@Clyde_Radcliffe So can any PC with a CD drive. That's what this thing is.

Mind you at this point I bet it never releases.

@Curbie They still sell some of them! What would you call sunshine?

@Retro_Player_77 They could avoid these clones and make even more money if they served the market.

@N64-ROX Retropie works fine on pi4 for N64. Clock the pi to 2.1Ghz and cool it correctly. Also make sure you are using the correct emulator and settings. No need to run an N64 game at 4k.

I suspect you would be better served by one of these premade handhelds as you didn't bother to even google your issues or you would have already found the solutions.

Nintendo brought this on itself.
It could easily have sold a portable game system that even used original cartridges and made a fortune on reprints.
It could have easily sold each game in the switch store, for the ones they made themselves.

Nintendo made this choice and now can live with it.

This is how these mini consoles should be.
If they are just going to be emulators no reason to buy them at all.

I don't understand selling these retro consoles that can't take cartridges. So stupid.

How did they get the licenses to all that cover art?

@Fido007 It's software emulation.

Why Nintendo won't release handhelds that take the old carts makes no sense to me. Those old carts already exist, collectors are a thing and rereleasing the carts would be very lucrative.

It would be simple to sell it with a 3 in 1 cart to start and go from there.

If you want to play streaming games you will be buying a $99 or less box to stream games with. No one would spend this kind of money for that.

@YANDMAN Software emulation is good? That's some weak trolling.

@Heavyarms55 Sketch adapters? You think this thing has anything else inbedded in a chunk of plastic? Why would there be suspicious sites to isntall emulators? apt-get install nameofemulator.
That is how they are probably doing it too, reselling existing opensource software.

This company already did a bait and switch, from FPGAs to software emulator. You think they can really be trusted after that?

@Morph And I might grow a third arm. Who knows.

@Heavyarms55 Those are already supported by PC emulators. You can get your own USB to cart connector even, so you are using the real carts. Why pay for this?

Why do you keep covering this scam?

It's just a PC with emulators, right?

Or you could just get a raspberry pi and build your own.

It's never going to be released in the way they claimed.

It's already gone from an FPGA to emulation, expect that to get worse.

This will end up being an ARM SoC or a really cheap x86 part, a USB to game card adapter in a crappy plastic case and the implementation will be terrible. It will just use already existing emulators.

Very old?
Kiddo, one day you too will be old. However no one is very old in their 50s, let's hope by then you learn subtraction.
