I didn't know about the existence of this model until just now. So has anyone here ever had one of these?

Is this just a VMU without a controller? I guess it could come in handy, but why would it need to be so large? Or wired at all? Could have just been a dongle like dreamconn or Wavebird.

I'm going to risk buying the product and I'll do tests.

If only they made these type of vmu's that would allow an sd card for storage.

It appears to be an adapter for multiple legacy controller types that has a VMU device wired between the system and controller. My question is: does it have a battery? And what use is the screen if it's not in hand while in use?
