do you have to burn those little proprietary disc or is there a way to load the games off a memory card?
Yup, it does exactly that. I'll have a few available soon too if you're interested.
:O heres an idea go buy a console from gamestop, 30 bucks, then go online buy the chip 5 bucks. Your saying like 20 bucks from buying directly from nights lol. installing is not hard people HAVE PATIENCE.
The chip is $10, you have to buy a soldering iron ($10), solder (<$5), multimeter ($15) and gamebit screwdriver (>$5) and then you have to learn how to solder.
