There are a LOT of these kinds of devices coming out lately. Part of it is obviously cashing in on fear-based nostalgia. The other is… consoles have already begun dying at an alarming rate. And cartridges aren’t that far behind.
I don’t know what the current “meta” products are, but back in the day you just buy a retrode (?), rip all your roms (and, actually importantly, your save data), and then just keep the cartridges in a box somewhere so you know you have it while you instead just play your games with no issues.
