I just learned about the whole idea of retro handhelds the other day and I had no idea there were so many options! These look like they would be really fun, but I would have no idea how to load games onto them (because it looks like they don’t use cartridges for the most part?). That’s beyond my tech knowledge, ha ha!
Most of them come already full of games. Don't worry about whether that's legal.
Lol i like that they come with games bc its easier, but i feel like once the big companies catch on, that will be the downfall of the industry
Emulators run ROM images of the cartridges. There are some rather arcane devices that can create these for you, but most people just download them (usually from a website or torrent).
