Can This Console Work?

Hello guys I am new to this community

I have a problem. The Problem is I am too poor to get an NES and the only NES I have seen it in person was at my church. So this might not be allowed but I want to use my Coolbaby(bootleg console) just to speedrun

Colorado, USA

If it's not in the list, it's not allowed.

isn't the Coolbaby some knock-off Switch console? I thought I saw it in a video once...

EBH Well not exactly it is not a bootleg switch the one I have is a mirrored mini NES Console which supports two languages

Is the NES mini allowed? The official Nintendo one?

@Layerus because they are identical to the actual NES. Bootleg consoles are almost never accurate @Thee_Deadguy it is indeed allowed to run on the official NES mini. It just runs at 60 fps flat which is slower than NES (60.0988139 fps)

Appreciate that man, i guess the nes mini would be handier to hook up to a cpu for twitch too?
