This page? This is what they refer to when they say you can make your own. https://support.analogue.co/hc/en-us/articles/115000923948-Using-Analog-Video-output-with-the-Nt-mini

I do wish the output was broken out individually instead of through that VGA plug but oh well. Monoprice sells pretty cheap cables if anyone is curious about what cables to buy. Analogue lists them as an option for use with the DAC. Retro access has a VGA to scart cable listed and would probably be able to make whatever you want (like VGA to component or whatever, really) but they are more in line with their other offerings as far as price and quality. I assume ebay has chinesium stuff as well. https://support.analogue.co/hc/en-us/articles/360033732531-Analog-Video-Cables-for-Analogue-DAC I wish this cable below worked but it doesn't with the Nt Mini and probably won't with the DAC I am guessing. When using many models of PVM with the recommended monoprice cables you have to leave one of the sync cable just dangling which I don't like but this 4 BNC connector cable doesn't work. I assume it is the way the sync is wired. One person says it is an RGBS cable which I thought the Nt Mini could support: https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=301&cp_id=10203&cs_id=3010604&p_id=568&seq=1&format=2#QuestionsandAnswers

No I didn't get anything this time and there isn't anything listed under credits for this purchase either. I did notice that extra long USB tip as well on the Genesis controller and it is the same on the Saturn controller. On a side note I also got one of the NES dogbone DIY kits and it works fine but the charge ports is super loose in it. Like that little round plug was not designed for it at all. It moves around A LOT especially when inserting and removing the cable.

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd chime in and say that 8bitdo's new Saturn DIY kits work with the Retrobit controllers. Fit is exact. The only issue is that the microsd plug doesn't quite fit. The hole of the retrobit controller must be slightly smaller than an original controller (I do not have an original controller to compare). A small file was needed to open each side of the hole ever so slightly to fit the micro usb plug. You might be able to wiggle/force it into place but I didn't want to try so I just filed each side slightly. It's actually so close I could see some not needing modification due to slight manufacturing variances like with how the USB plug is soldered to the board or whatever. You can see my before and after filing pictures below. Was really easy with just a small file set from home depot. I used the Saturn controller with the Saturn plug as well. I am not sure if the inside of the Saturn controller with the USB plug is the same or not.

You don't need that riser do you?

Oh, maybe a Gameboy and an 8 bit system? (Though Analogue 8 wouldn't really go with their other console names if it was like a new Nt Mini) Maybe people who are more creative than me will come up with some better ideas. I am excited to know what people think these could be.

If the signal coming out of the Analogue systems is compatible with pretty much any TV wouldn't it kind of have to support other HDMI devices? I have no clue but it would be pretty cool. It would be so cool to use this with the GBAConsolizer.

I am sure the adapters will come eventually. June 5th Analogue tweeted this out to someone "We’ll have an update on these soon. They are being produced currently. " That tells, me at least initially, they will have a finite amount of them rather than an open pre-order type thing the way they did with the Mega SG and Super NT. Who knows if they will continue production runs or if it's a one and done sort of thing. They are pretty slow/bad about giving that kind of information to their customers (It's been two months since their June 5th tweet to a single person about an update coming soon, LOL). I will treat them as if they are going to have a single production run and try to order them immediately. It took forever for them to admit the NT Mini is basically never going to be produced again. They could use someone a little more active on their social media accounts (beyond the daily GIF).

I am not really sure, lol. I bought it during the Mega SG pre-order and wasn't really thinking about a jail break at the time. I didn't jailbreak the Super Nt and didn't jailbreak the Mega SG so I just hadn't considered it.

I bought a Gamegear everdrive in anticipation of the adapters so I am hoping they are available soon. If they are in manufacturing that means maybe it won't be a pre-order and a long wait like the consoles and they will be available to ship close to when they announce them.

How does it work if the Mega SD isn't passing the info through the actual CD connector? Like on the PSIO it requires a modification inside the Playstation like to intercept the signals moving around inside the Playstation. I assume that isn't the case here but it is still not just software emulation, right? It is actually emulating the Sega CD hardware even though it isn't routing through the connector?

