I used to have this famiclone before I lost it. It wasn't good by any means but it killed a few mins every here and there

What are your thoughts on them?

Most are system-on-a-chip implementations with only okay compatibility. Color palettes will be slightly off or sounds will be a slightly wrong pitch, won't support all carts, etc.

Your best bet for playing your games on a modern screen is to get an FPGA based system, a top loader NES modded with HDMI output or simply use a cycle-accurate software emulator on a computer.

Yea. I'm getting a retroid for my next device.

An FPGA would be cool but carts are expensive
