Well shit, /vr/. Looks like we have a new CD-ROM console to rival the PolyMega.

Well, on the bright side, an emulator doesn't care about copy protection, so there doesn't seem to be anything stopping you from using your own CD-Rs

Or you could just run the emulators with the images you downloaded to burn on the same computer you downloaded them on or from a 32gb sd in your fire stick

The funny thing is how this uses original media but still requires original system BIOS for the CD systems, so unless users dump the BIOS from their own personal consoles, they're still relying on piracy.

And if it was better and they put more work in it, then it could maybe run Saturn or original Xbox. So it might actually desirable. Hell, just making it strong enough to run Gamecube/Wii and PS2 would be SOMETHING.

To run Saturn games decently they'd need quite a powerful CPU to run Mednafen since they can't use a closed source emulator like SSF.
The only working Xbox emulators are held by Microsoft.

While I agree I think releasing an emulation console for GameCube/Wii would he really tricky for now. It would cost we much as a low/medium tier PC and there's not much of a reason to purchase it unless it's somewhat cheaper than a PC/laptop. Maybe this will be easy to sell when hardware prices go down more.
