BobA is right. They are just multi-carts (& if I remember right they are under $5-6 bucks a piece). Mostly of the 8-bit variety of games. They do have an adapter for 16-bit games and I have one on order. What I really like about it is the cost or the unit, the nice bright LCD screen, and the fact that it uses 2 AA bats. It's no DS or PSP of course but for the price it can't be beat. And it seems to have some pretty good ports of old classic arcade games. I've been playing the heck out of Pooyan and Mappy lately. ;D

I was right; arrived in the mail today.
I can totally see getting a bunch of stuff on that site.

Mine took a bit longer but arrived today. Customs form was marked LED flashlight so I was not sure what it was but is was 5 adapters. Great price and free shipping.

So. Any of you tried these out yet? I can't seem to find that post on how these CF cards work. Can anybody describe how one goes about using a CF card instead of a HD? Can I just format it and install DOS or Win98 just like a normal HD? I was thinking of using Spytyles BootCd with DOS and Game Launcher if that would work.
From a little bit of research I've done, some cards aren't fast enough for a Windows O/S (paging?) and some cards don't like IDE interfaces. How's one tell the difference?
