    there is no real commercial demand for this and no offense but those so called "new retro" games that gamester81 promotes all look like trash. It seems like that group of retro gamers are the only ones that will buy this.

      +Hello Kittybot a retro system has to be designed for developers. that means - there needs to be a really convenient way of developing games. really old systems have restrictions that are primarily a pain in the ass for development (for example too less memory and cpu-power so people needed to write assembler code, in a bit better systems you could program in c but c++ with dynamic memory management was too expensive on the ressources. you did not have good libraries available in your development environment. it was simply an art to develop games that had stunning graphics and audio but took really a lot of time. now developers do not want to spend that much time for developing. so such a retro console has to be friendly for developers. with a c64 or an amiga everyone could start developing by themselves. with a xbox or playstation or n64 etc "normal" people are not encouraged to develop games.
      thats one of the biggest problems i have with these consoles.
      the chameleon fake started as retro vgs with the idea that everyone can develop games for it and sell their cartridges. thats a good idea. but sadly it was only the idea that was good. everything else was only a wet phantasy of mike.
      i would really like to see a working prototype at kickstarter with the release of detailed specs of the whole circuit. but i think we will not see that ever.

    Watching this four years after everything went down with the Coleoco Chameleon. There are a fair amount of similarities between this and the Intellivision Ameco. I think the Ameco is going to eventually ship a working product but not before doing some similar things to the Chameleon, like taking people's money before having a working prototype.

    • @DeliciousHotShmoze
      @DeliciousHotShmoze 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      One year later and you’re only becoming more right. At least the Chameleon didn’t stagger on as painfully long as the Amico has so far. At least it died a relatively quick death and Kennedy has for the most part stayed out of the public eye.

    • @medes5597
      @medes5597 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These guys are going nowhere if they're doing shit like this. If you can't even build a prototype for the MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC SALES PITCH in the USA and just steal something already existing, you're not going to get this out there, LET ALONE make a profit.

      Put flash-based storage or an SSD in there, put an Internet connection on there for patches, curate the content.

    • @ThaetusZain
      @ThaetusZain 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alaeriia Yeah they don't write on disks, the patches still come in for the game on a separate hard drive. The problem with patches is simply the frequency and how long you have to wait for them. Most consoles can get around that by allowing you to control what patches come through automatically.

      2. Not everyone has hundreds of moneys to spend on ridiculously rare/overpriced games
      3. Everyone illegally downloads stuff off the internet or has done that at least once in his/her life, making you a hypocrite if you call him out on that

  • @AnonyDave
    @AnonyDave 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One thing that gets missed here is the FPGA part of all this. For reference, the instance I can find of implementing an NES in an fpga was on an obsolete spartan3-1000, a 17k logic cell device. The closest match for that in current devices would be a spartan6-lx25 (24k logic cells, maybe it could be crammed into the lx16 but that is a moot point) - this is a $50 part. Bulk pricing might get the cost down a bit, but FPGAs are not really intended for mass production devices. That's just the price for the FPGA, there's a lot of support hardware required that adds to the cost. How many people are realistically going to spend $200-300 (if not more) on an sorta-emulated NES?
    That was just for the *NES*, the SNES is probably an order of magnitude more complex. Even more recent hardware probably wouldn't even fit into the top of the line virtex-7 2000T, a $20k device.
    Just thought a slightly more technical nail might help burst this balloon.

  • @cliiify

    That test cartridge is definitely a SNES SD card or similar multicart. Just check the connector placement in this official presentation "COLECO CHAMELEON - NY TOY FAIR UPDATE CLIPS" at 0:10. The connector pins are quite clearly extended SNES cart connector configuration. Either their engineer was just in love with the SNES components and ripped a pin connector from a SNES to put into the prototype or it's just a SNES pcb in a Jag shell.

  • @SnoopKatt
    @SnoopKatt 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    An FPGA system would be sweet since you could have a 100% digital HDMI output (vs using an ADC to convert RGB to HDMI), so video quality would be excellent. It would be the best way to play NES/SNES/Genesis/etc on an HDTV, and there would be no dealing with expensive mods/scalers or such. Also, having one console that can simulate several other consoles saves a hell of a lot of shelf space and ups the wife-friendly factor a lot more.
    However, is this what the Chameleon will be? Nah... unless you have a serious hardware team with A LOT of FPGA experience, there's no way to get it done, let alone in their time frame.

    Why even use composite, most games enthusiasts back in the day in Japan and Europe were using RGB on a CRT to get better image quality... to see the sprites as they looked when drawn by the artist.
    Composite just adds dot-crawl and a whole host of other issues to the image!

    It's clear this team is incapable of producing any kind of product on their own. Like you have said they just have the tooling for a Jaguar shell and that's it. They can't design a board, controller or even a power button on their own. Basically the kickstarter is so they can hire people to design, build and manufacture the product for them without actually bring anything to the table themselves.
    Normally when someone has a kickstarter project they are capable of creating at least one aspect of said project. I can't wrap my head around this one.

