    Hmm, looks interesting… is it emulation though, or “real” hardware? It would be nice to have a portable Megadrive like this that could also take real cartridges…

    These have been available for around £20 from Play-Asia for the last 6 months at least, and are also now in Argos for around £30 I believe.

    Nice little systems for the money but a couple of the games (Ristar and Sonic) tend to freeze/reset quite often. I believe that it is emulator based and has the ROMs burned-in, so there’s no way to add new games or connect real Megadrive hardware…
