Analogue 3D

In case you haven’t already seen, Analogue have announced their next FPGA console, which will be their take on an N64 supporting 4K output.

This will be awesome, shame I was burnt by Analogue and won't be playing their games. There business model is all kinds of wrong.

Agreed! There model appears to just be limited runs and cashing in on FOMO. Why announce they are no longer making the SG and NT as there still seems to be a market for them, no doubt they will announce a limited run or special addition next year

I'd hold off for now. Between this and the MiSTer core (and upcoming MARS FPGA device) I wonder how worthwhile some of the HDMI mods will be (although I feel there is still a place for them for hardcore original hardware enthusiasts).

Also, there is a lot of work going towards ADC features on the RetroTINK 5x Pro and upcoming 4K that are bridging gaps between analogue inputs and these digital mods! It might be worth checking out some of the efforts going into console profiles on RT4K.

I'm sure cleanest possible output will always be HDMI mod to an upscaler, but in terms of value for money ADC adjustments can produce amazing results.

Thanks for sharing, I found the video really interesting.

Am I right to assume you could plug a MiSTer HDMI out in to the RT4K and upscale up to 4K?

So the MiSTer does all the console scaling up to 1080p and then the RT4K scales that signal to 4K?

 

[Zaf]

Yeah, it will allow input upto 1080p to be scaled to 4K (I believe - Don't quote me entirely on that).

Nice! I know I’ve hijacked my own thread a bit here but, I see this being a better investment if you’ve already got a MiSTer than buying the Analogue 3D.

I’m really keen to see where the MARSFPGA is going; 4K, all previous cores and Dreamcast plus Naomi (fingers crossed) if they do succeed with Dreamcast, what’s next PS2 and GameCube maybe?

Funnily enough, I said earlier in the thread that I would buy this regardless. My N64 packed in a while back (powersupply by the look of things). The N64 core seems really good, although few potential problems. I am questioning if I really want to purchase this but know I'll get a serious case of FOMO if I don't!

But you have a MiSTer...

I was thinking the same and decided I would be better off spending the money on a Morph4K instead....

It does look dam sexy though!
