Looking to ROM dump just a handful of games, so I’m trying not to spend hundreds on a Sanni or Retrode. I saw this on AliExpress for $15.

I’ve personally had good luck with Alibaba and Aliexpress, but I recognize that this could just straight not work. There’s no documentation, but it claims the game data will show up like files on a USB flash drive.

Anybody know where this design came from?

Sounds fun if it works, benign if it doesn’t, tragic if it cause harm to any of your hardware.

Ali is a gamble. I’ve had successes and failures but it’s mostly leaned toward, "you get what you pay for."
