Sounds like a great product they are producing. I got the RGL Speccy last Xmas, and only used it a few times. I did notice my MiSTer does the Speccy NEXT, so I will prob pass on this most awesome project.
@MegaManFan Thanks for that. I installed Arch and got it running normally. but it skips the Intro on the Mister core, but it may be runnable in a few weeks on there. I did resist the Everdrive cart as it will not work they say.
I never bought a game to keep it in the cellophane. So this might be the motivation I need to play the Switch again. I have made a few purchases in the past few years where I never played them yet. I mainly enjoy the orig hardware or the MiSTer, the older games are more fun I guess than modern stuff for me anyhow.
Would be nice to get the keyboard for the Unit I ordered in February. So far it has not been advertised separately. There was an opportunity for existing KB owners to send them in for an update, so i wonder what function I will miss out on when I get mine in Dec or whenever.
I watched the Youtube documentaries on their poor behaviour, thankfully I have never felt the need to purchase their collectors edition of anything. There is too much form on this company cutting corners, the CEO/COO/CFO are a bunch of narcissists, pity the staff who work there, making games or whatever they do, doesn't sound fun with a tool of CEO.
The Konami one that released about 4yrs ago, would be a better proposition, but it's out of production. It has built in games only, but unless you own a lot of HuCards and no console (unlikely) why would you want to build a collection to play on this?
The translators should setup a Patreon site to get some donations if people like their work, as the MiSTer creators do. Eventually everyone enjoys it, even those who don't pay. These guys have found a niche market making physical carts for Retro consoles, pity they have not paid attention to the person doing the translation, who has taken someone else's effort and slightly modified it. I guess my favourite is Panel Du Pon, on the SNES, even the NSO version is still in Japanese. Some of the comments by the PdP characters are a bit strong.
I have played with the MiSTer Core, people say it's not developed, but it seems to work on many titles, and you can run it on an RGB CRT monitor. I would possibly be interested in the new release, but if it's crazy expensive, then I would probably let it pass. I did 3D print a case, with a view to putting a Pi3B in it, but I haven't got there yet.
Sounds about as honest as everything else that has preceded it. I still cannot believe anyone would have willingly given money to these scammers, you just look at them and you know they are not serious people except in taking your money.
These guys are blatant scammers. Why did they ask for 3pounds of money and take 400pounds? Because they are in it to make a much money as possible without doing anything. Just buy a MiSTer or MisterPi and get most of the features and still have some money left over.
Good to see this project has gone from DOA to a case redesign in 24hrs. Now it kinda looks like Vader's voice amplifier, or a giant harmonica (take yr pick!) Seriously, this is not going into production soon, if ever.......
@notreallyhere TRUE. Plenty of bad stuff going down In Alice. We have some nice old forests down south towards Albany, the timber has been exploited for decades, but still some big trees exist. I think I tried Daytona USA a few times, those types of games don't really interest me now. The Retro Arcade games, like Galaga, Pacman, Joust, Robotron and Tetris keep me enthralled for my fun, spend more time reading about games now than playing them.
@notreallyhere We got a healthy black market economy in WA, plenty of tradies doing well, and like to buy some drugs on the side. The mining of Iron Ore and Natural Gas, Gold, makes WA quite a bit better off than the east coast. Anyone coping the Yanks would likely be the younger Tik-Tok generation, the rest of us oldies barely can understand what they are talking about...
Hey I live in Landsdale WA, this is no real surprise. There are a lot of bikies in the suburb, so drugs is often traded for cash. I wonder if my wife would let me take this off their hands, without the cash inside, presumably. We had a few murders as well, this is what you get when society deterioriates.
I see that Aliexpress has a cheap version and a more expensive version of the cartridge, complete with dip switches. I think it's just an FPGA chip inside the cartridge. I recommend buying the NES WC switch version with the gold Cartridge and repurpose that into a cartridge. Or just buy the one at Auction.......

Re: Here's Your Chance To Own One Of The Rarest Consoles Ever Made
VGE puts out some seriously good content, so I am glad to hear he is expanding the studio. I do enjoy the obscure retro and the FPGA content the most.
Re: Got A Spare 3 Hours? This Brand-New 'Syndicate' Documentary Is Well Worth A Watch
I loved this game on the PC in 1993. Will try and check out the Documentary, the history of it will be interesting.

Re: "Missing" Genesis Beat 'Em Up Paprium Is Finally Playable Under Emulation
It runs on the MiSTer Megadrive Core. But not fully. The graphics seem different than the Retroarch Core.

The Ron Jeremy of Video games is back. If anyone gets scammed again, then you gotta wonder if you have a logic issue.
