Damn you for making me know this awesomeness without having the skill to do it myself...

Did you know theres now a N64 version?

Only problem is the PRICE!!
Its over £100

Personally, I would start on the high side, and just work with hacking rom files, and making custom games.

Super Mario world hacks are still a popular choice.

Also, still only 16mb on the dev kit?! that's horse <curse word here>.
That would hold around 8ish snes roms
A gig of space isn't hard to muster...
I payed 15 for a 4 gb micro flash, but that is sRAM but still...
