Open source hardware for retro game player

Add slots / readers for a few more classic gaming system cartridges, like 8-bit NES/Famicom, Super NES, N64, Sega Master System, Genesis, and Mega Drive. AND also add matching (dual) ports for the respective game console gamepads / joysticks so that it would allow you and a friend to use the original game controllers, then it could be a success on Kickstarter!

Such a complete device with XBMC support could easily compete with RetroN 5 by Hyperkin even at a premium price

You could possible also get some great ideas from Retrode since their USB reader is actually closer to what your module will be. Might therefor be a good idea to contact retrode.org and ask if they would be willing to partner with you to create a such module together

PS: Kickstarter is a normally a better launch platform than Indiegogo for getting noticed.
