I'll never understand how people pay ridiculous amounts of money for these types of systems, that will surely be outdated inside 3 - 4 years, but worse yet, could have bought original hardware for less, and it would actually increase in value over time, unlike............. this thing. The pricing for this thing, isn't just idiotic. It's grotesque.
Polymega is a badass machine, i feel like people tried to bag on it. But after seeing what Analogue is doing i feel its realized this system has a great interface.
I know that MLP is just putting this out there butt... It's difficult to imagine what the person who would do this would be like. You bought a Polymega because you wanted to use your original cartridges and Disks but then you said screw it and started buying these things.
@@BenIsaacs-p4v Yeah. But why. At that point, it's kinda just a toy. Just load all the ROMs you want to have from a complete set and be done with it. But whatever. To each their own. Polymega is a cumbersome and expensive way of doing less and worse emulation. But if that's what people want, they definitely have the right to pay up front and wait 2 years to get their console.
Also, speaking of loading one game at a time and the wait time for each, as someone who owned the old Genesis (Super Magic Drive), SNES (Super Magicom/Pro Fighter X/Super Wild Card DX), N64 (Doctor V64), and many GB/GBA/DS copiers, I can appreciate how cool this is. Kids today, with their Blueberry Pies and their Mr Misters, just can't comprehend what it was like back in our day! 😁
As a Polymega owner I was considering doing this. But buying all the parts needed is CRAZY expensive. Seems the Polymega has become the expensive investment that just keeps getting more expensive. Yeeesh!!!
I am interested in the Polymega but with the price I really can't justify the purchase. Another thing that I can't justify with the purchase is the console coming with the Pentium Celeron processors. Watching your video before you changed the processor was a bad experience that isn't justifiable.
I was just gutted after checking out their website incl postage of over $200USD from Chyna, it would cost be over $2000UAD in Australia. Yeah but Nah.....
@@Shawnsteroz I can understand that. I live in the USA and it cost $549.00 for base model and the Deluxe model cost 799.00 in US currency and not to mention taxes and shipping. You can build a gaming PC that you can emulate with for a lot cheaper with better specs then the Polymega.
So wait: the Polymega is a very expensive and underpowered PC with interchangeable cartridge readers , and now, we also can load roms on it.... YEAH! I think I get do that on my own PC too....
OK, I see what you meant when you said on Twitter it was a lot of work. All the same, thanks for posting the video. I think I'll just wait until someone does a system hack so that the SD card slot works.
Hey, love the channel. Appreciate the content. I think I've watched this video 5 or 6 times now. I have the polymega with all the modules and the retro blaster 2 kit as well as the retro blaster mini kit. With mine, I absolutely cannot get the polymega to recognize the 64 blaster cart. I was thinking it might be a firmware revision issue. I even paused the video repeatedly trying to look at the revision of the 64 blaster cart and it appears we have the exact same one. Just could not get it to work. Works all day long on the actual n64 but nothing on the polymega. The cart only ever shows up as "Game Media" and then when you try to play it, it goes to a black screen. Very sad result on my end, but glad to see you got it running.
Polymega is as most expensive as NEOGEO 30 years back. It's a rolls royce console i agree wuth that, but you can have same quality with a simple NGASP for 120$ ... and for 15 differentes retro console !! Retroarch power :)
Just curious to know if you connect the retro blaster to the system via USB, would it act as a module or would you still need the respective poly mega module for said system?
Nice that it works, but it seems like you'd get burned out on doing this by about game ten. Also, do Everdrive carts work if you set them up to show as the last game loaded into the carts onboard ROM? I used to get Game Genie and AVS cheats working on the N8 by setting it to work as a standalone NES cart based on the last game played. This might also be an option here.
I install all the TG16 and PCEngine Hucards. One at time with a card that has the connector already on it for usb to your pc via a USB B. Working on Disc Roms Now. I've bought few titles but honestly the prices for NEC games really are up there.
Wait until they make you pay for those ROMs if and when the online shop ever opens. Honestly, I'd rather they curate indie titles like Sydney Hunter to sell on the shop and other modern games with a retro aesthetic like Mega Man 10/11 etc.
Well, I don't really get it. You buy an Emulation machine to play your original carts and then you buy this to play Roms. I would say rather buying either an Analogue device for a full blown Emulation machine does everything better. I have both to have the best experience on my original games with an FPGA Device and a much more powerful mini PC for all the emulation stuff. I think this one covers an extreme niche between both.
I really don’t get why these clone systems are popular. At this point you might as well just emulate on a pc. Stick all your Roms on an external HD and you basically have a physical copy of all your games. I’ve started going full emulation for all systems before ps3/360.
This looks like a pain. For Polymega to gain any traction in the market someone will have to jailbreak it to work with everdrive carts. Not a big enough market for pure media collectors. I have a huge cart library for most systems and would still rather use an Everdrive most of the time.

