Polymega announces support for 2 new vintage CD consoles - 3DO? Jaguar CD? PC-FX?
Good news for Polymega users. Alongside the announcement of the Polymega Remix last week, Playmaji slipped some information that caused a lot of talk:
📣The official announcement
Via their official Twitter account, Polymega posted:“This isn’t specific to the Remix, but we have ns two brand-new vintage CD systems loaded and ready that will be supported on both the Base Unit and the App. More details to come.” >As a reminder, the Polymega already supports an impressive number of CD consoles: PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Sega CD/Mega CD, TurboGrafx-CD/PC-Engine CD and Neo Geo CD. The 2 newcomers will be added to this list.
🔍 The candidates according to the community
The word “vintage” used by Pl aymaji gives a few clues - we're talking about old, rare systems, probably machines that few players have been able to approach. The community quickly began speculating:
- 3DO - the big favorite. CD console from 1993, already partial support in many emulators, substantial games library. The community has hoped for this for a long time on Polymega.
- Jaguar CD - the CD add-on for the Atari Jaguar, produced in very limited quantities. Atari (Wade Rosen) is close to Playmaji, which makes this choice plausible.
- NEC PC-FX - Japanese CD console from 1994, completely unknown outside Japan. Complete units are trading around $500 on auction sites.
- FM Towns Marty - Japanese CD computer/console from Fujitsu. A unit in condition can exceed $1,000 at auction. Support would be a real revolution for preservation.
- Commodore CD32 - Amiga's CD console, released in 1993 mainly in Europe. Popular in the Amiga community.
- Bandai Playdia and Apple Pippin - more exotic, but never say never with Playmaji. < /ul>
💡 Why it’s important
The Polymega is positioned as the ultimate solution for playing your retro CD collection without spending on fragile original equipment. Adding rare systems like PC-FX or FM Towns is offering a window of access to game libraries practically inaccessible otherwise. Playmaji promises to reveal both systems soon.
