I just hope it's compatible with the Analogue

Interesting. Given the prices of some of the upscalers, I imagine they will charge quite a bit for this device.

This is one of those products where my first reaction is "Well, that's silly who would pay for that"

And then I remember how wrong I was about e.g. the candy-colored iMacs. Let's see where this goes.

There has been some criticism of Analogue lately from the retro gaming community [1] for continuing to announce and release new products while they remain months behind on fulfilling orders already placed by customers. The consensus seems to be that their products are good but add 4-6 months to whenever you expect to get your order from them.

Analogue makes some really cool, well-engineered products. But saying there’s “No Emulation” because it uses an FPGA is blatantly false. If it’s imitating original hardware, without being the original hardware, it’s an emulator.

The details are scant from this product release, but for those who don't know, this company makes the "Analogue Pocket," an FPGA-implemented device capable of playing most Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games. There's no emulation happening here; everything is implemented in FPGA gates built onto the hardware.

Looks like they're advertising a similar implementation of the n64.

I'm not sure I agree. Arduinos made by other companies aren't emulations. They can still be true implementations and feature compatible.

I'm still waiting for any news at all about the "Available in 2023" Duo that I pre-ordered Day 1, but yeah: They did always deliver in the past. Eventually. And it's generally been worth it, except that if you were hoping that "Future Analogue Product" support on the DAC means "Pocket Dock".
