I prefer to open things up and separate parts. Solid plastics I will use a mixture of Pine-Sol and water. The PCBs get cleaned with isopropyl. Labels get wiped with a damp cloth and dried immediately. For marker on plastic, it takes work but I also use isopropyl. Took forever to get the markings on the bottom of my SMB game pak. Some kid thought it was funny to make fun of Miriam using a stick figure with tits and it required many passes to scrub that off but now you can't even tell it was there.

It was great for me since I did not have any portable systems aside from the TurboExpress. I enjoyed playing the Gameboy games in the kiosks and it allowed for the games to be played on the SNES which I did have. Without it, I would be missing out on a lot of titles at the time since it was way too expensive to buy another system.

It was great for me since it was inexpensive since I was not into portables. Adding in its own separate power source, input+output ports may be a bit much to pass onto the customers, especially ones that already spent a lot on the SNES already.

Looks like I missed out being stuck at work. I am sort of relieved the decision was made for me since it appears it sold out quickly and I didn't have the funds. This is all kind of expected with how they've handled previous releases. Looks like the Limited Run long boxes sold out too. All these great new products chose a pretty poor time for release when money is tight for everyone due to COVID-19. I did look into the alternative of the DE-10 Nano, but that too is really expensive as well. Congrats to those that got one, I really wanted the Analogue Pocket too (with dock), but it was not meant to be.

I'm in the USA. I work in the food service industry. Explains a lot that luxury items like these are beyond my pay grade.

I use 91% isopropyl alchohol and pine-sol. The 9% water I don't think is that bad, and the alcohol cleans the metal contacts well. For plastics, Pine-Sol works pretty good.

Whenever I can. If work doesn't tire me out, and the maintenance necessary to continue to work and live are completed, past the obligations and time with friends and family are done ... it is nice to get some cleaning in. So far this year, I think I've spent more time cleaning than playing games. I guess in part, I take a while to clean a single game, which takes about 20 minutes each, and like an hour per console.

Yeah, I did state earlier in >>3704192
that I am adverse to doing so, I am considering sacrificing one of these Super Game Boys into my bootleg console as a "condom" for Gameboy games, only because I have two of them. Maybe if I could ever afford two flash carts, might I consider one for the actual systems and one for the bootleg system. Admittedly I've been jealous of those RetroPi builds people do with aftermarket parts: https://youtu.be/dV-W23lONI4

Well, the clone system I have I don't think uses the same emulator. It is supposedly a bunch of hardware clones, like a Nintendo on a chip, Genesis on a chip, etc. As described here: https://youtu.be/i9y12oIwCE0
