Meh. 16:9 screen, so games will look like ass unless you can play pillarboxed.

AV out meh. Original SNES can output rgb , but for some reason most of these things are limited to composite or S-video on the analogue output.

no word about RGB? I owned the first Supaboy, I am glad that I sold it. I really liked the idea and that it of not emulates SNES, but it had too many weaknesses, and it seems they fixed some parts but not the right ones...

 

[tatumanu]

It looks uglier than the first one ... what a pitty

 

[Lightyose]

A 3DS is more worth it in my opinion.

Specially since the New 3ds can run SNES VC games.

- Does it run Android?
- Which processor does it have? How much RAM?

i bet my shoes this is a custom console\reproduction. it's just designed to run snes games (can have a menu and sd card slot to rom loading, however i don't see the sd card part being advertised so i wouldn't count with it)
so, specs don't really matter if this is what i think it is (a FPGA programmed to emulate a snes)

however the panel and screen type (tn or ips, led or lcd) is an interesting question.
as for the resolution it very likely is what snes outputs..

I highly doubt the display's resolution is 256x224 pixels.

maybe it's the double to keep the ratio and sharpness?

Aspect ratio seems to be 16:9. So, no.

it says everywhere 4.3 ?

 

[WiiUBricker]

It's 4.3 inches. Aspect ratio is not 4:3.

It was displayed at E3, the screen aspect ratio looks off
And the cartridge kinda sticks out a bit.

Well, yeah, It's 16:9 instead of 5:4.

And the cartridge kinda sticks out a bit.

"kinda"?

"kinda"?

A bit, yeah.

and very well I might add.

You're joking, there's no way they thought that was a good design.

Well, you can. For only $200 more. With a flashcart.

SD2SNES still lacks SA-1 and SFX though, but it's still pretty great. The thing that really gets me is, who carries around stacks of SNES carts? It's not like GBA where they're tiny so you can shove them in your pocket, an SNES cart is massive to carry around.

That's the ugliest nostalgia meme handheld I've seen so far. And that says a lot.

 

[Deleted User]

There are like dozens of better ways to emulate old games on the go for way less of the price.

No deal. Just get a 3DS

We found our competitor to the switch people, A COMPETITOR!

- Is this an ad?
- What's the LCD's resolution?
- Is the LCD TN or IPS?
- Does it have HDMI out?
- Does it run Android?
- Which processor does it have? How much RAM?
- It's too expensive

Agreed! 99 dollars is too damn expensive for a glorifies SNES unless it's running Android.
