No. The Spartan is not endorsed by Sega. This project serves to build a working prototype to propose to Sega. In turn, entice them to come back to the console hardware market with a current gen console.

Sonic 4K is a fan made tech demo. It will not be sold for commercial purposes.

For now we are not relying on crowd funding for development of the prototype. There is no specific date when this could happen because there are many obstacles to overcome.

Unfortunately, this information can't be given out yet. But we do aim to have it somewhere between the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X.

The console can currently play games from the Game Gear, Master System, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast through software/hardware emulation. But only when the system is endorsed by Sega, there will be an online store which will allow you to download your favourite titles directly to your Spartan console. There are plans to make specialised drives to read Dreamcast and Saturn games in the future. But that is only in the future.

No. The Spartan console is a completely new project built from scratch and is not run by anyone that was involved in Project Dream. Fortunately, the creators of Project Dream have been kind enough to help get word out about the Spartan console. We all share the same passion and love for Sega.

No, Libretro and RetroArch are not used on the Spartan in any way, shape, or form.

SpartanOS is based off of a Linux-based operating system. The only closed source code on this system is the proprietary Spartan Client software.

Note that SpartanOS will only support the Spartan console hardware.

You bet. We're working to get a software development kit prepared to be part of our proposal to Sega. An announcement will be made closer to the time.
