Hey
@analogue
, since you're hyping this a year in advance, how about just opening pre-orders for a week and skip the "limited quantity" bullshit? I know your ego loves watching the commotion when you sell out, but maybe let PCE / TG-16 fans actually buy one this time?
Duo is Coming 2021. Limited quantities. $199.

Fuck it, I'm so sick of letting people bully me (& others), just to try and avoid drama.
This is the same dirtbag who stole my footage with no credit and misrepresented what I said. Now he's blaming Mike because
@Wix

Fuck you Jared. You're not a good person.
There's literally nothing that could have been done?!?! Dawg migrate your site to something that can handle the bandwidth necessary to run your business and try using a host that DOESN'T throttle traffic from what I assume would be one of, if not your largest fucking market!

Price is $275 for this production batch, and increases to $300 for future runs due to the rising cost of parts.

Respectfully, I don’t understand the point.
Why waste time making something that already exists?
How about tackle a new product that doesn’t exist yet?
A PS2 ODE that plays PS1&2 games would solve so many issues that HDL introduces. Heck, even a CDi ODE would be more interesting.
We have plenty of awesome ideas, but what would you like to see on a new SNES flashcart?

Here’s an example of what 2ms of lag looks like - The monitor on the right is receiving the signal just after the monitor on the left and the CRT starts drawing the image slightly after.
2ms is so fast, you should just think of it as ZERO, but I really enjoyed this visual queue.

Cousin Scott found a PVM-1344Q on the side of the road with the cord cut.
