In my opinion, Nintendo should release a FPGA-based NES/SNES, with low latency joypads, and perfect audio and video (including advanced filters for "clean" and "perfectly distorted" experience). That, plus a "market" so they can ensure profits, would be huge, both for them, and for the users.
- chadgeidel 10y agoThe "Analogue Nt" fits the bill, but it's a pretty pricey option: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/07/analogue-nt-a-museum-grade-nes-for-a-museum-grade-price/ https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/07/analogue-nt-a-museum-... I don't know how low-latency the RetroN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RetroN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RetroN) is but you can use the original games and gamepads with that. I think it's android-based, so it's a software emulator.
- faragon 10y agoSure. Exactly that. If Nintendo puts that FPGA into an ASIC, in volume it could cost less than 20 USD per chip.
- kidbeta 10y agoIts not nintendo but from everything i can find its a pretty faithful reproduction of the hardware for a reasonablish price. https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/12/retrousb-avs-review/ https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/12/retrousb-avs-review/ .I havent gotten one yet but I have been mighty tempted.
- faragon 10y agoRetroUSB AVS is not a full hardware implementation, but a cartridge reader + software emulation, i.e. you'll have over 30ms delay (16.6ms * 2), because of framebuffer synchronization.
