Will there be some sort of GUI if you power on without a cart? The retrousb AVS NES will have this, so curious.
I wonder if ethernet is still off the table? I still think it's a bad idea to not have some sort of patching available. Despite the reassurance from the original vision, there is NO WAY all games released will be bug free.
The QC team (which will be 1 or 2 guys?) can't verify everything. Take a game like Terraria, which could be put on a cart I assume, still gets patched today. Their bug topic alone has 6,500 posts.
If the idea is for the customer to send in their copy for a "fix", who will pay for returns? Mike and team? The game progammer/company? Surely not the consumer. It's lose/lose.
This should be avoided if taken seriously or if the board is already set, then go the Wii/WiiU route and have add-on USB ethernet available or something like that.
