Modern Mate?
« on: December 01, 2007, 09:55:35 AM »
Anyone seen one of these before? Coolest looking pirate console that I've laid eyes on. It has a built-in joystick and it plays famicom and megadrive games too.

I've never seen or heard of one of these before.  It looks totally insane.

what an odd combination. The MD and FC don't share much common hardware; a combination would seem wasteful.

I'd think a pirate neo geo/genesis combos would make more sense, but pirateers don't seem interested in the neo.

Sure...if you add the 8-bit 6502 clone with the 16-bit Motorola 68000...hey look, 24 bits! :D

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

It's actually 32-bit.

8+8+16

(There have to be at least 3 processors in that clone: 6502, Z-80, 68000)

That's kinda cool, but it's likely a famicom-on-a-chip plus a megadrive-on-a-chip rather than a full blown hardware clone.  I'll bet that it has limited compatibility and looks, sounds, and/or controls like shit.

That's called SNK (or Jaguar) logic.

I wonder if anyone here is gonna get these? :-s

And the thread title was a bit misleading, Rolins.  I thought you were putting up a thread for Internet dating. :roll:

Huh?  They marketed it as 32 bit and it had a 32 bit processor, didn't it?  :-k
