    Why were they in demand? Because the only issue with them was that they ran too fast?

      They were the only cheap and quite accurate way to play your original carts. Since they’ve stopped production the only alternative now is Analogue Pocket I think, and that costnis sky-high

      Back in those times, when the screen mods were just biverts, you’d either do that for a modern lit screen, or pick up a GB Boy. Funny name, but they were actually very clever and the only real (almost) 1-1 copy of Nintendo’s own systems

      That was not the only issue. It has some little sound issues in some games (Tetris IIRC) and the aspect ratio of the screen is wrong.
