Spectrum Vega+

[SueEllen]

I've avoided Indigogo for everything apart from one project that was banned from Kickstarter (no idea why).

If someone complaints it is a knock off of their idea they ban it.

[woohoo]

Only the aux feed if you don't wanna dismantle the dash to get to the back of the ICE if you don't have one provided.

The rest is just routing thin wires behind pillar panels etc.

Ok I'm confused and I also want this.

So, I've got a car with an aux port and an obd2 port. If I connect navdy to the obd2, the phone to to the navdy via bluetooth and the phone to the aux port, will phone calls use the car speaker and is it the navdy that acts as the microphone? Stuppiddddddd questions i know.

Well the utter farce that is Vega+ continues to roll... Indigogo are sending in the Debt collectors it appears.

The unofficial Vega+ page makes for some very grim reading. Absolute incompetence across the board. No one comes out of it smelling of roses. It's unbelievable. Poor old Clive must be absolutely fuming.

Oh dear. Pity. Seems like they've let a lot of people down with this.

Absolutely. So many people willing to put so much money in it would take utter incompetence to fail on it, which they have, spectacularly.

Old type retro games are probably the easiest lot to work with as well. Too much money and are so in love with the past they'll pay quite a bit and suffer many more delays than your average consumer just get one. All that flexibility and Retro sill managed to mess it up. It's pretty unbelievable really.

Plenty of online retro games available via your browser. Compare and contrast with the £150M+ farce that is Star Citizen.

Meanwhile, the ZX Spectrum Next is chugging along just fine - there've been overruns, but of course there have; there always are with these things. But board-only backers have already received their kit, so we have confirmation that the hardware works, and the machine tooling for the cases is almost ready, with weekly updates on the process

While we're in a thread about vapourwear:

The balls they must have to keep rolling out that pile of crap and ignore any questions around capability (they're 'not going to get caught out by that trick question' ). At least this 'demo' version has some lights that work.

Feel free to add to this thread any other products they keep promising yet we know are never going to be delivered.

Vega+ arrives - minimum viable product to avoid fraud charges?

Looks like the 'first' batch of Vega+ handhelds have been delivered to some.

Worth the wait?

At least as it's using an open source emulator (FUSE) you should be able to load all those games you ain't gonna get shipped in the box.

Can't do much with The Hobbit and other classic adventures on a Vega.

Far better with World of Spectrum
