@Martin_H I don’t think they’re saying people are being tricked so much as it’s a counterfeit that’s cutting into their potential business. Like nobody thinks the guy selling a $50 Rolex is selling the genuine article but you’re not allowed to do that regardless.

@breach187 No, that’s not true. Anbernic commonly bundles the devices with commercial ROMs. Or at least they used to, maybe they’ve cleaned up.

@Taka_Sakagami Go ahead and get on one of the Facebook groups devoted to these devices and see how many people have no idea or inclination to replace whatever games the device already comes with. The substance of the complaint is true in that regard — these devices coming preloaded with ROMs makes it possible for technically clueless people to play emulated games when that would normally be beyond them.

If you're curious about this game but not curious enough to actually play the Basement Brothers video where he plays it is quite amusing.

That’s very unfortunate and I would not wish it on anyone. But realistically your children probably did not want the collection of NES games; it means a lot more to you than them.

@Bot_Bot_69 I’ve written a lot of programs and I wouldn’t say that I actually understood them all in great detail or felt confident debugging them by the time I was done.

@LowDefAl well, it is better than nothing. Now your Mister device can play a bunch of games it couldn’t previously have. I mean let’s say an unaided human developer came out with an 80% working core of a new system. Would your immediate reaction be that’s completely useless?

@NoirConceit there’s more than one reason you might buy one. A low-power, low-latency solution is just kind of cool. And realistically FPGA is still code and isn’t inherently more accurate, and MAME cores have historically been a reference point.
