I'd still buy it. In a heartbeat.

Not to derail this further, but this is true, while I think opcode's is ideal but not quite accurate. I don't see a crash on the proportions stated, and I do see a real need to have an open gaming system that is *free to try*, but not necessarily 100% free to pay. I doubt very many games will do in-app purchases as their primary source of income. The alternatives are demos. Even though right now "free to win" is a successful strategy, it doesn't work, I think, in the long run, so the Ouya is pushing other strategies out there, and believe it or not, it's not just about smart phone games. I know several developers (some impersonally) and have heard of even greater things, and basically I am happy to see an open platform which encourages small indie titles, because personally I don't care for the pomp and circumstance which accompanies Call of Duty 5. Instead, I prefer the simpler format of VVVVVV. While the latter may not be possible on the CV2 (at least in its current form, but hey, maybe it can), I would much prefer it on an open platform than on a DRM-pushing service like Steam. That's my main draw to the Ouya and why I kickstarted it: DRM-free indie platformers.

We just need to advertise it better. Tomorrow I'll spread word to various forums I frequent, if opcode so wishes.

I'd love to see more third-party support, heck, I'd love to see a publisher with real carts too like what AtariAge does. But I still don't see how it can compete with the Ouya, unless you mean that a port of Manbow 2 would otherwise end up there.

Is it such a bad thing? If this can play CV and CV2 (or Super CV, or whatever else it will be called, though personally something more exciting and less similar to existing consoles [so no 2, no Super, no Mega, no 16 {since it will be 16 bit}]) games, why wouldn't we drop the old for the new? So long as it has perfect compatibility, there won't be a reason for the old CV. Now, if compatibility isn't perfect, then I cannot imagine the CV ever going away. This is why I have a Power Base Converter for my Genesis, but I have a PlayStation and a PS2 still.

I didn't know anyone modded the 7800. I'm definitely going to get this done! You'll get a PM soon!
