Man, selling ROMs on eBay a good way to get Nintendo to send a legal team after you. Neat concept and all but it's just a Raspberry Pi with pre-loaded ROMs for way too much, around $170 after shipping.

A good alternative is to just buy your own setup:
  • Pi 3B+ - $35
  • 5v 2.5a power supply - $10
  • HDMI Cable - $5 if you don't have one laying around already
  • USB SNES Controller - $15/each
  • 128GB MicroSD card - $20
  • ROMs - Free
Total Price - $80+

I'd just use wired PS3 controllers like the Rock Candy ones because the 3B+ will do up to Dreamcast so you can use analog sticks, but that's me.

I've never heard of that console before. What sort of games does it support? Only cartridges or DOS stuff?
