Hey Everyone, Have any of you been following the Ouya? It's a little console that runs Android software. It just came out. It will accept blue tooth, has an HDMI out and a couple USB ports. You can go online wirelessly and download games, and it'll run some emulators. Oh, and it's $99 and it comes with a controller. To me, this got my brain going right away. It seems perfect for MAME machines. It's the size of a rubic's cube and if you got blue tooth controls, it seems like a lot of potental. Today on their Twitter feed, they showed a photo of it running Mario Bros. http://mynintendonews.com/2013/03/25/ouya-to-launch-with-nintendo-64-snes-and-nes-emulation-support/ What do you guys think? |

From what I have seen it is awful. The interface and specs make it really clunky and the controller has significant lag. |

Seems better than what I have seen. I subscribe to giantbomb and they tore it apart. The concept sounds awesome, and the ability to side load roms is awesome. I wonder if there is a way to bypass the front end right into mame? |

I have one. The controls are solid and the unit feels very well built. The fan is near silent. The games in the app story have a definite indie feel to them. As for emulators, they aren't the greatest front end and perhaps sideloading a different emulator would help. My biggest gripe though is I can't seem to remap the controls and this is a big deal since the nintendo controller is setup backwards (A and B buttons) than I remember. The bluetooth has a great range and no visible lag. I recommend it if your intention is to play NES and SNES and at $99 it's a bargain. |
