If you love playing old school games via emulators, yet you have a stack of Sega Genesis and/or Super Nintendo cartridges just sitting around gathering dust, then you might want to look into purchasing a Retrode-a USB device that allows you to play your cartridge games through any emulator, and has ports for all your old controllers.
So, you get that old school "blow on the cartridge before you slot it in" feeling, without fretting over how jacked up your old console has become over the years. Retro gamer completists rejoice!

They need to make one of these devices for the turbo grafx 16. I still have all of my old games sitting in a box in my closet and despite what my wife says they are not getting thrown out or donated to goodwill.... I don't care if my TG-16 has been busted for 10 years and I can play the games as ROMS on my computer. They are a fond part of my childhood and I want to play them DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fortunately my Sega Megadrive is still in excellent working condition. Unfortunately my gaming skills have not improved since the day I bought it.
