That's the way I look at it, I could get over that it only has an RF output (lots of people have modded them to be a bit more monitor friendly) but the whole loading from tape part - no thank you and if you go down the route of a gizmo that dumps games into memory then when not just buy a emulator in a box?
The one I do understand is the purists whose interest is not really in the games but instead it's getting the original hardware back in working order. I can see the appeal of doing that.