    This snake oil shit's getting beyond ridiculous. At the start of the project this at least seemed to be aimed at retro game enthusiasts/collectors and the like, but at this point this guy and his team are just taking a gamble to see if there are enough clueless people with money to fund them a short trip to easy street. That or they're just persistent beyond all possible reason. Ian's Don Quixote -allegory was pretty much on the spot. Enough is enough.

      I'd think that most collectors would know a bit about what they're collecting, and to at least some degree be aware of the things happening in the community. You don't have to do much research to discover what ill-fated horseshit this project has been, and I don't see it getting better anytime soon. Maybe I'm wrong. Some people probably will have their collecting-self take the best of their reasonable-self, but other than that, at this point I don't see anyone who's even a little on top of things being very interested in pouring money into this.

I'll make a Universal Console that plays every game ever made, and I'll do it by ripping the guts out of them, stuffing them in a big cardboard box with appropriately cut out holes, then just electrical tape it together and write meme phrases all over it.
    ....actually make that masking tape, first prototype probably won't catch fire prior to the summary judgment in the following lawsuit

    I'm new at collecting retro videogame consoles just for the pleasure of having a little piece of videogame history. I'm not against emulators (they output an amazing image quality), it's just that I like collecting cartridges and playing them, to "experience" living in that era (I was born in the mid 90s). This product is just a SNES motherboard covered with a Jaguar plastic shell. If you want to experience retro gaming then get an old system. To experience retro gaming on a NEW console then just download an emulator or get the game on a console marketplace. I support launching new games on old consoles, but not "new-retro" consoles in an era where hardware is constantly upgrading. Just my opinion.

  • @JanoyCresvaZero
    @JanoyCresvaZero 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This console gave me the courage to announce my prototype... The Intellivision Radulus! It's basically one of those Leapfrog systems that I cracked open and duct taped the internals from an old junker Wii I had lying around... You can play tons of retro games on my console thanks to the Virtual Console! I hot glued a small red LED that constantly blinks, regardless of whether the console is powered on or not... Figured the console could use some flair!

  • @jordanromaker
    @jordanromaker 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I fully 100% understand the desire to see new games developed in the old 8-bit and 16-bit style of yesteryear, but it's not the 80's anymore -- you don't actually need a new console for that. People should be petitioning game developers to make the types of games they want to see, not some fancy unnecessary hardware. Whenever I go to conventions, I always come across some vendors who have made custom old-school consoles that look really really pretty, and that's cool, but those things sell on the spot to a very specific type of gamer and are not something that needs to be mass-produced or get new developers on board in order for them to be viable. You guys are totally right -- this is purely a novelty item, nothing more.

  • @leeadkins1360
    @leeadkins1360 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don't think these guys have the technical capability to provide anything close to what they suggest in the marketing. Would it not be much easier to just use a raspberry pi 2 in there with hdmi, microusb power already provided? Then the hardest part is making the cart slot function properly with maybe a controller board linked via usb or gpio. Either way, you could likely make one with superior features and properly multi format emulated for £100 at a guess. I just don't know what they are thinking with this.

    • @leeadkins1360

  • @TheAgentGold
    @TheAgentGold 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Uggggggh. I've been keeping an eye on the system because I like the idea of the novelty of having new games on cartridges. I like owning physical copies of games, and I was turned on to it by a company I respect who doesn't have any physical copies of their games out yet (this was back when it was the RetroVGS). On their first attempt at getting funding, I pointed out that they were relying too much on the nostalgia factor and asked some practical questions about its specs and how to develop for it that didn't exactly get answered. The best answer they gave was "it should be about PS3 power at its strongest", which would be okay for me for the level of games I'd expect to see on it.
    But faking a prototype and trying to pass it off as their system is waaaaay too underhanded. I'd like to see this project turn into something cool, and when people just say things like "this has zero value", I try to see the positive side of it. But when we see them directly being deceitful--not even having their sights set too high to achieve and trying to make the coolest system they can--there isn't much to be said in their defense.
    What I really want to see in a system like this is to take some of the core things that made the SNES era of games great and expand on it with what we have access to now. I want to see HD sprites and fluid animations where those action-packed side scrollers left their footprint. I want to see classic RPGs that tell stories without the padding of level grinding. I'm not trying to go back in time, I'm trying to celebrate a wonderful period of the past and pay tribute to it with things that couldn't be done at the time but still fit the spirit of the era.
    I'm going to continue keeping an eye on the project because there could still be some hope for a decent product coming out of it, but I'm going to need hard figures before I can actually trust it. At this point it's most likely I'm going to follow their project and read the updates, but not fund anything. They were going to talk about specifics of their hardware on their Kickstarter campaign, but now even that's been canceled.
    The whole situation with this project is a downright shame. The promised the moon, I expected something at least halfway reasonable, and now it looks like there will be nothing in the end. It's just sad.
