RetrogamerX Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I know about analogue nt mini and RetroUSb AVS, but they are very expensive opinions. Any cheap nes clones work with the everdrive n8? I hear a lot of them like hyperskin hd don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leods Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Do you want to plug through HDMI? If so, the retro USB is the cheapest option that's not crap. These other clones are upscaling composite with questionable palettes, lack of scaling options, bad sound, etc.. On top of that, all modern clones I know of in the market are reported not to work with the Everdrive. You know, cause they're all crap... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would like HDMI, but wanted something under $80 at least. Getting a RetroUSB AVS to the UK would be a lot of money.

dj_convoy Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The Retron 3 ran it okay (with some sound issues). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Super Retro Trio works with it, but Super Retro Trio itself is not good. Audio issues and just an awful color palette. Maybe their HDMI versions are better, but the composite ones are just brutal. The HDMI ones have the same NoaC as the composite/S-Video ones.

Not interested in the composite version. Apparently No HDMI clone console other then Analogue nt mini or RetroUSB AVS work with Everdrive N8. Just wanted a cheap HDMI clone to play by N8 on. Doesn’t look like I’ll get that option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetrogamerX Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 So do you have two accounts that you use to talk to yourself, or what. my son on the other account. He feels the same as I do. We've been looking for a clone everdrive console together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) If you don't have an Everdrive yet, you can consider getting a MiSTer FPGA. It plays quite a lot of NES games and you can get away with just using the bare board ($130) plus the SDRAM expansion (about $25). That would cost you roughly half of a RetroUSB AVS plus the Everdrive, and give you very good HDMI output.

Assuming he doesn't have an EverDrive already, otherwise it's only $30 more and a much more faithful simulation of the NES than the MiSTer at this point in time.

leods Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is kinda sad, but there really isn't a middle of the road product. It's a known issue too. Either you go for a Super Retro Trio that will have lag, sound issues, Color palette issues and low quality video output, or ou go withh the AVS. There's basically nothing else out there. Theoretically Analogue could make an NES clone that costs less than the AVS, since their SNT uses higher end stuff and costs about the same. I ny dreams I want to recommend you to just buy a Super NT and forget about the everdrive, but you don't live in my dreams, so yeah... Seriously. Instead of getting any of these crap clones to use with an everdrive you should get a raspberry pi. I am not saying the pi is the be all end all of NES gaming. I'm just saying it's still less crap than these NOaC crap consoles out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Everdrive N8 and about 15 NES carts between me and my son. We've looked high and low for a cheap alternative, but sadly were having no luck. Looks like I might just get a AVS, but wished there were a cheaper console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Emulation may not be perfect but it's objectively better than any clone console outside of the FPGA-based ones. You can get NES-style USB controllers and adaptors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
