Has anyone heard of this product from the rather well known chinese manufacturer Timeharvest? "Wiiboya", a portable Wii seemingly using a original motherboard.
I am not allowed to post links, it seems, just search for it over at Aliexpress ...
I ordered from them back in December, and also received a broken Sky3ds (old version). Send it back and got a replacement (new version!) with no questions asked. They are ok, if you ask me.
And regarding them being a german shop: a german domain does not mean they're also based in that...
Regarding the "ASIC":
The guys over at eurasia.nu got one unit where you can clearly seen the "ASIX/Asic" label is just silkscreened on top of the chip's original markings, probably trying to obfuscate what it really is. From the thread over at Eurasia:
Added silkscreen: 'ASIX ProFLEX ASIC...
I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet
Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
