    -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.

      It's niche, but being recycled or outdated parts it's pretty cool to repurpose rather than being in a warehouse or trashed.

      The low-price calculators use such simple processors that they need a buncha custom patching in them to give the correct numbers for many mathematical operations, there's lots of processor errata.Therefore having a standard consumer-level complex processor in them isn't as silly as it first seems, as you can run Java or something, which basically always gives out the same results for the same operations

    I tried one at a Popular, and noticed that it had bits of familiar UI and UI transitions. I could tell that it was running a heavily locked down and stripped down version of Android 4.4 with its stock UX, but it was so locked down that I couldn't break out of the dictionary software on the retail demo unit I tried.
