Small, compact, but I bet it doesn't have much space, or at least I wouldn't think so considering how small it is.

you actually got one? What's the whole point in getting one?


Eh... I don't think there is a real "use" for it. I don't know if there has ever been a real motive other than to just make cool contraptions.

emulator. It can be a little SNES, NES, etc. all you need is the Roma and you can hook it up to your tv
