Evidently the Gamestation sound hardware isn't hardly 50% SNES compatible, so most games have terrible sound. Converting all of your ROMs to that goofy format is a hassle also. The DX2 works great with a 100MB ZIP drive, or the Disk Dual which can hold a hard drive, CD-ROM, or both.

> In the past, the Gamestation has been plagued with problems. This message board used to be flooded with complaints and stories about it. We haven't seen any recently so people probably wised up and bought a different unit. I wouldn't touch the thing with a 10 foot pole. If you want ease of use and reliability, go with the Super Wild Card DX2. It is so amazingly easy to use, and unlike the Gamestation you won't have to convert your ROMs into a different format.

> The Gamestation is technically 'not' a backup unit. It doesn't even have a cartridge slot to play your own cartridges in. And it's not even a SNES...how do you know it's going to play your games with 100% compatibility?

> I've had my Super Wild Card DX2 for a few months now and haven't had any problems with it. You can read about it and possibly buy it from http://www.gameaxe.com/

Some others look nice too, but as I said, I have no experience in this area, and I want my first system to be as simple as possible. I have found someone selling their unit along w/ a disk drive and all cables for 200 dollars + shipping. Is this a good deal? Any help you could give is much appreciated.
