The Remix sidesteps much of that manufacturing complexity by offloading processing to the player’s hardware. All emulation runs on the host device through the Polymega App, with the Remix itself serving as the interface between physical media and the user's PC or gaming handheld . Emulation performance will naturally scale with whatever the host device can deliver, with a Steam Deck or ROG Ally carrying substantially more processing power than the original PM01.

TerryLaze The games already are digital….you don't digitize digital games, you either copy or transcode them. Reply
joe8088 How long until Nintendo sues them? Seems like an open and shut case for Nintendo, Sony, etc. for DMCA violations and copy right infringement. Reply

No, since you need the original to copy it and it doesn't circumvent any copy protections but, if even there, copies that as well, there is nothing nintendo or anybody else can do about this. Creating a backup in this way is legal, which is why nintendo added the console keys to the switch, that way you can't legally make any backups since you have to circumvent that key protection. Reply

Unless it verifies the original game every time you play it, I am sure their lawyers would argue differently. I could "backup" the game and then sell it yet still play it. Reply

Again, the law allows this kind of backup, for decades now, there is nothing anybody can do about it. Reply

I have seen many other companies who got sued into oblivion say the same thing. Besides Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc. wouldn't have to be "right" about the law to cause the company to go bankrupt due to lawyer fees. Reply

No, you didn't! joe8088 said: Besides Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc. wouldn't have to be "right" about the law to cause the company to go bankrupt due to lawyer fees. They can't get you into court to begin with on something that is already legal. Reply

Sluggotg I preordered 3 Polymega Base Stations in Nov/Dec 2024. They advertised they would be shipping in Q1 2025. They just kept kicking the can down the road telling us they would ship in a few months or the Summer of 2025, (and stuck to that story until 2026). Bottom line they sold a a base station. Did absolutely Zero manufacturing of the base stations and used the money to create this new product. They are telling us we will get the new version. But, how many years will we have to still wait? Without the Base Stations, everything else is worthless. I also made the mistake of ordering sets of all the modules after I had made my preorders. I am sitting on worthless modules and it remains unclear if they will actually manufacture more. With them doing a complete redesign of the hardware, (which would mean rewriting the software), it could be years. Hopefully I am wrong. Reply
