The '''Polymega''' is an upcoming a modular [[Emulation Boxes|emulation box]] created by Playmaji to emulate older systems. 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 comes with its own wireless controller, but various USB controllers can also be used and each module comes with controller ports for the system it's based on. Games can be installed to the system directly from the disc or cartridge (so you have easier access and don't have to worry about damaging them), however ROM files can't be loaded on the system. A store where you can buy and download games is planned for the future.
