I bought the Mega Retron HD and realized the limits of a cloned MD. I threw on a Madden or Montana football game and had it play itself in an exhibition game. It kept getting slower and slower till it was unbearable.
The dev mentioned that he needs a new publisher who can produce 1,000 cartridges. Without MegaCat or Broke Studios, there may not be any reputable companies left that can work at that scale. He also provided procedures for requesting refunds, and with a thousand outstanding orders to fill, I think the dev is hoping for a lot of cancellations to lighten the load.
He also mentioned self-publishing as a possibility, but I wouldn't bet on that happening.
