Yeah, I've learnt my lesson, haha, although I picked up a Pocket much for the same reason as you did (and OpenFPGA cores were barely getting talked about then, so I didn't have that many expectations in that regard) and my Super Nt has honestly been perfectly fine.

Cheers for the heads-up, I've been watching quite a few restoration videos on OG Xboxes and I've seen what those damned clock capacitors can do...
I'm actually leaning towards getting a 360, since it seems to have pretty good backwards compatibility, but most importantly (to me) the shmup catalogue is incredible on there.
Emulation is good enough, but my only PC is a Steam Deck, so that doesn't really cut it for Xbox and 360 atm.
