At the time, 500mhz portable computers were expensive. Portable computers are still expensive, and not everyone has the tech knowledge to install an emulator, download the ROMs, and setup the emulator, plus to upgrade the emulator and to deal with the fact not all games will work.

I think spending $99 is a better idea!
