Imagine that some Hong Kong company creates a device that could play NES carts, Turbo Hu cards, Genesis carts, Super Nes Carts, Turbo CD's, Sega CD's, Saturn discs, PSX discs, Nintendo 64 carts, 32X carts, Dreamcast discs, etc, etc.
Could you freaking imagine? Plus the controller input would have adapters for every controller for these individual systems. So you basically would be able to play every system, NES to Dreamcast, with the actual controller, and use the actual real games, the real CD's and the real carts or Hu cards, and it was all housed in one system.
Plus it had a special video adapter in it, that was capble of taking each systems true video signals, and it would boost these signals, like a XRGB2 and have them output a progressive scan video signal that you could use on HDTV's, so that the video would be the best possible video signal that each of these systems could possible produce. Of course it would also output S-Video and composite if you needed it.
I mean could you freaking imagine? It would have to have 4 different cartridge slots on it. One for NES, one for Nintendo 64, one for the Super Nintendo, one for Genesis and 32X. It would also have the one slot for Hu cards. As far as the CD drives, I'm not sure if it would be possible for there to only be one CD drive that coud read all this media. They might actually need two CD drives.
Now, of course, because this is a Hong Kong device, no Atari Jaguar or 3DO support. Although if it supported those systems too, it would be super sweet. It would also be sweet if it played Neo Geo discs too.
How much would you pay for this device? Just think of all the freaking space it would save?
Yeah, yeah, I know. There is already such a device. It's a freaking PC. You could get a video card with a TV output, and emulate almost all these systems and play the game on a freaking TV, and it would almost be the same thing.
But that's just it..... Almost.... Not totally. You wouldn't be using the actual carts and the actual controllers. Plus it's very unattractive to have your PC tower right next to your TV. My wife just ain't gonna go for that.
I mean sure, this device that I'm talking about, would also be the size of two freaking XBOX systems, side by side attatched to each other. But that is still alot easier to hide than a PC tower. Plus a PC can't emulate all these systems with perfection yet.
