That's another consideration. It's even SMALLER!
I honestly know NOTHING about graphics, but it seems like this would be plenty powerful to run a tiny dedicated emulation handheld for N64 and older.

On a screen that small, does it matter? Or does it effect frame rate too? I really don't know.

It would run N64 fine, at least at that low of a res. But for games, it would not be good at all. :wink:

Would it be better than a PSP for emulation?

Yeah, it's even overkill for N64. But newer games, it might have some trouble with.

Actually the GMA 500 is supposed to be pretty decent, unlike the GMA 900 or 950.

Doesn't really matter though, getting one of those boards as an individual is very difficult and expensive($400 if you're lucky).

I was thinking the 950. I don't have any experience with the 500.

But isn't it about USD $2 to one Euro?

An ION would make a great NES PC. If it's small enough it'll save room for other stuff too.

All currency conversion I've seen so far in this thread is incorrect. $1USD = .79 EUR or .69 British Pound at today's (wholesale) rate. The Pound is very weak right now, and the Euro is still stronger than the US Dollar.

403 Euro is a little over $510USD...

I was right that it's worth more than the dollar.
