So yeah an FPGA is an emulator (hardware). We already knew this. And no emulator is perfect. But especially on more power demaning software emulators it is absolutely better to create a hardware emulator. Since that actually mimics the hardware architecture and not just the software architecture.

@PopetheRev28 Piracy is destructive. Not preservation. You are not making something that's otherwise unavailable available, nor do you have any rights to do so. And actually your piracy will be the one perfect example why game perservation could never actually exist.

@LuXifer game preservation has nothing to do with copyright though. Copyright fundamentally is broken, but as it stands today someone who has copyright has full access to that copyright. And is allowed to do with that whatever they want. Up until 75 years after they are deceased.

Honestly to me copyright should be more like patents and only be limited to 20 years. After which it should enter public domain. But this also has issues for games that are actively being developed for more than 20 years. For example: World of Warcraft. So then it could be 20 years after it's no longer being sold by the copyright holder.

Preservation is just that the original game should be preserved, for example in a vault. To be accessible after the work goes into the public domain.

I've seen powerbanks in every single form under the sun, this really isn't that special. But a 12 Ah powerbank is still decent, even for that price.

(guys, 1000 mAh = 1 Ah )

@UltimateDailga12 Piracy is always a bad thing. Always.

yay, more little piracy machines*.

*) They usually come loaded with thousands of ROMs which they don't own any license to.

Very cool Nintendo console, the Evercade.

I have an original Evercade, and some of the games are fun on it. But it still feels so much like a child's toy instead of a gaming device. And this one doesn't look any better. It looks cheap and plastic. Comparing this to even a Switch lite... It looks like garbage.

Even comparing it to cheap Chinese piracy machines it looks bad.

@mr_benn .adf support will come with a future firmware update.

@Guitario It doesn't play physical cartridges, and it has no way of importing games from physical cartridges. So my point stands.

The analouge pocket looks overpriced, but at least that uses original cartridges to play the games. And since emulation on it's own isn't illegal, those are actually legal.

I recently purchased a second hand GBA, to play all the GBA/GB/GBC games I still have (since I sold my old GBA), I even started buying some second hand GBA games as well. Also I replaced the batteries in my Pokémon cartridges and am having a blast with those.

Yeah, this is just a piracy machine.

They should work with Nintendo and make adapters like these (wireless) for the Switch.

@antonio2244 With the way Konami is right now, I don't see that happening sadly.

I like this device, but it's too expensive for what you get.

@ukaskew These taxes would be similar for Nintendo. This device is overpriced. It should be $ 50 max, maybe even $ 30. Especially if you compare it to cheap emulator handhelds shipping from China.

$179 + shipping + tax would be around $ 225-250 (depending on the local import tax rate and shipping cost) which would make the price around € 200 for the EU.

A Switch lite here starts at € 208.

I had one for my GameBoy back in the day. Didn't use it much, and I basically stopped cheating right after. Also Nintendo did eventually kill these. Since you can't get them for the Switch or other consoles.

@redpanda0310 You can even jailbreak the Apple TV and play them directly

@RupeeClock According to it's specs it has a Quad Core 1.2GHZ All Winner A33 CPU. The RG351P has a RK3326 quad-core 1.5GHz cpu.

Even smaller than the GB Micro.. yikes.

@Anti-Matter The games are exclusive to the device, making them a part of the device. The device is physical.

Depending on the size of the games and the internal storage of the device you may never need to delete any game off of it. Small screen 2D black/white games shouldn't cost a lot of storage.
