Apparently the ones being pirated in this ring. My point is people still want retro gaming consoles and games. If the IP holders aren’t selling them, what do they expect people to do?

Pirate them and emulate them, not pay for this crap that doesn’t even meet safety standards.

Emulate, I guess. I can play Mario Bros and Sonic no worries on my PC and Switch.
