    Just got one. It seems awesome 10 mins in. Everyone at my work says they want to buy one within 2 secs of playing it. The games I ran looked great! From OoT to the TMNT Arcade Game! This thingnis...infatuating...I really like how comfortable it is, it even has an R3 button (used to control in-house functions as well)

    These little retro emulators are fantastic. I've ended up picking up more than I need but it's nice switching between the form factors if you want a wider GBA feel for some, or a more narrow GB feel for others. May not improve your Mega Man game though, I get my ass kicked by the bosses now too.

    To add games you need to add the rom extracted then put it in the correct folder. Make sure the system is Turned Off by going to settings.then put sd micro back in. It will read the rom.

    For me, personally, my trusty old PS Vita Slim is the absolute best retro emulator. It plays all retro system very well, including PSP, PS1, Dreamcast, GBA, N64, and SNES. It cannot do 3DS and NDS, though, since the games won't be properly implemented without the second screen.

      You can add your own ps1 roms by ejecting the games (left slot) microSD card from the device, and then connecting it to your computer, and then copying the ps1 rom files (extracted, not compressed) into the ps1 folder. Each system has its own folder where the roms are copied over.
