It's FPGA, so you could say it's like hardware or logical emulation and not software.Is this hardware or software emulation? Like, is it built like a SNES, or is it running an emulator like the Retron series of consoles?

GOOD ENOUGH!According to Analogue, you should be good, but yours might not ship tomorrow, but maybe in next few days
Can you link to the specific tweet? I've ordered a while back just right after the 1st shipments were sent. I went with the Classic look since the grey and purple is timeless to me.According to Analogue, you should be good, but yours might not ship tomorrow, but maybe in next few days
Yes, in the same way that the nt mini/super nt is "limited" to 1080p in a 4K world, I guess.
Personally, 1080p doesn't matter to me at this point (when it comes to retro gaming, at least). 720p gets scanlines right, H. Interpolation allows you to get the aspect ratio right, and 720p scales evenly to 4K.

Neither :) It's not running a software emulator, which is why all carts with special chips in them, including Super Gameboy which has a whole Gameboy in it, work perfectly. But neither does it have SNES chips in it. Basically, the Super NT has a programmable chip inside it that is programmed to act like the chips in a SNES, creating virtual logic gates and whatnot and running all the virtual chips in parallel. It's kind-of a hardware simulation of the SNES hardware. It's still possible for the results to not be perfect - they have to recreate the internal design of the chips in the SNES, including what happens in undocumented situations when developers do crazy things the hardware wasn't designed to do. But they've been fixing problems with specific games very quickly, and from detailed reviews and tests the Super NT seems roughly as accurate as the most accurate software emulator, Hingan by Byuu (which is way, WAY more accurate than a Retron or a SNES Mini).Is this hardware or software emulation?

What's going on with the saturation of colour, comparing no scaler, to any of the others? They look like they have completely different colours? Was not like that before....
According to the official thread on nintendoage it sounds like the horizontal interpolation could use some work. Most of the feedback seems to be that it didn't help or that shimmering still exists.. I'd like to see some video comparisons that show it enabled and disabled to judge for myself though.
Yes, the RGB -> YUV -> RGB conversion was the problem and Kevtris said he has no plan to fix HQ(2-4)x scalers at the moment, because the conversion is needed for those scalers to save memory, so there is no easy/quick fix.For the HQX scalers Kevtris had to convert RGB to YUV. This was how it looked since the original firmware 3.9. Only since 4.3 has he added RGB bypass for no Scaler and 2 - 3x scale which outputs correct SNES RGB colors.
I just bought a copy of Stunt Race FX so that's good to know.Here are my Super FX and SA-1 games, all working with Super NT.
Still need to grab Kirby Dream Land 3, but the prices right now are keeping me from it.
- Dirt Trax FX
- DOOM
- PGA Tour '96
- PGA European Tour
- Star Fox
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
- Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
- Stunt Race FX

WAT!?
February 12th. I can't imagine this was part of the second batch since they started shipping those units today?
It had to be part of the second batch. They probably shipped out early to Europe to get them there on time. Did you receive a shipping notice or anything? I think something similar happened during the first round.February 12th. I can't imagine this was part of the second batch since they started shipping those units today?
I'm in Europe.
I think you might be right. Ship date is listed as the 26th so that actually was exceptionally fast.It had to be part of the second batch.

I think I ordered on the 12th as well but I am in Canada.
Edit: It was the 15th, but still. That gives me hope I might have it before the weekend or at least on Monday.
Did your NT shipping status update at all or does it still say "order accepted"? How did you find out your ship date?I think you might be right. Ship date is listed as the 26th so that actually was exceptionally fast.
No shipping update for me. It just showed up today with no warning.Did any of the people that received their second batch order actually get an update before it showed up or are they dropping the ball on that front again?
Yep, what I figured.No shipping update for me. It just showed up today with no warning.
They have been retweeting people receiving them yet they say nothing. I have noticed it's only Black units. I wonder if they had a lot of extras of those and needed to clear some.Round 2 orders are being delivered? Analogue have not announced anything on twitter.. whats going on o_O
The total commodity value is listed as 10 dollars in the invoice. I don't know a whole lot about customs in the UK (or anywhere else) but I think you might be fine.Did anyone from the UK get stung with customs charges? And if so, how much?
I ordered my black one on the 8th. I waaaaaants it.They have been retweeting people receiving them yet they say nothing. I have noticed it's only Black units. I wonder if they had a lot of extras of those and needed to clear some.
Mine shipped from Las Vegas.

Edit 2: A few people seem to have their units. One in Austria and another that might be in the US.
Yep.Did they remove the order buttons on the official site? Was checking for a friend on mobile.
Black is showing available for pre order on my phone.

It's showing for me again. Must have been down for a short while.
Ohh. I am on ups mychoice but I think they go with dhl for Canada.My second shipment NT shipped today to be delivered tomorrow. No email by Analogue but UPS my choice let me know.
What's this I'm reading about scanlines being bad at 1080p? I don't know much about scanline filters but I wanted to try it.
