      Hi,

      I'll see if I can get some internal shots together but I'd personally prefer to wait for the production units as they'll be injection moulded. Should be pretty close to the prototypes though.

      This model will be priced at £34.99.

      Volume, power and cartridge mechanism all work. Spare cartridges should also be available.

      Yes, we do have plans for both the Genesis and Japan Mega Drive. We're all prepped for it but need to get this one off the ground first. I hope you understand. I don't want to spread myself too thin and let people down. Other consoles (and home computers) across manufacturers are currently at the planning stages.

            @exarkuniv We absolutely are, but unfortunately that's all I can say at the moment and we need to make sure this one is a success first! :D

                  This is pretty cool. I bet this would look good on my nightstand.
                  If the prototype looks like this, man, I bet the finished product would look like a piece of art. Good job, man!

                  Don't sweat it.
                  When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                    As beautiful as it looks, everyone around here already has their eyes closed and is thinking about cutting it open to put a Raspi in there... ;-)

                    It looks stunning, good luck with putting it on the market and i'm curious to see what will be next.

                          As promised the final production model is here (and available for pre-order) so I can now show the internals and how a Pi would fit...

                          More details in the link but here are some photos.
