Yes,Neo Geo X made me sad. It was not what I was expecting.
Looking for UK copies of Dive Alert Becky's Version, Puzzle Link 1 and 2, Gals Fighters, and Pocket Reversi.

Here's a video of the Polymega running Neo Geo CD for anyone interested, I'm guessing its Android based? Definitely improves the load times, but I'm not sure that I'd personally grab one. Also plays Genesis CDs and a few others...
Wow, I see the Polymega formerly known as the Retroblox system is progressing but I want to see actual hardware running I am getting the slight whiff of Retro VGS/Coleco Chameleon.
I built my own polymega yesterday. Took me a few hours
AIO Gigabyte 1037u w/ lakka os running retro arch. Going to try to rig up a working USB cd drive this weekend
Cut a custom acrylic case in the next few weeks...make it look nice
but it took no time. Emulator box. Case will be the longest process.
That's why I am leary of the polymega. Expensive mini computer with custom front end and it's almost the cost of a new console??
I would rather have a modded AES with the Neo SD cart or perhaps a consolized MVS
Looks like the Polymega still lives. They're printing circuit boards:

Also excited for it, but I'm not spending a cent until I see some reviews once it's released.
I'd like to see Game Sack tackle it. They're always spot on with these retro systems.
I thought this thing fell off the edge of the earth. I won't lie that it interests me, but I don't have any expectations built up whatsoever.
Been following this for a while but the devs aren't very open which usually bodes ill for a project. Also, I think the concept is great but I am not sure about it's execution. Hopefully we'll find out someday soon!
Neo Geo AES JP serial #108523 | Super Neo AES JP serial #081188
My biggest grip of most retro systems is no analog support.
Saturn 3d controller suxxxx.
It worked well in a couple of games, but it was way too sensitive for most. In the various racing games I tended to favor using a regular dpad over either the UFO pad or the official Saturn steering wheel.
I don’t really get the point of this RetroBlox/PolyMega. I mean, I love retrogaming in all its forms: I love my beefy emuPC, my MiSTer FPGA, my Analogue Super NT and I’m sourcing a MV-1C in order to use it with my OSSC (plus all my old consoles). I see pros and cons of each approach, I’m not an extremist at all (i.e. this rules, everything else sucks). But I don’t get the point of this implementation: they’re mixing the latencies of software emulation on an ARM SOC with the inconvenience of dealing with real media. Not saying that real media has not its charm, but on an emulator... meh...

So is this an emulation box...or? What? I thought the Dreamcast Already Loaded Neo Geo CD games at something like 6X speed. What's the appeal here? Why would I buy this?
SEARCH. FUNCTION.
Because you buy garbage.

Not going to happen."

If they are able to implement the latest retroarch with run-ahead, this thing could be very very nice. Let's be honest, they are more than likely stealing someone's emulator work - so might as well steal the latest and greatest, or better yet work out a deal with them
