			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first major purchase I made after college was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_Geo_%28console%29">Neo Geo</a> game console. The thing was about $500 when I bought it and I thought it was the best graphics that would ever be. Today my iPhone looks better, but I still remember that Neo Geo. <a href="http://www.analogueinteractive.com/index.php">Analogue Interactive</a> is making the Neo Geo once again, this time swathed in wood.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53974" title="neo_geo_consolized_mvs_wood" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/neo_geo_consolized_mvs_wood.jpg" alt="neo geo consolized mvs wood" width="600" height="598" /></p>
<p><span id="more-53962"></span>The company has a cool console called the Neo Geo Consolized MVS that takes all the parts that make the Neo Geo and puts them into a beautifully made hardwood walnut box. The wooden case has dust flaps over the cartridge section and everything.</p>
<p>On the front are two joystick ports that work with any controllers for the Neo Geo. The back has stereo audio, composite, S-Video and Component and Pure RGB/SCART outputs so you can use it with yout HDTV. You can <a href="http://www.analogueinteractive.com/store.php">pre-order</a> one of these awesome wooden consoles for $649 (USD) for shipment in May.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This odd little handheld gaming system may look a heckuva lot like a Nintendo Game Boy Advance, but it&#8217;s actually one of those multi-system emulators that can play games from a variety of retro consoles.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-20070  aligncenter" title="sp2_game_emulator" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sp2_game_emulator.jpg" alt="sp2 game emulator" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>The mysteriously named SP2 handheld can play games from the original NES, Super Nintendo, Game Boy Color, Neo Geo and yes, the Game Boy Advance. Just load your favorite ROMs (no where ever would you have gotten those from?) onto a MicroSD card, stick &#8216;em into the slot, and you&#8217;re all set to play all your retro classics on the SP2&#8242;s 2.4-inch LCD screen. It also claims to come with <em>&#8220;hundred games built in&#8221;</em>, for what that&#8217;s worth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-20072  aligncenter" title="sp2_game_emulator_screenshots" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sp2_game_emulator_screenshots.jpg" alt="sp2 game emulator screenshots" width="600" height="558" /></p>
<p>As an added bonus, the SP2 can play music in MP3 or WMA formats, as well as videos in RM/RMV and AVI formats. There&#8217;s also a built in voice recorder and microphone (which I&#8217;d love to see hacked to control gameplay at some point). In addition to the silver version pictured above, it&#8217;s available in both black and gold case designs, in case you&#8217;re into that sort of thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-20073  aligncenter" title="sp2_handheld_emulator_colors" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sp2_handheld_emulator_colors.jpg" alt="sp2 handheld emulator colors" width="600" height="335" /></p>
<p>Of course those of you with a keen powers of observation will notice this emulator&#8217;s relative dearth of buttons. While you should be fine playing all those NES and Game Boy games, you might have trouble with SNES and Neo Geo games because those consoles had 4 buttons on the face of their controllers. That said, there are a couple of hidden shoulder buttons, but I&#8217;m not sure that will help.</p>
<p>Still, if you want to give one a whirl, you can grab the SP2 over on <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.2.4%22%20LCD%20NES/SFC/GBC/NEO/GEO/GBA%20TF%20Emulator%20Game">DealExtreme</a> for $65.90(USD) each. Me, I&#8217;ll stick to <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/04/23/multi-platform-handheld-videogame/">playing with my Dingoo</a>.</p>

<p>pocket_lucho is no stranger to making mini arcade cabinets; he&#8217;s been simultaneously up- and downsizing old systems for a while, as you can see, but this Neo Geo model looks really slick throughout the process.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not sure there could possibly be a better way to play some old school <em>King of Fighters</em> or <em>Fatal Fury</em>, though mini arcade systems might take a little getting used to. Of course, if I had these things lying around, I&#8217;d learn to use them <em>posthaste</em>. Y&#8217;know, for style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve seen plenty of portable retro video game systems in my travels, but never one that attempts to cover as many bases as this one.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11889 aligncenter" title="portable_multi_game_console_white" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/portable_multi_game_console_white.jpg" alt="portable multi game console white" width="520" height="367" /></p>
<p>This Chinese import plays 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit titles from 7 different game platforms in one compact system. While it sports a less than thrilling name, the CVFH-N03-4G (aka the <a href="http://www.dingoo888.com">Dingoo A320</a>) can play thousands of games from the NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo Gameboy Advance, SNK Neo-Geo consoles, as well as the CAPCOM CPS1 and CPS2 arcade systems. The system features a 2.8&#8243; QVGA (320&#215;240) display and can also output to your TV.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11885 aligncenter" title="portable_multi_game_console_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/portable_multi_game_console_2.jpg" alt="portable multi game console 2" width="520" height="575" /></p>
<p>Now how you get game ROMs to play on the system is up to you, but once you do, you can load up the portable system with up to 4GB of games and other media files and can even play some Flash-based games. There&#8217;s also a mini-SDHC slot in case 4GB isn&#8217;t enough to whet your appetite for storage. In addition to retro games, the portable can play your audio and video files in a wide variety of formats. There&#8217;s also an FM tuner, voice recorder and e-book reader along for the ride in case you get bored with all of those classic games. Check out the video clip below to see one of these in action:</p>

<p>The CVFH-N03-4G/Dingoo A320 multi-platform gaming handheld is available over at Chinavasion in both <a href="http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/multi-platform-portable-gaming-entertainment-station-black/">black</a> and <a href="http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/multi-platform-portable-gaming-entertainment-station/">white</a> versions for $87.31 (USD) each.</p>
