How can I get one in Italy ?

Any suggestion ?

 

Ask someone to send you one, wait a few days and then file a bogus claim that you didn't receive it. :ponder: :lol:

The video quality is very good and even the color looks enhanced

 

I need to do more tests but it looks like the emulation supports more than 4 sprites in line, so no flickering in Princess Quest :)

 

The controllers are pretty reasonable, joystick is easy to handle, keypad is surprisingly smooth, and as some people discovered before, the left and right buttons are reversed for games.

 

My programmer ear says the sound isn't perfect (most notable in Princess Quest), but overall a nice product.

It looks like you have better video quality than I've experienced on the two displays I tried (one CRT, one LED). The text is rather harsh on my displays.

Have you tried to access the secret debug screen, where you can switch the buttons around? I saw something about this in another thread...

Yep, pushing left+right button on controller 1 allows you to access the debug screen, but only a kind of controller test, I don't see any options.
