Even if that was the case, there'd be no way to support it. There is no plug on the SMS, and it'd be too costly and risky creating a new model with either a port for the FM, or the FM built right in like later revisions of the SMS.

It'd be more realistic for the NES to have gotten a chip you could stick in that unused expansion port for games with expanded audio. Why Nintendo left those pins unconnected, only god knows.

Exactly, and what baffles me is that it seems even more popular on things that are meant to be handled. Controllers, handhelds, smartphones etc. It's so obviously dumb yet they keep fucking doing it.

The PSone doesn't even have a reset button which is really irritating for games that don't have soft resets and its disc tray has a tendency to stick for no good reason. Nevermind that enormous power brick it had as opposed to the standard cord of pretty much every other PlayStation ever.

They had external power supplies, but not ones that end with an enormous plug that takes up three spots on a power strip unless you put it on the end.

Oh, I dunno about Japanese models, but I'm positive US launch models use a standard power cord. I'm fairly certain Japanese launch units look no different than their US and European counterpart, but I don't own one to be sure.

Not to say the PS2 is perfect, either. I can't stand the lack of a reset button on that, either. Granted, practically every game on PS2 has a soft reset of some kind, whether it be in the menu or Start+Select+L1+R1, but in some games like Xenogears which has no soft reset or "Load" option, it annoys the hell out of me when I want to load a file while I'm playing and what should be a five second process turns into a full minute of booting the system back up, watching the BIOS screens, company logos, etc.

I know. I'm saying the "reset" button literally just powers on and off the system and does a full reboot as opposed to just resetting the system.

Although upon hooking up my original PlayStation for the first time in probably a decade or so, apparently the reset button on the PSX served the same function it did on PS2, BIOS screens and all, so my point is pretty much moot.

Ain't I a dummy.