Might be worth the cost with how (un)-reliable the Sega CD can be and how expensive they have become (especially Model 1). The instant loading and not hearing the drive might be kind of nice if it is supported and works the way I have come to expect FPGA things like the Mega SG or Mega Everdrive to work. I'll probably pick one up when SAG carries them as I like their Deluxe kits they sell and I am guessing they will have a shell that matches the Genesis cartridges really well. Also, how is the company with firmware updates? I see they lock downloads behind a registration but is that it or is it like the PSIO where they really don't distribute the firmware unless you have proof of purchase from an authorized seller?

Yes, except that is just like one layer further out than I need or the way it was before. I have several threads bookmarked so when I visit the topic I see this (attachment) so there isn't a button to press. In the old forum there was a text link just like that one you highlighted around the area I circled that you could click and get to the first unread post: It's not a big deal though. I just thought maybe I was missing something. Thanks!

Yeah, like before when you would visit a topic on the right hand side it said something like "Go to first unread post" or something like that? I can't remember the actual wording. Clicking it would take me to the last post I saw from the last time I visited that thread. It's nice for bookmarked threads.

Is there a way to do this with the new redesign? I am not seeing a link or dot that will take me to the first unread post of the topic I am in. The "Unread Content" button at the top seems to bring me to all unread content on the site or seems to encompass more than just the thread I am looking at.

Awe, no I missed out on the $5. I often forget to look for coupons and discounts...

One kind of nice thing if you get the DIY kit for the Playstation Classic controller is that the controller is built in such a way that you are not replacing the actual button contacts like you do with every other 8bitdo DIY controller. You are only replacing a small board in the controller that is separate from the actual button contacts. So, if you are happy with the diagonals and everything on the Playstation classic controller that should't change with the DIY kit on that particular controller. It's pretty cool I have been playing Spelunky with it and it feels just like a Playstation controller. I know some people have strong opinions about the diagonals and contacts of the 8bitdo boards It is only the PS Classic controller that has this new setup inside. The DIY kits for the old PSX controllers are like all their other kits. I only bought the PS Classic because of the controllers, LOL. They are only $40 right now and come with two of them. They do work wired on PC as well... I kept one wired and one I used a DIY kit. Here is the install video to see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXxYoQAJzBY

All we know is the DAC is 2019 based on the manual. The cart adapters are referenced in the manual as sold separately but that is it. The lack of communication about the cart adapters and the DAC is disappointing.

I feel like a cheaper, HDMI only version of the Nt Mini is a no-brainer at some point. It would work with the DAC they are releasing and they could release a Gameboy cartridge adapter. I'd imagine the people selling the AVS hope they do not do that...

No I meant for the original Playstation. I have a Playstation classic but I only bought it for the controllers to use on my PC. I would like to use them with the PSOne (PSX I guess it is abbreviated) console.

I wonder if they will release a retro receiver for the Playstation? I wouldn't mind using the DIY classic or a PS4 controller on my original Playstation. I just recently purchased the Genesis controller kit. Wish I could have grabbed a couple of these at the same time.

I wonder how much input lag game designers just factor in now days due to displays and Bluetooth? There must be a target as people would get pretty frustrated if they designed games with 0 in mind.

This goes all the way back to the SupeNT for me as well with the DAC. I really want the GameGear adapter and the DAC. I thought the DAC was coming relatively soon after the SuperNT but Analogue has hardly even mentioned it. They mentioned it like twice in 2018. Once in July confirming it is still a thing that was almost complete but put on the back burner (probably to switch to developing the MegaSG). Then again in October just saying it is still a thing but no release date.

How does passthough mode actually work? When I select passthrough mode and then back out of that menu the MegaSG just freezes and I cannot do anything. All I see is the Analogue logo in the middle of the display and I have to turn the power off at that point...the reset button won't work. It did this on 4.3 and 4.4. What is supposed to happen when you select passthrough mode? I just wanted to turn it on to try it out with my genesis controllers just mostly out of curiosity and the fact the system wouldn't need to spend time processing the controls even though the time (latency) is minimal.

For anyone who doesn't follow Twitter, Firmware 4.4 has released. https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1117773768544243712
