Hardware Analogue 3D - an FPGA based reimagining of the N64

[admin]

​

Analogue - the company behind the revered Analogue Pocket have announced their latest product, the Analogue 3D.

The Analogue 3D is an FPGA based home console capable of playing N64 cartridges but sporting modern technical capabilities such as 4K output, Bluetooth and 2.4ghz wireless controller support and more. As it is an FPGA solution, this means that the emulation is done at a hardware level - not software. The chips are programmed to emulate hardware functions directly instead of relying on software or higher level code to do so which often results in improved accuracy and latency.

​

The Analogue 3D promises "100% compatibility" across all software and much like the Pocket, will offer different display modes - using "reference quality recreations of specific model CRT's and PVM's" these display modes intend to mimic the output of an original N64 producing results that original hardware would have displayed at the time.

Analogue 3D

• Wireless Bluetooth and 2.4g.
• 4 original-style controller ports.
• Completely engineered in FPGA.
• Analogue OS.

No emulation.

• A reimagining of the N64.
• 4K resolution.
• Original Display Modes.
• Reference quality recreations of specific model CRT's and PVM's.

The first and only aftermarket solution supporting 100% compatibility in every region. USA, EU & JP. Coming in 2024.

Details are scarce right now but we will cover more on the Analogue 3D in the future and will hopefully be reviewing the product some time next year.
