This would be useful, but hopefully it wouldn't looked cluttered. A few of those should already come with the shit

>LEVEL 17: PHILIPS CD-I SYSTEM ($5.5mil)

This shouldn't even be a reward level, it should already play this. There isn't even a fucking market for the CD-I

There's more? Fucking christ, they have to be delusional to think this is going to secure more than 8 million. They'd succeed if only 32,000 people preordered the base unit, but going off their current numbers, only around 1700 people have preordered this thing and they claim it's gonna go retail. The Polymega is going to die a horrible death

[Anonymous No.5045410]

These systems are fascinating. Every time one is anounced all of reddit pre-orders and then they're shocked when it ends up being a gigantic piece of shit.

Kevtris' most recent thoughts on the Polymega (after they dropped the FPGA/'hybrid emulation' plan):

>They've strayed pretty far from the original gameplan and are trying a hail mary pass to see if they can make a final go of it. I just think it's too little, to late. The current design is just a wishful thinking exercise IMO. I would like to see how they are going to remove 40W of heat from that little enclosure. Their previous version at E3 was overheating and was probably running on their original specs (SOC). A desktop CPU in that small box with no cooling will make a dandy coffee cup warmer I guess if nothing else.

Friendly reminder that these consoles make no sense and are for retarded people who don't know anything about retro.

Also it is something new in a collecting hobby centered around old stuff. Collectors hungry for new things they haven't seen before and something that they can just buy as a new product probably latch onto these consoles and modern cartridge rereleases (like the recent SFII and MMX cart). I admit that I thought Unholy Night could've been cool (and at least has nice packaging), but this stuff really just doesn't properly fit in a true old game collection.

[Anonymous No.5045569]

The fact that all the gameboys isn't a default attachment kind of blows my mind.

Although it also kind of amazes me no one has made FGPA consoles for all the GB's yet. If SNES is possible i'd assume gb/gbc/gba should be about as difficult

literally just pick up a 20% crt with s-video and buy actual hardware with flashcarts/piracy mods. All of the retor games you could ask for, played properly without any of the emulation/digital display jank

I don't know why people keeping buying inferior methods to play old games over and over again

Although, after looking at what this thing plans to offer, it's no wonder """retro""" fags still only care about playing their stupid consoles and not a single computer system. It's like, do you care about <<<retro>>> or being a console shill?

A small handfulof really poorly 200px stretched jpg asset timers made in Lua or javascript that you cannot move or resize out of the way.
Hardly useful.

It should focus on not being shit and doing a core set of features really well. It won't do a single thing correctly because they've already bet the farm on doing a billion things at once.

[Anonymous No.5046412]

I find hard it hard to believe that they are capable of creating these emulators on their own, for instance the n64 still hasn't had really accurate emulation after 20 years and these people think they are going to make one in about a year or so and they also want to recreate xbox live too.

>>5044687
or use original hardware or snesmini for emulators

[Anonymous No.5046528]

>>5046412
It's possible they could contract someone from the emu community with proven knowledge of the N64 to write a proper emulator.

[Anonymous No.5046542]

>>5046412
for that they need to reach the 8 million so it will never happen.

[Anonymous No.5046549]

>>5046412
Write their own emulators? lol that's the best joke I heard all day. The thought never even crossed my mind as a possibility. They will use other emulators and give no credit.

[Anonymous No.5046556]

>>5046549
>give no credit.

After the uproar over the Retron 5 and Retroarch devs bitching about their GPL software being used in commercial products (which is expressly permitted in the GPL), I don't think any company that isn't a sketchy fly-by-night Chinese outfit will pull that again.

[Anonymous No.5046794]

>>5046710
Retron’s only legal obligation is to publish the source code of any GPL software used in their product, which would give RetroArch their credit. Beyond that there’s nothing RA can do.

Same reason the Arcade1up pre-orders are selling out all over; even though they're complete trash. Smaller than a Japanese sit-down cab, the marquee is at crotch level on me. Spend less on a cheap pandora box knockoff console on eBay and get more games and can use it on a better display, or just emulate on PC and get an arcade stick if you're cheap.
Same with the little handheld cabs that run romhacks on a NOC. I collected some just for fun, but they are pretty useless.

[Anonymous No.5047274]

>>5047224
It hasn't been done today because it's more convenient to just get a cheap mobile device (whether it be a PSP or something else) and load it with emulators than to lug around and play on something that's pretty much as big as a laptop but is essentially a clusterfuck fami and mega clone. Hell, you might as well just get a used think pad and controllers if you want that experience.
