I think this is a really positive thing. They seem to be handled really nicely. Sure, maybe not absolutely perfectly so if that's what you're after and are going to check waveforms and frown at them then this isn't for you. But this is a cost-effective way to play these games in a really lovely little well-presented package with emulation that it seems will be as good as any normal person will need or ever spot and that's a great thing. I'm all for these mini systems, whether you call them novelty or not.

I find that they are nice little collectibles in themselves, dinky little consoles that hold a lot of charm. I’ve got a Famicom, Super Famicom and SNES Mini with a PC Engine Mini ready for next year. I wouldn’t class them as definitive retro experiences but for what they are they are great, and they are perfect to scratch that retro itch for the average punter.

I don't think I ever really notice minor errors in emulation, it's just not a big deal to me any more. I just want a quick fix now and again and my RPi pretty much does all I need, I've just been suckered in by the form factor and packaging of this and the PCE Mini though, as it's a rose tinted glimpse back to a great time (possibly the greatest time for me) in gaming. I must admit I'm probably still going to keep using my RPi more than these though.

I will never go the Framemeister route with original hardware, because seriously, **** paying some eBay scalper £300 for a single SNES cartridge. They can go lick bins for all I care. I suppose I could get a flash cartridge for the SNES, but there's compatibility issues with that, whereas the SNES Mini had quality of life improvements. Also, the original hardware for these old systems now goes for a bomb.
I want dirt cheap options, with near perfect accuracy. Meh. Suppose I could just keep emulating the MD on my Xbox. I'm using an original Saturn pad with Xbox adapter.
