  1. I don't understand the people who are being negative on this thread.  If nothing else, this would allow for easier development of homebrew games since you wouldn't have to custom burn EPROMS every time you make a change.  Keep in mind that it will allow you to boot any ROM from a floppy (or whatever Opcode decides to use as media.)

     

    Or maybe that's what people are worried about...that their rare cartridges will be devalued by the availability of using ROMs on real hardware.

    Who burns custom Eproms every time they want to test a change? People haven't needed to do that for years. I think most people write their games using emulators anyway.

    Not the point. If you are writing a game for a specific console, at some point you are going to have to test it on the real thing. There is no emulator that is so exact that it can 100% guarantee that there will be zero bugs when the game is put on a real system.

     

    If it makes you feel any better, think of this thing like a Cuttle Cart and forget the (cool) additional features.

  3. I'm VERY interested in this! Put me down for one!

     

    Why is this a "disaster waiting to happen"? Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's a failure! There are a lot of people interested in this, and I think it will help CV homebrew development, since you can play CV games off of floppy discs with it.

     

    Personally, I think it's a great idea.
