Message: [QUOTE="PhaseJump, post: 365608, member: 72924"] Yeah, 8bitguy's machine, and all the others have absolutely strayed into crowd funding retail bullshit. They're all mostly stuck there, with a fully released product and instantly they lose people's interest. The scope creep, delays, redesigns, and lack of a finish line crossing product has kept the CX16 scene baited and strung along for a while now. They more recently threw the 65C816 into the mix. I think it's a shit show. Crowd funding is a bad idea for this thing outside trying to bump up the numbers of hobbyist developers already into it getting real hardware in their hands. It's not going to sell more than a few hundred consoles at best, with any and all of the delusional hype, marketing, or good will it can hypothetically get from the 8bit nerds on the internet. Most of them probably aren't even aware of GameTank, and will buy and collect crap they don't understand so it rots on a shelf. Beyond that blatantly obvious reality, I think implying it [I]should have[/I] HDMI is just throwing scope creep at it. There are better software homebrew efforts going into existing consoles. NES, SMS, 7800, PC Engine. The Genesis and Gameboy beats all due to the SGDK and gbstudio. [/QUOTE]
