Is there a Webpage that has them all at once?
So many Hyperlinks to Twitter...
And to roam 151 single Pages on Bulbapedia...?

@shgamer

Buy a new one, it is pretty easy to replace the Battery.

@Razieluigi
There is nothing philosophical about it, the Polymega is Emulation from the Start.
Using the original Module or Disk doesn't change the Fact, that it emulates the System.
The Module or Disc is only the Medium with the Information of the Game, but the Hardware runs it.
In case of the Polymega, it emulates the Hardware.
@Coalescence
Right.

It is slowly ending, was at least a entertaining show lol

@Luminous117
The Drama is entertaining

@Waka_the_Prophet

I am agreeing, love the 351V.

The Screen Size is just a perfect Match for old Games and i was surprised how good my beloved Super Nintendo Games look on that LCD Screen.
I also really like to play Playstation Games on it on the Couch,

But yes, it is to weak for N64 Games.

But i am glad it has more support with 351 Elec, Diablo through Devilution is great and Turtles Palooza Thing Game (forgot the Name ).

Have it and i am using it for the N64 and Gamecube, it is indeed a really good Cable and Scaler.

I like the OSSC a little more, for the Super Nintendo, but i can recommend the Rad2 102%!

Ahhh nice, much more Stories haha

The Pricing and weak Hardware will kill it, if it really ever will be released.

Got myself the Anbernic rg351v for Christmas and was surprised, what a nice quality Handheld!

Got it especially for the Aspect Ratio and because i was in the Mood for Playstation Games.

Super Nintendo, Megadrive and Playstation Games look really really really good on it!
It is not as pixelated as on a big Screen and comes somehow closer to a CRT because of it.

Speaking of ROMs, i ripped my own Stuff, also because i wanted the german or spanish Versions.

And i do not fear that someone will bring me into Charge for Games i have loaded that aren't sold (besides on eBay for crazy Sums) and the original Company doesn't exists any longer.

@Tasuki @CowCatcher

So true, they had no Prototype, no History of prior Releases.
Somehow People wanted to take a Site or believe in this.

Btw. i had no Idea who that Tommy Talarico was before.

Ahh it was so entertaining, sad the Show is coming to an End.
Especially with Pat (the NES Punk) and Ian from the CU Podcast.

@BulbasaurusRex

The Retrode still does the same and didn't spread more Rom Sites than were before.
There will be absolutly no Damage from sharing in private some Roms with Friends, this happened before in a much wider Way with copied Audio and Video Casettes.
Thats why many Countries have a Tax on every Medium sold, be it a CD-Burner, Hard Drive, USB-Stick, SD-Card etc. :

@SirPrimalform

Because it has than the same Scheme to run and jump as in Super Mario World and even the Super Gameboy did it that wise back then

Edit: The Angle is to steep in the diamond layout.
Thats why most games since the Super Nintendo changed from A and B to B and Y.
Your thumb comes from below, the angle holding it is cozier.

@sanderev

There are ways to dump roms and put them on a sd cart.
Retrode2 for Modules and any CD/DVD-Drive for Discs.
The Sega Roms are even purchasable on Steam, you can use them on a everdrive or emulator of your choice.

And Games that are abandoned and the Originals costs several houndreds of your Currency?
Get it where you can, even if not legal, nobody will bring you to court.
The original Creators will se no Cent from the second Hand Market.

@mikegamer
The Anbernic ones work with Retroarch, you can change the Button Mapping also per Game if you wish.
As stated, N64 and Dreamcast Emulation is crap, but 8bit, 16 bit and Playstation work really great.

I couldn't buy a Analogue without Credit Card and my GBC is under Repair.
I also wanted to play Playstation Games, so i tried the Anbernic rg351v.

As a FPGA Snob, i can really really recommend the software emulation bases Anbernic rg351v!

The build Quality is pretty great, Buttons feel great and the 2D Systems and Playstation work great.
Can't recommend it for N64 or dreamcast and you have to rebind Buttons for the NES/Gameboy to B=A and Y=B.

The Screen is great and has the correct aspect Ratio for old Games.
140€ on Amazon.

@lemonjellydude
Ha overread your comment.
I also like that you can see through the case, like my og Gameboy

It is a great Value, i am glad that i could backup my old savegames with the Retrode2.

Also great to use those on other devices and port them back in the end.

Also use it to get Mew in an easier way, no cloning with another game or using trickery, just a action replay code on the emulator hehe

Turok 2 has an amazing Soundtrack on the Gameboy.

