Flojomojo Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Oh really? I guess I slept through it, or it lacked the drama of the Wyatt-Atari or Feargal-Atari splits. Are you referring to Wyatt on the patent application, or something/someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The whole reason there's no more hybrid emulation is that what's his name got canned. It's been quite a while but it happened. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageGamer74 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I was on there website the other day and I can't believe they want people to pluck down $650 for their "ultimate bundle". Yet they don't even have production models!?!?? I do feel bad for those who trusted them and who apparently got duped but I'm glad I didn't place a preorder. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atm94404 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Over a month since Playmaji's last Twitter post and a couple weeks since their last reply to queries for an update. Even then, all they promised was "we're working on an update". I don't know what more proof people need to see this thing is not coming out anytime soon. Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday would be the time for a company to make a play for disposable income if they had any chance of delivering something in the next few months. They're still accepting pre-orders, so the fact they didn't even try to grab people's attentions when holiday shoppers at their most susceptible with their money says a great deal about Playmaji's lack of confidence in the Polymega shipping in the near future. Maybe they'll claim that "April 1st, 2019" was a typo and they always meant 2020. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Maybe we should just sit back and play with our emulators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Compatibility list actually seems pretty good, if true. Polymega™-CD-Game-Compatibility-Report-120119.pdf I would have been all over this 10 years ago... but yet another emulator? I don't really need them (or original disc media) for that.

enoofu Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I have serious doubts that they could have emulated those mainly games without the original system bios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_convoy Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I like that a third of the update is devoted to loading patches and saving patched game states. Congratulations! You've unlocked something in two or three years that my frigging Retron 5 can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compatibility is about what I would expect from an emu box. Good, but not impressive. Neither is patching or filters. The light gun is a good feature but not a system seller. The only thing that really gets my attention is the proposed 90 day shipping Window. If they're really committing to having these in the mail by the end of February, then there isn't much more wiggle room. It would mean Poly is actually production ready. If you paid $400 for this thing, I hope you get it and it was worth it. I am really curious to see how many people jump on this after launch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Since http://furrtek.free.fr/sdloader/ is almost ready, I think one of the big attractions (for me at least) kind of vanishes. I just don't see me spending 400US$ for an emu box, also it seems they put a lot of emphasis on PS1 and Saturn (that gives them a very long list of games to show of in the compatibility list) .... which is great in a way and not so interesting in another (again for me).

godslabrat Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 What's-his-name at Polymega Power Nintendolife wrote yet another fluff piece about the Polymega. At this point, he and Bryan have GOT to be buddies or something. I'm hesitating to suggest that Nlife might stand to profit directly from the success of Polymega, but after the console is released, I would be very interested to see how actively the site covers it and if the advertising partner Gamer Network finds a way to make some coin off it. Anyway... Given that the included ROMs appear to be whatever the team could license extremely cheaply, I'm really curious to see what's in the online store. On a Venn diagram, it'll be the intersection of "Interested in paying lawyers to draw up contracts for an install base of less than 3,000 units" and "Decades-old game company still alive and kicking". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If ye olde ROMz can be monetized on the bespoke, single-purpose Polymeatamegablox, they could also be packaged and sold on truly mass market stores, like Steam and GOG. I wonder how the Neo Geo games "out there" are selling? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Being able play my real Japanese Saturn games with English patches is the biggest deal for me. I have no interest in running CDRs of my real software and want to play the actual disc so this system is ideal for me assuming they can get really good Saturn capability. If the reviews for the system are good and the support for updates is good then I will most likely pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5200Fanatic Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 If this was FPGA driven, kinda like a Mister on steroids with the ability to read original carts or disks, it could have been great IMHO, but emulation had turned me off.

Flojomojo Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yeah, I like those too. I was actually thinking of the PC versions on Steam and GOG, where they're often bundled and put on deep discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
