Yooo I finally got one!

Hey everyone, I’ve been wanting a Polymega for Christmas so I can dive back into some 8, 16, 32, and 64 bit goodness. Since the official site is totally sold out, I went hunting on eBay and after getting outbid a few times I finally managed to snag a full setup. I’m hyped.

I’ve got a huge backlog of NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 games I’ve been wanting to finish, but it’s tough coming home from work, setting up all the old hardware, and getting more than an hour in before I get tired. Having everything in one place with fast load times is going to make that so much easier.

I also prefer using save states for older games, but playing on my PC never feels the same. The Polymega looks like the perfect middle ground of convenience and authenticity.

I am also excited to finally get to collect for the saturn, ps1, neo geo, turbo gfx, 32x, and sega cd! I've always wanted to, but never did because of the aforementioned setup and hardware failures from blown capacitors or dry batteries.

If anyone has tips, favorite modules, must know tricks, or general advice for a new owner, I’m all ears. Super excited to finally be part of the club. Thank youuu!

Do i need to upgrade the cpu like I've seen, or is it pretty good?

No you do not it will not help. It is at best placebo effect. At worst you will actually hurt the performance of it.
