#2... That wasn't as tiny as I expected it to be. It's more like a mini.

#3Very cool. I live in Japan and see NES carts in all the second hand stores that are everywhere here. Very tempting but in the end I know I wouldn't play it. Whenever I go down a "weee let's try retro" path I lose interest after five minutes

#4This article is from Feb 2023.
Pretty neat, but not something new.

Similar issue for me -- I kept my childhood collection and slowly added to it, but hardly ever actually played anything -- until I got a Retron 2 HD that can handle both NES and SNES games, outputting to HDMI.
And then I got the wireless 8bitdo controllers that can work with the original NES/SNES ports, because fuck cables (briefly tried using OG controllers and it was awful).
Now I actually play the games a decent amount, and my wife plays Tetris or Dr Mario all the time.

#6I don't fully understand the video, so what it is lacks compare with the original hardware?

#7> Later revisions of the PPU did offer RGB output options but most NES and Famicom systems had the single pin output.
Anyone have any insight on this? The article does not elaborate.
I have a “New-style” NES. Do I have the “upgraded” PPU?

#8In case anyone follows the review back to https://www.crowdsupply.com/tall-dog-electronics/tinynes - I've been waiting since the beginning of the year for an update on an order (despite an order ID and emailing multiple times).
I don't think they still exist? Sounds like it used to be cool tech though.

#9>Much that same as some people don’t like emulators because it isn’t as close to how real hardware plays.
Modern hardware is powerful enough to emulate it perfectly. It doesn't just get close, so I do not think this is a complaint based off of reality.

I kind of modded my GBA a while back, and bought some upgrades like a better display and an sdcard using cartridge.
Now it's my travel device when I'm on holiday or having no energy left to focus on code. It's pretty convenient only because of the sdcard cartridge adapter.
Did not regret spending 50 bucks for the mods. Would heavily recommend.
