Random post #6962 "...NO, your dumb!"

If I can get in on the second round of orders and have one by June at the latest, I could live with that.
The price is definetly right, even not taking into account the inevitable additional cores.

For now, I'll get by with my AVS and Pi. I even went for the 8bitdo SNES30 to go with the Pi! (though the one I recieved is apparently broken/defective... already sent it back. I'll likely go ahead and grab another one as it felt pretty nice at least).

 

I was very close to purchasing an 8bitdo wireless controller. Can you elaborate a little? Thanks!

 

Yes, please. I just returned a defective one without being able to actually use it, and likely to order a replacement.
 

Now can we get a flashcart that plays every game?

The nicest thing with the AVS is that you can have that and a powerpak and be set. The snes still has that pain in the ass that some games you need to buy. I guess I could use the stunt race fx cart as a coaster or something

This plays on my SNES? No? Then they aren’t obsolete in the slightest. 

It's fine that you are excited for it, but you don’t need to be brash about it here and troll superg about it. 

 

I loved mine until I borked it by turning the charger cord the wrong way into the port the in bad lighting, will buy another eventually.

Remember when I said UKWildcats was shilling for the HDMI NES? I take it back. He was just enthusiastic about it.

TuSecy is definitely shilling.  

 

Does this system deserve to be hooked up next to the AVS and the the Switch? It looks and sounds pretty good. It might be 3's company on the console shelf.

Come and knock on my door.

Mine just straight up wouldn't turn on. The only life it showed was a single green LED flash that would occur right after plugging the cable in. Other than that, it was basically a brick.
 

This has 100% full support, regardless of chip.  Makes sd2snes look silly. Can buy a whole 1080p system and have a built in sd2snes with 100% support now for the same price.

Everything, and I mean everything 8bitdo makes is straight up trash.  Best snes solution for pi is the retrousb adapter with a real controller.

You can say I'm shilling for this product, but all I'm doing is trying to give people a heads up so they aren't kicking themselves when these things sell out, and you have to wait another 6 months to get one while they're 400$+ on ebay.  All while people bitch about "scalpers".

Yep. I love my 1-Chip and PVM Setup. I dont think people understand we want to play the original hardware. Forever. A good snes being solid state electronics will last my lifetime.

 

Random response. Suck it!!!
 

So I read the analogue website, but Im not clear on how this makes an everdrive irrelevant? Or how you can play neo geo on it? Am I missing something?

I currently have an AVS and a snes mini + framemeister set up, but this is very interesting to me. I like the single unit set up. The framemeister is great, but it does add input lag and sometimes has some weird graphic anomalies that have been hard for me to figure out.

yes. you are.  (sd card slots plays roms).  neo geo support is still a maybe however.
 

Oh it too has the thing with the SD card reader that the NT mini had? Alright cool.
 

We'll be waiting for...you! Where the consoles hers and hers and his Three Nintendos too!

Wait, wat? Is this an emulator box? ...if so I could use that sumbeetch in my mame cab and my pc/laptop will be obsolete.

Basically with the NT Mini for NES games, Kevtris released a custom firmware and I guess analogue turned a blind eye, since he developed the system in the first place. So with the SD card reader you can load roms from any 8 bit system, no flash carts needed and it'll play. I'm guessing the same thing is expected here
 

if you don't have any other systems (and don't care about analogue output), it's a no brainer switch.  can sell everdrives off too if you have them (or actual games lol).

kevtris has been working on his own product the Zimba 3000 for years and this is basically what cannibalized that project.  it will be the same deal as the nt mini (hacked firmware, roms off sd card).  Analogue actively encourages the hacked firmwares cuz it makes their products sell like crazy, but they can't exactly say this publically for legal reasons.

Well, availability is poor and demand is frothing as a result but we still have to admit that it's all pretty niche. Heck, I just sold a Jungle Green UltraHDMI N64 console for $620 last night.
  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Everdrives and SD2SNES, but I've always thought it was weird that so many people feel this way about them. It's probably because they weren't Earth-shattering for people who had SNES, N64, and Gameboy backup hardware and flashcarts back in the day.  

If anything, I was a bit disappointed in some of the modern solutions as they felt like a step backwards in some ways (using flash/EEPROM even when they used RAM as ROM so many years ago).

Bung Professor SF/Game Doctor 7, Far Front East Super Wildcard DX2, Mr. Backup Z64, Super UFO/Gamestation (now updated with SD card support and sold as the Super UFO Pro 8 flashcart), Doctor V64, etc. Heck, my friend would load N64 games from CD-R (SD card of the late '90s  ) through a PlayStation using Bung MGD^3 series hardware (I eventually bought it off him). The Bung MGD^2 series could do unique/amazing things for a ton of consoles and even supported Neo Geo AES. Take that, NeoSD! At least the Darksoft Neo Multi AES will be a real upgrade.  ​


 

Does the Zimba 3000 not have plans for original carts and controllers? Basically the only reason I'm interested in it is a convenient way to play vintage games like Atari and CV without using RF. Basically everything past NES has RGB output or an easy mod. MiST Computer already plays vintage ROMs. I was hoping for a way to use carts.

I seem to remember some kind of "flash cart" solution for NES back in the late 80s/early 90s. Pretty sure it used 1.4" floppy disks. Some ad in a video game magazine or something.
