Modder creates the utilmate retro system!?

[kool kitty89]

Obviously you build something like this to play the original games on real hardware. For the people who don't like imperfect emulation.

The controller would ruin any advantages of hardware authenticity for me . . .

is that a good thing or a bad thing ?

it reminded me most of a mutant dreamcast controller

If it was more like the Jaguar controller, I might tolerate it . . . but it honestly looks like some unholy abomination combining many of the worst aspects of the WiiU gamepad, PSP, PS1/2, and Dreamcast.

There are some PC gamepads I'm relatively comfortable using for a broad array of emulated consoles, and none of them are remotely close to that thing. (still, just having multiple ports for each console makes more sense overall . . . perhaps a dongle for that rather than on the console itself)



I've seen multi-console hacks before, and they're usually ugly, but at least more practical than that. (also usually more around 5 consoles or so combined, though)

God, it's the Frankenstein's monster

Kudos to the guy, but man... that's fucking horrible.

I like the heart behind it, but God it's ugly. I hope none of his friends ask him to bring his *insert a single one of the consoles that make this up* over to play. What a workout.

This. And the fact that a 19-in-1 console has probably got to be the most over-the-top modding idea ever to be dreamed up by anyone.

It's ugly and controller is bulky but making controller boards for each system using one main controller is convenient instead of 19 separate ones laying around and 19 consoles in a 3 feet by 3 feet box is smaller than space of 19. One power supply and switching between system power is a good idea. The work involved is great, even though yes it's ugly and controller is ugly but it fits his space he wanted and is good for him so. Not sure how I could of done it better. What is the blue vhs looking cart towards middle or bottom ? Neo Geo cart ?

Yes, that's a Neo Geo MVS cartridge.

[MrSega]

Yes, that's a Neo Geo MVS cartridge.

My word! I've often wondered how many volts the NEOGEO often used because their cartridges were always so big. Too BIG.

[NeoVamp]

Too BIG.

Gotta house all that giga power somewhere!
