      It is one hundred percent real, and it's delightful. On top of that, though, the company that made the bootleg FF7, Shenzhen Nanjing Technology, also made a port of Pokemon Yellow on the Famicom and a very odd version of Minish Cap that turns the game into a turn-based RPG, among many other games and demakes that I'm not going to mention without turning this post into a wall of text!
      They're still alive to this day, and they're still making bootlegs, although from the look of their website it seems like they've shifted primarily to clone consoles.

    Just here to clarify: The footage of the FFVII Demake is actually a ROM hack of the chinese bootleg that translated it in english and changed the sprites and locations to match FFVII more.
    The ACTUAL bootleg game has lots of weird stuff in it, like candles chandeliers in the reactor you are supposed to bomb in the beginning, is entirely in chinese and the sprites are off (Tifa has blue hair etc)
    I recommend people to check the english translation of the bootleg out. It's legitimately good, unlike the unmodified bootleg that was sold in China.

    This history is very similar here in Brazil. In 80's and 90's we've got a lot of famiclones like Phantom System, Turbo Game and Dynavision bocause of the very expensive taxes on games. Today, we still sell very clones like Polystation and Sega still sell Mester System and Mega Drive, by the TecToy Hands.

He worked on the N64's hardware, led ArtX which made the GameCube's hardware, founded iQue of course, founded a company which was involved with the Wii Remote and Wii Remote Plus, and founded a company which handled part of Nintendo's 7th and 8th gen online services. Now hes on the board of Acer I think.

    But even though I was young, I realized that these were unlike the other cheap knockoffs that I had encountered before. These had actual promotional images, and flyers that they handed out. I did keep one of those flyers, and even though I really wish I had bought an iQue machine now, I'm pretty happy that I kept the flyer

In India there are no Nintendo bootlegs so there is no need for Nintendo to worry about loosing the market. And also most of the Indian resellers import Nintendo switch to sell it in India and several Indian gamers/streamers still buy them along with Playstation and Xbox.If they have made some move to enter into Indian market officially they could have competed with Playstation and Xbox in India.

    The iQue usage in speedrunning community is so much more interesting than just different text and loading times.
    The system is essentially official clone system of N64, made inside much smaller shell with less cooling, and after GC's release, so, better chips could be manufactured for it than originally specced at 90's. (Yes, some people have surmised that the cooling N64 has even for it's older parts may be overkill in Nintendo fashion)
    This ends up meaning that iQue has very unique, more modern built system on a chip version of N64's main components that is actually slightly faster than normal N64 or official emulation such as Virtual Console based on that hardware. This can cause unique speed differences between certain heavy scenes, most famously for Ocarina speedrunning, the tower fall scene being rendered so fast and lag free on iQue that the sounds of the scene desync, as it was originally timed with the lagginess of the scene in mind - saving a lot during speedruns that needed to view this scene, which may not be a thing anymore in current any% routes and such on 2021 as there is a skip inside the Ganon's tower, as far as I understand.
