I think you missed the part where Black Tiger said it supports the use of Wii controllers.
Ah yes, I did. That would make all the difference.
I'm pretty sure of one thing though. My Wii will probably still be alive and kicking after that phone has been recycled. Of course I'm sure every phone he owns (and recycles) after that will also be able to do this, but still...I like not throwing shit away.
Other notes:
People just f*cking hate the Wii. I don't quite understand it myself, but its basically the most hated system ever, and if you are any kind of "mature" or "hard core" gamer you are required to hate it and brag about how long its been since you turned yours on, or how many games you still have in the shrink wrap, or else you are a GAY WAD and your mature adult gamer card gets revoked. As for why Arkhan hates it...that's just what it does. He hates a system that has Mario Galaxy and then sticks up for total shit like China Warrior and Energy. "Backward" would probably be a good word for it. To some, the politics of gaming are more entertaining that actual gaming.
Arkhan's basic stand on this particular issue makes mostly good sense to me though. A Duo with a CDR in it beats all manor of emulation unless you specifically want to grab video, run cheats, etc. As for just playing the games, real hardware is best. Flash Cards basically suck ass though so for the occasional HuCard emulation might be best, or you could just pay for them.
HDMI, in theory, shouldn't destroy the PCE's video...if done well. This is not a valid concern.
