For those, some sort of 3D edge treatment of the image itself would make the result look more realistic. Many of the "frames" are more like mattes than photographic borders.For instance, as if an old faded photo had subsequently suffered water damage or burn damage that effected both the image and the frame equally. Perhaps this means that there should be two levels of effects: those that effect the photographic characteristics of the image (vignetting, emulsion deterioration, etc.) and additional effects (on the frames page) to then "age" (or whatever) the entire thing: frame + image.This leads to glaring inconsistency between the image (meant to look old, perhaps, or mishandled) and the style of many frames, which look "squeaky" clean and new. For instance: there is no tool to "age" the frames themselves. Exposure sliders should effect the image and the frames differently.A method to name/save combinations of adjustments/effects/frames and add them to a "user" thumb panel would be very useful.Perhaps the user could choose between larger/smaller or more/less thumbs when repositioning the divider.

A moveable splitter between thumbs and image would be welcome.

The effects and frames are very similar (identical?) to the ones available on my Android version of this app, that is to say: very good! It is fast on my old XP machine, is stable, and has a very focused "chrome-less" UI (which begs to be themed like MP). Our review unit is on its way so if you’re unsure about the whole thing, hold off until the official Pocket Gamer verdict is delivered in typically emphatic style.I downloaded XnView Retro for Win32 and used it for a while. If your interest was piqued by the Blaze console and you have a pile of old Mega Drive games that you want to awake from their eternal slumber, then you can pre-order the GenMobile from Stone Age Gamer for a very reasonable $54.99, which works out as around £34 in English coinage (plus postage). We covered a similar device not so long ago, but the Blaze Mega Drive Portable lacked the all-important cartridge slot. Sega tried a similar thing a while back with the ill-fated Nomad, but seeing as it was the size of a small house and guzzled batteries like a thirsty dog after a walk around the salt mines, it wasn’t all that practical. The best bit is that it also accepts any Mega Drive cartridge from anywhere in the world - be it European, American or Japanese. The machine comes pre-loaded with 20 classic titles, including Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Shinobi III and everyone’s favourite forgotten mascot, Alex Kidd.

The GenMobile console is essentially a portable Mega Drive (Named from its US counterpart, the Genesis) which features a 2.5-inch TFT screen, rechargeable battery and the ability to connect to your TV set for a more authentic, living room experience. Thankfully, for those moments - as rare as they might be - a solution is in sight. Shiny handheld devices like the PSPgo and iPhone are all well and good, but sometimes you just want to bust out a 16-bit classic and relive the good old days, when Right Said Fred were topping the charts and a woman in high-waisted jeans and a bomber jacket the height of sophistication.
