Check it out here.
Does anyone own one of these, and if so how do you like it? I've read nothing but great reviews about and wanted to get everyone's thoughts on it before deciding to get one when they're available again. So far I don't see a reason not to. |

| I have one. It's pretty neat, although it's missing a lot of mappers, several of the existing mappers are glitchy, and the boot ROM has a few serious bugs. Fortunately, none of these are hardware problems, and can be fixed by updating files on the CF card. |

| I bought one and was supposed to make some sort of auto loading script to make transferring roms and save files easier. Unfortunately i don't think i have an NES so i never tried it out... |

I think updating the boot ROM requires a CopyNES, but bunnyboy said he'd offer boot ROM updates free of charge if you return the PowerPak to him. |
