There’s no shortage of cloned Nintendo hardware out there, and most of it is pretty poor. A few are actually pretty interesting though, such as the GB Boy by Gangfeng, which takes real cartri…
You might laugh, but these were highly coveted from Aliexpress back when they were being sold! Finding one now is extremely hard, since they ceased production, so in handheld circles these still have big fans!
