    I've opened up one of these a couple days ago. It's all held in with 4 screws and some plastic clips. 2 on the left, you pull it apart at an angle, then 2 more holding the main board on the right inside. The screen is held in place by nothing but pressure from some foam, no adhesives on the screen. It does have the typical epoxy blob cpu, with an EEPROM memory chip that has a whopping 8MB of storage. Being an EEPROM it's not rewritable via normal means. However i wonder if the video output can be modded somehow, as it has a proper ribbon cable input. The little NES on the cable is just empty. Just some hot glue to hold the cable. As for the roms, as mentioned they are poor original games or full reskins. I've tried playing through all the games and found at least reskinned Excitebike, Xevious, Dig Dug 2, Seicross, Bomberman, Minesweeper, DK Jr., DK 3, 1942, Spy Hunter, and Centipede from what I could recognize. Surely more reskinned games exist as some of them definitely felt higher quality than normal in gameplay, besides the poor graphics. Some of the original roms are old, as a couple like "Police Dog Lasy" and "Rescue Kucks" have been covered by youtubers like a decade ago. I think specifically JonTron/ProJared.

    • "Mad Xmas", "Five Days", "Garden Wars", "Pong Pong" and "Hit Mouse" are common Chinese developed bootleg games you'd find on most of these 400 in 1 systems.

      Going from cheap, entry-level cameras 20 years ago, to 2 megapixel camera toys featured at checkout lines 10 years ago, to kid's miniature, cheap game system now, it seems like a logical step to keep the company and brand afloat.

    All of the games you tried here besides turtles are ones I've seen on other plug and plays before or similar devices.

I bet you there's a few more Nes reskins, maybe a version of Circus Charlie, that one's pretty popular on these things.

    The problem I have with stuff like this is that for systems like the nes most of the great games aside from super Mario bros and before were housed on mapper chips inside the cartridges. These games were technically too large for the system and would send themselves over in chunks called banks. It’s nearly impossible to replicate this perfectly 100% for every title through software.
