I'm looking for a portable Emulator solution, some way to play Genesis/Megadrive ROMs on the go.
1) Laptop. You should be able to run a good emulator on a decent laptop and play your ROMs there. Kinda bulky though. What about an old Toshiba Liberetto? Do they have enough power to run a decent Emulator?
2) Palmtop. Palm devices don't seem to have the resolution to run an emulator. Some WinCE devices doo though. I have heard of an emulator that runs on some WinCE handhelds but VERY SLOWLY. How much longer before we get a decent Genesis Emulator for a handheld device?
3) Custom Solution. Is it possible to build an adapter for a Nomad that will play ROMs off of a Compact Flash card? Aren't there some devices that are, in essence, blank Genesis cartridges that you can load ROMs onto?
I think it would be great to take hundreds of Genesis games with you wherever you go. Imagine, play them on the bus, train, airplaine, wating in line. Wherever you like without having to lug around bulky cartridges.
What do you think?
