I don't really see what the NES classic has going for it, personally - the interface is basically the only thing it has over any pi-based solution, and even that's debatable, depending on how much of a retroarch loyalist you are.
- dagw 10y agoI don't really see what the NES classic has going for it Legality and the fact that anybody can have it up and running in less than 3 minutes from opening the box.
- NTripleOne 10y agoEmulation is not inherently illegal, and even if it was I'd imagine that the people who just want to play some NES games probably don't give half a shit.
- dagw 10y agoEmulation is not inherently illegal No, but downloading the game ROMs almost always is.
- drdaeman 10y agoNot really. This heavily depends on jurisdiction. Downloading isn't universally illegal (especially if you have the license for the material you're downloading), sharing is.
- rhino369 10y agoI'm not sure about other countries but in the USA it's indirect copyright infringement. It's an urban myth that owning a copy makes it okay. Morally sure, but not legally.

- system16 10y agoIs it really difficult to see why this wouldn't have value for non-technical users? I'm a developer and I still enjoy it because I don't have time to mess with a pi-based solution, and I love the original NES controller.
