There is also the Dreamcast that has Atari, Commodore, NES, SMS/GG, SNES, Genesis/Mega Drive and others. All you need are a few CD-roms and a version 1 or 2 Dreamcast.

The sticker on the back, look at the bottem right. Its right next to the NTSC/US. Its in a circle, so it its a 0 or a 1 your good to go, version 2 dont read CD-roms well or at all.

One more question. If I do have an original or ver.1, then where can I get some of the things you were talking about? Is there a good site you can recommend for the emulators?

Site.... No sory the only emulators I have are ISO that I downloaded off of eMule. You can use eMule if you do two things one you only download ISO and to be sure keep your AntiVirus up to date.

A nice idea. a min-itx system would be the most logical way to do it.

Pity theyre 1800 dollars, I'd prefer a laptop with a keyboard i could use and a screen that doesnt hurt my eyes after 30 minutes.
