[3DU]

I've been thinking about getting an nes and i dont really want to spend over 50$, so should i get an nes clone?
The one im thinking of getting is this one https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Ret...ds=hyperkin+retron+1+hd&qid=1658940373&sr=8-1

If you like RetroArch emulators with an NES cartridge connector and controller ports, buy it.

i wouldn't suggest this one, about any nes emulator runs right... this one... okeyish... many games will start, but expect timing faillures, glitches and lag... then again it'll be hd ready...
mixed... if you want the feeling of your youth back, this ain't gonna be it. the real original will (but you might not find the richt connectors on todays tv, and on led/LCD or plasma screens the gun will not work), or the analogue mini NT will come real close (for a price you'd say ohh mama!)...
if you want a cheap solution that'll do build a retro pi (you'll just need i raspberry pi with retropie as basic and you're close as done, result wil be more accurate experience but it will still feel like emulation.

imo, it depends on if you're a purist. if you want the real experience, I'd suggest going with a normal nes, but I think those are costly now (definitely more than $50).

btw, if you go legit, you'll probably need a way to upscale the video signal, since it will be 240p. most hd televisions now do not support it, so you need some way to upscale it.
