Well keeping track of all these kind of consoles and which ones are oficially endorsed and which ones are not it's getting difficult and who is promoting it?
So is stealing fba code without permission for the emulation on the capcom stick.
Pretty hilarious that capcom tries to compete in a market filled with piracy using a device with pirated code lol.It's pretty clear the Pandora's Boxes are piracy boxes though.
Yeah, that's a pretty big mistake on Capcom's part if it's accurate, but I'ma wait and see if it was just 1 FBA dev who wasn't in the loop or if Capcom really just somehow....forgot to get permission LOL.
I think the idea behind the shape being so distinct is that with so many unofficial products with classic art from capcom on them existing (most seem to bear sfvlogos) that if they were to compete in the market they needed to stand out and be instantly distinguishable from the knockoffs. Thus a custom capcom logo shaped device.Also, I agree the stick design is trash. Who wants to play on a damn logo. Should've been cool old official art from the games in the collection. They have all that shit.
With that much case real estate I give it an hour after launch and someone will have gutted it and just setup a pi3b board on it. Anything that has a stick gets that done to it these days. Many things that don't too. Hell theres even an altoids console now they shoved a pi zero into it.If it can be hacked this could be a really good Arcade emulator.

Considering its proprietary hardware is running fire burn alpha it likely wouldnt take much to have it reading an sd card these days.
I already hate future me for buying this. I can't skip the first ever home release of Progear, 1944 The Loop Master, and AvP. Also Capcom Sports club, but that's more of a curiosity.
But only sixteen fucking games, are you kidding me? Neo Geo Mini has FORTY. I understand the stick setup alone is at least $200. I know because I already have several. I don't need anymore arcade sticks. Why couldn't they have just made a goddamn CPS2 mini? Fucking fuck
The game selection is fantastic (except why DS1? Must emulate better or something)
In fairness anyone who needs to look down to visually check what buttons are where probably isn't the target audience for a €230 machine packed with fast-paced arcade games. If you're playing Street Fighter and trying to locate buttons by eye before pressing them, you're kind of fucked.Nice idea but this looks visually appalling. How are you meant to see the buttons through the logo??
Okay so maybe Capcom is in the clear.
FB Alpha's license may not be valid after all, but then MAME changed the license at one point so it's all about the timing and whether they used more MAME code from after the change...
