Yeah, I was hoping this tiny emulator would play SNES and N64 carts as well as GameCube discs. I mean seriously how much extra effort would it have been?

Probably a lot more actually. Tons more hardware for all the interfaces, (including a disk reader). And much beefier hardware to emulate a GameCube.

Yeah, I didn't realize that. Thought it would be super simple to make a product designed to do one thing do something completely different.
