Review: What a brilliant idea - An absolutely fantastic console. Play all your old console games in the one place. Save space and no need to look for different controllers.
Review: Crazy. Hard to use, No manufacturer support files & wouldnt work with adapter. - I am a PC user of over 40 years. I have had all games consoles. This is the worst. Hard to use, poor documentation and the craziest firmware update system ever... that is if you can even get one as the update node is usually not running or available. Its laughable. Returned this and the adapter for master catridges the same day. Its taken a measurable amout of time from my life I will NEVER get back!
