I wasn't sure where to post this, but technically NES and PowerPak are both hardware options so I tried posting here.
WoQ: My question is, is the PowerPak worth the $135+accessories to get all your games and some ROM hacks on one cartridge? Right now I'm thinking yes but is there any place to buy it for less? I quickly checked Amazon and eBay and couldn't seem to find anything, but I'm not sure if I looked thoroughly enough. Also, for those of you who own a PowerPak, should I get any of the optional accessories? If so, which ones? I was thinking a 2GB CF card and a USB connector, but again is there a cheaper alternative? Can I get the CF card for less than $17 somewhere or is this a specific CF card for the PowerPak? Also, is there such thing as a CF card reader, and if so is it cheaper than the USB connector they display on the site? /WoQ. EDIT: I'm aware that Mario Adventure wouldn't work on a PowerPak. By the way, would hacks made with Reuben work on the PowerPak? Some mappers are incompatible. ____________________

I would not count on getting a PowerPak anywhere but RetroZone. The guy that makes PowerPaks runs RetroZone, so I would not look for them on another retail web site. My gut feeling is that not may PowerPaks have been made, so I would not expect there to be enough of them to turn up on auction sites.
If you want to get a PowerPak, I suggest getting one sooner rather that later. I'm surprised that big N hasn't shut RetroZone down already. You can get CF cards and readers just about anywhere that sells electronics. |

All right, thanks. I guess that means that I'm getting a powerpak! I'll let you know how it turns out as soon as I get around to actually buying one >.> ____________________

Lol @ your use of acronyms. I'm pretty sure my NES is US, so I think I'd be fine with one of these. ____________________
