what for?
OG console needs like 8 solder points for RG

>hyperkin's latest pi console
FTFYS

>paying for emulation
You don’t really do this, right anon?

>Those prices on those games
I hope the earth explodes tonight.

>>5636859
It appears to be emulation?

In the 12 secs of the video there's a problem with de giant screen of MK.

There's a good change it'll have problems with Paper Mario, since it uses buffer a lot.

I wish it was FPGA

>>5637051
it's an early prototype so glitches/bugs are expected.

>>5637127
is it FPGA or emulation?

>>5637128
>>5637127
Also the controller is not like the original analog... someone should work on that. Depending on steel sticks is very bad.

>>5637128
They said iQue clone/die shrink with the Ultra HDMI board fused with it.

>>5637203
that's a yikes from me senpai

>>5636859
>hyperkin
so in other words it’ll be bad

>>5637210
How? ?ow bad is the iQue compared to real hardware?

>>5637210
How? How bad is the iQue compared to real hardware?

>>5637219
The basis of that is chink clone hardware designed with 2002/3 chinese design sensibilities. It runs the games that supported it fine, but I don't think that it was ever meant to run the full library of games.

>>5637203
>>5637219
i think that iQue is the same as the N64.

>>5637223
But they're die shrinking it and adding the Ultra HDMI chip set to it, give 2 or 3 years for a FPGA system if you want something more 1 on 1.

>>5637128
FPGA is emulation.

>>5637243
But it's Hardware emulation, which is much more precise then software emulation.

>>5637250
How is it much more precise?

>>5637253
Significantly more precised.

>>5637250
Split hairs all you want, it will never be 100% accurate.

>>5637339
The NTs are 100% accurate.
After their firmware updates.

>>5637243
>>5637253

It's not like software emulation, the transistors act like the real hardware.

Really, really hope it's a bit better than emulation at least.

>>5636859
it's a pi3 and a retrode

>>5637231
>2 or 3 years
lol

It's literally never happening. We can't even EMULATE the N64 properly, and you think we're getting a legit clone system in '2 or 3 years'? Enjoy your chinkshit I guess.

>>5636859
we need n64-controller-clones, not console-clones, ffs.

>>5636859

It's literally mupen64plus with framebuffer effects turned off because there soc is shitty

https://twitter.com/ModernVintageG/status/1136132112392888320

https://twitter.com/libretro/status/1136239460054642692

Don't get ripped off, it's already confirmed to be shit.

>paying for software emulation
pass

For a second I thought it was an Analogue FPGA cosole and I was about to freak out. That thing is years away, assuming anyone has the unbridled autism necessary to learn the n64 inside and out.
>>5637589
That's what I expected from Hyperkin yet I'm still dissapointed.

>>5637349
If you had a SuperNT and a computer running Higan lined up next to eachother, would you be able to tell which was which from the gameplay alone?

It's definitely gonna be shit, but it's nice to see someone thinks there's a market for it. Hopefully it'll push a more capable company into making one.

>>5638102
no

I probably can't from general emulation as well. Of couse, if everything has the same output, cables and resolution. Unless I go for minor output artifacts.

I really really hope this video wasnt made by the actual creators. Like how fucking stupid can you be to not make a make-shift phone holder to record your advertisement sneak peak

>>5638102
Yes because Higan can't run full screen without audio fuckups and screen tearing.

>>5636859
Wow its an emulator box

>>5637525
How is the emulation for N64 games on modern Nintendo consoles on their stores? They do sell at least the best N64 games through their online service right?

>>5637525
Uhhh...

>>5638781
On Wii U yes.
Not on Switch because they still need a gimmick to sell 3DSs.

>>5638839
Glide64 is not 'proper' emulation by any stretch of the imagination bro, it's a bunch of hacky plugin shit on top of a hacky emulator. Sure it's improved things, but let's keep perspective here.

can they not even afford a tripod or some bottom of the barrel capture card?

I just wonder why it took anyone this long to get around to making N64 clones. NES/SNES clones were readily available in the mid 2000s, why did it take 15+ years to jump to 64?

>>5638913
>why did it take 15+ years to jump to 64?
because of poorly coded emulators

>>5637203
Who is this "they" and why are they lying?

>>5637250
>b-b-but
z-z-zoom

>>5636859
I really don't have much faith in a product that is showcased with only one person using one hand attempting to play a game and the other holding a cell phone recording it.

>>5637250
Literally the other way around in most cases.

>>5636859
Do my old controllers work with it?

>>5636859
How long until ps1 clones?

>>5639057

>>5639060
Wtf is that?

>>5639062
Ps1 clone

>>5639057

>>5639073
China right? Is there any more Ps1 clones?

>>5637347
Their clockspeed is and will forever be inaccurate.

>>5638913
Shit emulators and a patent that won't expire until 2021.

>>5636859
Will Re2 be compatible on it? It's shit on project 64.

And whats the point of this? Because N64 are actually cheaper than SNES consoles where i live. It would be better if they made more controllers.

>>5636859
Will it be region free? Any filters? A menu?

>>5636859
Reminder not to support Hyperkin because they steal open source emulators to sell to others and mock the creators of the software when they're told they're literally violating the usage licensing.

Shut up.

>>5639242
>expecting sympathy for emulator authors defending their IP rights on the FREE GAMES YAY board
Why do anything that upholds the spirit of intellectual property like buy games or support software authors when they can spend their money on infringing clone consoles and everdrives to stuff full of games they never bought?

