Oh not arguing that at all. There is definitely content, and there is a noticable difference. Just that it's not drastic enough to justify an early adoption. In 2 years you'll be able to get twice the hardware for half the price that's all I'm saying. The smart move is to wait until then.

All you early adapters are crazy imo. Wait a couple years and then get a 4k. There is so little content that actually takes advantage of it, and the content that does is 4x the space (average 4k movie rip is like 80 gb), I see no reason to jump on it atm. 1080p still looks great. It's not like we're talking the jump from 480p to 720p/1080p which was night and day different. It's comparable to people rushing out to grab the Iphone 9 when Iphone SE is just as good. In a few years top of the line qled/oled 4k will be the price of current 2ks. Just buy it then. you didn't NEED the 4k a couple years ago, why do you need it now?

What about NTFS?

I thought it was or maybe just preorder. Could be wrong though. Personally waiting on the Omega to come back in stock anyway.

Ya I agree the NT mini menu is way slick once you get the hang of it. It looks like the only thing holding back the Super NT menu is that blocky font though.

The new darksoft cart is way faster. Would be interesting to see how their implementation compares to a potential Kevtris core, he makes it sound like it's not too complicated.

Nothin can replace the feel of the 2600 joystick sweetness for Atari games imo. Kinda surprised nobody on this site has put a converter out by now. Can't be too hard?

I see, how much work would a potential neo geo core take compared to a genesis one? I hear they are similar somehow?

I think you're just personally obsessed with me.

So ignore me?

Wrong thread kid.

Cuz they are... but you can post your thoughts in that thread if you'd like, seeing as it's a more appropriate place to seek my attention.

Lol...can you even read? I never said Kevtris had started on or had finished Gen/TG16 cores as a matter of fact. Just that they would be available for the Super NT a few months after it's release. I say as a matter of fact the NT mini cores and a fully functioning SNES core (relevant chips anyway) will be available within the first couple of weeks, which they will. But your hallucinations are noted.

ya cuz the NT mini didn't do that...

Because I'm the only person who uses multiple forums, lol. I said smokemonster getting rid of his packs basically means the project is dead, which is true... Time to buy the SD system 3 extension since Kevtris just confirmed the Super NT can't handle it. And to those who continue to think "NT" doesn't mean Nintendo, roflcopter.

Ya cuz Kevtris has never done this before. He probably has the Genesis/PCE cores ready to go already seeing as they're light-years simpler than the SNES. The Neo Geo core is up in the air I will admit. And if it needs a stronger FPGA I'd say this would be a likely target for an Analogue product in the near future. Any potential Genesis reskin A) doesn't require a better FPGA B) would be cannibalized by the people who already bought the Super NT C) could be recreated with a simple cartridge/controller adapter, much like their upcoming DAC. D) has about 20% of the potential market of the SNES to begin with. It's just a bad business decision all around, from a company that has always made the right one.

Kevtris has nothing to do with the Super NT menu. And I agree with a previous poster that the font is terrible, luckily they have that alternate font option. What don't these guys think of? Oh...and Mega NT = Mega Nintendo folks. That makes about as much sense as them releasing a reskined super nt, or Analogue MD, in the first place.

The glitchy boot animation is awesome. One only needs to look to the past to predict the future. The cores are coming, whether you wanna acknowledge it or not.

Ummmm..but the super nt will support genesis so whats the point of another system that does the same thing? there are these things called roms...and cartridge adapters...

It'll have at least the NT Mini cores soon after launch, and pretty much a guaranteed genesis and pc engine/pc engine cd core at some point (first few months, maybe sooner). beyond that is anyones guess. gameboy color is part of the nt mini suite so it'll be in there. gba is too powerful for the fpga (i believe but could be wrong). sega cd not sure of either. there's just a lot of short-sighted pessimists on these boards. it's obvious this will be a repeat of the nt mini. and you will never get a confirmation from analogue or kevtris, they keep this stuff under the radar for a reason. that sd card slot tells you all you need to know... and for those claiming they'll buy another "mega nt" with the same guts for another 200$ just because it has a different controller adapter, you're insane. and "NT" stands for nintendo... i really like the arcade fpga idea that's very cool. the next product from analogue will likely be some kind of portable though. and then in a couple years a next gen all-in-one fpga for the next gen of consoles.

The Cyclone A4 in the Super NT is plenty powerful enough to support Genesis & Neo-Geo, from my understanding. They might release a controller adapter but they're not gonna reskin it and release an entirely new system with the same guts, that's just silly.

Just look at the pictures. It's obvious the 8bitdo version is a garbage copy of the original. The contra test also proves it. I didn't realize how bad the actual button contacts were too. You can't say it's both identical and "different but better" at the same time. It's lazy/bad manufacturing, and in no way an improvement, period.

Thanks for the post, heard about this thing, now the wait for a cheaper solution. Is there a review anywhere? Analogue isn't gonna waste their time on repackaged Super NT FPGA's. That's something garbage companies like Retron do. I doubt programming the CD-Rom core on top of the regular TG16 one is too much of a leap for someone on Kevtris's level but I'm not that well versed on the difference.

The 4 directions have split pads on the original PCBs, so when you're hitting diagonals its say half up and half right. On all the 8bitdo controllers its just right on/off, up on/off. It creates a totally different feel, completely obvious to anyone with even basic experience of the original controllers. You'll hear a lot of complaints about the D-Pad for this reason. It's just lazy/cheap manufacturing, which runs through everything 8bitdo does. But hey, form over function is the new way to go when it comes to electronics ::cough:: cell phones ::cough::, so maybe I'm just a relic.

Anecdotal. The PCB's are all wrong, period.
