godslabrat Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It was always software emulation. The fpga chip was for the custom circuits to support cartridges directly i.e. "hybrid emulation". Doesn't really matter for cd-rom based systems. They originally promised Super Gameboy compatibility. That is, and always has been, beyond the means of what software emulation can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Except in the theoretical case of software emulation with "hybrid emulation". Well, if that's the case, I'm waiting on "pizza emulation", wherein my console comes with take out. So long as we're making stuff up, I'm going nuts.

mr_me Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Seriously, you can emulate the super gameboy cartridge in software and hook it up to a gameboy cartridge dumper. Edited June 4, 2019 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Latest reports are reading light gun support. I do admit that is one gap that has yet to be filled by anyone, so if they've got something, more power to them. It's more than likely just the Hyperkin light gun for HDTVs. Nobody can have an original thought (in this case, a community member hacking the ROM to wait for the LCD to catch up) without it being ripped off by hardware companies. They're such vultures. https://www.neowin.net/news/hands-on-with-hyperkins-nes-light-gun-for-lcds-and-raspberry-pi-diy-snes-kit/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 So these jokers and Atari SA are "supposed to be at E3". Maybe they will have a meeting of the masterminds of vaporware or of crap that does not solve problems in the market or fill a need. Could be interesting or just more taco posts and memes.I picture them at E3 trying to get a crowd and failing... because on center stage there is a comeback Mike Kennedy hired by Steam to promote PC gaming and making a killing. That's a movie I'd pay to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 That guy has more of a face for radio. The podcast he was on is still going as far as I know, and last I checked, regularly runs 5 hours per episode. Lots and lots of boring yammering but some people seem to like it. "Retro gaming radio" is the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 That sounds horrible. I'll let you be the judge ... I got the name wrong, it's actually called "retrogaming roundup" http://www.retrogamingroundup.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I have absolutely no idea what you might mean by that. Is that an LCD light-gun for the Polymega? ... playing Virtua Cop with it should be sweet (if it works with minimum lag that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoppelganger Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 E3 seems to have gone well for Polymega. I like the light gun design. To me the orange version looks camouflaged - quite cool really! I want one! Before E3though, they said on Twitter that they had "huge announcements" at E3. The gun was announced before E3 - was that the "huge announcements" or have I missed something ? Also on Twitter, they were asked if they would be announcing new modules at E3 - they said yes. They've shown the 4 we knew about - where are the new ones ? It's looking promising but I've wanted to be fair on these points and wait till E3 was over before posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageGamer74 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Cool that they actually showed something but with so many options out there. I don't see this being anything more than a niche system. The VCS has 11,00+ backers and I can't see this having even half of that. Is the Dreamcade still around? I'm thinking so but it didn't become a break out selling system? Unless I'm wrong? Not ripping. Just how I see it. Good luck to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_convoy Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Dreamcade are claiming that they will go back to selling their thing around... I forget... Christmas? But it was just a Windows 10 box with a shitty front end, so it wasn't ever going to do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Polymega interpret wrongly. Not sure I spose, but that's the question and answer ........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Pat and Ian suggested that you may just need to divorce your feelings about the unit from your opinion on the company's behavior. I suppose there is some wisdom in that, but as I'm not overly impressed with either, it hasn't been an issue yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have they expressed that ? This forum however is not for opinions on each other - it's about our common interests. I've reported the post on the basis on Pat and Ian's behaviour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
