Yes. I would by it because the woman I want to marry to (I'm not Freud you perverts) is addicted to gambling and I want to find her a good replacement.

Sega and such should be supported for their great work of giving people hours of entertainment instead of turning into child molesters, drunken gamblers and mass murderers... More credit is for the Wii who let you move your muscles to turn yourself more agile and in fit... This is on the price of African slaves who dig on mines for the Coltan that cables of these systems and some parts of it are made off. Isn't God is a fuck-turd for bitching us that way? Sorry, I can't stand that we have slaves doing the job for us. It's a subject to revolt... by the way, Please ask Club-Soft to enable a "Duckroll" option on this site, which user can turn on and off if they want... E.G. God is a "**** ****" or Scap-Scapped like they have in Deviant art and "Puzzle pie-rats", and please don't tell me you are so weak to make me curse: "Scap auto correct!!!" if you are done. I count on you or you be dead.

I don't see the point of making a handheld device that requires an USB add-on to run original cartridges. It would be terribly inconvenient.

Also why do you want a x86 architecture anyway? The original PC used it because you could write smaller code on it (which at the time was an issue because memory was limited), and since then PCs have been hanging onto it for backwards compatibility. There's a reason why the ARM architecture is popular with handheld devices...

Why not x86? And I don't see how usb attachments would be a problem. But if they really do make a handheld too bulky, I can think of a way to make the games downloadable, probably by letting people connect the system to their computer for file transfer.

 
If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program.
The rest of them will write Perl programs.

And? There are countless handhelds that play old games, but this was originally meant to play exclusive games, until the suggestion of also adding compatibility for older games came up.

Phred is correct x86 would be an awful choice for a handheld. I was thinking of small plug it into your TV size type thing, the pico itx typically is supplied from a 60 watt power supply - just think of the batteries you would have to carry around.

Even as an experienced hardware engineer I can tell you that this project would not be a easy even for me.

Well, I'm not all that experienced with computer hardware, so I guess trying to do this alone would be nearly impossible... I'll still keep my drawings just in case, though.

The cost of each unit would be absurd as well.

i would definitely buy something like that. only if it also had cartridge or SD card slots for games. I'm not a fan of digital only media, steam and comedy albums on itunes are pretty much my only exception.

8bit-16bit console with internet connectivity and a nice form factor would be awesome. My friends love the shit out of nes games and agree some of them would be awesome with online play. Classic Mario Bros online? hell ya!
