I purchased an earlier version of this from DealExtreme for half the price. Works pretty good as a GBA/GBC emulator. Haven’t used it with the other console files.
I was a big fan of the original Game Boy as well, I was and still am a big fan of the Legend of Zelda series games from Nintendo, after that the Sega Game Gear was my next favorite, Sonic the Hedgehog was another favorite title. Still love the Nintendo for there handheld games, the latest being the 3DS, just wish they had more titles for the system. Most popular for me now is the Playstation Portable, can’t wait for the Playstation Vita to be released…I am still a kid at heart….
I played with my Dingoo A320 for a couple years before my son inherited it. It was great for GBA games, but a little sluggish and buggy on Genesis or other more-powerful titles. The A380 is significantly better-specced though, so it may be something I’ll look at for an Xmas gift to myself.
As for non-emulated hardware, I bought both a Gameboy and Lynx in 1990. I eventually sold the Gameboy, since the Lynx was such a better system. I’ve never been good at predicting market trends. I still have two Lynxes and a bunch of games in a cabinet.
Anyone remember the Turbo Grafx Express? I wanted one of those soooo badly back in the day.
The Turbo Grafx Express and the Sega Nomad were two CHUNKY handhelds, but then putting 1990/1995 era console games into a handheld must have been quite the engineering challenge. Amazing to think you can get all that power and more in something which you could misplace in a coin purse today.
@Gary thanks so much for making me feel old 😉
I’m fairly certain we’re of similar vintage, Julie. I did own a brand-new VIC-20, as my first computer, and my dad bought a home Pong-like machine from Radio Shack when I was a kid. I feel old every time my son asks what a record is. 🙂
@Gary us old gadget freaks have to stick together 😉
My first system was an Atari back in the 80s. Was totally awesome at that time. =P
@Julie I own a Turbo Express from back in the day. Still works great!
I have bought an A380 and two F-11 wireless controllers for it. I love this device.
