At the heart of the device is some clever multitasking firmware, which operates a number of emulators that can automatically recognise various extension types, and this has been especially designed to make emulation and emulator switching simple, easy and seamless. "We've used open source code," explains Mark, "but we developed it specifically to work with this device, so everything is pretty much built from the ground up, and while we haven't got the emulation at this stage, it will go up to 32-bit." Of course, open-source handheld consoles capable of playing multiple emulators aren't anything new, but Blaze's strategy is to work with game developers and publishers to offer them a way to monetise their classic games and IP, while at the same time providing consumers with a safe and simple way to emulate classic games through the console and the customised firmware. It also hopes to achieve this by launching the GameGadget with its own iTunes/App Store-style software service: gamegadgetgames.com.

Yeah but for £79.99 RVG members can get a great bargain.

Slightly shocked at the £4.99 price for games.. Where are the £1.99 games gone they mentioned. This makes it a hard decisionto purchase for me now, and i ultimately i think they made the wrong decision here.

Same. No way am I going to pay £5 for a download of a Megadrive game. I can buy the real cart for less than that.

Prices are going to be changed to start from £2.99, the fact this is open source is really tempting..
