We'll see how Mars compares when that is released. The UI looks a lot more polished compared to the Mister.

I will argue most people buying these consoles will eventually want to play more than just original carts, which means more setup either via a jailbreak or everdrive. I'd say both of those are not any more difficult to set up than a prebuilt Mister.

Agreed, even with the eventual "jailbreak" it would have to be priced around that. I think it will be more expensive since the N64 core is pretty large and it is supposed to support 4k.

At the bottom of the page "Analogue 3D does not support openFPGA 2". Unless this comes in at a competitive price Mister or Mars are a much better value proposition unless you're a die hard cart user.

That's a myth, the ram was a requirement by management at the beginning of development to showcase it's use. The ram was heavily used for the dynamic lighting.

To add to this, the reader also has a N64 controller port so you can also dump memory cards via a controller.

The retrode was a good device when you could buy it. What I like about this one is that you can dump all the popular cart systems without needing adapters, while being able to build additional adapters for less common systems.

Yeah they make pretty solid prebuilts, this was a diy kit.

It's linked in the other post.

Thanks and done

Exactly

Understandable, but this picture is from my hotel waiting for my wife getting ready for the night out, so no time wasted and I had some peaceful rest.

The Jrs are great to mod since they are guaranteed 1-chip consoles.

My inspiration was a Pokeball so pretty close

The trick is to use a quality iron and practice. You can find practice kits on alliexpress pretty cheap (tiny speakers, radios, bunch of LEDs, etc...)

Thanks

Thanks! I use Krylon Fusion Matte spray paint

I cleaned the edge of the PCB with a pencil easer then ipa. After that I applied some dexoit for good measure. I also added some dexoit to the pins themselves.

Sleeper?

It's not grey. The paint is matte white and matte black, all with a clear coat. The intent wasn't a restoration since the case had cracks and nicks in it.
