Wow, 20,000 games. . . I'm sure it's real legal lol.

Still, if it works like it says that's a pretty good deal.

TrekMD · February 05, 2019, 23:43:29 PM

Le..what? Yeah, I'm quite sure. LOL

Not sure how it could be legal with all those games.

Sounds to me like someone has put a Raspberry Pi into a wee plastic case and installed one of many the PI images available on the Internets to give you "all the things".
Saw one very recently that had almost every console you can think of all wrapped in a frontend. (SNES, NES, PCE, 2600, Genesis etc etc).
PI will cost you around Â£35.
Micro SD around Â£25
Case for PI around Â£10-20
PSU For PI around Â£10

So less than Â£100 to build one yourself. Course its got a snazzy looking case. You can get those too though.

I'm doing exactly the same at the moment with a PSX Classic. Probably gonna end up with a lot more than 20.000 games though ;-)

Wow Â£150 for A Pi and some Roms.

Ive had this case since November. Nice break out board for the Power and Reset buttons too but wow.

HomerRamone2084 · February 08, 2019, 11:42:14 AM

I guess for anyone not confident to build one themselves its not madly overpriced - but putting it together is half the fun

Hard to trust these copycat systems. But makes me curious.

Half of the issue is finding 20,000 games and the time it takes to collate a collection like that.

Unless someone knows something I don't lol.

That's pretty cool! And the 5 controller pack isn't badly priced. Unless they're junk, but it says they triple check it. The console at least. Hmm..
Anyway, to be preconfigured for optimal performance is definitely a boost.
I won't be getting it bc I'm setting up my Pi atm but nice for the noobs or folks that don't want to go through the trouble.

Well, you just use your ROM set collections you used already for previous projects, at least I have all that stuff. I would say that's the least of the problems, once you put together f.ex. a Hyperspin setup, you're done. I have a 5TB Hyperspin setup, which I use for everything I need to gather games for, like my PSX Classic project at the moment.
