Looks nice, but I am pretty used to rgui... If I needed high-end graphics, I would not run retro cores... :) You can restore LeapPad to factory condition with the LeapConnect package, but you need a ...

Thanks to tremendous work by Forrest Martin it is possible now to turn LeapPad2 (and LeapsterGS) into a retro console. This is not a proof of concept, but quite useable console that could be used for ...
