Two things

1 This guy's mouth is huge lol

2 This console just extract the rom and play it on an emulator? If so then what's the point? Given the huge price

People who have large collections of physical games, especially things like tg16, often have money to spend on this kind of thing.

It let's them play their original games and gives a nice enough interface around it

I guess it would be for someone who wants a collection of physical games, but doesn't have room for the consoles? It does seem like an odd thing to want.

I think it made more sense originally when it was going to be fpga. Getting solid emulation for some of the more difficult and rare consoles back in 2018 would have given people at least a taste of how the consoles felt I guess.
