It looks like the bolt is perhaps brass? I'm wondering if you can't sand the surface a bit and low-temp solder a nut or something to it to get a better grip. Once you get it off, unsolder it and clean up the leftovers.

Either way, the question I would be asking myself is: is this a tool or a decoration? If it's a tool, it doesn't seem to me like it makes sense to try to preserve the bolt. I'm guessing this is old, and if so, people from long ago would have used whatever bolts and screws they had handy to repair things; you'd be keeping in that spirit by doing the same!

It looks like silly fun, but as they say on their own page, they don't recommend it as a daily driver, specifically because it was designed with humor in mind, not maintainability.

Could be worth spinning up in a VM or giving away on an old laptop, though...

Yawn. Is this what we're doing, now? Virtue signaling and ragebaiting when somebody doesn't explicitly support piracy?

This isn't a controversy. Mark's entire business is tied up in YouTube, and promoting piracy is against their ToS; he could lose his channel for that.

Honestly, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. Emulating old hardware is one thing, but they have a current vested interest in their most recent console.

Still, Nintendo's lawyers can rub spurge on their eyes, and I hope the Yuzu devs find a great lawyer (or better yet, are safely hidden behind some kind of digital or geopolitical veil).
