ChipMusic.org / Forums / Other Vintage Computers & Consoles / "Multiple Classic Computer" hardware emulator in a box...
Stumbled on this while browsing eBay:
Very nice features (PS/2 keyboard and mouse, usb power port, NTSC and PAL, micro sd for content, real gaming ports,...). Anybody have experience with these or similar?
eBay store: http://shop.ebay.com/arcaderetrogaming/m.html
from what i can see, there's no disc drive or cart slot
i guess it's just another 1000-in-1 tv game
edit: i am stupid, there's micro-sd

Sound is all I care, and might sound shitty.
But sure seems like a fun box to have.

right. clones usually have MUCH cheaper sound chips, so they sound totally different.
but still, this sound like it might be fun!
Found a review with some more info: http://www.armchairarcade.com/neo/node/3436
Appears that the Amiga emulator is still pending. Sound is being described as "very accurate". I'm going to keep an eye on this project. If the Amiga stuff does surface I'll be much more interested.
I read in the site that the C64 emulation is from vice. I used it and the sound is not thaaaat great, but it was ok.
Preconfigured and enhanced VICE emulation engine with auto-updates
But maybe the amiga emulation compensates if you don't want to buy or can't buy an amiga, or whatever. But that's seems like not implemented yet.
In the tech specs it's said the thing is FPGA-based, no CPU. VICE is software-based emulator. The only way to run it on such a system is to run a powerful CPU core in the FPGA, it would be a real waste.
