    Quoted from tomh52722:

    Here is what I don't understand though. If the color dmds are interchangeable and you just download the new ROM (for free, I'm assuming), then why wouldn't other manufacturers get into this business? It sounds like the work is in writing the code for each title, but that code is then just downloaded from the website.
    Maybe I am missing something here, but this is interesting for sure.

    Not interesting at all, just illegal. I'm sure you will find lots of companies willing to build lcd panels and interface hardware that all sales are based on illegal downloads. Where's Napster now?
