Eh they're a fun alternative, I'm not against them, more for than against. I don't mind how good they've become, and I'm kind of pleased they have gone that far because the quality would have gone up as well so they'd last from a durability perspective. I'm used to old famiclone, gameboy copy and other carts from the 80s and 90s and they still hold up. I would never trust a bootleg made in the last decade before this as the quality bottomed out. I guess I'm more old school, my time was the roms, release, hacks era of the later 90s.
