I didn't own an SNES when I was younger so I skipped that whole era of games and I'm finding they're pretty awesome. I played them at friends' house, but never long enough to get invested in a game. Since I'm sort of stuck in going forwards with gaming, it's kind of nice that I can go backward and discover "new" games. The classics are filling my need for arcade-style games I'm not getting otherwise. I still haven't gotten the GH clone to work, but I haven't really tried. I've been wasting too much time with the emulators. This may sound horrible coming from a long time gamer, but I’m really enjoying the SNES games.

I put *all* the NES games I have (500+) on it, and about a dozen games each for the others...and no problems. The great thing about the retro games is they're typically really small. Maybe a few megs each depending. So you can put a bunch of stuff on there without worry about space --- and then still having space for "real" save game info, etc. I got a Classic controller last night and it is totally necessary for playing the Genesis/SNES games. You just can't use the setup on the Wiimote alone or with the nunchuck. Oh...if you have any specific game requests for a console other than NES, start a list in the forum and I'll put all this stuff on a CD so you guys can borrow and load easily. Far easier than downloading all over again. I need to do some serious ROM organizing, actually...my collection is getting out of hand. Fun.

Also, how much memory does all of the emulators and games take up? Ya, you’re going to have to set-up my Wii with this thing you have it do.
