???? oh you talking about the plays these systems jxd are notorious for that how closer are we to having enough power for dreamcast emulation exophase? ps did you port mame 60 to the xbox?
 
I mean the ad says "PSP PS1 NDS Arcade" so they're now promoting it as a device capable of emulating those systems. They've probably already loaded nds4droid on it even though the performance isn't going to be that great. I just wonder if they're going to attempt hacking a DraStic APK and including it, after it's released.

Not that it's really new for them to advertise emulation that's way too slow. They did it back with their very first Blackfin-based devices many years ago, which ran a VBA port that was too slow to be useful.

And no I never ported MAME to anything.

Hmmn just noticed no bluetooth that could be a stumbling block for me
 
Really, now that the Shield is out, why would you spend money to buy this thing?  The Shield is way more powerful and can emulate stuff way better than this thing.  I know you said it's half the cost of the Shield, but I say to you save the other half and get the Shield.

tegra enhanced unity games arent really tegra enhanced, shadowgun deadzone is a good example, it unlocks the max quality settings. besides tegra optimized seems time limited.

Not really, I used it last night to do all these things and it is very comfortable.  You can open the screen all the way to 180-degree and it very comfortable for all these tasks.  I played temple run on it sideway too and didn't find it uncomfortable at all.  Maybe it's just me.

I think I am going to be the same way as you when I get mine.  I watch the videos of people talking about how it is uncomfortable and I think doesn't look uncomfortable to me.

I have to agree^, but I do see the need for the "cheap" alternatives.

These things are getting better with every new unit, and a few weeks ago, I was actually considering one. Now that the Shield has arrived, I won't even bother looking at this line of android devices.

Some people don't need the latest and greatest emulation, and you get a lot of different good thinks with a device like this. I can't believe their promoting DS and PSP. It will run those games, but nowhere near decent IMO. The price is decent for what you get, and for some, this would be a solid buy. 

For me, I want any new device purchases to be a good value, and the most bang for my bucks. I have no issue paying the extra funds for the Shield(as it's not much more, for what you get), but someone else may not like the form factor of that device, so I can always see how a device like this might fit a specific need. It's all about choices I guess.
