   Right, no doubt the PSP is more versatile.  The Nomad came out in a day   
   where versatility in a game console was practically looked down upon, as   
   was the price tag.  I'm just surprised at your observation of the   
   screen's quality.  My experience, and every comment I have seen up until   
   now about the Nomad's screen is that it exemplifies Genesis graphic.   
   Plus, I haven't even gotten in to the differences in controls between   
   the Nomad and PSP.

         I'm mainly pointing to actual advantages that I think the Nomad   
   has over the PSP for playing Genesis games.  Clearly the PSP would win   
   in an overall sense, but I have never seen emulation match the actual   
   hardware 100%.
