No kidding. feel free to go berserk though and add a trak-ball to the setup!
Ditto this! :-) My ideal 5200 controller would be a dual stick setup with a trackball. Never have to swap out controllers again or bother with the dual joystick connector for games like Space Dungeion.

I will know a whole lot more after Christmas (as my 9 year old daughter really really wanted into this thing, Star Wars playsets/characters) but my understanding is this:
There are two 'worlds' in the video game one can 'play' in. One is the 'toy box' mode which is something akin to Minecraft where one can build stuff and use characters to romp around in it. The second is something like a 'story' mode, where one purchase 'playsets' that set forth a world that one uses characters to accomplish the goals of the the particular playset. The figures each have some kind of NFC chip in them that, when placed upon the 'game platform' appear within the game (either mode) with whatever special characteristics that happen to have been programmed into the chip.
This is my rough understanding of it. I've read up on it plenty but still a little bit fuzzy on the whole thing. All I know is that after my daughter saw the Star Wars starter set in a You Tube unboxing video, she's been craving it. She's already done the Lego Star Wars thing and has at least tried KotoR on the Xbox (but still a little young to fully undertand the best way to work on getting light side points rather than dark side points) but this Inifintiy 3.0 thing seems to be right in her wheel house.

I Recieved mine and it was in perfect shape. The only unfortunate thing is that is won't be until after the holidays that I'll be able to approach building this out. Looking forward to it though! Thanks again for this ! 😄

Great news, new jag carts make me excited! What's going on in the ST thread? It won't load and keeps crashing on my iPad.
I had the same issue with my iPad Air 1, memory issues I suspect. Other embedded media intense sites /pages will do this as well, CNN being a notorious site for this behavior.

Took of advantage of this this morning - part of my daughter's Xmas is the new Disney Infinity Star Wars stuff - picked up the 'Rise Against the Empire' play set for 21.59 (reg. 35.99) with purchase of the Starter Set.

Wallet open and ready, just give the word! Really looking forward to this!

I'm in for one as well!

I've seen these and the Genesis products at Walgreens for $39. I figure I will wait until they hit at least $29.

Wallet open, standing by.....

If you are familiar and comfortable with Linux, then you should be able to find which ever means best fits your situation to get you own ROMs on to it.So I can connect to the internet and retrieve ROMs. This is nice, but I'd rather just add ROMs with a USB key, if I can. I don't know anything about the RetroPi, I must admit.

(While what I initially wrote is true, check out the PDF in the OP. Looks like you should be all set.)

Has there been any news on their virtual (?, not sure that's the correct term) products?

OK, found what I was looking for: But they seem to be in hidden folders, maybe? (I'm using WinSCP to transfer files and I found them by doing a search in WinSCP for *.xml files...then looking for gamelist.xml files. Then clicking on "Focus" to get to it in the WinSCP browser.) Anyway, the locations for the relevant folders are:
gamelists: /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/ (then it's by system)
scraped images: /home/pi/emulationstation/downloaded_images/ (again, by system)
The trouble was that when I looked in /home/pi/ there was no ".emulationstation" folder, so maybe it's hidden normally - that dot before the name probably means something. Like I said, I used WinSCP to find it, named my images, dropped them into the downloaded_images folder for the system I was working on, then added entries to the gamelist.xml file (typing carefully), and saved everything...worked!
You are correct; the leading dot (.) indicates a hidden file/directory.

I've had my copy since Monday and have played it everynight this week. Been loving it; awesome job!

I have a NIB, sealed Ballblazer I would gladly contribute (for the POKEY) to finally get this on cart. This looks and sounds fantastic!
