I see ads for them on TikTok and they exude scam vibes. I’m aware that putting a fully loaded emulator on a usb connectable device is possible, but there’s no way all of them are legit. Have any of you bought one? Does it work well? If so, which one?

I got my gf a Gameboy type thing that has like 30,000 games on it with emulators from old arcade games, NES and every console by all the brands up to n64/play station 1 and she loves it. It has 2 sticks, a dpad, 4 face buttons and 4 paddle buttons. Cost like $40 on Amazon