If you're using ROMs, it's way easier and cheaper to just buy a mini PC.
It's nice to have the option of being able to do both and it answers the question of whether or not it can😂
Sure but there might be a few physical releases you just can’t buy so you use this alongside your physical collection.

Lol I agree with you 100% the blueberry pie made me giggle thanks buddy

I watched this video got all the stuff you showed off and it works amazing thanks for this video man!!!
This looks like a lot of work for emulation of old retro games … interesting regardless

If you don't care about carts and CDs, just get yourself a MiSTer setup or use free emulation on PC or just about any other device on the planet.
So wait: the Polymega is a very expensive and underpowered PC with interchangeable cartridge readers , and now, we also can load roms on it.... YEAH!
I think I get do that on my own PC too....
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated. Take care.

Someone needs to invent a retroarch machine or something. 1 box to play all games. Easy and nice User Interface. Simple. It would make money.
I wanna get these but they're always sold out.
They need to make a mini model.
Juato esto estaba esperando. Vamos por la retro blaster para ma polymega. Saludos desde Chile.

Wish they was on Amazon
This reminds me of the old days of EPROM programmers and rewritable carts…before the days of everdrives!
Reminds me of the days of liksang dot dom.... 😝
Just curious to know if you connect the retro blaster to the system via USB, would it act as a module or would you still need the respective poly mega module for said system?
I would get one if it wasn't worth more than a brand new PS5 lmao

I heard of these from John Riggs. They're not cheap.
This is an extremely costly method to play ROMs. This is cool if you already have all the necessary items on hand laying around your house.
Wait until they make you pay for those ROMs if and when the online shop ever opens.
Honestly, I'd rather they curate indie titles like Sydney Hunter to sell on the shop and other modern games with a retro aesthetic like Mega Man 10/11 etc.
How do you get the polymega controller d-pad working? Mine was working at 1st but I might of did something in the settings for it to stop.
Has the Polymega not been hacked to load roms in any other way?
Thats pretty wild.
Yeah, let's make this door stop even more pointless. Render its need for cart and CD media obsolete. Now its just an andriod box with a closed OS.
Not many people have one, and the people who have it probably don't have the knowledge to hack it, so the interest in doing that is pretty low.
Well, I don't really get it. You buy an Emulation machine to play your original carts and then you buy this to play Roms. I would say rather buying either an Analogue device for a full blown Emulation machine does everything better. I have both to have the best experience on my original games with an FPGA Device and a much more powerful mini PC for all the emulation stuff. I think this one covers an extreme niche between both.
I need the retro blaster mini
Me too ! Waiting for the next preorder session!
But real question is there a limitation of games
"Load ROMS on the Polymega Without Cartridges"
....Uses Cartridges.... 🤣
What happens with Everdrives? What if you set the Everdrive to boot to a game (I think that's an option on some of them)
I really don’t get why these clone systems are popular. At this point you might as well just emulate on a pc. Stick all your Roms on an external HD and you basically have a physical copy of all your games. I’ve started going full emulation for all systems before ps3/360.
I think the whole point of spending all that money is too actually play your physical games, otherwise what’s the point?
Too bad no one selling loaded sd cards for the polymega
So many steps just to play emulated ROMs.
Load roms? I just want my brand new out the box Polymega to get past the splash screen.
Good!
What is this fpga or emulation like a chinese box?
Software emulation... They originally announced it as FPGA, then switched to software emulation... Irritated a lot of people a few years back.
This looks like a pain. For Polymega to gain any traction in the market someone will have to jailbreak it to work with everdrive carts. Not a big enough market for pure media collectors. I have a huge cart library for most systems and would still rather use an Everdrive most of the time.
No caca! No more Caca Man.
I actually don’t see a lot of interest for this thing lol very overpriced
I want a polymega soo bad but its soo hard to justify the price tag 🥲 and is it even available to begin with?
