Oh hey! i just remembered, a while ago Dealextreme launched a controller that hooked up to the TV that accepted normal SD cards for ROMs! the roms had to be loaded on to the built-in 64? megabytes but it emulated them fine. This could just be one of those with a screen and a rechargeable battery! I hope so. BTW: The thing was called the E-Time.
I received my Gopher today...Quote:

IT WORKED! :thumbup:
So I can confirm you, this thing (I bought mine from play-asia), play regular .bin megadrive games!
So far I tried MJ's Moonwalker and "Sonic crackers".
Both works fine, but the sound is strange, not bad... but just different.
Anyway, this thing is a real bargain, and I actually don't know at all how atgames could leave such an amazing functionality on an official licenced sega handheld (A global license???).
Fell free to ask others question (if you want me to try a game...).
i havent had any spare cash for a while (just been on holiday) but i do intend to get one of these babies before they get pulled.
for the price its an amazing bargain :)
Some brazilians figured out how to run roms, just get a low memory SD card, (500~ mb) put a folder on it called GAME, put roms in, put SD in, and play!!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
awesome, any links to where this has been posted ?
For now, from my testings...
I'll say: 95% rom compatibility.
Panorama cotton for example is completely glitched...
Also some rom hack freeze or hang (I tried sonic 2 delta, some levels works, others not).
But 95% compatibility is already awesome for a device supposed to only have 20 games at start.
Is there any limit to how many games you can put on the SD card? I mean, does the menu on it expand according to how many games are on it? Just a thought, mind you.
I only tried placing a few games...
But so far, game menu expanded itself up to 4 pages.
Yay! Also, how's the resolution? On the older version (no SD slot), people complained that the screen was dark and had a poor resolution.
hy INDAMAN, i ordered 3 mdgopher and get them last friday. i did exactly what you said, made a folder GAME, put .bin files inside, but it dont worked. :(Quote:
