How we research

Where the information comes from

  • Specificationscome from the maker's own product page or documentation. If the maker does not publish a figure, we leave it out rather than guess.
  • Pricesare indicative UK prices in pounds, shown with the month we checked them (for example, “around £60, checked Oct 2026”). They are never live or guaranteed.
  • Citations are limited to maker documentation and authoritative bodies. We do not cite retailers, competing affiliate sites, forums or blogs as evidence.

What we do not claim

Unless a page is explicitly marked as hands-on, we have not tested, owned or benchmarked the product. We do not publish star ratings or scores, because a number implies a test we have not run.

What we will not publish

We do not link to, host or explain how to obtain ROM or BIOS files. Where emulation comes up, we describe what a device's hardware supports and how to use games you own.

Changes and corrections

Pages are updated when specifications or prices change. Corrections are made promptly; use the contact page to report one. See also our editorial policy.
