They're preloaded with an sd card of thousands of roms for the emulators that run on them.

Raspberry pi is basically a mini PC, most will stick a minimal Linux distro on it, with emulators and roms.

From a technical point, you can only load ROMs that you have dumped yourself from your own cartridges/discs.
In reality, nobody cares and you wont get in trouble.

Well in honesty I've never bought anything on Ebay before, I was just looking for SNES classic for a cheaper price and started coming across these.

My girlfriend lives in a fairly small town but that has a Walmart etc and they still have legit NES and SNES classics. If you want a real one you might have to get off your ass.
