Definitely feels like a "hey, we scored a couple cartons of gamer-y looking units from an HTPC company that went under for almost nothing, let's just load them up with illegal software and see how much we can sell them for" situation. Not the worst plan ever, to be fair, and if a couple other content-creators get curious enough to bite then it might even turn a profit if they invested little enough in the packaging and such.

You can find these at import shops all over the place, but not usually at this price. I think the highest i've seen was around $500 (in S.E. Michigan). A friend bought one that came with the complete library + Neo Geo CD library. Used a regular Neo Geo Case + 2 of the original huge ass controllers for $200 a few years ago. We never cracked it open but presumed it was using a raspberry pi inside and a sdcard for memory.

5:16 "let happiness come faster" one of the best jokes on LTT so far 🤣

Not only do PS2 controllers have analog face buttons, they have inbuilt calibration firmware for the joysticks. They almost never got stick drift because any drift was calibrated for every time the controller powers on.
That's why sometimes you would have to wiggle the sticks around for them to be centered properly.

If this thing was like $100-$200, I'd consider an emulator box preloaded with stuff. It would save time/effort getting retroarch set up and everything downloaded on something. But $1k is nuts.
JSRF is one of my favorite games of all time, and this seems to run it pretty well.
I think this is a decent product, but the price is just too high.

I have my Atari VCS running Batocera. That too was overpriced and underspecced, but I got on at the beginning of the Indiegogo campaign and those were more optimistic times. On the plus side, the money was long spent by the time I got my device so the pain was delayed (and at least I did at least get my device). It's also a cool looking box to play retro games on even if it's worthless in its native console mode.

I remember having one of those 99-games-in-1 handhelds back in the late 90s that was almost entirely just variations of Breakout, Space Invaders and Asteroids. The pirated fake console business has really improved since then.
