    So there are prototype ones leaked? Anywhere I can get one that is guaranteed to be the final revision?

    The one I order from Mike @ Gamegavel hasn't shipped yet so I can't confirm, but he's stated that the batch he received last week don't suffer from any sound problems (and thus are final versions). I bet he could let you know when he gets another batch in, he's on these boards (Kaboomer). Why not send him a PM and ask when he's getting more in?

    I've looked at Stone Age Gamer. They're a bit cheaper there, but not by much. Think i ought to give it a go?

    How many times have you turned on a PSP to emulate SNES games only to find that the damned emulator just can't handle it? Of course you should!

    I just got mine in today from GameGavel, bought it off Ebay.

    It has low volume and a loud hum in the speakers.

    When connected to the Tv it has a green bar down the middle seen on black screens.

    Guess I will need to send it back.

    Wish I had got a good one But I am sure Gamegavel will make it right

    On a side note, my screen stays on when connected to the TV , is that normal ?

    Sorry to hear this. I will discuss with Hyperkin on Monday and be in touch with you regarding a replacement.

    Cyrog,

    not to derail this thread, but those adapters ... are those self contained hardware emulators that run Genesis and Famicom through Super Famicom?

    Why do they come with AV cords, do they have separate AV out on the back of the adapters or something?

    mine had some problems too - particularly with buzzing sound. Definitely not GameGavel's fault. Hope Hyperkin can replace it quickly.

    I ordered one from them on monday. Still a bit worried if it'll make it in time for Christmas. The guy from Stone Age said they're still in customs. That and I'm not sure how long it takes for packages to get to Cali from the SA place in Michigan. But in better news I now know that my copies of of Super Mario Rpg and Kirby Superstar are the first software revision, so they'll work.
