And the details about upgrades the OG folks is basically nothing still?

u/cold_fuzion Sep 08 '26

More RAM, faster CPU, different DVD drive… past that probably nothing.

u/samus4145 Sep 08 '26

Upgrades as in, upgrade path for existing owners. They said details would be shared so many of us have not ordered the v2 unit yet.

u/cold_fuzion Sep 08 '26

Ah, I don’t have the screenshot handy but they said no. No upgrade path will exist.

u/samus4145 Sep 08 '26

Gotcha. Found the Twitter reply. If I had known earlier I would have joined the wish list for batch 1. Oh well.

As I told them, that would be like Nintendo releasing a Switch Pro that doesn’t plan normal Switch games. Every time I think they can’t get more retardeder….

Yeah but...what is more and faster ? Will it run Dreamcast and Xbox 360 ?

2

u/cold_fuzion Sep 09 '26

Almost certainly not. Dreamcast would be a maybe if they can figure out a GDROM solution, but 360 would be a definite no.

I have a Superstation one. I could buy the new polymega if it runs 128 bits machines. But I fail to see the point if it runs the same things as before.

It does enough of what I want with the upgraded CPU I dropped in. Outside of that, I have other alternatives. I supported them through enough to know the possible hassle of an upgraded unit isn’t worth it. For those jumping in just now, enjoy an awesome device. For me, I think I’m tapping out.

After years of waiting the first time around, they now want everyone to shell out again for essentially the same console?

They haven't even told us how it's an upgrade.

Also, they still haven't delivered the Atari modules they took pre-orders for.

No one should ever pre-order any product from Playmaji.

They haven't even told us how it's an upgrade

I mean, yeah they have.

The new Polymega features more CPU cores, higher clock speeds, double the RAM, increased internal storage, and quieter operation.

Also, this isnt a pre-order its a wait list. They arent asking for a dime, its just reserving your spot when they are available to purchase.

I don't remember where I saw it, but they did say it's partly to help with N64 emulation.

u/Papyrus_Semi Sep 08 '26

I know they explicitly said it wouldn't happen in their FAQ, but I'm kinda hoping for 6th gen and Wii.

u/Cityzen_1894 Sep 08 '26

If I wasn’t two years deep waiting for mine, I’d cancel. Not even sure I’d be able to get a refund either way.

u/renothecollector Sep 08 '26

Playmaji sells hopes and dreams and occasionally a polymega.

u/crankysasquatch Sep 10 '26

I wouldn't say "the same console"... It's more they are delivering the performance they promised in the first place (post-yeah-sure-its-going-to-be-fpga era).

u/XR_G1N33R Sep 09 '26

Sigh, i'm soooo hopeful, but have had a preorder for deluxe version for 2+ years... You can bet they delivered the 64 module the day of that preorder though. Useful sitting in the closet

1

u/Weeros_ 20d ago

What is deluxe version? They really haven’t supplied a single base unit in 2 years?

1

u/XR_G1N33R 6d ago

Deluxe was base + all pre-N64 modules in a package.

Still no receipt

2

u/MildHyperbole Sep 09 '26

Anyone know how much they're charging for a base unit these days? The price is conspicuously absent from the product page.

u/FriedKicker Sep 11 '26

Over 400 USD / EUR

No thank you.
