@OnlyItsMeReid Maybe but there are ways around it. Like happens with Analogue systems. The real reason they don't want roms is that they want to make it a genuine storefront for buying old games. If people just download ROMs, it would defeat the purpose of the storefront
@lillith Your alternatives to the Poly Mega are not really good enough in my opinion and would be just as expensive if not more expensive anyway.That kind of traditional emulation on PC or retro pi introduces all sorts problems including lag both by the system and controller lag since PC's etc don't have ports to support retro controllers. Yes, it's disappointing that the PolyMega won't be using FPGA's from the outset but a purpose-built system will likely perform better and will have other benefits not found on other systems. I think its way to early to judge. Lag tests need to be done before anything.
