With all the ModRetro/Analogue 3D stuff being talked about, I can't help but think that all of these types of products are mainly meant for two kinds of people: Tech YouTubers, and normies. The former so they can make videos that are interesting on it, and the latter because they don't know any better and want things to be as simple as possible. If I want to play an N64 game as accurately as possible, I'm going to just use the N64 I bought for $50 at a retro game store with an Everdrive/Summer Cart on a CRT. If I want to play with an upscaled resolution and don't mind the possibility of some minor issues here and there, I'll emulate the game on my PC. These consoles serve absolutely no purpose to me and have always felt like overbuilt gimmicks to capitalize on nostalgia.
software emulation on modern hardware is basically a non issue even for modern cosoles (shockingky enough)
the only reason why the analogue would be interesting is purely for looking on how the entire cpu replication layer is thrown in the fpga and how thats used in tandem with ither hardware
@theorytoe @WandererUber yeah and that more or less falls in the "tech youtuber" category, like i'd watch a video on that shit but i don't care about buying the product to play games on.
