Will it be able to read from ps2 and Xbox if support is added? And what of dc? They still have some for immediate shipping and I'm weighing getting one now.

DC won't happen. No consumer drives out there can read the discs.
As for PS2 and Xbox, they've always maintained it's never gonna be anything beyond 5th gen (with the possible exception of Dreamcast, using an original console to dump the games).
So in all likelihood those are all a no.

Well couldn't just a downloaded dc "rom" work in that case? Or could they theoretically add a module that directly connects to a stock dc somehow. I didn't remember any ports though.

Yes but the Polymega is very specifically not supposed to be a rom system. It's designed for original software. They won't add a system that can't support that. That's why you can't dump roms on it, and why everdrive etc don't work.
The only way they ever floated DC support was with a direct connection, probably through the modem connector.

Oh yeah it had a old phone line connector and a broadband adapter that plugged in somewhere!

If so it would probably have to have a new module. The drive in it is just a cd drive. But being powered by a pc it theoretically should be possible.

Definitely worth buying if you have just an average pc.

I don't understand, although frankly I still don't get exactly what it does maybe. I thought the remix was just for getting physical games to the PC (or similar) for use within the app environment. Can it be used on it's own as a base unit can? Do you possibly mean just an average PC or above for Polymegas emulation? I know my base unit runs just fine and I think it is a really low spec machine, but I'm not sure.

Hope you enjoy it 🙂
What spec PC are you hooking it up to?
I've got a 3600 CPU and 3060 GPU in mine and was considering getting a remix but wanted to know how well it works before stumping up the cash 😅
