Nice review. I don't mean to be mean or picky, but I noticed alot of spelling and grammar errors in your review. I would run it through a spell checker and then repost it, to make it look more professional.


It's really funny because I have heard so many Brits say how wonderful their schools are and how superior education is in the U.K. compared to the U.S. After reading years of Paul's posts and now yours, it appears that there are bad spellers in the U.K., just like the rest of the world. So much for superior United Kingdoms education. :roll:


But anyway, nice little review. I'll check back in a week or so as I'm eager to see those battery results. Also, could you install the latest version of PocketSNES Bleeding Edge and try a few ROMs like Final Fantasy 7, Zelda: A Link to the Past, etc, and tell us if it runs them at full speed with sound on? Please specify, how good the sound was, and how well the ROMs ran.

P.S. If you don't have the ROMs for those games, try google or as a last resort email me.

I was thinking about putting a note about bad spelling, I suck at spelling / grammer some may be due to typos but most of its my fault :).

so far the battery is going and going, I posted in another thread about it. I had it on 50% backlight then ran a 30 minute video clip in turbo mode which drains battery faster. I then left it playing mp3's with the screen on for 40 minutes, I just spent another 10 minutes playing pocket quake, battery was at 72%. It is a great little runner :D

right well I dont know much about this kind of stuff, but I got bleeding edge and ran chrono trigger. I kept everything set at default on bleeding edge, but I did turn the show fps on and the music, i slid the quality slider to the second notch along. While playing its 30 fps constant. I will see if I can try some other games, I dont know if 30 fps is good or not. tell me if theres any settings I should change.

**update**

just played the game a bit more it slows down a bit when I go into busy areas with lots of characters, but it still is easily playable.
