The 2000 Sony AirBoard was a flat panel device that predated the iPad by a decade, yet it featured WiFi and served as an all-in-one solution for streaming video, internet browsing, e-mail, and digital photos. #RetroHardware

Some thoughts on the #Analogue3D:

It is very cool and sleek hardware (see my terrible photo with my original #OcarinaOfTime module) and can be a lot of fun if you want to have a mostly authentic #N64 experience on modern FullHD or 4K screen.

There are a lot of things to consider if you are willing to invest so quite a bit of money into this console:

  • Despite being a #FPGA device the system is not open, so no #OpenFPGA in the future which would you allow other to #misterFPGA cores/systems (open alternatives: misterFPGA, #M64 and the #SuperStationOne).
  • Some promised stuff is missing such as save states and play time recording.
  • The official controller has to be bought if you don't plan to use an original N64 controller. the Wireless NSO N64 by Nintendo controller is not compatible.
  • The official #8BitDo controller does not correctly emulate an N64 controller which can be problematic in certain scenarios involving the C buttons.
  • Butchered PAL versions with less FPS /slowdown etc are still butchered.
  • A few games do have compatibility issues (which are being worked on).
  • HDMI-CEC support is broken and hasn't been fixed for weeks.
  • Analogue seems to fulfilling orders in a quite random sequence.
  • The integrated fan can be quite annoying/loud, especially for people sensitive for highly pitched noises.
  • Don't forget about import taxes.
  • No bluetooth audio, so your partner can "enjoy" the Yoshi Story soundtrack with you.
  • Maybe emulation is good enough for you? 🤷
  • Flash carts do at this work, just get/build a #SummerCart64. Emulators written for N64 hardware emulating other system do not work though.

Nokia 9000 Communicator (1996) was one of the first commercially available smartphones. It sold for £1,000 in the UK, and you'll find the Communicator in the movies The Saint ('97) and Bad Company ('02) too. #RetroHardware

Chats from a #pdp group pops up on Facebook from time to time. Fascinating stuff. I vaguely remember seeing one in 90s, but it was already a museum piece just collecting dust.
