This seems like a fantastic piece of hardware. Glad they were able to bring the price down for the Super Nt. Still not exactly cheap, but definitely reasonable for a system of that caliber. Thanks for showing this off!

"Electrons move through reality" -Ryan

Electrons need to move through the universe to be authentic. - This Video

Ryan was probably the kid in school who told everyone he had an uncle who works for Nintendo

2:23 You're welcome.

>EMULATING ELECTRONS THROUGH REALITY

It's actually amazing how little these guys know about this

Ryan sounds like me in high school when I learned for a topic by just memorizing data points without really understanding it.

Dude that was the worst explanation on why physical hardware is better than emulation. Did he say electrons?

I would love for someone to make a video where Ryan has to guess if the games he is watching is emulated or not

There's a lot of ridicule, but I get it. I can't fully enjoy my games either without the electrons going the right way.

Am I out of touch? No... No it is the electrons who are wrong.

Wow Ryan doesn't understand. "Electrons flow through reality" lol wtf man

I use a Super Nintendo on a CRT with S-cable. It looks fantastic. This appears to be the best way to experience a SNES game in 1080p, but these games were not designed for 1080p. The visual quality on a good CRT is the best way to experience SNES games.

"B...b...but the electrons move differently". This has got to be the biggest snake-oil bullshit I've ever heard. An SNES is a computer, it has transistors, that are either 1 or 0. It's digital. If you simulate the entire machine state of an SNES you can replicate a 1:1 SNES in software, no matter how electrons flow. Don't even get me started about audio. Of course Emulators don't play mp3 files, they play the original SMC sound files and simulate the SNES soundchip.

There's just no possible way you can replicate the way electrons move through reality.

This video got me more negatively charged than an electron

You should stay away from technical videos.

If you don't get it pumping to 1.21 jigawatts and re-atomizing through the third stratosphere of time uniracers just won't be the same. Lol

"It's naat emulation! It's naaaat! Oh, hi mike!"

Was this video made by LJN?

to be honest, these two guys are not appealing at all to me and they explain these technical specs so bad.. and not even correctly since it *is* emulation nonetheless

The Analogue Super NT: ELECTRONS MOVING THROUGH REALITY - Ryan, Cinemassacre 2018

mike looks like bart simpson

The classic that started it all

Sounds like someone tried ZSNES in 1993. Sound emulation has been fine for ages now

At least Mike doesn't pretend to know what he's talking about. If Ryan wants to b.s. while high sure whatever, but at least put a disclaimer that he doesn't actually know much about the topic.

8 and 16-bit emulation is pretty fucking accurate these days.

Is this video satire?

Should have put a disclaimer at the beginning of the video saying "Ryan literally knows NOTHING about emulation at all". I hope no one watches this and "learns" what Ryan said and go around repeating it when arguing.

"I tried an emulator once, 10 years ago, but it wasn't 100% perfect so I stuck with cartridges" Well hello from 2018, where we have Higan that is basically a perfect copy of a SNES, or Dolphin that are capable that rendering (not upscalling) Wii games on 1080p, something even the real console can't.

(Mike makes sexual joke about throbbing) (Ryan pauses, clearly not understanding, and then continues to make point albeit a little flustered)

How is playing SNES games at 1080p on hardware not made by Nintendo more accurate to "the way it was intended to be played"? Fuck off with the Framemeister and everything else; original Nintendo hardware is the "authentic" experience, and everything else is no better than software emulation.

Phrase of the year: "electrons.... move through reality..."

Emulators do not play mp3s. that was such a dumb statement. They use the midi channels or other audio drivers programmed in the emulator so its direct audio, like the actual hw.

As a chemistry student I can say Ryan has no clue what he's talking about when it comes to electrons LOL

This seems like a 20 minute advert

“The people who built this, built it to emulate... mimic.... I won’t say emulate”

SNES software emulation has been cycle accurate for quite a while now. Basically, with emulators such as Bsnes or Higan you'll get exactly the same result as on a real SNES. Not that FPGA SNES machine isn't impressive, just wanted to correct your outdated info. And I understand that some people prefer hardware and real cartridges and all that. But it's one thing to prefer something, another thing is to say everything else is somehow worse, because it's not true. Objectively, at this point software emulation of SNES is just as good as any hardware FPGA emulation.

When I grow up, I wanna be mike matei.

Man... Fatboy is sure in LOVE with Mike.

"The way it was intended to be played." *plugs a cartridge into a device made well after the lifetime of the SNES*

Snes emulation has gotten perfect accuracy and the input lag from emulation has even seen a wide reduction to zero like in Dolphin or reduction to at most one frame of lag in retroarch for cores. The best way to reduce or eliminate input lag for snes or other systems is to use a linux distro in kms mode using retroarch that is properly setup or use retroarch with a non crap tv or a crt display.

That's a neat little device, but I Ryan got almost everything wrong about emulators.

Ok guys, its "hardware" and shit, but it doesnt stand when TASBot actually works on the real hardware. That means, the emulator was EXACTLY THE SAME as the actual hardware. Electrons moving in reality dont change the result because its digital, the "FPGA is just a gimmick. The FPGA doesnt become a SNES, FPGAs cant emulate analog hardware, you cant emulate an opamp on a FPGA, or a delay line. Sorry to break your "hardware" fantasy but a FPGA is only better than an emulator performance wise. I agree with you that having the cartridge and the console and all that is an experience, its like going to a concert vs listening to your mp3 player, but i assure you that FPGA is just an emulator, it emulates the original because FPGAs cant do analog stuff, it cant copy the flaws in the originals which were caused by faults in the photolitography process or bugs in the chip design.

This feels like a Infomercial. ROFL!

