The Vega Plus, is a crowdfunded and ongoing pocess. The
specifications as at this moment that are available as follows:
(ANY update to the specs I will try to update ASAP)
Features of the Vega+
The Vega+ is very simple to operate. Just switch on and start to
play, either on the built-in colour LCD or plug in a suitable
cable and connect it to your TV (PAL or NTSC). The 1,000
licensed games are easily accessed through a menu based system
and load immediately and automatically, taking you directly into
the game play mode. When you wish to play another game, simply
press the reset button and this takes you back to the main menu.
Nothing could be simpler.

Nice summary, thanks for that! Lets not forget, its on paper
only still. So hoping real machine will confirm most of the
features are there. Redefinable keys directly on device is more
than welcome for me, as 1st Vega does not have that and it was a
pain without it. Hoping, everything promised will be there
/basic mode, etc/

I missd out on the first Vega. I'm as anxious and enthusiastic
as everyone to know what the actual specs will be like. For me I
think a dedicated bluetooth would set this console off big time.
Not being technologically upp to date with this kinda thing but
with a USB port would a bluetooth dongle, like this work and
connect, or will it not be the correct USB port?
