One step ahead of ya!

^ Gonna hook up the N64 and TurboGrafx-16 in their place.

Finally watched that IGN vid. Loving this thing. Savestates are essentially going to put an end to the "is my battery going to die?" paranoia, huh? What other games not supported by the R5 even use batteries - Game Gear and (some) N64 games?

So the IGN vid says you can't use original system controllers to play on other systems...what controller do you use for GBA/GB games? Cuz I really don't want to have to use the packed in controller for those.

I skimmed the IGN video and I am impressed. I still plan on modding the controller into a wireless arcade stick though.

I can't wait to read other members' impressions of it. If you are pleased, then I may pick one up too.

I feel like they might be wrong on this. I read the original system specs and watch countless interviews and they said that any controller could be used to any system. Unless they changed that after the last delay then you should be able to do this still. Also, if that is the case they will probably allow the SNES controller for GB/GBA games since is has shoulder buttons like the GBA.

Had they put a Game Gear slot on this thing I would have been so stoked. Would give me a reason to keep all of my Game Gear games. Why cant someone finish a GG RGB Mod?! I know like 3 people that are attempting them right now lol.

I will be doing a thorough review on it over on my Youtube Channel since I have one preordered. I hope people will tune in and make comments!
