Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a mixed review. The product and the software work great for older titles. Do not expect to find easy access to games that have been released in oh say the last 6 months. It does do what it says while it works! So the Pro's- lots of games to choose from, software is fairly straightforward if you even need it. As mentioned, don't expect new game titles to be available with it for about 6 months. The Cons- these devices are very poor quality!! After having gone through a couple, I finally decided to open one up to figure out what was wrong. Yes I know that voided the warranty!!! Guess what? Over half of the solder joints on the connector were poor, or even not soldered! I suspect that is what reviewer one got when he tried to use his? Yes, every day handling of inserting and removing a game cartridge will loosen, or break the solder joints so that the device stops working. I verified on my other non working units as well- all had the solder issue on the connector. Recommendation- Go ahead and buy the device, but DEFINITELY keep the receipt and packaging handy! You will need it when you have to return this for the above mentioned poor workmanship standards and to get your refund, or a new device. Oh- BTW, when I notified Datel of my findings on 5 units, their only response was to say, well you shouldn't have opened it, 'cause now we can't help you! Rather than, "Thanks alot for bringing this quality issue to our attention! We'll get right on a corrective action" LOL. So, as mentioned, Buyer Beware.