Love such Stuff.

Aren't there Pages out there for the C64 and similiar online Projects?
They should work good with the Gameboy

Will buy one, have a GBC modded and it died a Week after.
Ordered a better Voltage Thingy and i am still waiting for the Repait...
Seems as the original GBC hardware isn't as good as the GB Hardware.
So i'll pick a modern Clone Device.

But you can play it with two Players on the Super Nintendo.

This is nor physical Media.
It is just your Download Key in that Chip.

@Daniel36

At least they sell Stuff at Gog, that makes it easier to preserve

When something is coming out for Smartphones, we should change the Term Game for Cashgrab XP

@ozyr

Well, on how the CEO is acting and how bad the Hardware is, it is deserved.

Nobody should spend Money on that Crapware.

At least the insane unprofessionel Stories behind it are entertaining.

@BloodNinja
It is a little Machine with a FPGA-Chip, that one can adopt the Logic of other Chips.
So the Hardware can "transform" into a SNES, Megadrive/Genesis, Neogeo et cetera and acts exactly as these.
So it has not the Issue Software Emulation has, but also not all the Advantages (save states).

@BloodNinja
Nowadays every medicore PC can run Machines up to the PS2 Era.

It would be much cheaper to connect a Laptop to the TV, pair it with a controller and play whatever you want.
To play original CDs and Dvds isn't a Problem, if your Lapto/PC has a Drive.
For Cartdridges you need something as the Retrode2.

Better, buy a small PC that can run also modern Games.
Win 10 and Steam Big Picture make it easy to control via Gamepad.
Play modern and old Games, more Value for your Money.

Edit:
And for a more original Experience, just the MISTer.
It is in the End cheaper as to buy any HD Clone Console, even if they are so sexy as the Analogue ones :>
More so if you have original Hardware and a good Upscaler.

The Hardware Components and the Limitations are Crap.
The Controllers are so damn limited in what they are capable at, there will be not much possible with them.

Also, many of the announced Games are playable on Smartphones.

Why should anybody spend Money on such a System.

Go buy a small PC, hook it up on the TV and have Fun.
Windows 10 and Steam Big Picture are making a Console out of any PC and you can play so much more.

Or stay with a Console.
As a Causal a used last Generation Console do what it should and the Games are cheap.

The Games i saw were awful and you can play most of them on you Smartphone or Browser.
I am not seeing any Value in that Machine.

Hmm well, more Options are welcome, but the stock Gameboy can be used with an AC-Adapter and there are not as many Games you'll face where you can't save, have a password or are as long as you can't stop after a few Minutes to swap out the Batteries.

I am using mine with rechargebles and when i have to recharge them, i put the other rechargebles in that i have here.

Now that it is Summer i'll use the Gameboy more on the Balcony, it is the only Console you can play in bright Daylight.

@echoplex

Yep, would have been nice to have another Castlevania in that Style.
Discovered Castlevania on the N64 last Year and it is a fun Game, it has sometimes a Resident Evil Vibe to it.

@Damo
Yep, i can see the Appeal that you don't need all the extra Thingies to make it work.
But than again, i can just use my Laptop via HDMI and my 8Bitdo Controller via Bluetooth :>

But well, i am just not the exact Audience.
I go full "original" or full emulation

They seem to fill a Nieshe* inbetween.

The Amount of Comments in the Internet shows that this Device is creating enough Interest and this alone will bring up enough Customers that will be totally happy with it.

If People will have Joy with the Machine and the Games, everything is ok

*I was too lazy to look up how to write Nieshe correctly, it is Nische in german.
Just to mess around Neesh, Neash, Kneesh, Nysh, Nühsch...

@Damo

Yeah, it won't be inexpansive if you start by Zero
But i bought the OSCC for 170€, a few years ago a Gamecube for 40€ a second Super Nintendo also for 40€ (without Cables) and a Megadrive for 80€(friggin modded).
I also have Cables from Retrogamingcables, they are good but also not Cheap.
But when i want to collect the real ones, i get the real Deal with it.
There are also People who still have their old Systems and don't have the need for a new one, they only need a Solution to Upscale it.

On the other Site, it is Emulation.
My PC from 2009 can emulate every System this System does.
So i could use it to play those Games.
Or hook up my Laptop.
Or a build a Raspberry.
There are Methods to use your Cartridges if you really want.
CDs are no Problem.

