Also, I'm particularly interested in whether anyone has the specs for it. I want to know if it has the power to run SNES games with some modifications.

I have all sorts of ideas floating around in my head right now, some of them probably due to the sleeping pill I've just taken, but they all seem pretty neat. Specifically, somehow converting it so it could play SNES/GB/GBC/GBA/NES and possibly other games off of flash cartridges. I'm thinking of using this instead of that GP32 or whatever because it's cheaper plus it has controller ports (could they be converted to another controller type?) and AV ports built in, and instead of a GBA for similar reasons, along with finding backlighting solutions (Afterburner seems to have vanished from the face of the internet).

Thanks in advance.

It's the nicest Famiclone handheld on the market, and you can get it for much cheaper here.

Converting it to play the consoles you mentioned would obviously take extra hardware (except for NES of course

). Pick one and stick to it. Be aware that the screen may use some funky custom interface which would take some reverse engineering to figure out. I would have thought it would most likely uses composite connections, so you'd have to figure out which pins were which, but I've got no experience at all here so I'm guessing...

I can't say I've ever seen that system before. Can it play U.S. SNES Carts? Or are they the Japanese format?

It plays N.E.S. games and yes it is formated to play japanese games but, it can play N.E.S. games with a pin converter.
