This is apparently compatable with every Mega Drive & Genesis cartridge aswell as having 20 in built games. I wonder if Master System games would work via a converter aswell then.

I'm tempted to buy one, wonder if the screen blurs like the Sega Nomad. Seems like a good price, wonder if there's a UK distributor as shipping might be expensive outside of the states....

That sounds pretty awesome, wonder if the screen has a backlight like the GBA SP (which is pretty unplayable with the light off). The Hyperkin website doesn't seem to have it on though, which is a bit weird.

Rechargable battery is a pretty sweet bonus point

Arrow Flash though... what a weird choice of game to build in!

Just buy a PSP and hack it to run emulators, or a DS and an R4 card.

Handheld gaming is all about portability. Lugging all your SMS carts around kind of defeats the object of handheld gaming...

I've always wanted a Sega Nomad and am excited over this offering as it's about a 3rd of a price of one and hopefully have a better screen.

I wouldn't want a PSP (be frightened to damage it) so this is alright to rough up a bit and chuck at a wall when I die ;D

If I get one I will have it in my car (for lunch breaks) and have a box of loose to carts to bob in and out.

I'm definitely gonna get one for xmas...

PSP's are pretty sturdy, mine's been launched all over the place, more from the frustratingly long loading times on certain PSP games than anything else, and it still works fine, screen isn't even scratched ;D.
