    Hey, buddy, you better watch that sarcasm.

    I'm sure they're still getting some orders, but I strongly suspect that new orders are now outpaced by refund requests. Polymega is *out* of time.

    LEDs, maaaaannnnn.... LEDs are everything !!!!

    I'm really glad to hear that. Sorry it had to come to this.

    I understand Atari wants to be rid of this dumpster fire as quickly as possible.

    Switch is doing fine. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=np5JADbSn1o

    It's cute that you think there will ever be another release of this potato
  8. godslabrat
    Not really the thread to discuss that.

    Taking pre-orders while being nowhere near ready for production is crowdfunding as far as I'm concerned.
  10. godslabrat
    If nothing else, both the Amico and the VCS can be excellent example of why crowdfunding to launch a video game console is a terrible idea. Not sure why we needed to learn this lesson yet again, but here we be.

    You know, it's been a while since I heard someone say retroblox "Just needed to get better at communicating."

    The Switch has taken its place as the best console I've ever had. One system gets you access to something good from nearly every console ever made.

    Looks like Walmart took matters into their own hands. They canceled all probably mega orders, refunded, and remove the poly make up from their site..

    Yeah, plex is built around the idea of a home media server. That's not bad in itself, but it's bizarre to think that 1) someone who could build a home server couldn't manage an emulator and 2) I'd pay them a monthly fee to use my own computer and my own roms.
  15. godslabrat
    Well, to be fair... the Polymega is aiming to play games people actually care about. I think that's why P&I gave it a pass for so long.
  16. godslabrat
    Oh good, I really needed another way to play the Atari 100 pack, AND pay a monthly fee for the privilege.

    Of course a frontline agent knows nothing. Not only are they usually the last to know about such developments in their own company, there's no way they'd have insider info on what's going on with an outside company. That said, if you think it's in your best interest to keep your pre-order, wal-mart is your best bet. If this project goes south, you can count on Wal-mart to give you a refund.

    Well, it isn't like l'Atari has been honest about... ANYTHING throughout this whole ordeal. "Conspiracy" might not be the best word, but they've been actively covering up a lot of their own ineptness.

    TLDR: Polymega is asking exisiting pre-order customers to cancel Walmart orders and re-order Polymega directly through them. This includes a price hike of $50 and no clear benefit to the consumer. I agree with Cosmic Owl... Polymega likely NEEDS the money to fund the production and has no way to get it otherwise. I suppose the Angel Investors, assuming they ever existed, have decided not to foot the bill anymore. It seems like a REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA to be encouraging customers to not use the retailer of their choice, especially when being on Walmart.com was a source of bragging rights for Polymega for so long. Also, as a rule, small businesses shouldn't try to pick fights with Wal-Mart. The chances of it ending well for them are very not good.

    The Retrofreak was able to store games on an SD card and play them right out of the box. The R5 could sort of do the same thing, if you loaded the ROM as a save file while playing another game. This all came about because Hyperkin had needless paranoia about getting sued by Nintendo for selling an emubox (which is perfectly legal). Of course, when the system was first released, the emulators weren't properly licensed (which is not at all legal). In more ways than one, corners were cut on this machine because Hyperkin was worried about the wrong problem. I'm just mildly curious to see if they'd take the obvious opportunity to release a better system. I'm sure I'll be disappointed.
  21. godslabrat
    Nope. I mean, I haven't seen any specs, but it's built to be a software emulation machine, so it can't work with Everdrives. It's possible, but unlikely, that the SD card could be used to load roms directly, eliminating the need for an ever drive.

    Just saw this. The Retron 5 might have been hot when it came out, but it's a tough sell in 2021. Would be really curious to know if they did more than change the color scheme and add a wired controller. Personally, I think they should have cut the wireless controller entirely and tried to rebrand it as a budget system

    "Please don't use this extremely common, advertised feature because you might screw your entire system." I guess that's where the "play and stream like never before" came from.... because it's true, I've never heard that before.
  24. godslabrat
    Cart port, but latest firmware
  25. godslabrat
    What's the current compatibility with games from the AA store?
