This little beast is worth every penny! Games play EXACTLY like the original and there seems to be zero input lag between it and every HDTV I have hooked it up to. Also hooked it up to a 34" 4K gaming monitor and video and audio worked great. Video scaling is perfect via the included HDMI cable and as far as power goes, it comes with a micro USB cable but no adapter. If you have owned a cell phone in the last 10 years you should have one that works laying around. I have found it works fine with an old 5w, 0.15amp charger! I was about to throw out all of my adapters that put out less than 1.0 amp but now I'll just hold onto them! It comes with 21 pretty good games, but they only take up about 15-20% of the storage capacity. Enter HACKCHI. This free emulator allows you to install any SNES game ever released, as well as a TON of betas and hacked versions of classic (and not so classic...) games. Instructions are easy to find with a simple "add games to SNES mini" googie search. Using Hackchi you can also add emulators for many other systems. I am playing the Gensis original Sonic on mine now. It will play almost anything from the 16-bit era, and more than a few from the 32-bit era -even a few N64 and Saturn games depending on the title. I could not be happier to introduce my 5-year-old to Super Mario Brothers and the original R-Rtype! It turns out throwing the controller is not a behavior that has to be learned! :) If you are interested but have doubts, just buy it and be amazed.
