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.

Well, first, there's no such thing as MP5 player.

I'm actually working on my first MP8 player now.

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

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.

Wait.. Wouldn't that screen be usable in portables?
