I think the true summary is that this is a deeply flawed software emulation system that can read original CD/DVD/Carts and use original controllers.
Really looking at the actual performance it seems worse than running these emulators via something like emulation station with a bunch of image / roms.
Can't disagree with that. I'm struggling to see how there's a big market of people who want to collect physical games for a wide variety of systems, but not the consoles themselves.
For those with the physical games they also probably want genuine/1:1 playback. There are a number of FPGA based options now that provide a near perfect original experience but with modern options.
I really like the modular idea but the actual play experience looked horrible and the cartridge/controller modules are expensive.