Love you guys. But come on. Look at this video compared to My Life In Gaming's about this system. Night and day. What I imagine they do is smoke a lot of weed, sit down and turn the camera on, have nothing pre-planned, nothing written out or scripted, and just wing it with completely wrong information, and then just think Ah we're Cinemassacre so tons of people are going to view this anyway

Electrons like move through reality man.

I just cannt watch a Cinemassacare video without James in it.. Mikes know-it-all stuck up attitude almost makes me wanna unsubscribe. I just cannot stand his face lol

I see this video being used in a future one called: Episodes We Regret

somebody should explain them how a fpga works :)

Offtopic kinda: As a UK SNES owner from the year of release ('92, right?) the "Famicom" design for the European SNES just gives a warm feeling in my soul. But, I always thought the US SNES design and colouring was pretty cool. Did anyone else have similar feelings?

the argument vs emulation is just wrong, cinemassacre as a whole has the one flaw of being extremely adamant vs emulation with absurd statements. Some emulators are better than others at handling various things, there's pretty much no excuse to bash emulation nowadays besides having some console under your TV or using specific accessories, like wanting to use the NES light gun for duck hunt. I know you guys "really" appreciate your consoles, i do too, but the bashing vs emulation is totally uncalled for.

States it's not emulation, follows with, it mimics a snes........dude, that's emulation lol.

"it's not emulation it's a chip that acts like a super nintendo" nice lot of buzzwords and prior used arguments this video was bad

Mike, many of us don´t have access to some garage sale, or retro stores. Most of the world is not that full of old console cartridges to get. It´s a pain in the ass, extra expensive to import or impossible. So yeah...it´s not always an option.

holyshit these guys were just talking hot air, really had no clue wtf they were hardselling..

You guys look like Burt n Ernie :)

I'll never understand the point of hardware cloning, when we're in an age of Nestopia and BSNES offering 100% cycle accurate emulation. If you want the nostalgic experience, you'll want the original hardware.

6:09 my reaction to this video

Can't finish this video. Sorry fellas.

This is sounding a lot like those arguments from people who insist on listening to their music on Vinyl records.

So weird. It's like listening to a pc elitist argument... for a console...

Just to make things clear: FPGAs ARE emulation. If the code used on the fpga emulates the console accurately, a software emulator using the same code will do the same thing the same way, just a bit slower

Video game snobs...

I love retro nostalgia but there is something in me that digsusts me about these new consoles. I dunno. Maybe I was abused by a game gear or something.

I like my scan lines as deep as they can go.

the 2 guys like crack a litlle to much.

I don't know anything about this, but I'm getting that feeling that these guys don't either lol. It's like they smoked a bunch of pot and decided to turn on the camera and just wing it. It's funny to me, it gives me "Jay and Silent Bob-esk" feeling of comedy.

Now I can see that those videos about Crossy Road or Vikings the Screaming Face App Store Game weren't that bad, actually. They had their facts right.

Software could be more *accurate* than any piece of hardware. Hardware has "tolerances". I.e. no SNES runs at exactly the spec'd frequency. As the hardware ages that's going to get worse. An FPGA is still a simulation.. if you're going to get butt hurt over the *realness* of emulators then an FPGA is just as bad.

ELECTRON BLAST PROCESSING

what a cute lesbian couple

>sees ryan *closes video*

I totally agree with Mike when he says only using cartridges. I too enjoy the collecting and maintenance for them.

Over exaggeration big time also that sound chip was made by Sony not Nintendo.

These guys sound like Sommeliers (Wine Experts), just with the snobbery aimed at emulation.

If you really care about perfect emulation then you wouldn't play on an LCD via HDMI.

Emulation is light years ahead of anything you've shown as far as hardware.

I think Mike wants to play real cartridges because he can spend money. If you put Contra 3 on an SD card in the system and hide it from sight, you would not be able to tell cartridge from rom.

It’s still a form of emulation, it’s a console emulating a snes console, it’s not a Nintendo SNES

I bought one of these, but to play devil's advocate, one could use their classic systems, but an OSSC (line doubler) for way less than a Framemeister, and the good thing about going this route is that it will benefit all of your classic consoles, instead of JUST the SNES.

SNES Classic: Official Nintendo product, comes with all the best games Analogue Super NT: Bootleg product, comes with hundreds of menu settings

Why would I buy one of these if I already own a working snes?

This could have been so much better if you guys dressed up like Tim and Al from Tool Time.

I'll just play NES games on a real NES and SNES games on a real SNES.

I think emulation is fine. The minuscule reasons to spend hundreds of dollars (or thousands) more to have "the authentic experience" isn't worth it. Saying emulation doesn't get the absolutely perfect 100% original audio is like saying you don't go to concerts because songs being played arnt 100% EXACTLY like the album.

Really dull video. Instead of showing the menu fonts and LED colors how about showing how the system actually plays. Ryan talked about how it can reduce slow down but showed nothing. They could do better than this.

Thank God Metal Jesus also covered this, I won't have to force myself to watch Ryan.

I am a simple guy, I see Ryan , I click dislike

this is just terrible

spends lots of time talking about super turrican.... spends no time playing super turrican

I have a question. Wont these games look overly blown up on these large HDTV monitors? Isn't that one of the reasons that people go for the CRT monitors?

You don't know much about emulation, do you?

Don't watch this, go watch the My Life In Gaming review, they actually know what they're talking about

They talk about emulation like it's still the late 90s.

My ears are hurting, these guys should research and at least understand what they are talking about in future.

"It's just reading rom-files, it's not emulation"... that's literally what emulation does

Nearly $200 and it doesn't include a controller. Wow. I will keep using my SNES from my childhood on my CRT until it dies.

An emulator is absolutely equal or better to any original cartridge. Electrons still "move through reality" when going through the processor of something using emulator software to copy the action of an old console.
