The Konami one that released about 4yrs ago, would be a better proposition, but it's out of production. It has built in games only, but unless you own a lot of HuCards and no console (unlikely) why would you want to build a collection to play on this?
The translators should setup a Patreon site to get some donations if people like their work, as the MiSTer creators do. Eventually everyone enjoys it, even those who don't pay. These guys have found a niche market making physical carts for Retro consoles, pity they have not paid attention to the person doing the translation, who has taken someone else's effort and slightly modified it. I guess my favourite is Panel Du Pon, on the SNES, even the NSO version is still in Japanese. Some of the comments by the PdP characters are a bit strong.
I have played with the MiSTer Core, people say it's not developed, but it seems to work on many titles, and you can run it on an RGB CRT monitor. I would possibly be interested in the new release, but if it's crazy expensive, then I would probably let it pass. I did 3D print a case, with a view to putting a Pi3B in it, but I haven't got there yet.
Sounds about as honest as everything else that has preceded it. I still cannot believe anyone would have willingly given money to these scammers, you just look at them and you know they are not serious people except in taking your money.
These guys are blatant scammers. Why did they ask for 3pounds of money and take 400pounds? Because they are in it to make a much money as possible without doing anything. Just buy a MiSTer or MisterPi and get most of the features and still have some money left over.
Good to see this project has gone from DOA to a case redesign in 24hrs. Now it kinda looks like Vader's voice amplifier, or a giant harmonica (take yr pick!) Seriously, this is not going into production soon, if ever.......
@notreallyhere TRUE. Plenty of bad stuff going down In Alice. We have some nice old forests down south towards Albany, the timber has been exploited for decades, but still some big trees exist. I think I tried Daytona USA a few times, those types of games don't really interest me now. The Retro Arcade games, like Galaga, Pacman, Joust, Robotron and Tetris keep me enthralled for my fun, spend more time reading about games now than playing them.
@notreallyhere We got a healthy black market economy in WA, plenty of tradies doing well, and like to buy some drugs on the side. The mining of Iron Ore and Natural Gas, Gold, makes WA quite a bit better off than the east coast. Anyone coping the Yanks would likely be the younger Tik-Tok generation, the rest of us oldies barely can understand what they are talking about...
Hey I live in Landsdale WA, this is no real surprise. There are a lot of bikies in the suburb, so drugs is often traded for cash. I wonder if my wife would let me take this off their hands, without the cash inside, presumably. We had a few murders as well, this is what you get when society deterioriates.
I see that Aliexpress has a cheap version and a more expensive version of the cartridge, complete with dip switches. I think it's just an FPGA chip inside the cartridge. I recommend buying the NES WC switch version with the gold Cartridge and repurpose that into a cartridge. Or just buy the one at Auction.......

The Ron Jeremy of Video games is back. If anyone gets scammed again, then you gotta wonder if you have a logic issue.
