Portable Hard drive with Emulator

[Jack_the_Ripper]

Hey I was Wondering if it would be possible to hook a hard drive with a screen and then stick say a SNES emulator onto it and a bunch of SNES roms so you could play say twenty different games It would be small cause it would only require about 20MB (the emulator is about 50kb and im guessing games are about 20kb but i dont know for sure) and if you wanted to take away games or add more you could just stick it on your computer and download more (you could also get emulators for PS1, N64, NES and maybe Atari). So I was would somebody help me or is there something in BenHeck's book

What are you talking about? You'd have to make a VERY complex circuit board to use a hard drive with a classic game system. Or build a portable PC with a Mini-ITX board. Besides, (fun as they are) ROMS are illegal and are not discussed here, sorry.

Heh, I think he's implying that you could run an operating system and emulators on a hard drive without any further hardware. Not possible, sorry

Of course it's possible, all you need is one of these:

Hah, yeah, can't forget that.

But you can get a PocketPC, they have emulators for..Gameboy, NES, SNES, Atari, all or most of the old systems.
