Je kon er op wachten dat BREIN (tumor) en Nintendo achter de Retro Box sellers aan zouden gaan. Dit is zijn mensen die een Raspberry Pi voorzien van honderden ROMS en deze dan via Marktplaats en andere websites aanbieden tegen prijzen van 100 Euro en meer, wat grappig is aangezien je dit zelf ook voor minder dan 70 Euro kan bouwen. Net als de Kodi Boxen met illegale addons is dit een doorn in het oog van rechthebbenden, alleen heeft Nintendo in dit geval eigenlijk geen recht van spreken als je dit bericht heb gelezen waar in ze ZELF illegale ROMS verkopen via Virtual Console. De website TorrentFreek sprak Tim Kuik hier over en uit het artikel kan je hier onder een stukje lezen.

A man who sold retro-gaming systems with thousands of installed games has faced the wrath of Nintendo and Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN. The Raspberry Pi-based consoles contained many titles for old gaming systems including Gameboy, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Megadrive and Playstation. But, despite their age, BREIN says that infringement of all kinds must be punished.

That's also the case in the Netherlands, where Nintendo and other companies are taking action against people involved in the sale of what are effectively pirate gaming systems. In a recent case, Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN took action against the operator of the Retrospeler (Retro Player) site, an outlet selling a ready-made retro gaming system.

As seen from the image above, for a little under 110 euros the player can buy a games machine with classics like Super Mario, Street Fighter, and Final Fantasy pre-installed. Add a TV via an HDMI lead and a joypad or two, and yesteryear gaming becomes reality today. Unfortunately, the fun didn't last long and it was soon "Game Over" for Retro Player.

Speaking with TorrentFreak, BREIN chief Tim Kuik says that the system sold by Retro Player was based on the popular Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Although small and relatively cheap, the Pi is easily capable of running retro games via software such as RetroPie, but it's unclear which product was installed on the version sold by Retro Player.
