"As with other Analogue systems, the console uses an FPGA (field programmable gate array) chip to emulate Nintendo's original hardware. FPGA-based systems are more accurate than software emulation options and tend to have lower input lag. Analogue claims the 3D will support every N64 cartridge - both PAL and NTSC variants - without any inaccuracies or slowdowns. I'm interested to see how well that promise will hold up in a four-player round of Perfect Dark."
"The 3D delivers 4K output and supports variable refresh rate. You'll be able to use "original display mode" filters to replicate the look of playing on a CRT or PVM. There's still always the option of picking up an N64, but Analogue's approach to scaling might make the 3D the best way to play N64 games (using original cartridges) on modern TVs."
Analogue will begin shipping the 3D on November 18 after multiple delays, though both black and white variants are currently out of stock. The $250 console uses an FPGA chip to emulate Nintendo 64 hardware, aiming for higher accuracy and lower input lag than software emulation. The 3D claims support for every N64 cartridge, including PAL and NTSC variants, and outputs 4K with variable refresh rate. The system includes "original display mode" filters to simulate CRT or PVM displays, four original controller ports, USB-C power, two USB accessory ports, HDMI, and a Wi‑Fi chip for OS updates.