And Systems like those from Analogue or the MISTer offer non emulated Solutions.

So there are better or cheaper Solutions out there.

Ordered a Everdrive for my N64 a few Days ago when it was back in Stock and also Starfox Adventures.
Will play them Side by Side.
Both were on my List for a longer Time and now it is a bezzer Excuse to waste that Money

@Bunkerneath

Yeah, it is probably cheaper to buy the original Systems with a OSSC or to make a MISTer.
Or any halfway capable PC and set up Emulators and Steam Big Screen.

Would like to have one of these.

Somebody knows where to get it in Europe?

https://amigastore.eu/en/358-mist-14-midi-fpga-computer.html

That one hasn't SNES and Megadrive, what i mostly want

@p0cketpingp0ng

I mentioned it in the Context of ripping
Also what it does is the same as the Polymega or a Retron does with Cartdriges.
They load the rom and than play it on a their build in Emulator.

@BulbasaurusRex

Yes we have, first one with that Feature i've ever used was Bleem back than.
Viceversa many Emulators even mount Isos as a virtual Drive to play them.
Last Games i played from Disc through an Emulator on my PC were Tomb Rider (Dosbox) and Final Fantasy Anthology (Playstation).

If one should not support direct play though CD/DVD-Drives, it is legal in Europe to make yourself a Copy (Iso/Rom) and use it
Same with Cartridge Based Games with the mentioned Retrode2.

@Goat_FromBOTW

No, my PC is more than Powerful.

It is no Secret that N64 Emulation is just far away from perfect and miles away from running without to configurate it for certain Games.
The most popular Games will run fine, but even those have graphical issues (Mario Kart for example).
Try playing Body Harvest, it runs badly.

Edit:
Thats also why i am criticizing the Polymega, you'll have no Benefit from this Device, it runs a Emulator and will have the same Issues an Emulator on any other Device has.
Machines like those from Analogue or the Mister aren't emulating, so you have the Benefit of proper running Games.

They have to conince me to buy their Product, i am the Audience for that kind of classic Gaming Stuff.
But there is no Benefit from it.
I can emulate on other Systems, can play on original Hardware with my OSSC and 8Bitdo wireless Controllers, make it more comfortable with an Everdrive and change broken Drives with new ones or SD-Slot-Drives or buy something like the Mister/Analogue.

@Nintendemon
It will run as smooth as with the Polymega, both use Emulators to mimic the Hardware.
The Horsepower behind the Hardware is even on the cheapest Devices nowadays.
If the Program can handle the Architecture and Software of the Console, it will run on a Laptop, if not, it will also not run on the Polymega.
There are Reasons why there aren't replacement Consoles for the N64 or the original Xbox.

@Clyde_Radcliffe

Yes but this Device does not replace a Drive or a original Console, it is Emulation, so why not connect my Laptop via Cable to the TV and use my Bluetooth Controller ?
It would be the same but doesn't cost me so much.

If i want to play Games as original as it can be, i replace the Drive or buy a FPGA replacement Console.

@Clyde_Radcliffe

Via Emulation, so can every other open System
So why buy something expansive if you can use Devices you still have?
And Emulation for Certain Systems is still very bad, like the N64.

It is fully Emulation, reading Media is nothing special.
It is even better if you wouldn't use Discs (loading Times).

Edit:
And as i mentioned, you can use a Emulator and a CD-Drive and also use your original Media on other Systems.
With a Retrode2 you can use your Cartridges.

I don't know why even buy this System if it is Emulation.
Buy a Retrode2 to use your Cartridges or even extract the Roms with it and use Devices you still own.

There are other better Solutions to play your old Games and Systems on newer TVs.
Be it a Mister or a original System connected with a OSSC.
8Bitdo has wireless Solutions for many Systems.

Take a look at
dragonbox.de
retrogamingcables.uk
amigastore.eu

@aznable

Well, the first Discs will also start rotting in the next Decade.
So at least you will not see them die :>

I think for People who want to go on playing with the original Hardware those SD-Emulation Drives will be the Solution.

@aznable
Sad to hear it.

What killed them?
The Disk Drive or another Component?

@aznable
There are still Ways to play with the Dreamcast online

Have a japanese Dreamcast, so mine shouldn't have this Problem with "Collectors Items" lol

@doctorhino
I prefer it that way, i just use rechargable ones.
So it is easier to get new ones, not to forgett to have the easy way to change them.

It is kinda insane and that is why i want one
