I have one with SVideo-out and use it on a SDTV (because I cant stand the way old videogames look on HDTV, even with scaling and filters). But ITX mobos with S-Video are now harder to find, as well as CRT/SDTVs in general.

You can always build a cheap PC with DVI-to-HDMI (if it doesn't already have HDMI-out) and use the filters to make the games look less-crap.]]>Mar 9th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/Mar 8th 2010 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/

Cheaper, and better. Just load the roms on your CF card and be done with it. No need to plug in another cart, and it probably supports as many games as this one does, as this one probably can't play any of the "special chip" carts anyway.]]>Mar 8th 2010 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/Mar 8th 2010 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/
While it would be nice for this thing to work with special chip games, I'm slightly doubtful, as if there were a way to make those games work via a passthrough port like this, I'd think that the makers of the PowerPAK would include it.

Even then, an extra 30 bucks for a somewhat convoluted solution that plays an extra 20 games (many of them obscure and/or japanese) just doesn't seem worth it.

If I REALLY want to play Far East of Eden Zero that badly, I'll just boot up zSnes.]]>Mar 8th 2010 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/08/neo-snes-sfc-myth-flash-cart-brings-emulation-magic-to-your-ag/

Not that i'm saying the iPad will be very good for gaming anyway.

I know you're all about legality, but the fact is most of us can't afford to re-purchase all the games we already own on cartridge.

A lot of us actually purchased games ON CARTRIDGE back in the day for $50-$70 EACH. That was 15-20 years ago, so add a few bucks to that per game for today's rate.

I will gladly pay for a game when it's worth it, but unless the game gets an HD treatment, I'm not shelling out $5-$10 (or more) for a game I can just toss in my old system or load up on an emulator.

Games that don't have any such treatment available on a virtual console version should cost LESS than if I go on eBay and buy the damn cartridge.

This device is used for backing up your own cartridges. As is the intended use for many other such devices.

Game companies are getting upset that these devices exist because they make zero dollars when someone goes to a yard sale or on eBay and buys a game for 50 cents, brings it home and copies it, then plays it on an emulator.

Meanwhile, Johnny "sold his nintendo back in high school" will go throw his money into his Wii account and re-purchase all his old memories on VC.

I want technology to help me play on the original system, because using the actual old console and old controller is nostalgic and allows you to play the game exactly how it was intended. I would just like a convenient method to play all my games on a big selection screen.

BTW, Nintendo is by far the worst company at preventing piracy. I can still go to my local mall and buy a bootleg 100-in-1 NES in a controller for $20. They sell like mad during the holiday season. And yes, I HAVE reported them to Nintendo before several years ago when I still gave a crap, but they just pop up again like a bootleg DVD stand.]]>Mar 15th 2010 12:09PM
