It's impressive you guys programmed those in-house as that can't be an easy job with so many consoles supported. Sorry for the mistake in the video and thanks for the info!
@@RikkiSan1 Convenience I'd assume. Rather than searching out all the different emulators and then setting them all up, this seems to be an all in one solution for CD games. I personally wish if we're talking about an all in one system that it had the ability to play DVD games (PS2 generation) but CD is a good place to start.
@@RikkiSan1 Right now, you might be interested in the UI or low latency controllers ports on the modules, or simplifying your gaming setup in another room of your house. Later, maybe the Light gun, new 1st party exclusive games, modules, and so on.
@@MetalJesusRocks it was helpful that the BIOS functions were previously documented by nocash and others on the internet. Still, it was an incredible challenge our engineering team had to overcome.
For sure is expensive. If they brought down the cost then they could Increase the user base and target demographic. OwtDaftUK may just not be the proper audience. consider the cost for collectors who have a huge library but you need to buy one of each system, controllers. cables. tons of adapters or upscalers. and/Or dedicate space for Older compatible displays.
The problem with UK pricing at the moment is Polymega doesn't have a direct distributor into the market here, so there's a middle-man (German company 'Worldwide Distribtion GmbH') putting a margin on the price, on top of the margin they have to allow for the cut to the actual retailer (e.g. Amazon), plus what Playmaji need to make a profit themselves. Add all that together, and there's your £500! Hopefully they'll sort it out!
Yeah man I hear you. I have all my original sega cd and saturn games but I hate having a million systems set up at once even though ive build a cart to hold em all. But you have a million cords all over the place.
It’s pretty cool. It has had its ups and downs and I’m glad it actually became a real product. I really wish the base system was cheaper though. $400 bucks is too much for an emulator box
@ Sixth generation means Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox and Gamecube. That of course could work. It's not much different from what the Polymega is doing, just adding another generation. The only problem could be XBOX emulation as that's not as far advanced as PS2, DC and GCN as far as I know.
This is stupid because electronics are constantly changing and getting better theres no computer that's 6 generations old that can compete with something new and up to date
I thought thats exactly what Xbox Cloud is doing. Except is doing it with out any "physical console". So if "virtual consoles already can "put up to" to those kind of graphics with only internet
Definitely getting one of these for the living room. And yes I have setup a htpc before and honestly the hassle isn't worth it anymore. Not only that but I love the idea of using my actual collection. Great job playmaji can't wait to get mine.
Yea, I just can't be bothered with that stuff nowadays. Being basically plug and play, using my physical games, and having a nice menu and OS setup sold me on this.
@Christopher Howard That's another good point, the convenience of others. Like my wife who may play more of the puzzle games she likes if she doesn't have to drag out and figure out what goes to what to hook up the Genesis ( with a Sega CD so 2 power supplies) up to the TV and such, and definitely isn't going to mess around with emulator menus on whatever system to boot up Columns.
Doodle World looks super cool! It reminds me a lot of a flash game I used to play as a kid called "Mighty Guy" in 2006/2007. It had a similar "notebook" aesthetic. Of course, that game was just a short game to play in your web browser, I doubt it holds up today. Your game's just really touching on that nostalgia for me. Real excited to play it!
But... You DO have a TurboGrafx CD game. FX Unit Yuki 😆😆😆 I'm finally getting around to watching this in it's entirety and I'm happy to see that your thoughts on this are positive. I was the first on RU-vid to stream this console (and have streamed it over 400 hours now) and I am very happy with it. I recently got the 2nd Beta unit and installed an M.2 SSD in it and it'll easily hold my entire collection. I think it's the perfect streamer box too! And now I'm rambling lol. Great video! 😃
I'm sure people will buy it, but that's rather a lot of money to be charging. Creating emulators that emulate 100% the hardware would be a better focus. Granted, that is extremely resource intensive, but over time the hardware available now will be enough to emulate any generation, just not generally the last few.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Dude overpriced is an understatement. Almost everything on this system can be emulated with a much cheaper system like NVIDIA shield or Pi. One exception is the Sega Saturn. Very hard system to emulate.
Yeah, it's going to be awesome. I'm not paying over $200 for a game, so I have been buying repros of games like Shining Force III(All three with english patches) and Panzer Dragoon Saga. They even come with packaging that looks pretty damn close to the real thing(Marked as reproductions of course.) Can't wait :D
Exactly. A 150 dollar thinkpad (T420/X220) plays PS2 and gamecube just fine now at native resolution which outputs at 1080p (external not internal which is what this is doing). On top of that you have a computer you can do anything else you want on it. Might as well buy a cheap i5 machine for 400 bucks and be able to play much more.
