That sucks, it should have the on board chip (or RAM?) to fully emulate 32X without the add-on.
It would have been cool if the Neptune was released, meaning no messing around with additional power supply units and weird connections... A "DIY" Neptune unit is the closest though, I want to make one (obviously with help) and then with the NEO Myth there would be the most ultimate 16/32-BIT games console.
