Polymega is the first of its kind to support CD-based games and also the first to run on x86 architecture. The base system only supports CDs but modules can be attached for original cartridges. The Polymega is equipped with its own wireless controller, various USB controllers can also be used. Currently ROM files can't be loaded on the system. A store where you can buy and download games is planned for the future. |
