The first step is purchasing the materials that will be needed to produce the manual, needed plastics, and the packaging boxes. All of these materials need to be in strict accordance with environmental standards and thanks to our many years of cooperation with experienced suppliers we can ensure our materials are top-quality.

Once we have our purchased materials we give them to our Quality Control QC department—which inspects all incoming materials to ensure they meet our strict standards. For example, the manual is looked-over to ensure everything it states is correct, packaging is testing to ensure it is not easily damaged or torn, and so forth.

The plastic case of the game console is produced with a medium-sized injection molding machine. The raw material used is ABS plastic. Because this material has excellent impact strength, protects the internal components inside the game machine, and has good stability and wear resistance, the casing is not be easily damaged and is therefore a superb material. Once the raw materials have been inspected by QC and given to the production department the mold of the game machine casing is installed onto the injection molding machine for debugging.

If there is no problem found after debugging, the color is selected according to the international color number. With these steps completed the plastic injection process commences. The prepared ABS material is poured into the injection molding machine for the high temperature melting process. After approximately hours the casing is completed and the indicator light of the injection molding machine will light up.

After the cooling process finishes, the casing is cut and smoothed around the trim to ensure it has no pointy or sharp edges. Finally, the completed case is sent to QC for inspection.

After being inspected to be sure it meets our standards, it is returned back to the production department for the assembly process. First the purchased motherboard is sent to the SMT department which attaches the needed small electronic materials to the PCB board through the placement machine and then fixes them by reflow oven. Next, the function of the game console is entered through the binding machine. If a defect is found then it is taken-out for repair. Finally, the IC is sealed with black glue and then placed in the oven for high temperature fixing to be done.

With this the PCBA board is completed, which is important as it has the main functions of the game console. Internal Assembly: First the workshop worker inserts the plug into the PCBA and then the plug is hardened and fixed in a furnace at temperatures up to degrees.

Then the product goes to the cutting area to cut-off any leftover material of the plug-in and to polish the PCBA through the automatic tin stove. After that, the speaker and the positive and negative aluminum springs of the battery as well as the main-board and the sub-board are connected by the FPC cable and are welded. Finally, the worker performs a PCBA function and button test. The External Assembly: First a layer of PVC lens is added to the display so as to protect it and then the buttons are and other parts are assembled onto the case.

Then the lid is closed and screwed tight. The next step is the installation of the battery so as to test the machine and then a sticker is affixed stating everything has passed assuming the tests show everything works correctly.

The QC department checks the completed game machine to make sure it will meet all the needs of our customers and meets every requirement of our factory. Portable consoles get the bootleg treatment too.

Typically, these cheapo devices tried to fake buyers into thinking they're something a lot more expensive than they are. If you've played the junky games made by Tiger, you know the drill. Each one is a dumpy attempt at a classic genre—shooter, driving game, one-on-one fighter—and all of the control buttons on the right side do the same thing. Known on the street as the "Terminator 2," this bootleg console was widely sold in Eastern European countries like Bulgaria and Croatia, but it ranged as far as Iran and Pakistan.

In Bosnia, it was one of the most common video game devices on the market, and you can still buy them for remarkably cheap. This was yet another Nintendo Entertainment System clone, but it was housed in a casing that looked like a Sega Genesis the hot system in Europe at the time. It would also often play games at a slower speed than normal. Even though the console took standard NES cartridges, they were insanely expensive abroad, so there were numerous bootleg multi-game carts released as well.

They retailed for under a dollar each, but you certainly got what you paid for. The distinctive yellow color of the carts will elicit a powerful emotional reaction in people who grew up with one of these. The massive success of the Wii was a boon for bootleggers. Since Nintendo's console wasn't particularly beefy from a technical standpoint, cheap knock-offs didn't have far to go to catch up.

Chinese bootleg manufacturer JungleTac rushed the hilariously ratty "Vii" to market in to capitalize on buyer confusion. Boasting a massively outdated bit processor, the Vii came packed with a "Power Rod" that let you play such smash hits as Alacrity Golf and Fry Egg.

They're all exactly as deep as they sound, mostly involving just single button presses to play. The console could also take one of three cartridges that featured even more knock-off games.

The guts of these bootleg consoles are all pretty much the same—80s hardware that you can make for pennies, cheaply soldered together by child labor somewhere in Asia. It's the outside casings where the scam artists really shine.
