Shadow of the Templars is one of my favourite games of all time. I have just about every physical version ever released in the UK on various formats. I've got big-box editions, budget-release editions, handheld editions, signed editions, you name it and I've probably got it.
I'm probably going to end up getting this, just because, but I do think £30 is a bit steep for a couple of PS1 ISO dumps.
There's an elephant in the room that no one mentions: FPGAs, like all hardware, eventually go out of production. Now you'd hope cores written for one would be portable to another, but it isn't that straightforward. Software emulators, however, generally are portable so in terms of preservation may be the better choice.
Interesting, but... It's likely to be Android, which isn't currently getting the latest and greatest emulator releases. I'd also wait to see how well that hinge fares.
@Angelus3K slower than the DVD drive, but often depends on the game as to stutter etc. Way faster than USB though. On a fat PS2 I prefer the HDD option and a NAS running on a RPi on slim. But for convenience these memory card solutions are great. I don't know about this card, but some you have to be aware of SD Card compatibility and also Fat32 limitations for games over 4GB.

At any point does Rignall explain the fixation with dusting monkey asses?

A remarkable bit of engineering wizardry and no mistakes!
