I got one a few yrs ago on sale with a steam controller for $50.
it worked better than the RPI and any android device I tried it with.
then I picked up a second for 12$?
It's still in the box but I have a a few BT controllers I can use with it.
did not know I could make it emluate.
how far does it go?
can it beat my ouya for power?
Howard_Casto:
Not sure... mines still in the box, but you can install retro arch I believe.

I ran across this article today:

If you scroll to the bottom they've read a flashback blast. It's got a few bitmaps, a menu program, ines as the emulator and the roms. I have no clue what he had to do hardware-wise to extract this data... did he just use the usb port? Assuming that part isn't too bad it'd be trivial to replace the roms.

looks like he desoldered the eprom, mounted it on a PCB then wired it into a breadboard and used an eprom reader.
