I would not recommend Analogue at all, they deliver half baked products that fail to deliver what they promised and give non-answer when contacting support.
When they announced the NT mini noir restock, they announced it would have support for sega genesis through the jailbreak so I bought it on that basis. But when the jailbreak (which is not released directly by an "independent" party that has access to the internals and all the information needed to release them), the sega genesis support had a very weird mapping making it impossible to play most games correctly (the c button is mapped to the select button on the genesis controller from 8bitdo). Me and a few people complained to support who despite promises of looking into it did nothing at all.
If it was opensource, I could just fix it but right now I have a very expensive console that only does half of what it promised.
- wk_end 5y agoIndeed. The Super NT (which I own) was billed as a perfect, “reference-grade”, 100% accurate Super Nintendo clone, but it had for years - and in some cases continues to have, after many firmware updates with months of silence from the company in between - various compatibility bugs, big and small, even with hugely popular games like Chrono Trigger. Their products are good, but not exceptional, and every other aspect of the company (ordering, shipping, support, communication) is infuriating. I suspect that they make their products in short supply more out an aim of cultivating an air of exclusivity than because of actual supply chain limitations. Describing their mediocre emulator front end as a “library of Alexandria” for scholarly video game preservation is hyperbolic to the point of being offense to the people who actually have committed themselves to game preservation. It’s ridiculous.
