I wouldn't hold out for anything if I were you. It's unlikely hardware will ever be made especially considering the current console hardware situation of 2 of the major players doing only decent and the other struggling. Adding a 4th player means it or one of the others is going to flat out crumble and more than likely it'll be the DC2 since Nintendo has it's first party to carry it, Xbox has a strong NA fanbase, and PS is killing it right now.

Also this is supposed to be an emulator system for the Dreamcast and at most get 3rd party support of current-gen games. But the hardware choices were absolutely awful early on, but with Pascal and Polaris launching there's a good deal of power that can be had for the console, and with Maxwell soon to be dropping around 30% or more as they're phased out they can easily scoop up some old parts from the 750 ti and up, and build a solid console as well.

They should simply build a cheap $299 entry PC-console with a FX 6300 and a 750 ti (for TDP) or R7 260 (for performance), run a custom Android / Linux OS, so emulators can run on it, and it's still just powerful enough to run current 3rd party games on mid-settings with solid fps (pretty much parity to PS4).

It's either that or build a super cheap APU system for $199 which would work as well simply because of the entry price.

Easily most underrated system ever. Way ahead of its time in every way. 3 words....phantasy star online (drops mic)

I wish I had never let the dream cast go... Wish I could still turn it on and play skies of Arcadia. Or powerstone

More 3rd party games, I can't wait ;)
