If that was an undumped unreleased game it seems like quite a good deal for todays market.

I hope he and Fonzie meet up

@WhensDinner the ultimate mister pi kit from taki that contains everything is 180usd. It's a great deal.

@WhensDinner what kind of bespoke parts do you mean? The mister io boards and cases are pretty standard and generally available. And if you still have to start buy a bundle from taki's mister pi and you're done.

Whatever your stance on digital vs physical it seems a bit weird to devote a lengthy newsarticle to a shady key site's social media advertisement post

I'm always surprised to see people make these long lists, personally I could probably make a top 3 but beyond that I have trouble ordering 30 or more games in any consistent manner.

So it's an emulation handheld and not a clone.

Asking a one-time fee and promising unending support until the end of times will turn out to be unsustainable at some point in the future.

What is the big white/gray bar at the top of the screen anyway? And in some cases a small one at the bottom too.

@JJtheTexan it won't be the same, the whole point of the exa releases is that they offer "something" to differentiate it from the home release. What the specific thing is that differentiates it for this title might or might not be something you care about, but we'll have to wait for the details for that.

Even with easier to hear voices i still don't know what half of them say.
Judging from other exa kits this version will set you back at least 4k+ if you get the software kit and the custom PC mainboard to play it on. On the plusside it's not from limitedrun! So that makes it quite appealing too.

I'm unlikely to ever want to play these but "for sake of preservation" this is pretty cool.
Also refreshing to see a link to a bluesky post instead of the typical links to Elon's cesspool.

Am i correct in assuming this display will be superior over analogue pocket ans funnyplaying etc in direct sunlight?

I sortof get the sentiment. On the other hand, he was an employee who worked on a product almost 3 decades ago, was paid his wages and moved on. That should be it, there is no obligation whatsoever to involve employees from 30 years ago on whatever projects you pick up nowadays.

@Athropos There is a massive difference between using a 30 year old superfx chip developed during snes's lifetime and using an FPGA powered solution using 2024 technology and tooling. Maybe not to you, but to me there is.

I notice my enthusiasm for these "new" retro games fading away rapidly when seeing they use all kinds of modern enhancements chips, fpga's, more memory etc etc. Personally i don't consider this a proper SNES game this way.

It looks amazing, but sad to see they send their stuff to "streamers" and "content creators" first before the plebs are allowed to have a go. Maybe that's how things work in 2024 but I'm not sure that's something I can get behind.