For a console with an online store? That supports updates for that many consoles? That is modular? With an Intel Processor? What are you smoking? You can't buy just a Saturn for that cheap.
Thank you for this review very impressed since you’re an expert. I was on the edge about the system I was looking for reviews and honest ones and he pushed me towards wanting to purchase this.
That's the thing, especially for PS1. With RetroArch you can run discs from your disc drive, and when you have those cores (like Beetle PSX which is already more compatible than the PS3) and latency options there's just not much reason to have an emulation console for this anymore. An FPGA console may still have use for your television depending on what you're into, but if it's a software emu console you may as well use an old PC or a Pi.
@@Projectwolfie21 this isn't for you. It's for the people who 1. Don't have a PC. 2. Don't have the time to get the emulation to run correctly and spend hours hunting for ROMs and the right version of emulator. And 3. Want to use their original games. Like I said, this isn't for you.
@@Ohsyrus I just said that you could use your original games (for non-CD there is the Retrode). That's a good point about not owning a PC though. Android RetroArch doesn't seem to have the ability to load a disc even though it can support a CD drive via USB (and yes, more recent Snapdragons can do what is required). Though at that point, you need to ask yourself how many don't already have a setup to play these either through CRTs or through upscalers which tend to need even less setup.
Ohsyrus if u gonna spend 400$ on a console i am pretty sure u can get a pc or more likely u already have one. ROMs are easily available especially for non-Nintendo console.
I've been following Polymega, and I've watched dozens of hours of Sarumaru's streams showcasing the product in real time (all the goods, and all the bads... he's really doing Yeoman's work over there). I'm really impressed with Polymega's product. What it sets out to do, it does way better than anyone would have expected from being simply an emulation device. It also has the added bonus that it's an honest system (thats something I value at least). It's using licensed bios and it's all above board from their end of the transaction. It's also a product that can improve over time with system updates and once they get a large base of customers using this thing, and reporting hiccups here and there... it will eventually be honed to a sharp edge. My only gripe with this system is the price point. While you can make any manor of justifications of what buying OEM legacy hardware, upscallers, high quality cables... exc, I still don't understand the price. I don't think it's fair to compare this to an FPGA solution like say the Analogue... if you did that, you would win the argument of price and scope of supported systems for sure, but you would never touch the performance. You could compare it to the MiSTer, and while you would be almost dead even in price, the MiSTer covers all but 2 of the systems the Polymega supports, but then on top of that offers dozens more, as well as older computer systems and scores of arcade PCBs. The MiSTer also enters into the potentially "not above board" with ethical licensing which might be seen as a downside, but lets be honest, thats not stopping anyone from buying a MiSTer. You could compare it to modern consoles like the Switch, Xbox One, Playstation 4, and this argument really comes down to "what would YOU the consumer rather spend your $400 on" because it's the least "apples to apples" comparison. Polymega's product stands on it's merits, and it's just one more competitor in a VERY saturated marketplace. While it sets itself apart from its competitors by offering a pre-configured CD capable emulation platform with massive storage potential... there are many solutions that do "nearly" the same thing for 1/4 the price if you don't mind doing the configuration yourself or having someone do it for you (via pre-configured system images for various SBC's such as the Raspberry Pi, or LaunchBox on the PC). I don't know what it costs to develop, market and sell through a retailer like Walmart... and I'm not about to. This is a device that is only going to succeed when it actually gets into the hands of consumers and they gush about it to all their friends on social media. Polymega probably doesn't have the marketing budget to really shove this device in the faces of its potential customer base, and that's unfortunate... they have a great product to sell. Sadly, the price point takes an already niche market (retro gaming), and carves it up into an even smaller niche market (premium experience retro gaming), and not all of them are going to drop $400 for starters, another $100 on a nice side NVMe drive and $75 for each additional module when they already own real hardware for many of these systems. Sorry, I am just not confident thats how its going to pan out. Your average Walmart gamer that isn't plugged into the gaming community, isn't aware of the options out there and is going to see a Polymega sitting on the shelf next to a brand new Switch and think... It's time to dust off my old CD games! After all... who wants to play Breath of the Wild and Mario Universe anyway!? I can get a Switch instead and save $100 to buy a dozen digital games or a couple brand new blockbuster titles all the cool kids are talking about right now. These competing platforms have digital marketplaces that not only cover multiple platforms, but are growing exponentially every... single... day... and will continue to expand until the platform goes end of life 5-6 years from now. I want Polymega to succeed, but I'm not confident that starting out where they are now is going to result in anything but disappointing launch that will be overshadowed by the next hype train of a device. Maybe they aren't in an equitable position to sell it for less, and this is all a moot point. Anyway... I wish them the best, I hope I'm wrong on every point.