>>5639057
-15 years?

>>5639080
It's made of plastic, metal and fiber glass. AFAIK there is no china in there. There are more ps1 "clones" in the same way ever memeberry, PC, phone, playstation classic, etc is a "clone"

I think looking at that controller sends of more red flags
>retains the three-pronged design that dumb cunts can't help but criticize
>analog stick looks like those totally inaccurate and shitty gamecube dome style replacements

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fWQ6JCNrH4
It is just a shitty ARM soc that uses mupen64 and 50% compatibility with games

HARD PASS

I mean if you don't make it at least FPGA or something to GUARANTEE 100% compatibility, then why bother?

https://youtu.be/5fWQ6JCNrH4

Oh look, it's another ARM based emulation box that's going to suffer from incompatibilities, input lag, and likely terrible sound. It's not like buying a real N64 is very expensive these days.

>>5639390
>It's made of plastic, metal and fiber glass. AFAIK there is no china in there.
Alright listen here you little shit.

>>5637347
Super NT runs at exactly 60Hz, but the SNES itself does not run at exactly 60Hz.

its all emulation, if you are going to emulate just get a free emulator, if you want to play the real thing then do that

>>5639875
>>5639879
sure is modern vintage boomer samefag in here.

>>5639875
>>5639919
>>5639950
Cringe.

Is it too much to ask for simple cartridge+controller adapters to plug into everyday PCs running emulators that can be updated and even run better and better as the PC hardware gets updated?

Am I really this much smarter than everyone else in the gaming world? Low bar, but disappointing even from my perspective.

>>5640464
>cartridge+controller adapters
>smarter

>>5639875
>>5639919
ARM was a fucking mistake
Everything should be 8051

Hype level...: MAX. LOL!

Oh man, finally! My dusty old N64 was just taking up so much space and looked really bad on my huge flatscreen TV. Super happy that now we will have a full HD option for playing all of my cool old retro N64 game cartridges. My wife was always complaining about the N64 taking up shelf space (even though she LOVES the games - she is always kicking my behind at Mario Kart 64, LOL!), but I'm sure she'll be happy with this compact, nifty looking replacement.

Can't wait to see how gorgeous this will look outputting full HD to my awesome, huge HD TV... can you say 4 player Smash Bros. game night? So excited! ;)

Can it play EP games?

>>5640770
Uggh...

>>5640745
Smarter than you most of all, apparently. Why waste time designing clone hardware when PCs and PC emulators already exist and all you need to play your actual legally owned cart games with your existing controllers is an interface to that hardware?

>>5640770
You're too good at that.

>>5640770
Faggot.

>>5640783
ALL MY SAVE GAMES ARE ON CONTROLLER PAKS, FAGGOT.

>>5640804
ARE YOU TRYING TO DRAW ME INTO A VIOLENT PHYSICAL ALTERCATION YOU HOMOSEXUAL DEVIANT? I DON'T WANT TO CATCH YOUR HIV OR GET THROWN IN JAIL FOR A HATE CRIME SO JUST KEEP WALKING YOU FLAMING RETARD.

If this were reddit this would be a real post.
7/10

>>5640783
>newer than you most of all, obviously.
People design "clone" hardware because it's easy as fuck and there are people willing to pay for it. If you'd been here more summers you'd know that what you're asking for has already been made and none of them did very well. It requires largely the same parts to make as a "clone" and most hipsters with money will choose the clone over the adapter. The only market for what you want is poorfag wannabe hipster emubabies, and they have no money so that's not really a market.

>>5641038
>already been made and none of them did very well
Well that's disappointing and now I'm angry at the messenger years after the fact. Off with your head!

>>5638903
I think they filmed it like that to hide any framerate drops from emulation.

Cant go fast and smooth if you're playing with 1 hand

>>5640343
Sorry Hyperkin, but you product looks like a SHIT LOAD OF ASS FUCK.

>>5640770
based.

>>5641172
Based on what?

>>5637543
Do we? The replacement sticks I got from kitsch-bent were close enough to stock for me. And worn down N64 controllers aren't expensive.

>>5636859
You could just get one of these though. I don’t understand this shit

>>5640770
Fuck this is on-point

Is N64 emulation anywhere near 100% accurate yet (excluding the proprietary emulators made by Nintendo for VC)?

>>5641356
Nope. Well not 100 percent.

>>5641356
>>5641381
Even Nintendo's N64 emulation isn't 100% accurate.

>>5640770
8/10

>>5641075
On the bright side, the few people who did buy them are now making a nice profit reselling them on ebay for silly money. $150+ for the cheapest retrode listed on ebay. This is taking
>paying to emulate
to a whole new level.

>it's just Mupen64Plus
I don't care if it costs $300+, I just want an FPGA clone of the N64 hardware that maybe, JUST maybe has framerate improvements and blur removal

>>5639941
I believe that Woozle had to fix this 60Hz issue with the GBA consolizer.

I believe he can run it in 59hz or something and it won't unsync. That's what I understand.

So I guess not everything should be 60Hz.

But I don't think it'll break the games though, because if you're running on a FPGA you can make the clock of everything a little bit faster. I guess.

>>5641387
Funny that PS3 emulation is starting to get good, but we still can't emulate N64. tfw brainlet and can't contribute to N64 emulation.

>>5640770
>muh strawmanning shitposting
But it's OK because it's 'ironic' of course. I bet you'd eat shit and would reply to others who ask what's wrong with you "It's OK it's only ironically!"
