WEBVTT -- English

Hello everybody, my name is Marcel de Haan

00:00:16.996 --> 00:00:18.996
and this is the Kickstarter Campaign for the

00:00:18.998 --> 00:00:21.184
STARFORCE PI Electronic Tabletop Mini-Arcade

00:00:21.856 --> 00:00:25.106
This small gaming console is based on the early 1980s

00:00:25.106 --> 00:00:27.222
pre-Nintendo portable videogames

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.972
and it features full-sized microswitch joystick and buttons

00:00:30.248 --> 00:00:33.262
blasting stereo speakers, accurate video playback

00:00:33.311 --> 00:00:35.311
and a durable, portable formfactor.

00:00:35.351 --> 00:00:37.920
It has a modular design, off-the-shelf components

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:40.310
and a Raspberry Pi at the core, which will support

00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:43.301
an impressive library of classic gaming systems

00:00:43.328 --> 00:00:46.167
and even modern 16-bit style retrogames

00:00:46.947 --> 00:00:49.850
I built the first prototype about a year ago

00:00:49.878 --> 00:00:53.152
because I felt there were no decent quality emulator systems

00:00:53.155 --> 00:00:55.831
out there, unless you're willing to buy a bartop mod

00:00:56.014 --> 00:00:58.783
and these are generally quite expensive and very bulky

00:00:59.148 --> 00:01:01.740
So I needed something that had full arcade features

00:01:01.856 --> 00:01:03.856
but was still small enough to move around the house

00:01:03.856 --> 00:01:06.570
put on a desk at work, take on vacation, etc.

00:01:06.992 --> 00:01:09.912
With the help of Hartmut Wendt I was finally able to make

00:01:09.941 --> 00:01:12.191
this 4-button system and from there on

00:01:12.227 --> 00:01:15.090
we decided to explore the possibilites of bringing

00:01:15.106 --> 00:01:17.531
a device like this to Kickstarter

00:01:17.891 --> 00:01:19.891
with some clear, key-features

00:01:20.028 --> 00:01:22.028
%&^*err_MaX_overrrrride

00:01:23.117 --> 00:01:25.117
Sorry, all you He-Man Bookworms

00:01:25.117 --> 00:01:31.168
Get Ready - FOR PI POWER

00:01:55.295 --> 00:02:02.703
ULTIMATE DIMENSION

00:02:02.704 --> 00:02:10.042

SIGN_INTERRUP: Don't get frightened

00:02:12.308 --> 00:02:14.308
I'm only telling them about it, wai-.

00:02:16.342 --> 00:02:18.760
..-our approach to the project, do look at the description

00:02:18.763 --> 00:02:21.506