11:25 there was a Sega CD version of Megarace? I had that for the PC when I was a kid (it came with a CD-Rom drive my dad bought for our computer back in the mid-90's.) I loved that game when I was a kid!
I'm sold! The disk drive on my Sega Saturn just went out. And to get it fixed cost the same amount as getting another one. I was looking for another Saturn and I came across this system. I totally forgot all about it. I needed to get it not only to play my Saturn but every other systems it plays out of the box. I got a pretty big collection.
It's funny, I had this exact concept as a kid of a system that could play multiple retro systems through interchangeable adapters. I never thought it would actually exist, but it's really cool to see. I currently don't have a reason to buy one, I can already play most of the supported systems. I do hope they add Atari Jaguar support since working Jaguar CD units are so rare. 3DO and Amiga CD32 support would also be nice. Then I would definitely get one. Edit: I just love how everyone in the comments are preaching about how PCs are superior, when this is clearly, 100% not a product aimed at PC users. The people who would buy this system know PCs can play the same games. They simply DO. NOT. CARE.
Thank you for the review! I've been loosely following this one for a while now and I am absolutely impressed, will definitely be looking into one of these for the future. :D
Been keeping an eye on this ever since Victor Lucas of Electric Playground interviewed the folks at Poly Mega (back when he was filming at the VFS in Vancouver) and I'm glad to hear it's so far so good.
Hope no more delays again. Many retro gamers are skeptical about this due to covid 19 pandemic situation that affect manufacturing process & meeting the demands.
I'm absolutely getting this to play my Saturn, Sega CD, Neo Geo CD, TurbuDuo and PS1 games! More than anything my Saturn! I still own my original launch Saturn but had to get another one for my games to work, same with my PS1 although I usually play them on my PS3. This solves a lot of my issues!
@DOOMSlayer No. They're right. I think the UI is nice and works well with the system, but I want to know where that $400 is coming from. Because the most expensive thing in there is probably the SSD. MAYBE the CPU, depending on how old it is, but I doubt it, you don't need much.
I'd say this is a no brainier for someone who doesn't own a PC (perhaps one of the hundreds of millions of Apple Computer customers) and is interested in classic games with no setup / fuss.
The concept is kinda cool... The company (at least on social media) are assholes, especially if you question certain aspects of their devices. I got banned on twitter for asking how it's really different than a mister. They didn't seem to like questions. For that price point, I'd rather have original hardware with an OSSC and use original controllers. I'm not saying there isn't a market for this. In fact, I might have considered on had the MiSTer not come out (because I just ripped all my CD based games anyway). Just the way they treated their customers on social media. They never did explain what hybrid emulation really is.... so with emulation, it can do the same thing a Windows PC can do with 20 minutes of downloading. Also, I got my gen 2 sega genesis, a 32x and a sega cd for like 80. It did take me about a week of nights recapping, cleaning and fixing. So yeah, there's that and most people won't want to or can go to that extreme. I know you said it's a Linux flavor they are using, I'm hoping they are using ext3 or ext4 for the file system otherwise, if it's fat32 and they are constantly writing and deleting from the hard drive, there's going to be a lot of fragmentation overtime. Also, 40 Winks is definitely a good game! Yeah, I wrote a wall of text but I did also watch the whole video!!
When companies (especially small ones like these) start being bums on social media, I instantly get turned off from their product. That goes for RU-vidrs as well.
"If you have a PC with the emulators and ROMs, this isn't going to add much" Honestly, the idea of a console in your living room that plays thousands of classics, with a good controller, and everything just works no matter what with no issues... it's the wet dream of thousands of avid physical game collectors. Our voice of "Please can the console market stop sitting on their pile of gold and actually let a 3rd party make a new console for them" is somewhat finally being heard and it's amazing. I'd love to see PS2/Xbox support but I understand if thats where the line of generosity gets drawn. At $400, its steep but as it's an incredible solution to what is years of people wanting something like this, it's really a very good price. It takes the notion of "You're paying for graphics and power" and turns it on it's head, instead offering a consistent and pain-free nostalgia trip.
