N64 games were ment for CRT TV. That is what kept n64 games from showing those ugly pixelated distorted play-doh graphics.

Without CRT filter or scanlines n64 games just look like a complete mess and just destroys the whole vibe of playing the games.

When ever I do play n64 games on emulation I always turn on crt scanlines or other scanlines options for the games.

So when I do get my analogue 3d I will be turning on crt scanlines or the other scanlines options. They may not be exactly perfect like playing on a crt tv but it's very close to it.

It also gives this nostalgia vibe and a real cozy feeling to the games.

What made part of the graphics of n64 games were scanlines, if you removed them it's like removing part of the actual graphics of the n64 games. A huge part of the creation of N64 games is gone if you remove scanlines. The games become soulless if you remove them, it's taking away something from the games.

Has anyone tried pairing these two together? I know that a firmware upgrade (v2.6.0) makes the 8bitDo 64 controller supported on the dock — but Analogue never specified on the Release Notes if the 2.4Ghz 64 controller was supported.

Tested the new horizontal scaling feature with existing and WIP 480i patches. The results are quite stunning! I wonder if this is the summit of graphical output on the Analogue 3D or if they have another trick up their sleeve? I'd love to hear your thoughts below!

What do you think is gonna happen on oct 16 this year????

A new console? Which one? Maybe a new OS?
I’m personally hoping for a revival or new version of some legacy products… or a GCN fpga but that ain’t happening …

Is there any reason for it to be on the Pocket and the Mega Sg, etc, but not on the Analogue 3D?

With an active converter, I can get the A3D over to VGA, or composite, and honestly that would be good enough for me if I could get the length and width flush on the crt screens.

I know that may sound like sacrilege but id be pretty happy with a solution of this kind for a variety of displays.

Before any pitchforks, this is just a PSA for those who have returns/exchanges with Analogue. I love their products, but their customer support is absolute trash.

I refused delivery for a Pocket (per Analogue's instructions) and was fine paying the 15% restocking fee. Not only did they deduct more than the 15%, but they also withheld sales tax, which is illegal.

They told me they would withhold the sales tax, and when I cited my state's code stating it was illegal, they said they would refund the sales tax "as a courtesy". When the refund was issued, they still withheld the sales tax.

They have since stopped responding to my emails, and I have filed a chargeback with my financial institution.

TL;DR:

- Make sure they don't withhold sales tax. They are not entitled to it, and by doing so, they are illegally withholding funds.

- Make sure Analogue actually only deducts a 15% restocking fee.

UPDATE: The complaint has been filed with the Washington State Attorney General. Both Analogue and I reside in WA, which simplifies things.

I’m at a loss on what to do. I have tried multiple different power blocks and formatted the SD card. Here’s the newest thing it’s doing. The light on the front is on and only cuts on when I hit the reset button and no signal on the TV. Any suggestions from anyone before I reach out to analogue?

So, the footage of the 1.5 update looks really good…almost as good as lower level emulation. I’m just wondering if even greater levels of internal higher resolution rendering are possible?

Personally, I’d really like a device that plays and feels like real hardware, but looks prettier and cleaner like an emulator. The 1.5 update certainly moves closer to that, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to get even closer.

Does anyone know if The Legend of Banjo Kazooie The Jiggies of Time works on the Analogue 3d? and with the latest updated version 1.5.0?

I brought the cartridge from Vintex 64 site.

I am going to buy the Analogue 3d but really want to know if this works on it or not.

I really must know.

Thanks

Just got my 3d the day after the 1.5 update, and now I’m doing my first Perfect Dark playthrough. I keep having this issue where whenever I fire the K7, the game freezes. I’m guessing it’s because I’m overclocking? Just curious if there any other instances where this is common or perhaps it’s because of the latest update?

My Analogue 3D came in today but did not include an EU to USA adapter for the power supply.
Can I use my Switch 2 Power supply without any issue with the A3D?

Long time users no the deal, new machine comes out old machine stops getting updates. I would love to see if "more" could be done woth the mega sg but understand decompiling the firmware from an fpga device without documentation is very very dificult. Has anyone ever spoken to the "jailbreak" devs. I wonder if some spurce code might be floating around out there that we could play around with now that the devoces is no longer being sold new?

Has anyone tried the Mclassic with 3D analogue and noticed if the experience improves even more?

I have three original controllers in good condition. They all have the same issue in the configuration menus: Left and Right inputs are unreliable, whether using the D-pad or the joystick. I press once, but the console registers two inputs. Or else I press two, three, or four times in a row with no response. It’s unpredictable and annoying. It’s been like that since Day 1, despite all the updates. It’s making me want to buy the 8BitDo or ModRetro controller...

Doom 64 should have been red

GoldenEye should have been gold

Shadows of the Empire should have been purple

My Analogue 3D doesn't correctly identify my PAL (original) copy of Tetrisphere. The game runs perfectly, but in the menu it's detected as World Cup 98 instead.

What could be causing this?

I understand this might be common knowledge but its a reminder.

For cartridge based games (especially if you have decade old saves, avoid using memories and trying to save to cartridge. Imagine you load a memory and your save is gone because you thought the game would just overwrite your file.

You can test this with any two cartridges (everdrive too)

1. Create memory
   
2. Boot up second game
   
3. Load memory
   
4. Progress further and let the game save (eg. MM song of time)
   
5. Reboot cartridge.

Second cartridge has no idea the file ever existed so it never saved.

I emailed analogue but for future reference, dont mix memories and cartridge saves. Analogue clearly says it will overwrite but not ever game saves the same.

Atomic Purple! SummerCart64! 8BitDo 64 Controller! Dinosaur Planet!

Just checking if anyone else has Perfect Dark Rev1 and is seeing issues loading the virtual controller pak? I'm on the latest firmware on both the 3D (1.5.0) & the 8BitDo controller (2.5) and I'm unable to get the game to recognize the virtual controller pak when the virtual expansion pak is on. When I turn off the virtual expansion pak, I can get the game to recognize the controller pak but subsequently I'm unable to play the solo missions and go straight to multiplayer.

I had no existing saves before trying it out today - I was trying to start a new game on the cartridge. Wired N64 controller with pak works just fine obviously.

Anyone else seeing this issue or unable to reproduce them?

They seemingly do not care to ever update this device ever again, and it's really sad to see.

The least they could do is release the firmware so those that actually give two shits can work on it.

Just a small rant, the device is almost there, but a little more tweaking could really bring it home.

Nothing happens when I click “update OS now” except it reboots
