Hmmmm. Don't be this guy. And don't buy things from that guy. Get a Retrocade if you are lazy, or a Raspberry PI 3B+ and put RetroPie on it if you are not.

I think the funny part is that it's just five games. I mean, you see these videos on where they give you winking instructions on how to add hundreds of games to using flash drives that increase it to the thousands.

Five games... and one of the added video games was Super Mario Bros... Not Super Mario All Stars but Super Mario Bros. What will they think of next?

Beyond not including Super Mario All Stars, of course. "Everything" is obviously unreasonable but shouldn't that which is reasonable be reasonable?

It's just a little after-market support! Not unlike adding furry dice to a car from the showroom. Show leniency to the chap, please.

The real crime is that someone would buy that for $550 instead of easily figuring it out themselves.

I don't know what leaves me more perplexed: that he only added 5 measly games or that three people were willing to pay 8 times the retail price for so little (and something so trivial to do)

Most of these bootleg game consoles come from China.

It's like people want to be thrown in jail these days.
