This podcast doesn't even mention the BEST PART of the Coleco Chameleon debacle. One of the pictures the devs showed before the kickstarter was supposed to start was supposed to be a prototype circuitboard with ports soldered onto it showing that they were making progress. It wasn't even circuit board, it was GREEN CARDBOARD with some random USB ports and charging ports glued into it!
+TheDeliciousMystery Oh yes, I remember that thing. I think I saw like one picture in a magazine once and than the news that it was canceled later down the line.
You could probably make updatable cartridges if you include an usb port or something of that nature, but that would kinda defeat the purpose and also make it quite expensive I would imagine.

Still a threat.

NG Dev Team has done that in the past for at least one of their games, but they're super expensive Neo Geo carts for an ultra-niche enthusiast market.
Could make flash cards that could be updated through the cartridge port.
What time is this in the actual bombcast?
+andrew kilroy 3 hours 1 minute in, give or take.
not long enough :(
It was a scam. I know they can't just blurt that out without risking a lawsuit, but come on. It was a fucking scam.
The thing that never was, what a waste :P
