Seems like it could be good for modding to play retro arcade games. I'm not sure what sort of emulators it comes with - but if you're willing to gamble about $70 bucks let us know what you find out.

But still no clue as to what games it'll play - I'm betting NES for sure, but no idea if it can do SMD, SNES or others.

Unless there's a 9mm submachine gun in there. Then I'm wrong. :wink:

MP = Multimedia Player; 5 is for the functions.

MP3 is standard, MP4 had video, MP5 has camera. That's the usual thing.

Usually, I thought, they're named because of what they play. MP3 player plays MP3's, MP4 players play MP4's, so MP5 players would play MP5 files.

Naming it the other way works, but I think it's meant to confuse people to think that it's the latest technodoodad.
