Howdy,
I saw this at Kmart over the weekend.

Long link...I know.

It supports two users and looks highly "hackable".

I saw these at Target this weekend.

I saw that wireless Ms. Pac.  It was very cool, but really pricey (at least where I saw it... Target I think.. not sure tho)

It's amazing how quickly those 5 in 1 units are evolving. I wonder how long it will be before one appears that can run all the MAME games.

I notice that the joystick on the Ms Pac unit appears to be 4/8 way switchable!

I think those units are really cool but I do question whether it's a good idea to hack them.

Their charm is mainly their funky appearance plus the fact they are a compact all in one design.

If you hack them into arcade controls, add a PSU etc you're going to end up with something a lot bulkier and more expensive. Personally I'd prefer to go the extra mile and hack an old PC to run MAME on a TV.
