@Razieluigi Apparently me saying it was vapor ware willed it's preorder back into existence. Apparently they're open now.

And you're not exactly Emulating on the pocket You kind of are but at a hardware level. I've never been good at explaining how FPGAs do these things.

@Razieluigi I had an akura for 5 minutes and returned it. It crops off some of the Dreamcast image, something cheap HDMI dongles don't do and something their Scart cable doesn't do.

The Behar Bros scart cable is called the Mamba if you're interested. But that depends on the Rabbit hole you're willing to go down.

@Razieluigi The people who want these things already have a means of hooking them up. The people who just go for a bad HDMI dongle are actually in the minority or people. They'll get them, see how terrible they are then look for something better and it's a whole rabbit hole.

Happened to a friend of mine who has 2 Retrotinks now and got a Mister after all I did was tell him collecting Super Famicom was pretty cheap.... then a beast was unleashed.

As much as I want these things...a good Mame install and a good arcade stick I can't really justify it.

Now the Sega cabs same thing but...they're also Sega cabs but the stick for them isn't being made anymore and very expensive so again I can't justify it when I can just boot up mame and Play using my custom Hori Alpha Green Goblin Tribute stick.

Currently seeding the archive and will probably do so for a few hours before I move it to my own archival hard drive for safe keeping for the day it needs to be reuploaded somewhere.

I seldom used it but when I did they were hacks I had the most fun with.

The Main reason I have Everdrives isn't to have EVERY GAME EVER but to play romhacks on real hardware.

True end of an Era. This is the darkest timeline.
