This just popped up in a feed of mine, looks like an interesting project bringing retro games to new consoles. I guess I’m wondering what other’s think. Would you be willing to buy your old game again?

A lot of hype for what amounts to just a proprietary Retroarch. I wish some company could use the same approach but sell these games dirty cheap, like the old PC games magazines we used to have, instead of making premium collectables.
Tbh there is a good place in the world for “just a proprietary retroarch”. Someone’s gotta do the work to bind open source emulators to the proprietary sdks, and nintendo/sony/maybems? Don’t let you do that in public code.
So an engine like this, if its basically just a case of dropping a rom in and customising a few menu screens, could help get a lot of things ported to modern systems if companies didn’t want to put in the effort before.
They hype is really just to spread that word to other companies likely.
Right, this isn’t a marketing page to tell the general public about a new emulator system we can all start trying out or using to port old games. It’s a business-to-business marketing page trying to get other game studios on board to port their back catalog.
