At least those knockoff consoles come with actual games, even though they are pirated. When I was a kid, the "Gamestation" equivalent was called a "Polystation," and they always advertised themselves as having 200+ games, but what they often ended up having was 200 different versions of Tetris.

A couple of those (specifically the ones that lack HDMI) aren't emulators - they're SoC implementations of actual NES hardware. Even the GameStation 5. The epoxy blob was covering the NOAC (Nintendo-on-a-chip) and the other component was a microcontroller for reading the USB ports and translating them to something that NES hardware can understand (a real NES uses a shift register to capture the controller state at a moment in time and then read it serially)

4:16 I especially like how the manual is in Russian but the diagram is labeled in Spanish.

FYi the schmoo at 3:54 is not used for obfuscation, but as an extreme form of cost cutting, as it is cheaper to glue the bare die to the pcb and wire bond out the IOs, as for commodity ICs packaging is more expensive than the die itself (this technique is heavily used in simple mass scale manufactured goods like calculators)

When I set my Pi library up, I read a lot about N64 being a sticking point for some emulation infrastructures because of the way they were coded rather than a performance issue. It takes separate effort to properly emulate them which a lot of these guys may just decide is not worth it when they can throw thousands of other types of games on there and hit the target number for the page headline.

15:50 "i you're comfortable with the piracy and profiting off of other's IP..." Considering Nintendo and Sony's willingness to price jab for retro games these days... yeah, I don't have much sympathy for them. They're the ones raking in all the money while the original developers only see pennies on the dollar from it, anyway.
