever be released at this rate...

james pond is awesome. used to have it on an amiga 500. aw,
those were the days.

dariusgriffin: i doubt they have all licenses necessary to
sell this emulator, but who cares? if it works, i'm happy.

cool, thanks.

yeah, sorry, my point was more that maybe it could be a
terrible d-pad like the one on the dreamcast to get around
the patent :)

I just wish someone would make a really nice and clean PC
equivalent. All those machines supported consistently in the
same package, with nice organization tools.

Of course I likely could have not been looking hard enough.

these gadgets look nifty but they're pricey and i can't help
but wonder how good the quality is, i.e how long until the
products begin to fail on you. they promote good quality,
but that means nothing, it could be good quality shit. there
doesn't seem to be any customer feedback on the website.
nevertheless, they managed to tickle my interest.

the GP2X was really high quality, I expect the A320 is at
least as good.

i'm happy with my DS+flash cart though... bizarrely I now
use my DS for playing the original Tetris more than I do
playing DS games.

the problem with the DS is that its screen is too small to
fully display pretty much anything but gameboy games
