Polymega review: What do I think after 6 months?

[@ed209v6]

The controller is great. I also love the save states feature on all games and the cheat codes database.

I have been waiting to hear your thoughts on this. I have been on the fence with picking one up but you have actually allowed me to make an objective decision NOT to get it. There are too many caviots, especially when you consider the price with the modules. I think for now I will stick with Analogue products. Although, the release of Analogue console platforms right now is not what I want. I want a Dreamcast and Saturn Analogue Console. Keep up the great content dude.

Glad it helped. It’s a lot of money to spend not fully understanding the product. I am bummed that I didn’t mention features like downloading translation patches for Japanese games as well as the ability to play burnt games.

It’s a great system I’ve had mine for a year and absolutely love it (once you install all your games😂), but having all my games at a click of a button priceless. And also saves wear and tear on my games and consoles👍🏻🍺😂.

[@den_den_boys]

Yeah agree that was one of the big factors in me purchasing mine. Also when I have a sesh with Vaughan and he brings something rare that I don’t own… well now I have it as well

[@TISUAL]

It's crazy how this console doesn't have bluetooth nor has the ability to record like an hour playthrough of games. Also, as I heard the fact that when you save your games to an ssd or whatever, there is no way to transfer those games. This console came out after ps4 and cost a lot now.

[@den_den_boys]

Fair points raised there and by no means is it the perfect console. Hopefully continued updates will help. I guess with all the things it can do, some things had to be sacrificed

[@TISUAL]

@@den_den_boys I remember they talked about having an online store and maybe cloud storage. But for me instead of only cloud storage I would still prefer being able to transfer those games by a storage device to another polymega something like what PS5 does.

[@steveothehulk]

I think it a great idea and a great front end but the games just have issues especially n64

[@den_den_boys]

Don’t own the N64 module yet. Have heard it’s not working well atm. People are putting a lot of hope into the next update helping

[@markshanks2501]

First one!!!

[@kdstyles1979]

did i miss how large the hard drive is? this is a great video. thank you

[@kdstyles1979]

that was funny. you talked about storage right after i posted this. maybe i should have waited lol

[@den_den_boys]

All good 👍

[@den_den_boys]

Thanks for watching hope the vid helps

For me the lagging on Snes games are really a huge bummer. It doesn't really matter when you play an RPG but something like Donkey Kong or Ninja Gaiden trilogy is just not fun. There is also some minor sound lag on PS1 and Saturn (12-15 frames). I know some people might say it's an emulator, BUT, for the price tag I'm sorry but I am expecting top quality. So for me as it is now this console is a 4/10. I'm sorry I really want to love that console and I hope patches will fix it.

[@den_den_boys]

It’s interesting hearing other people’s experiences with the console. I haven’t experienced any of those issues but yet I HAVE experienced crashing and freezing of games which others haven’t. So far the new update has def smoothed some of the issues I have had so far

[@PatenaudePhilippe]

@@den_den_boys Interesting indeed because on my side the console only crashed once and it's when I tried to upload Metal Gear Solid Disc 2. In any case it just prove the point that this console was not ready for mass production. Great concept , beautiful user friendly Interface, passionate community behind it but it's still ruff performance wise.

[@TISUAL]

The company ruined it for themselves when they took long releasing this console and then took long giving it to the customers. Also, with steadily increasing the price and changing the console from fpga to not fpga.​@@PatenaudePhilippe

[@Retrochipsgames]

The problem with the controller why not just plug a retrobit usb Saturn controller in or any other that’s wired. You don’t have to use the polymega wireless one

[@den_den_boys]

Yeah def looking at getting alternatives for the usb modules. It’s a serviceable control but feel like they could have done better

[@MobileDecay]

You look like Cooltoy.

[@den_den_boys]

Or does he look like me?

[@steveothehulk]

Controller and dongle are awful quality

[@den_den_boys]

I’m not too bothered by the control personally, but I definitely only play on wired mode. The module controls are quite good
