There are very good mods for the Dreamcast now, like the GDEMU and the DCHDMI. I think Sega should build a Dreamcast on a chip, and create a Dreamcast mini with all of these mods. I would buy one or even 2. With a good selection of Dreamcast games.... it should sell like pancakes!

[@celam1095]

Kouillu Le Karibou it's coming soon

[@arnox4554]

I think the main reason why we're not getting an N64 mini is because so many of the classics, Rare most notably, were third-party. And even worse, Rare's owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft's already released Rare Replay for the XOne. (To be fair though, Rare Replay was pretty well done.) So yeah, an N64 mini with only DK64 from the main Rare collection would be really lame.

[@Varinz]

GoldenEye has aged like bad wine. But there are other games on there that have aged much better.

[@fatmac8480]

Are we not pretty much guaranteed that game wont be on a “classic” because of james bond copyright

[@yoman8027]

GoldenEye is practically impossible. The game partially belongs to Rare, who belongs to Microsoft, but they don't have the James Bond license anymore. Besides, I never understood what made it so popular. PCs had much better first person shooters at the time, and the game hasn't aged well at all.

I have the Mega Drive mini, it's very nice and what I like is that they have regular USB controller inputs. Using Project Lunar I clocked it at 1.3 Ghz (for some reason they clocked it down to 1Ghz) and have my own selection of added games. To me the big plus of the SNES version is that it comes with a 2 Ghz processor which should have better emulation performance options. I do think you can use Hackchi on it to emulate other game consoles and add games, but in order to use other controllers as well as a thumb drive you need to use an OTG hub. Of course, the SNES controllers come with 6 buttons so for most emulations they would suffice as well.

I had one. Absolutely loved it. It really had a lot of great, underappreciated games. The TV Sports titles were some of the best lineup of sports games for it's time.

I must say, the preloaded game selection has some great choices, but this console had such a huge library of excellent games, that it left more than a little to be desired. My buddy sold me his hacked mini (I'm a bigger retro gamer) w/which I must say, he did one helluva job choosing tons of great titles, including many of the obvious omissions. I've now beaten or completed a total of 51 games across across every known genre, over the last 3+yrs, & I will likely be playing for the better part of the next decade, cuz there's a whole lot more to go...So much fun. I'm currently playing Lost Vikings 2, Axelay, & Legend of the Mystical Ninja.

[@Oliverfan2005]

Personally, I adore the SNES mini, and would love to see a proper Neo*Geo mini

[@Ziggurat1]

Well if you dont mind tinkering the MiSTer device has an absolutely hyper accurate NEOGEO core. Furrtek went through and decapped (acid bathed) all the NEOGEO chips, and scanned them with a microscope, and wrote down all the schematics (traced everything) so he can make replacement chips for the NEOGEO. And the schematic languages used to make new chips is the same as is used in an FPGA device like MiSTer, so he released a MiSTer core which is a total beast. When you open the NEOGEO core in the MiSTer menu all the schematics are sent to the FPGA and mere milliseconds later the FPGA configures it self like a transformer into all the chips in the real NEOGEO. All the chips are working in parallel, not like in software emulation where the CPU does one thing at the time. So while software emulators are plagued with things like audio delay/lag, an FPGA core couldn't even make audio delay like that unless you would make a complicated audio buffer which would be ridiculous and would need to be intentional and lots of work. While some cores (like GBA and future PS1) on MiSTer could be considered (hardware accelerated) emulation, the NEOGEO core is so close to the real deal that you could say that the variants of NEOGEO has more difference between them in real hardware than the difference over to MiSTer. In addition it is of course HDMI output, and you can also do VGA with a cheap 12 dollar adapter, and there is no framebuffer, its just signals sent through the adapter like the console would to a CRT. And since MiSTer now has MegaCD for Genesis, everyone is expecting PCEngine CD and NEOGEO CD to show up any time this year. The Picture Processing Unit and another chip of PCEngine was also recently decapped by Furrtek, and he is in the progress of transcribing it to a hardware description language (schematic). So thats comming as well, even though the PCEngine core is excellent, we always want more authenticity.

I think the gdmu’s are the way to go for Dreamcast as you get the benefit of actual hardware; with no moving parts and easy to upgrade psu, keeping an old Dreamcast functional is easier than ever. I held onto 3 I’ll try and mod eventually but I got all my arcade sticks and accessories I’d hate to part with (lightguns too!).

[@ErikDvorak]

@@Ziggurat1 Yea of course the FPGA is not just another level, it's like a whole different league to me - not to mention the importance these devs do for preserving a piece of history by accurately reproducing them in that fpga. However I would imagine that these official mini emulators are for the casual plug&play audience, or collectors of official hardware iterations (regardless of their accuracy, utility/peripheral usability and overall value or lack thereof depending on brand and effort put in). I would imagine that they also exist for today's parents to show their kids what kind of games they used to play back in the day, so they buy them this mini-toy edition for an evening of fun or an occasional play session. Personally I'm not interested in these mini emulators at all, but this video brought a couple of interesting points where they do offer at least some value, e.g.: gamepads, official plastic case to house something better and tweakable maybe, a toy to lend to kids or friends instead of the real deal, something cheap to play during your stay at the cottage, etc.

the genesis official six buttons was the real deal for me, it looked great, felt great and that "velvet" directional was best way to NOT destroy your thumbs doing hadoukens and shoryukens, i'm aware of today's upscaled complexity of games that demands much more from controllers but that one still the top controller of all times to me.

[@JaymeSplendid]

Velvet D-pad? I don't remember it being made of velvet. Oh wait, I see what ya meant. It would be the same thing if you called it " That butter smooth" D-pad" But yeah, because it was a circle disc with a raised "Cross" pattern that made fighting games from Street Fighter to MK1-3 so much easier to pull off and didn't put your thumbs through hell. Too bad KI was never released for the Gen/Megadrive. Tho I had some asshat try to tell me the game would never play properly even on the 6 button controller because it doesn't have the same number of buttons as the SNES because of the missing "the left/right bumpers" He still couldn't wrap his head around that they both have 6 buttons total and HE even went to far as to post images of both controllers to show that the SNES has more buttons to make his point... That was the day I began losing faith in humanity, one comment at a time, and this was 1999.

[@AndyKusanagi86]

yeah, i loved the SNES i had but whenever i played SF on it i'd wonder "why isn't this D-pad 8 directions and smooth like the one on the Genesis? or even the Master System?" i mean, i don't think they could predict SFII's runaway success, but it's still annoying to do a QCF on a cross D-pad, let alone a Shoryuken motion (and God forbid if you try the Pretzel in the Fatal Fury games). i'd get much less blisters on my left thumb if they put out a new controller to address the gameplay like Sega did with the six-button controller.
