Still no DAC support for Pocket ๐Ÿ˜ญ

 

It's really hard to see on the website itself ๐Ÿ™„ but here is the direct quote:

Analogue3D is compatible with HDMI TV's, it is not compatible with CRTs or Analogue DAC.

Right, at this point any answer to this question is essentially just guessing.

But since we're just guessing... looking into the future of Analogue, 4k editions of their previous products do seem feasible I think. But I mean this is just a hope. I have no idea.

But yeah, the retroUSB AVS is a well regarded competitor to the Analogue Nt/Nt mini line, so it is worth consideration

Analogue has directly stated that the 3D will not support openFPGA ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Does Analogue3D support openFPGA? openFPGA is not supported on 3D.

Thank you for sharing!

The product is impressive, and cheaper than I was expecting. I love the look of the controller too.

However... the DAC... well I think it's RIP. i don't think I can give Analogue any more money considering this :(

I opened the cartridge and used 99% IPA and a few cotton swabs to clean the cartridge contacts. Nothing super significant though, the contacts seemed pretty clean. Then I took an air duster and gave the whole cartridge a significant blasting, but really it looked completely dust free as far as I could tell. then I also replaced the battery with a new one.

As for the console, I was much more gentle with it. Basically just blasted it heavily with the electric air duster. Tried to get in all the nooks and crannies. Again it looked pretty clean really (but the external chassis of the Nt mini definitely needed a good wipe too, it was somewhat dusty)

Filled out a support request email from krikzz, but haven't heard back yet. I think the cartridge is definitely dead, so we'll see what he says

Hey everyone,

As you may know, Analogue has traditionally always had annual mid October announcements. Mostly following along with this reddit post, their timeline has been:

I'm hoping to see some more news/information about the Analogue 3D, along with Pocket DAC support... ๐Ÿฅด

(This was also posted on r/analogueinc.)

 

Hello,

I've suddenly found that I can no longer use my Everdrive N8 Pro at all. It appears that my console, an Nt mini Noir, can no longer boot up at all when this cartridge is connected. I run through it a bit more in this video I just took: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0_gRNZsyOY

But basically, here is a full rundown of the issue:

  • If I have my Everdrive N8 Pro plugged in to my Nt mini Noir, then my console will not boot up
  • If I have my Nt mini Noir in any other configuration, then my console will boot up

Steps I've tried so far that have had no effect:

  • Replacing the cartridge battery
  • Cleaning the cartridge's contacts
  • Cleaning the Nt mini's cartridge contacts
  • Another micro SD card
  • No SD card

Other misc details:

  • My Nt mini Noir console is running the latest jailbreak firmware (v6.7)
  • My Everdrive N8 Pro is running its latest firmware (v2.15)
  • I purchased this N8 Pro from everdrive.me in August 2020
  • I have not changed any settings or gear of any kind for a very long time, so this is not a result of recent settings changes or hardware changes
  • Up until very recently, this N8 Pro had been working, although it was always somewhat flaky. And what I mean by "flaky" is:
    • The console would turn on normally, but then when I go to run the cartridge, I would get just a blank/black screen
    • The console would turn on normally, and would even load the Everdrive menu correctly. But the menu would have graphics errors, such as a broken/corrupt launcher menu
    • If either of the above issues occurred, I would just turn on console off => on again until it was fixed
  • I unfortunately do not have a Famicom or NES to test this cartridge against those consoles. However, sometime soon I might be able to visit a friend who does, and then I can test my N8 again there

Does anyone have any thoughts? Unfortunately, it looks like my cartridge is outside of the warranty period now :(

Thank you!

These look great! But I am pretty irritated about DAC support for the Pocket (and Duo) still not being available ๐Ÿ˜”

LOL I love this

[โ€“] smcharles@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm kinda torn on this. On one hand, it looks totally sick, I love the look/feel of aluminum and I love my Nt mini Noir. But being handheld kinda makes this more awkward? The weight and feel of the aluminum might be strange. But more than anything else, I'm just really unhappy about the DAC support for the Pocket. It's so long overdue. I'm unhappy with the showing of Analogue's priorities here.

 

๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

 

No indication about what color(s) will be available, but I'd definitely assume it to be only just black and white.

I don't have a Duo, but this probably helps? Is it known to have some noise issues?

Yeah I mean I think it's great, if you wanna play any of the games that your Pocket plays, just on your TV, and you maybe already have one of the supported controllers, I think it's perfect. Especially if you don't already have a GameCube + Gameboy Player.

However at the end of the day, that's what it does, it let's you play those games on your tv. So I don't think there's much of a "wow" factor, which is totally fine. I wish it was like, just a tiny bit cheaper, and had DAC support, but still I'm happy with it.
