The Analogue 3D is finally getting save states

"Analogue has released a new firmware update for its Analogue 3D console that adds the Memories save state feature. Memories, which was first introduced with its handheld Analogue Pocket, allows you to save at any moment and resume from that exact spot later on, rather than having to reach a specific point in a game to save your progress. The feature should also help reduce some headaches with saving game progress on the Analogue 3D as its Virtual Controller Pak option still isn't available when using original or wired N64 controllers."

"Although the feature was announced when the company first shared all the details about its 4K Nintendo 64 in October 2024, Analogue later confirmed that features like Memories and screenshots wouldn't be available until a later update. Screenshots still aren't available, but Memories can be added with the 1.3.0 firmware update that can be downloaded here, and installed using this guide."

"Other welcome updates to the Analogue 3D added this year include better support for multi-title flash carts, allowing the console to detect when players switched to a different game so individual Virtual Controller Pak saves would be created, and improved HDR capabilities that better emulated the look of old school CRT TVs on modern OLED displays."

Analogue released firmware version 1.3.0 for the Analogue 3D console, adding the Memories save state feature. Memories enables saving at any moment and resuming from the exact spot later, instead of needing to reach a specific in-game save point. The feature helps address saving progress problems because the Virtual Controller Pak option is not available when using original or wired N64 controllers. Memories was previously introduced on the Analogue Pocket, and it was later confirmed to arrive on the Analogue 3D in a future update. Screenshots remain unavailable, but Memories can be installed using the provided firmware download and installation guide. Additional updates include improved multi-title flash cart support and enhanced HDR performance for OLED displays.
