re: if the pc engine/duo was to be remade ( ie, like neo geo x) new features?

[vestcoat]

Which ones are sincere? YOU decide!:

*Ebay browsing app so I can bid on teh r@res while Gamefaqs-ing my way through CF2.

*Optional "tablet" controller for TurboExpress multiplayer games.

*SD card reader with holodeck so I can masturbate on CIB collection of VGA-graded ROMs in virtual reality.

*Built-in wifi and a server so I can play multiplayer games with PCEFX members.

*Call of Doody and Madden, because OMG.

*Wireless multitap, wired controllers. Best of both worlds.

*Alex Kidd in Miracle World, built-in!

*RBG, S-video, and TOSLINK only. f*ck HDMI.

*All CD games converted to vinyl and released on Record Store Day, because kids like that shit.

*Analog sticks for Operation Wolf and stuff.

*Processor replaced with Motorola 68000 for REAL 16-bit power.

4 players as standard? 

What is this, the N64? If we're going to start nixing controller ports, how about a built-in PCE Joy Tap with just three?

I'm still waiting for a quality PCE on a chip. No reason it couldn't happen, save the initial expense. I know a couple different folks have created relatively robust (if not yet perfect) replications in VHDL for PGA chips, which is a good first step. Once you have a PCEOAC, it's a relatively easy next step to start adding other functions and hash out a product. Of course, these days, ARM chips are cheap and powerful enough for fairly accurate emulation, so it's a little pointless. Easier to just have an emulated box.

that's impressive, emulation on a watch, shame, getting a decent controller is not easy ( require root or paying excessive amount for Samsung overpriced one, probably not even very good)
