it was a failed attempt at bring a retro inspired hand held to the masses, although the theory was great, but failed due to the amount of other hand helds doing the rounds, like the dingo, GPx2 and JXD handheld which were more expensive, the idea was to create an app store were you could purchase vintage games legally down onto the Game Gadget doing it the right way, but due to bullshit and lies and deals with gaming companies, it bombed with no faith on delivery to the customer, plus the fact that they were banned people for talking about their concerns over the lack of news, or what was happening after they purchased the thing. So it died a death with begudgely and despite.

so that's it in a nutshell, but as far as I know these are unlocked to allowed emulators to play all the old games, but Zap would probably be the man to talk to, as he owns one., but for £25 I don't your gonna get a hand held doing this type of thing.

Grand - my youngest loves retro stuff - this has crimbo pressie all over it :)

Indeed I have one and we have a 10% discount code you can use also.

It's a decent system for sub £25, it's not the best quality build you will ever touch but for that money and what it can do. Bargain for me.

this actually worth bothering with?  i was tempted by one at play expo for £25 but after looking on you tube it doesn't look to be able to do snes properly, anyone confirm if it does snes correctly?

Greyfox

Zap is the man to ask about that mate. But if its unit the snes9x engine it should play most snes games, without much hassle, but I reckon DSP and SpecialFX games wont play properly, but these emu's are most of the time being updated, or what you could also try is contacting the devs to see if they are still working on improvements.

Seems ok with most snes stuff but struggles with mode 7

my psp struggles with snes emulation, i use my xperia play phone for snes emulation on the move but its not very comfy.
