  • The Polymega has done a good job of emulating its compatible systems since its release in 2021. With the launch of the EM05 element module, however, performance is not quite where most would like it in every game. The Polymega's included Celeron CPU isn't the best so upgrading it can increase performance quite a bit. In this video, I will take you through the process of upgrading the Polymega CPU! You do this upgrade at your own risk!

    This video is a resource for Polymega owners who might be interested in this process.
    I have no interest in your shitty takes about mister and raspberry pi. Guess what, a good emulation PC is better than all three of these options so I don't care if you hate Polymega/mister/raspberry pi.

    As someone that worked on Polymega and put a bunch together - having the CPU upgradeable was 100% apart of the design. Great video!

    I finally got mine yesterday and I've noticed a 1 second lag respond when I press a button with the default wireless controllers. It's really frustrating especially with Mega Man. However if you plug the controller the lag respond is now .3/.4 ishh second. Good improvement but it's still not one on one. By changing the CPU do you think it would fix this issue?

    • @ArchadesGames

      The USB ports are slower to respond than the element module controller ports. I haven't noticed a difference in that behavior after doing the swap.

    I cannot imagine spending all that money for this thing for its adapters and controllers.... AND then pay more for a new cpu

      You don't have to pay more for it if you don't want it. Performance is fine for 98% of the systems compatible games.

      My PC can play N64 better than Mister so not the best but a great option. Polymega with a CPU upgrade can also play N64 better than a mister with no incompatible memory stricken games. So how exactly was it better?

      The N64 mister core has already been discontinued because of the memory issue.