I have an awesome PC setup already, however I still REALLY want this for my living room where all my old games actually are. I also find running Saturn emulators to be a pain in the ass, so I would much rather just get this and not have to worry about it. I am really hoping they add 3DO support at some point too. That's another console I'd much rather have this for.
TBH, it really depends on what you want to play. I'm personally playing older systems with N64 being the most recent, so most of the ones I want to play will gladly work on RetroPi. But, for more recent games, it's a definite problem.
-SG6000- So what’s going on here? He definitely says he’s playing the Saturn version and the Polymega adds a fan translation. Are we being mislead? I was aware there was a patch being worked on, but due to the difference between the ways the Sega CD and Saturn store files, it’s not straight forward and it’s still some way off from release.
James Shultz nah dude, 11:08-11:25 in the video, he inserts Saturn Snatcher, comments on the American version costing hundreds maybe thousands of dollars, then says “fan translation and you’re good to go”
@@PikaStu666 Yeah, I caught that too. He also claims the North American version of Snatcher for Saturn is hundreds or thousands of dollars. But of course, there is no NA version for Saturn. He's simply mistaken for lack of research and, in turn, misinforming the audience.
The best thing with the Polymega is that i will now begin collecting games for consoles that i do not own and at the same time i can preserve my games. I love to play on the original hardware but it is getting more and more difficult to connect my Saturn, Mega Drive, mega cd and so on to my New TV. And i do want to save both my consoles and games. So this is a great solution for me :-)
Its basically Retroarch on a box like a Pie but this system has a Coffeelake core processor and DDR4 Ram also the room to expand storage via M.2. For around $450USD you can build a Ryzen 3200G APU based PC that can emulate all of these Games fine using Retroarch. $400 is steep then extra for the expansions to play other consoles, I would personally prefer to build an APU based rig and that's exactly what I did. pcpartpicker.com/list/By3Xjp
or you can simply buy a playstation classic for 30 dollars and a 15 dollar USB drive and put retroarch on it (project eris being the newest build as for as Im aware) and play all of these games just fine...thats what I did lol
@@kyles8524 Slightly cheaper alternative, I do prefer a decent PC as an Emulation machine because I can emulate newer consoles but I'm sure it works perfectly fine.
@@hardcorehardware361 Its pretty cool, the thing I really like about using retro arch on the ps classic is you can load up game genie and action replay cheats and others like gameshark into your games for basically all the emulators and they have tons of codes for each game and the Liberto cores for each console or aka emulator cores ensures you dont run into compatibility issues.Its kind of cool if you are off on a road trip or something and dont want to haul around a computer cause I dont know if you have ever handled a ps classic but its even smaller than the snes classic.You can also load your built in playstation games that come installed on the console or ones you put onto the USB drive from retro arch instead of bleemsync so you can load cheats into those games as well
Man after all these years of watching classic video game videos, RU-vid finally put you guys on my “might be interested in” category. I wish I knew about you guys sooner. I recently subscribed and I have a lot of catching up to do on your channel. I guess better late than never. You guys rock!!!!
This is actually a collectors dream. To be able to play all these systems on one console and save your originals to the hard drive. No wear and tear on original collection and you don't have to have 5+ consoles hooked up to one tv. Price might be a little steep but worth the investment imo.
I'm not interested in putting a computer in my entertainment center. I'm not interested in pirating games/roms. I like to collect physical copies of games and play them - I like this because it gives me an opportunity to play on one system
@@BWheble Its a PC in a box which is playing the game via an emulator - the same as a Rasberry Pi or a PC with Retroarch. Why spend money on originals and then NOT play them on the original hardware? Makes no sense as emulation is inferior compared to original hardware and the game isn't being played as it should.
I pre-ordered my polymega in April and my one question is: when you play Japanese games, does it automatically switch to the language of your preference or do you have to download the fan translation? At 11:32 in your video you mentioned this, but I'm a little confused 😅. Please let me know.
I think this has taken far too long to surface. I've been hearing about this for years. The processor isn't up to scratch for emulating more high powered consoles and the fact there is barely any storage isn't helping matters. I think I'd rather build a mini pc tbh
Really, right? You could spend $400 building a Ryzen 3400G system and end up with something far more powerful. Not to mention, most $400 laptops would also outperform it.
madmatt2024 Exactly this seems like a waste of money especially when with a pc I can fetch the games on my own and emulate past this things limitations. For $400 they need to start saying we got some 1 for 1 or better.
