What you you guys/gals think of the NES Classic?
What you you guys/gals think of the NES Classic? I think it's a nice device but overly exaggerated. I personally play all my NES games on my PC via emulation and it just works :) I also do the same for other
Anything that does not have SD/USB changeable ROMs, but only relies on built in ROM is a complete NOGO for me.

That my thoughts exactly :) when I first heard of it, I thought one would be able to use cartridges on it .
I think from the teardowns they've done it's actually a Linux machine running Nintendo's own emulator software, which is likely superior to
the FOSS stuff since Nintendo has all the specs and other information
to make an accurate emulator.
I still kind of want one for my family since it comes with most of our favorite games and is way more approachable to them than a retropi.
But I've not ruled out putting together a retropi for them either.

I was reading some news the other day and someone has put together a package to basically turn your Pi into the NES Classic .. I'll see if I can go back in my history and find the article.. it sounds like
something I wanna try on the spare

The open source emulators are extremely versatile.
I do not believe that there is a difference between them and the Nintendo one. The amount of testing and development is far bigger for the OSS emulators.

Other emulators with changeable ROMs also have all your favorites ;)

I found a raspberry pi 3 with retropie loaded and a custom 3d printed nes case all for under $50 dollars works wonders for me ;) I even have a usb snes controller.

I did it, you just need to install RetroPi on your Pi and then drop the roms in the game directory on the SD card. I use a SNES USB controller with mine, works way better than the nes classic since I can play NES,SNES,GENESIS,ETC.
