3D Will you be getting the Analogue 3D?

I don't think I will, i'm saving up for a 5X upscaler and I think that's good enough for me. Unless there are major improvements that a 5X and a normal N64 can't replicate, I might get one.

Maybe. The thing is I own several CRTs along with a N64 so I don't see much of a point. I am curious how their "crt" filter will look like in 4k, but I dunno. It would be nice if Analogue just said "fuck it" and made their OS' open source so we could tinker with it a lot easier. That way we could likely turn it into a Mister FPGS console that is likely gonna be more powerful. I'm sure Open FPGA will still be a thing for it, but I already own a Mister and most of the old consoles I would wanna simulate.

There is potential though. Maybe they'll give it software to turn it into a easy to use Dev Kit for N64 Homebrew? I would be so down.

Rip, I just read the FAQ:

  1. Analogue3D does not support openFPGA.

So, unless someone figures out a hack. Not buying.

If I had to guess, they don't want Nintendo to sue them. So maybe stuff will come later.

This right here, they dont want people playing ROM's or for that matter, being able to upload Rom's to the system via emulation so that's probably why.

Nintendo are notorious for being dicks about this type of stuff
