Whoa, Mark, this is a YouTube bonanza! Despite its faults, this thing looks quite handy.
I don't know if I agree. I have too many of these devices to count and if they fail even say 5% of the time to run games the same way as the original hardware, they have to be considered failures. Sadly, that's the vast majority of these devices. It seems the only "proper" way to do it if there's not a proper FPGA implementation is to do it through software emulation running on powerful hardware.

It seems that most of these multi console devices the quality is varying between the emulated systems.
The quality in emulation varies enormously in between various clone systems but also within the same multi-console system. On the FC3 the NES part is emulated rather well, including the sounds and all sorts of strange digital effects. The Megadrive/Genesis Emulation on this FC3 device is comparable to that found on the official Blaze Genesis machine with built-in games. The Megadrive/Genesis part has a worse video and sound quality and the Snes part is great but the sound does seem a bit high pitched with less 'full' base sounds. StarFox and other FX chip games fail on this model!
