Analogue Super nt

Agreed! I would really like one of these as well. :)

Even though the Cyclone 5 FPGA can do nearly all 16-bit era consoles and be re-programmed, I would much prefer to buy one system for each console and have a nice collection, just need to save up some money first!

If they re-release the Analogue NT at a cheaper price point like this then I might have to save up and buy one of each!

Either that or when they release the Mega SG - get that one and the Super NT - these were when my console interest kicked in as I was a C64 / Amiga guy before then.

Edit: I mean kid before then! lol - luckily my dad bought me and my brother a C64 then we upgraded to a 2nd hand Amiga A500.
 
Bit of a necro...but with the announcement of the + versions of this and the SG I am interested.

I missed out on the original launches so I see this as a second chance. I'm assuming people in this thread have had years of use from these by now, so I ask..... Are they worth the plunge? I was thinking of getting either, or both honestly. Not quite sure!
 
Wouldnt it be cheaper and more authentic to buy and original Megadrive / SNES / other device and a good quality cable to connect it from retrogamingcables ?

I do already have a Megadrive, no SNES though. The thing I like about these "remake" devices is that they'll probably last me until I die, lol. I can't see the Megadrive or SNES lasting for more decades. But who knows?

I've had a few older consoles over the years, the only ones that seem to not do well over time is the once with CD drives. I think i've had something like 5 PS1 CD drives die / work intermittently. Turning it on it's side used to help.
SNES, Megadrive, N64s all worked great.

The analogue devices have a lot of options for example the Super NT can play any region game, it upscales to 480P,720P,1080P, you can add CRT scan lines, add frame buffer. I haven't looked into it that much but they do a lot more than just scale the picture.

It might depend on what you have already to play those games. I'm intrigued to see how the + models differ from the older ones. Outside of USB C and built in wireless connectivity, what is the OS and how different will it be to the original Analogue consoles.

I am surprised they didn't use this as a chance to launch 4K versions of the NT and SG. Maybe they'll do that in a few years time?
 
I’m keen to know how much better the experience is than using a MiSTer FPGA. I love my Analogue 3D and it’s definitely a better experience for N64, but for the 16-bit consoles I’d love to hear experiences.

From what I understood the older MiSTer core wasn't amazing accuracy-wise but it did the job, the newer MiSTer core is pretty good. I think it was mainly the sound that was an issue with the older ones.

Personally, I have always preferred playing on the Mega SG, it looks nice in any set up as well. It isn't without issues though, accuracy is definitely not 100%. You can only play Mega CD games with the expensive Everdrive/Terraonion cartridges, it is also a faff (and expensive) if you want to play 32x games, the latest firmware doesn't work with the 32x or Paprium. So you have a choice between quite a few fixes and other games.

What I will say. Anyone that knows the Mega Drive / Genesis in general will know the different revisions have their own set of issues / advantages and disadvantages. It isn't exactly the perfect system anyway :).

I'm not sure on the NT, but like the SG it looks nice and plays really well from what I can tell.

The older Analogue consoles do not have much in terms of enhancements, basic scanlines / smoothing etc. The 3D is really special.

If you already have a MiSTer, it isn't going to do anything more than what you have, just a bit different (if that makes sense). Also, the MiSTer has some nicer scanline options and can output slightly higher resolutions as well.

I am intrigued to see what additional features the + systems may add.

I had this one - https://www.reddit.com/r/Megadrive/comments/1528061/i_can_barely_hold_my_excitement_i_got_a_model_1/

Along with this scart and headphone jack - https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk...1-stereo-rgb-av-scart-cable-tv-lead-pro-build

Id be interested if anything Mister or emulation came close to that for sound and picture on a 32" Sony Trinitron CRT. I still remember firing up Mortal Kombat 2 with the sound up how great it sounded and Ecco with its funky side scrolling intro and sound.

I think some of the Mega Drive / Genesis models suffer a bit from jailbars and interference / sound issues. I personally don't have nostalgia for the model 1, as I grew up with a model 2 :). But hearing the difference between a stock Model 2 and one with a 3BP mod is insane, I would imagine the 3BP is on a similar level / same as the Model 1.

You'll get a super clean image from the SG, but soundwise, it is hard to say. Probably close but not an exact match? The Analogue console has different settings for the sound, but it is not like an option for the different models/revisions, you have sliders with different settings, which probably bring it close. FireBrandX is the guy to watch for that sort of stuff, he did a walkthrough tutorial on the Mega SG with the best settings.
 
I appreciate this isn't the right forum but I am looking to list for sale my original boxed super nt that has been used very very infrequently. Could people help me establish how much I should post it for?

I'm going to try losing it on ocuk for sale forums first.

With a restock, not as much as before? You may want to ask in the MM price checking forum. Maybe check ebay sold listings but given the new one is coming out and will probably cost say 250 once you factor in import/shipping? :)

What colour is the NT? :)

Its a black one, on ebay the black one is listed for £475 - £500, which doesn't seem reasonable given the new one is coming in Dec. Would a sensible £225 on ocuk forums be sensible? I can't give it away but don't want to be greedy.

I don't know if I can say outside of MM so please no ban :D

But I personally think £180 is probably fair when you factor in how much a new one will cost and can still be preordered. The biggest problem with eBay, it can be so random at times. I'd base more on the sold items, but it is so early with the newly announced models being fresh.

The restock will have improvements over the originals (and who knows may be worse or better in other areas).

I'd hold on to it personally, especially if you planned on buying the new one?
 
Id personally fling it on ebay for 99p no reserve. Let it ride, i'm sure it'll hit £200+
Make sure you get good photos of device and all packaging, include receipts etc.
