So basically an emulator box? Get controller -> USB adapters, download the ROMs and save yourself a few hundred dollars. This thing aint gonna be cheap.

Yea was wondering the same, but for those that dont feel like tinkering this one should just work.

As I understand most of the very older gaming systems were 8bit or 16bit FPGA based, they will never be emulated 100% correctly.

I saw this the other day which was very interesting, The Analogue Super NZ. Its 100% no emulation, which means zero lag. But it seems limited to SNES games.
