      Grifters. 🖕🏼

      Sounds more like someone who’s really into retro hardware making their own thing the authentic way.

      But because the specs are period correct, it’s a scam?

          First of all, no one is praising this, so that’s one demerit.

          Second, “sheeple.” Two demerits.

          Third, I’ve had to down vote way too many of your posts lately.

          Three demerits. I’m afraid it’s detention for you

            And you see nothing wrong with packaging (poorly, IMA) a long-standing DIY hobby project as a pre-made retail product w/ shite specs and future modability, I presume? Interesting stance.

              I don’t see anything wrong with this product because the people who know this exists let alone would buy this will likely know what they’re getting and can decide if it’s worth the money to them.

              I can’t tell if the problem is that you think it’s false advertising, or if you think selling a custom 6502 console to someone who wants one is some kind of sin and morally bad.
