    -The stuttering that I found in NES (and a few other places) was caused by some Wi-Fi errors. I disabled Wi-Fi and the emulation is smooth af now.
    -For people that are wondering, I've only ever seen this for sale in China and I have no idea how you can buy one outside of China. Prices went up after a lot of people started buying this for the memes. The person I bought this from sells this for $10-$20.

That skips all those barrier of entry punitive money laundering layers that USA calls "capitalism", but does nothing but keep an arbitrary number of buying power in the hands of people so they stay desperate.
      Yur little fnatasy is to go to Nigeria where a bottle of coke costs 10 cents, and laugh in the face of all the poors how everything YOU buy is like a !0 million modernist art piece. Infalted in price in order to keep your neighborhood too expensive for people with real jobs to survive in, because real jobs are paid salary for by Apple and Nestle.
