As you can see in that video, it hangs on an angle just like mine did.

No doubt, if you are in the market for a quality HD NES system that plays original carts then AVS is a really good option. Hi-Def NES is another good option that is still availble to purchase as well if you already own an original NES system.

Preorders are not up. I'm not expecting them until sometime next year. Maybe Spring time.

Exactly, yes we can agree it does work, but its not ideal to be pinching your ram modules cable like that. Objectively speaking the lid design was a bad choice from a user standpoint and was only chosen because it was cheaper than dust flaps, this is from Brians own words. I asked why he didn't go with that prototype design and he literally said because of the extra cost of the dust flaps. I know it adds up, but how much would dust flaps really cost? Was it really worth it to sacrifice better design to save maybe $1 per unit sold.

Well if the 8 materializes you might only have to pay $189.99 for a Analogue NES system.

Well you can see the prototype design for the AVS wasn't going to have nearly as much of the NES cart hanging out as that Nex clone.

No word on it, but the delay is likely because Smokemonster is out of town.

Yes it works once you seat it, but I just didn't like the cable being pinched. I wished Brian went with his initial design where Famicom carts loaded on the top and NES carts slotted in the front.

Gonna have to disagree on the FDS ram module fitting nicely. It was super inconvenient in the way you had to make sure the cable wouldn't get pinched because of the stupid lid design and also even when you seat the FDS ram module it sits on a slight angle. It is not ideal at all. Well, thankfully I sold my AVS and got back most of what I payed for it. Hoping that 8 materializes at some point, until then I have plenty of other options to play NES.

We are hoping Kevtris adds his chiptune synth so we can play some awesome chiptune music ourselves. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Having a portable chiptune player is something I've wanted ever since Kevtris showed off his Synth players, especially his orange one.

The Dock does not output 4K. I believe you are misinformed.

Thats the thing, it isn't different. Analogue just gets singled out for some reason.

Which Twitter thread?

Rysha is very talented and I respect all she has done with the MiSTer project, but I think she's being a bit too stubborn and closed minded about the Pocket. I think her opinions about Analogue as a company is preventing her from seeing the positive side of what Pocket can do for those open source cores, i.e. get those cores out to even more people to enjoy. How is this a bad thing? MiSTer will always remain niche of niche platforms.

It seems some of the MiSTer crowd feels a bit threatened by the Pocket's more open nature to bring in open source cores. Too many doom and gloomers. If people really cared about open source then they would want these cores to be on every platform possible. For every MiSTer sold there will be like 4+ Pockets sold. There will be a hell of a lot more people playing games on Pocket and how awesome would it be to take some of those great open source cores with you on a handheld? Well, at least one FPGA core author seems semi interested in the concept.

Last time I checked Chiptune artists don't use those original GBA consoles. They use Gameboys or Gameboy Advance SPs. I think they would be turned off by a OG GBA like design.

OLED is more expensive and has potential burn in problems.

That 10ms rating is measured from the middle of the screen. CRT would measure at 8ms at the middle. Nobody would be able to tell the difference of 2ms.

LOL, you being serious?

Naaa its a dock.

It has an HDMI Dock and BT Controller support, but dock might be a seperate purchase. https://www.fastcompany.com/90417529/this-new-gaming-device-is-like-a-game-boy-for-design-snobs

The AVS has both cart connectors, so I can't see Analogue coming out with a new NES system that removes the famicom slot. I mean you could be right, but I still think the FDS justifies it.

1. 8 will include both 60 pin and 72 pin cart connectors. The reason being is for the FDS. You do not want to plug an FDS into a 60 to 72 pin adapter. You want the FDS sitting flush with the top of the console, so this is why 8 will have both. 2. I doubt Pocket will have a GBA core.

Nobody is going to manufacture CRTs. Like lets use common sense here lol. Its gonna be Pocket, 8 or possibly both. I'm leaning towards pocket because of the green color scheme in that announcement date.

Based on that color scheme its probably the pocket that was recently trademarked.
