The material is a bit delicate but works perfectly.
Amazing console
Very good price
Super compact
Run every region pal + ntsc + sd everdrive
This unit is 50hz pal requested by me
Sound is 98% to original nes unit
Video quality is very good, but not perfect, super small artifacts (not relevant when you play the game, almost not visible)
Joypads are very comfortable and super responive
Unfortunely one of my directional pad broke on day 2 after the purchase, however the other working fine.
Highly recommended!! !
Super fast shipping and delivering (less than month to bulgaria, eu)
Very fast shipping, and good packaging. All my orders came in one package even though this one wasn't shipped by aliexpress, but by retroad.
It doesn't *feel* like the most high-quality material, but it works. Plus it's cheap. It runs original nes ntsc games (at least the one i got), the ports for cables and controllers work, the light works, which is exactly what it's supposed to.
The fit for the cartridges and controllers is a little bit awkward. Especially the cartridges aren't easy to pull out again, but with a little bit of dexterity it's doable.
Sometimes games boot up to a blue screen, but after hitting the reset button games run normally. For how cheap this is i would absolutely recommend it if you want to play nes cartridges.
Please note that the separate console does not come with an adapter. Works well with original controllers and original games. Also works with the Chinese NESN8 Plus+.
