| Neat idea. ROMs are so available and easy though, it's not really useful for anyone but purists and museum-keepers. |

Hrm, this thing is fucking awesome. Definitely buying one, and definitely now in the market for a NES version.
Aka what kind of ROM purist makes a SNES USB plug in device first !?!

More info on this store site for pre-order, including video of the operation:

Looks like its $85. A bit steep, but if someone has a decent collection of played carts (not a collection of boxes in shrink to just look at) and controllers they want to use, then I'm sure it will be worth it.

Reminds me of a device I saw years ago that was a cassette adapter that mounted on one of the front panels of your PC. |

In the past, I've purchased a USB to SNES controller adapter so I could play SNES games on an emulator with the original controller from my SNES. Things like that use the HID driver built into windows so they don't need a installable driver. So the controller part would easily work like that. The question is, how would the other part? The easiest way I can think of off hand would be to have some sorta video output to plug into a monitor.
Alternatively, maybe they will make it like a disk drive so emulator can read the cart directly (although I don't know how many emulators can even do this, so that would kinda make the promise of "any OS any emulator" kinda not the case).
Edit:
After I RTFA, looks like the drive theory is the correct one.
Play! Load ROM into the emulator, configure the controllers, and you’ll be playing in no time. |
