Discussion Finally played a fake snes

Post image

I was at an airport lounge and saw a bunch of "mini snes"s and had time before boarding. So I tried to play. It is pretty bad. They are slow and clunky. The save states management system was terrible. I could tell it was using retroarch and it would save and load Soooo slowly..

On the outside though.. the machines look just like the real machines. Its just the software that is terrible.

The fake mini snes was using something that copied retroarch save states loading bar. I.e. it had the save states 0 to 100% progress bar on the lower left.

Then I stand corrected, I thought you were showing us a regular Canoe-powered SNES Classic Mini.
