Looks cool with 4k upscaling support. We’ll have to see about price, since we have the Mister and the upcoming Mars to compare it to.

    Analogues consoles complement a mister, if you want a system that will play your games, and look good on your big flat screen tv then analogue do very very well

    if you want more than that, sure a mister works but it’s a lot more effort and work, especially if you are not familiar with linux.

    different products for different kinds of people.

      There’s a decent amount of mister kit sites that sell a complete set up. As far as having to know Linux I’m not sure it’s any more than you would for transferring roms to a sd card. Another thing mister has going for it is you can buy these preassembled “kits” today. Every time I get my eyes set on an Analogue system they sell out immediately and go onto eBay for much higher prices. Misteraddons today I can buy a complete set up (with a sd card pre-flashed) for ~$550.

      I would be 100% all about analogue if I could buy a system. That being said maybe it’s just because I am interested in NES/SNES so those are the higher demand systems. I have a Mister but actually play more on my modded NES.

      Like you said different products for different folks but I don’t think the barrier to entry for mister is very high anymore.

      We’ll see how Mars compares when that is released. The UI looks a lot more polished compared to the Mister.

      I will argue most people buying these consoles will eventually want to play more than just original carts, which means more setup either via a jailbreak or everdrive. I’d say both of those are not any more difficult to set up than a prebuilt Mister.

      Couldn’t you just use an everdrive cartridge? Those can hold roms and even the actual N64 can use it.

        Didn’t know about that. Any way, I don’t think I’m the target audience for this device.

      Agreed, even with the eventual “jailbreak” it would have to be priced around that. I think it will be more expensive since the N64 core is pretty large and it is supposed to support 4k.

    At the bottom of the page “Analogue 3D does not support openFPGA 2”. Unless this comes in at a competitive price Mister or Mars are a much better value proposition unless you’re a die hard cart user.