As someone who has (barely) attempted to "build" a PC and backed out, I never got the whole notion of how 400 bucks could allow someone to build a PC that works better without just knowing where some deals are. My current PC is 600 bucks and it can't even do Saturn emulation right. Or PS2.
@@RippahRooJizah Out of curiosity,I just tried this on Newegg. I was right around $400, all components, no special deals, all name brand parts. That's a Ryzen 5 3400G, A320 motherboard, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD or 1TB hdd, power supply, and case. If you go deal hunting then it can be done even cheaper. If you wanted something better for gaming you could swap the 3400G for a 3100, add an RX 570, and be around $515. Once again, all new, name brand, parts.
The controller is actually a Genesis PV65 Wireless. It has one big problem and a small one. First of all, the big one. The L/R Triggers can loosen up because something inside the button can break, a little plastic peg which holds the spring a certain way. If it break, they will not spring back quickly and they would feel mushy. The spring won't fall out, but there would be no tension. The small problem is that the rubberized surface can get sticky in a humid and dusty environment, if left unused. I had mine for around 4 years. Didn't break. Still works just fine. The trigger problem doesn't really matter that much for me. I can still play my racing games just fine and run cars at half throttle.
Very Interesting! (Arte Johnson's German Soldier From Laugh-In) My Sega CD I've had since the 90's has died & this unit has what i need for a replacement since the price for a model 1 Sega CD console is close to 400 dollars or more. I don't own any Saturn, Neo Geo, or Turbo -CD's but would be nice to have access to them. I'm willing to give it a try. Light Gun games too?!! Wowser!!
i think this is a really forward thinking idea. it may not do great right now, but something like this is needed overall. consider what video game collecting is going to be like in 20 to 40 years from now. are we even going to be able to find hardware anymore? are we really going to be able to find replacement parts for disc drives? eventually this is what gaming is going to look like, whether it's this or an emulator
As someone who makes emulator tutorials for youtube and my blog and can confirm people are just lazy. No matter how much you explain and try to teach then, people want to be spoonfed and not do anything. Reading the Q&A in the description? Too much. Reading the pinned comment? Too hard. Watching the video? I'll just put this question that the guy answers in the first 10 secs of the guide. Even for Retroarch, something that pretty much does everything for you, users don't want to mess with it. They want to download everything already done, games and settings.
I prefer emulators but some people have original games they wanna play on an hdtv and yes some people aren’t tech savvy. It’s not because they’re lazy. It’s because they unlike us have no interest in tech. I know how to do this because I’m very passionate about tech. I’m fairly lazy but that doesn’t stop me.
@8bit NES Cutscene I agree. Some people are different but I have trouble playing on the original hardware because of the save states not being there. It especially sucks when games use a password save system.
From what I can tell from looking this up, $500 just for the first Nintendo and accessories? Does it even make light gun games work on modern TV's for that kind of money?
dapperfan44 mmm light guns don’t work with non CRT screens... however it’s true that the Mini NT is crazy expensive. Got a Mega SG and Super NT for the same price of the NT Mini... added a de10 nano FPGA to the hardware collection. Best Buy for hardware emulation!
21:14 what is that game?? I remember playing it on a demo disc but can never remember what its called. Also if they add a module for handheld systems like GBA and maybe some others such as DS and what not that would be amazing.
I like the interface, the save states, and the game inporting ability. What I don't like is the latency. Granted, it is not too bad, kinda like the NES classics. I love my shoot'em ups, and the lag detracts from my enjoyment. I have all of the other FPGA consoles, and ODEs, so I don't really need mine, thinking about selling it. Its a good place to start for people who don't have these consoles, but for hardened vets, it's not going to change their minds about original gear.
Latency for Wireless and USB is reportedly 2 or more frames. But latency for wired controllers into the modules are 1 frame or less (again, reportedly).. thats what.. 16 ms, or less. Not CRT ofc but what is these days. Hope this sheds some more light on the matter :)
Pretty cool idea, and a comprehensive review. All being said, I think most retro game collectors will just play them on the original systems and forgo spending $400. It does have some really neat features. It it supported PS2 I think it would be on a whole nother level
Trolling ? This pos is 400 bucks lol to be able play old ass games that look like shit but your paying a premium for them to look like shit in HD. You can get all of this shit for free online. Just for the sake of it being "original" people are willing to pay a ridiculous 400 bucks to play blocky pixelized games. Couldn't be me.
