I haven't said that they were perfect, just that the work done was impressive (and the pce core, coming from the mist, is actually prety good even if it's still lacking cd support (or was anyway))
If it makes you feel any better it's $15 for shipping from Seattle to Seattle for me, lol. I think they're just passing all the shipping cost to the buyer rather than subsidizing it like a large retailer with existing supply chains could. I agree though, $50 is pretty steep. On the plus side I have read of people in EU countries getting products from Analogue in around 2 days. So they seem to be fast at least.
They've announced they will be releasing a DAC that will output rgb, component, s-video, and composite video along with analog audio.
If it's a DN10 board you can add the analog rgb out through a daugther board that connects on the gpio port.
For anybody who already owns an 8bitdo SN/SF 30 2.4G controller and is hoping to use it on a Super Nt, I don't think it's going to be compatible.
This is what you'll own at the moment, it says 2.4G Wireless Controller on the front.
To use a 8bitdo controller with a real SNES you'll need the 8bitdo Retro Receiver but on the Retro Receiver page it says that it's not compatible with the above controller.
On the Analogue Super Nt they advertise a controllerwith the same nameand the pre-order page for it on Amazon gives it a launch date of February 1st 2018. Now although this controller has the same name you'll notice that the writing is a different colour and it actually says Bluetooth Controller under the logo, which is compatible with the Retro Receiver.
Although 8bitdo haven't been very clear about the two versions of that controller, it seems that if you already own one and we're hoping to use it on the Super Nt, you're not going to be able to. I have visions of people getting their console at launch unboxing it and they're just not going to be able to use it because they don't have a compatible controller.
Just thought it was worth pointing that out incase somebody here already owns one and thinks that it's going to work.
Would this be part of the reason we haven't seen any reviews yet? Is there an implication that this may not be a good value?
130$ is the base unit price. Wholesale volumes are much cheaper. The NT is 190$ without a controller. Adding SFC controller ports and a cart slot should make the margins rather good.
The price was significantly higher
Just double checked and it says $54.72 for "DHL Express 2", which was the more expensive option. I can't remember how the payment went though, did it ask whether we wanted to pay in dollars or pounds or could it simply be because of differences in the exchange rates when we ordered?
I've been thinking the exact same thing lol. I know, according to kevtris, that hasn't developed that thus far, but this is so teasing....
Once jaibroken we'll get (albeit uncomplete) PCE and Genesis cores
It's using the same FPGA as the MISTer. While the board may be different, I believe adapting the existing cores shouldn'T be too difficult
Gamesack posted this on twitter they must have an early copy.
The board is sold for educational purposes at 99$ and for personal use (so single board) at 130
