I'm not sure if I'll be getting one of these or not but I am keeping an open mind about it till we see more info. Need to see the price too, hopefully they can get it low enough that they have a chance.

Some of those looks awesome, especially the 16bit games.

Looking forward to this news now.

Great that the time's almost here. Hoping for the best

There's a new twitter account for this, and they just announced that the price is going to be $150 and it will be FPGA based, now that's a good price!

I'm not 100% sure what FPGA is all about, but from what I've read it sounds like it's close to an emulator but it should be pretty much identical to the original hardware. If anyone around here knows more about this please chime in

Check this thread for more info on FPGA: FPGA Based Videogame System.

Thanks Trek

I'm reading that the twitter account I linked to above isn't an official account. I'm not sure where they are getting their info from, but I guess take it with a grain of salt until something more official get's announced.

Wow good price, and yeah its basically hardware emulation instead of software, meaning much closer results to the real hardware, looking forward to more details again.

Edit : that twitter account is fake, its still the retrovgs one, so i guess no price is announced yet.

Nice to see they have a working prototype!

TrekMD · February 13, 2016, 20:12:45 PM

Sure is!

zapiy · February 13, 2016, 23:07:18 PM

Cracking stuff from the team. They should be applauded.

Saturn · February 15, 2016, 18:33:53 PM

Nice video! The system looks like a lot of fun and tight as hell sitting in that clear protective case. I hope this is a reality soon so I can throw money at it. Love supporting this stuff! :111:
