How does it stack up against Vecfever? https://www.retrorgb.com/vextreme-an-open-source-vectrex-flash-cart.html

Mega SG special edition: https://www.analogue.co/editions/hyperdub-mega-sg/

Playstation FPGA project:

Well, if the DAC is a parameter, it's been late but it will be released next year ...

Thanks for the info!

Yes, I bought this one a little bit smaller but @str0m commented that a "Full size one is in development".

Nice! Just bought my replacement screen and I will install it soon. Who is developing a full size screen?

All pre-orders ship in February 2020.

You are a very luck guy! ? I have 2 Mega Drive model 1 Japanese and I can see jailbar in both. One is modded so the jailbair is very faint but still there if you look very close. The other is unmodded and the jailbar is very easy to see. Also have a Laseractive RGB modded and no jailbar at all. ?

Also, if both firmware had to be updated to include support, I guess that the DAC doesn´t use a standard HDMI signal.

I´m expecting something like Nt mini. When you use the HDMI the signal is processed at 60hz to keep under HDMI specs and keep compatible with all tvs. But using analog out, the signal will have the real refresh rate of the console. I can´t find now, but here in the past someone commented about how the signal could be out of HDMI specs but still going out of HDMI connector. This kind of signal that I think will be use with DAC and maybe some type of auto detection (if technically possible) to avoid someone trying to use this signal in his digital TV.

I´m not expert but looking to the pcb I was expecting something simple, with less components. Even a cyclone 10 is there. Maybe is just for the test board...

I think it will be like the nt mini: from the d-sub conector you can have anything analog: composite, s vídeo, rgb and also component. Just use the monoprice adapters or build your own cable using the layout posted in nt mini support page long ago: https://support.analogue.co/hc/en-us/articles/115000923948-Using-Analog-Video-output-with-the-Nt-mini

From Polygon interview 10 months ago: When asked what’s happened to this thing (DAC), Taber said, “It’s been done. It’s like 99.9 percent done and has been for like six months. We just didn’t have the time to focus on it. We had a small window of time to be able to focus on something else before we needed to get on Mega SG to be able to stick to our development schedule, and we even pushed the envelope a couple of weeks out and we just couldn’t spend another fucking day on it. We had to drop it. So it’s basically done, ready to be produced. We even have all the parts for it and everything, we just have to pull the trigger on it. So right when we get through these last little details with Mega SG, that’s the first thing on the list. https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/16/17979024/sega-genesis-mega-drive-mega-sg-release-date-analogue-super-nt If he told the truth, native timings over HDMI are done. The only thing on the technical side that I imagine could delay the launch of DAC would be to make 32X compatible. But can only be a matter of again focus on it as he said. What will come first? DAC or SG adapters? ?

Since the CEO Christopher Taber said the DAC is 99.9% done I hope he keep his promise and release it soon: https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/16/17979024/sega-genesis-mega-drive-mega-sg-release-date-analogue-super-nt I don't know if Mega SG still dragging all theirs avaliable time and they cannot release another hardware now or if they plan to first make DAC compatible with 32X then release. A month or so ago I let Analogue know (twitter) that I'm still interested in the DAC. I also have a Super NT sealed waiting for "analogue" connectivity. RELEASE THE DAC...EN!

Here https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/mod-kit-for-original-playstation-controller I don´t think so. Not yet. If 8bitdo announces a wireless playstaion controller like SN30 or M30 (PS30?) maybe something is coming...

I hope Analogue finally release the DAC!

Well, Mega Sg will play 2 of these consoles covered by Nt Mini using cart adapters: Master system and Game Gear. I think cart adapters is a very good solution for a couple of reasons: Keeps Analogue legal and far from trouble with gaming companies, because it only plays "officially" original carts. Of course it will play counterfeit and unofficial cartridges but that is not Analougue problem!; It's a way to Analogue make some money for releasing these cores. A way back in this thread we were discussing how Analougue could sell a core in the Core Store®. I think most of us will happily pay for a cart adapter including a 8 bits core for use with Super Nt or Mega Sg. I my opinion even more than the $ 10 dollars that Analogue announce for SMS/GG/SG-1000. Releasing the adapters with cores costs money and Analogue should and can charge for it; It will permits people with original carts collection to keep playing with brand new hardware; Probably we will get a jailbroken firmware as NT mini from an unknown person allowing to load games from SD cards.

Hi SainT! Can you please add me (again) in the list? My friend saw mine and wants one too!

An interesting lag test about 8bitdo controllers and also Krikzz joyzz: https://www.retrorgb.com/krikzz-joyzz-vs-8bitdo-m30-2-4g-vs-8bitdo-m30-bluetooth-input-latency-lag-testing.html

Probably finished. The game is not Analougue exclusive and also will be released in physical form to Ps4 and Vita (emulation of course) by Strictly limited Games. They even hire Matt Phillips to help in programming (Tanglewood) and have some people who worked on it originally. More info here: https://projecthardcore.strictlylimitedgames.com/ I also read somewhere that due to license issues the final game will be called ULTRACORE.

From rev H to J the only well knowing change was the memory card (SD to micro SD). But the major motivation to me to change from Rev F to J was the correction of MSU-1 audio circuit. (Rev H also have this correction as well). Yes, before thinking in buying a new revision I installed the small pcb to fix the audio but had some problems like audio distortion (cold solder) and FMV playback issues (because of sd card I was using - explanation here: https://sd2snes.de/blog/card-list). I only discovery the causes AFTER buying the revision H. But in the end I was happy because I could sold the previous SD2Snes fully working.

Same here! I sold my rev F last BF to buy a newer rev. J. Sold rev. J last week and ordered a SD2snes Pro yesterday. Some will say it was a waste of money, which I can not disagree with ... but I did justify to myself that snes is my all time favorite console. And It worked.

When I received my NT mini I tested it and found that although the Nt mini works like a four score/nes satellite (4 controller ports), they ignored the turbo option available on both devices! I wrote to Analogue at that time asking for it, but I never got a response ....

There is some info related to Super NT: SmokeMonster: I forgot to ask how the Pro’s new save states work? Ikari: To explain save states I should point out the limitations of real hardware: The problem with sound on save states is that the APU (S-SMP + S-DSP) is an independent system on the SNES that only has 4 I/O ports to communicate with the SNES CPU via a software protocol. Once a game has its sound code up and running in the APU there is no way to interface it in a universal way, i.e. you can’t get the state of the APU at runtime at all. I hope to overcome this limitation by running my own APU implementation on the FPGA which makes me the “owner” of its state too, so I can grab it whenever I want. The original APU would be silenced by running a little hook on reset that uploads an infinite loop so it doesn’t react to any CPU access. The sd2snes would then override the bus with its own APU responses accordingly. Unfortunately this method won’t work on a Super Nt because bus override hacks simply don’t work on it. There’s another way but it may be prone to desynchronization. Source: https://www.retrorgb.com/sd2snes-pro-more-details-from-ikari.html
