Interesting, the name rings a bell for some reason. I don't know anyone with one though, and I'm guessing it may be hard to find games - although it does look fun from a technical/modding view!

Here are a couple of reviews that a quite favourable:

Yeah they're not too bad. Graphics aren't amazing IMO but you get what you pay for!

Can emulator all these aswell:

Arcade systems (via MAME), Amstrad, Apple Macintosh 68K, Atari 2600, Atari 800, Atari Jaguar, Atari ST, Atari Lynx, Colecovision, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Game Gear, Mattel Intellivision, MESS, Neo-Geo, Neo-Geo CD, Neo-Geo Pocket Color, NES, Odyssey 2, PC Engine, Sony PlayStation (though not really playable), Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES, TI-99/4A, MS-DOS, x86 and ZX Spectrum.


Not bad hey and the battery life is very good.

At 125 pounds ok bit too much , but taking the psp was 180 pounds and could not play divx,xvid or roms without a mod.

Then again can the psp or the DS play xvid at all?

The only down fall for this you can,t buy games for it?

I've seen it mentioned before, on a couple of Linux forums I post at.


Wouldn't say no to trying one out.
