    If he's been collecting games for years he should have known exactly what he was given with these prototypes, you would think seeing the thing requiring Nintendo inputs would make him curious or suspicious about it. At the very least you would expect him to open the case and inspect the circuit board of the prototype he paid to have made as he was in charge of the whole thing as it was his project, especially before showing it off publically. You're showing off a new product of yours to the public and you know nothing about it or how it works? The way he explains it he wanted to design a new console with new specifications yet knew nothing about how it should work or how it should be designed or constructed, or how to hire people who could work on or complete the project successfully. He's either lying, an idiot, or most likely both.

    Arrogance? Naivety? Delusional? All three? I don't even know. This is seriously going beyond lulz and getting into dark comedy. Almost uncomfortable to follow now.
    Who banned port and why?

    Looks like it was for the VGH Museum thread (https://forum.digitpress.com/forum/s...s-Finally-Open). Pretty incredible that port got banned for *that*.

    I would really like to know what Mike has to say about the cartrige he had with the SNES prototype. Like what did he think it was? Was it a flash cart, and if so how could he have not noticed? The demo/proto cart did not function with the initial 3rd party ac adapter they had the system hooked up to, which led them scrambling to find another ac adapter. If he knew the cart was a snes flash cart, he must have known the prototype was simply a snes.

    While I have nothing against Port myself, the guy for years now only pops on this forum to spew vitriol and be antagonistic, almost as if he just wants to stir the pot on a forum he's made clear that he no longer likes. I'm honestly surprised that he wasn't banned sooner. I'm not saying all the targets of his ire are undeserving of criticism, but when all someone is bringing to the board is negativity, they're bound to get the boot eventually.

    The constant use of the ostrich defense opens up its own question. With everyone else involved in the project apparently busy lying or otherwise not fulfilling their obligations to the RVGS/Chameleon, and with Mike Kennedy being removed enough from all of this that he was genuinely surprised each and every time, what was...ya know...his job? How far removed from your own project do you have to be to know so little about it?

    That video is hilarious.
    His explaination for the super nintendo controllers is that its just easier to hardwire 'snez' controllers than to use coleco controllers, because the analog controllers wont work on super nintendo games and that would just confuse everybody.

    At 0:55 he calls them 'snez' controllers.

    Hard to argue with that, lol.

    The problem is people link me threads here (aforementioned museum thread) and I can't look away. I try my damnedest to keep my eyes forward when passing accidents on the roadway and I guess I'm compensating by doing it online. Especially when they're coated with inanity and bullshit.

    The RetroVGSameleon was an exception. You guys dropped the ball on that one, so I made the thread. AA couldn't be the only gawkers to partake.
