I gotta tell ya, modding my PSP was the best thing I've ever done. SNES is by far my favorite system ever. A portable SNES would be cool, but in my opinion, not practical. I wouldn't wanna lug around multiple cartridges. Especially because I don't wanna loose them. With a SNES emulator on a PSP, I can carry around dozens of games on my memory stick. And for the most part, the emulation is great. Some games run slow, but eventually should be OK after updates.

Hmm well that leads me into different selling points. I'd be much more eager to buy it if it had features like the nomad or FC mobile 2, if It can be hooked up to your TV and have extra controllers plug in (I'd prefer like the FC Mobile 2 over the nomad, 2 wireless controllers instead of having to hold the system.) cause then If I go on vacation or something, I have a game to play in the car(via a cigarette lighter outlet charger which Hopefully may be included) and then a home system when I get there. Also I'f I was to ever take it out as a portable, I'd only really take 1 game with me.

The closest we'll ever get to that is the GBA, unfortunatly.
