 |

Well this is just silly. At a first glance, this looks just like a genesis on a chip and is mearely taking the power from the SNES deck but not even using the SNES for anything at all besides power. But I see the description states that you control the games with the SNES pad so I guess it interfaces there somehow too. Would have been better if they were using the SNES av out instead of adding more cables to the setup.

| There is also one to play NES on SNES called Retroport. The RetroDuo portable system supposedly comes with this adapter. |

| It's a waste of money, basically is a GOAC and it uses the SNES controllers. Lots of compatibility issues with it. Genesis consoles are so cheap these days I don't see the point in owning some knockoff crap with compatibility and audio issues. |

I think the purpose is to keep it compact rather than lugging out a full blown console. Other than that, my Genesis model 2 (which actually turned out to be a very nice system even without the Sony video chip), cost me only $25 shipped on ebay and it works great.
I'm not really fond of these "on a chip" systems. I was disappointed that they started making these rather than an actual clone of the real chips on the systems. It cheapens it quite a great deal and the compatability and other issues it may have just makes it seem like they aren't worth buying. This is without me even trying one.
Also there's a bunch of handheld variants which is the same thing in a different form factor. I think I'm better off with a PSP and an emulator.
