cybercylon Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Between the copies of Retro and boxes of Retro-Bit Generations, he probably has enough to prop up his house's foundation for the next earthquake. Empty, hollow things to build a foundation on. (for the retro-bit, I referring to the fact that the console is mostly empty space). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnaRyuu Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Personally i feel that RetroBit Generations is a flimsy piece of kit. The plastic is kind like that cheap plastic that bootleg action figures are made from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toiletunes Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Seriously, if the Retrobit has a lousy case, it does not bode well. After all, the case is half of the work, right? I bet that thing won't even run nice and cool without a fan! Of course, the REAL problem is cartridges. How do they expect to corner the market? Hardly entrepreneurs through and through. They should have delayed it to make it even better... Edited November 21, 2016 by toiletunes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Retro-Bit has much more to show and prove. Seriously, if the Retrobit has a lousy case, it does not bode well.

Andromeda Stardust Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Apparently the Japanese Hacker, was able to tap into the Famicom Mini's system and actually put in a prototype linux front end of his own making. I know it isn't an out right "hey I hacked this and added a shit ton more games" but it opens the door for stuff on both Mini systemsUnrelated, but I have heard through an anonomous but reputable source, a backdoor solution is being created for the loading of external ROMs through the SD card port on the Retrobit Generations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The emulation appears 10 years behind what we have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yeah, we have very good emulation, USB controls, and HDMI AV in the Raspberry Pi at half the price of this thing, no back door shenanigans required. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Trilobites are fossils... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilobite I know that. I had no idea why that combination came to mind, but then I remembered that Telstar was that line of Pong systems Coleco made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 While looking at the coleco domain registration it offered up an interesting premium alternative I had to load this up on my PC screen to read it ... and now I see that it did not say what I thought it was saying while I squinted at it from my phone. $3800 would certainly help Mike's finances, but it would also make him unlearn the lesson of Chameleon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, except I wouldn't go so far as to imply that Mike actually learned any lessons from the Chameleon project. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