@@alexslays_yt7277 lmao wtf are you even here for you clearly dont like 90% of retro games if thats your additude. Fact is i could spend 400 on this and save on spending hundreds more on consoles that most of the time will break due to age. Sure i could put it on my pc but i already have hundreds of games on there so filling it with another couple thousands plus looking up which emulators work best with it and bios and looking for the iso/roms and making sure those are good copies then after that you still have all of these emulators and shit as individual programs on your system unless you get retrocarch which is another program that all has to be set up...
I would love to know if Shining Force 3 works on this perfectly cause I know it has issues with emulation. If you've tried it offscreen, can you please let me know if it's working well or not. Thank you Metal Jesus!!!
I preordered one of these, but am only interested in the Genesis adapter, since it can play 32X games. I’m mainly interested in it so I can back up my CD games, as I have games for all the systems it has been announced to support.
Wait wait wait. Since when is there a fan translation of Snatcher on Saturn? And why would an English translation pop up when you’re loading a Japanese copy of the game? The hell is going on here?
I think he must have put in the disc and downloaded the translation patch. Then the next time inserted the disc (if he hadn't actually installed the game), started it in the "enhanced" mode and it played with the translation as standard.
I wasn't interested until I found out that I can just backup my PS1 games on it. I'm sold. Now I'm just waiting for them come out with a similar device for ps2 games.
I think it’s a game changer for a collector to have a concert like this and I can’t really late for it comes up in Hopetoun and I’ve been on a high train for months for this console to come out and I will be by one deathly for it that’s great we can pay PS D games And have a con for what you can pay on with that Stephanie is the fee based on it’s really good and be good for Parlett if you’re a bird games at all
I love the controller. For those who don't know, it's a re-badged GameSir G3s (amzn.to/3aYubBL). Polymega acknowledges this directly in their FAQ (Here, under tech specs: www.polymega.com/faq/).
$400? No way. You can buy a $200 small form factor PC, a CD drive, install a frontend, install emulators and get better results. It wouldn't even take that long to install. I know a lot of R&D went into this thing but, at $400 this is way too much. This thing is also missing some features like online play, high scores, etc.
Yeah, it's complete BS. I paid them for the base unit and all of the add-ons over 18 months ago, close to $600. I have nothing. But a bunch of random YTers get the units that myself and others have paid for. I'm giving them one last chance. The delays are bull**** If I don't have mine by 11/1 I am asking them for a refund and never looking back.
Very comprehensive review, MJR, thank you! Cool to see all the offerings and special features included. Definitely a great piece but agree with many that $400 is a big leap to start. Awesome as always 🤟
I would buy it but i have to get a ps5 1st. The polymega seems to be really cool for people who have played and still want to play retro games as well as the new generations to be able to play classic games they missed on.
I had no idea this existed!? I'm interested, especially if modules (and controllers?) could be produced for true retro consoles (Intellivision, ColecoVision, etc.)?👍
when showing the Virtua Fighter Remix at 10:50, see that there are several graphic bugs on the floor, this is typical of the VF1 and VFR emulation . And being just emulation, I think it is much more worth emulating on the PC, where you can emulate all the systems you want, configure everything to your liking, with all the isos and roms you want.
If I was into collecting retro games I would definitely want this. And if I got this then I'd definitely get into collecting retro games. Would be fun to get in the future... at maybe half the price.
I hope we get a clone of the original Xbox at some point, the original hardware is prone to a leaky clock capacitor and the hard drive isn’t easily replaced!
@@NCISCherno I am looking at other systems, I am new to this. But you are right after some research this should be a lower price. I am betting the copy rights were the expensive part.
The disk support makes all the difference. Many, MANY collectors will eat this up. Not like they are trying to sell on par with the PS5 and Xbox.....They are going qafter a Niche market like the man above in the video. Hardcore collectors with $$ to burn.
The point is to enjoy and play video games. This pretentious attitude that all games must be played on original hardware is just getting really old, tiresome, and irrelevant.
@@MrRobarino So you want to pay $400 to play roms from some systems? Then pay extras $80 a shot to play other roms. The makers of this are glad there a people like you around. Emulators don't play the games correctly, whatever you may think.
At $400, it wouldn't have been too much to ask to throw in a couple of popular adaptors but I guess it is what it is. Still, more choices in the market aren't a bad thing.
Considering it uses a version of Linux and off the shelf components it's way overpriced. Although it'll be a very niche system so I imagine the high cost guarantees a profit.
