Andromeda Stardust Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Someone needs to find the mobo this comes from so we can get a new prototype. I mean, it's been about a day, so they're due for another. That photo was posted 5-and-a-half hours ago, give or take thirty minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StopDrop&Retro Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Does anyone know if any of the "clone" super nintendo systems use a board with an Atmel ARM The only stand alone clone SNES system I'm aware of is the GamerzTek one. All the others have Genesis or NES on the board too. What are you onto? You think he used one in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmiester Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 From my perspective everything lines up that they have a custom board but it doesn't work. So they pulled a switcheroo for the Toy Fair. Of course Mike didn't design the board, he never said he did. Problem is they've backed themselves into a corner by showing SNES era games at the Toy Fair. If they can't deliver the SNES FPGA or a custom architecture that can do that quality, they'll have to admit their deceit. My guess is the 'hardware guy' said he'd have that working by the 26th. Didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work out. Ive never designed something like this before, but would they not get it working on a standard development board first before making custom PCBs? I fell that they have not shown anything that would make me believe what they are saying is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StopDrop&Retro Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 no need dude, i looked it up it's not damn. Oh well, it does confirm my theory that had he used the GamerzTek clone he could have gotten away with his Toy Fair deception since it doesn't have the overhang of a real SNES. So he wouldn't have to make his electrical tape masterpiece, plus- it has an LED! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm pretty sure if "hardware guy" could be blamed, he'd have experienced the bus today. Which suggests that "hardware guy" doesn't exist, or is exempt from blame for some reason.

phoenixdownita Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Just noticed that their 3D renders call for 4 USB ports on the front, 2 on each Jag port, this new "proto" has only 2. Guess the remaining 2 will be added onto the next "proto" because .... you know you always start with NOT what you're gonna need then tack it shit as you go along hoping to make it to the end. Many of you would think this is minor but then again normally you would "proto" on your entire design not leaving too many pieces out ..... or maybe this is their way to "make it better" .... forget the 4 USB ports, RetroPlayers have hardly any friends, 2 ports are enough to remind them when they used to have some. EDIT: Maybe I am wrong, can't tell for sure. Edited February 27, 2016 by phoenixdownita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) they made sure to mention that one astroids clone game supported 4 players. yeah but before that they mentioned there would have been a KS today, a real proto at the fair and a mile high pile of other assorted bs.

phoenixdownita Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Triverse seems to be logged in I hope he is typing something EDIT: PikoInteractive also said there would be a blog 2.0 (https://pikointeractive.com/blog/) but for now nothing. To be fair he said after the KS, so it may be a while. EDIT2: thenavguy is online too, maybe he can share something new now that the KS is gone, hopefully the pressure is low enough. EDIT3: PikoInteractive is online as well, hopefully he can share something of his experience. Edited February 27, 2016 by phoenixdownita 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Looks like Mike is so cheap, he only "paid" for a one page spread in the very back page of his most recent issue. So... how are they going to retcon that? Electrical tape or Magic Marker? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy-beamish Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Looking forward to what Triverse has to say. Sounds like it will be fairly damning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their main page still cites the KS to this day in the second of the rotating images .... maybe they threw the web guy under the bus this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
