Yes you can obtain ROMs (either legally or illegally) and just copy them to the SD card. That's the main reason I bought it

That handheld megadrive is cool. Very tempted to get one to play all those old classic games.

I love consoles, at the mo I have set up in the games room two SNES's (one UK the other US), Jap/US Dreamcast, Orange (Jap/US) Gamecube, US N64 with the DD drive for F-Zero track making, Jap Saturn and a Jap Megadrive.


The Megadrive started it all for me, got over 200 Jap carts now.

I was lucky to go to Tokyo for part of my honeymoon in 2005, spent a tone on stuff out there!

At the moment I've got a C64 with 1541ii disk drive (gotta love the 5.25 floppies) an Amiga 600 with 4gb CFHDD and a mighty 6mb of RAM!! An Amiga CD32, SNES, Dreamcast and multiple Region Sega Saturn

Downstairs there's the wii, Xbox360 slim and PS3!!

She still has her original copies of Bantha Tracks

However she is concerned with me taking over the den/computer room!!

 

[jedi_masters]

I was a Snes man in my younger days. Absloutley loved it. Every now and then i I buy one on ebay, then sell it a couple of months later because it takes up space, then buy one again a couple of months later because i get the withdrawal pangs!!!

 

[Wookie-Balls]

I have a Snes style USB pad I use it with my netbook to play SNES, NES, Megadrive, Master System, 32X, C64 Emus

1000s of retro games on one little laptop - perfect for the commute.

 

[geordie]

God I loved SOTE and Rogue Squadron on the N64 - between those and Goldeneye I'm surprised that I ever made it through Uni all those years ago!!!
