I am french and at school there was a franco-japanese guy. One day he invinted me to his home and the PC engine was there. I couldn't believe my eyes how small it was and all the great games it had. I had a blast that day and I have never forget it.

The yellowing of those old consoles isn't always from smoking. It happens naturally with age. I've heard tell it's mostly UV from sunlight doing what it does, breaking chemical bonds like a divorce attorney for plastics. (Though smoking doesn't help literally anything.) I've also heard tell you can reverse it with some kind of hydrogen peroxide scrub, but never had occasion to do it myself.

10:25 As the owner of an 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller, they overlook a lot of things with their controllers. My controller cost $70 USD and at the time the lower tier version, the Ultimate 2.4g, didn't have Hall Effect joysticks and didn't have Bluetooth when it launched at $50 USD. Now the Ultimate 2.4g is essentially the same controller but with way wider device compatibility, Hall Effect sticks, Bluetooth and is cheaper. The only difference in features is the Ultimate Bluetooth having an actual pairing button, Gyro support, and Nintendo player indicator lights. Otherwise the Ultimate 2.4g is far and away the better deal.

I never thought I would hear about PC-Engine stuff on this channel! I really love Blood Wolf, Break In, Bomberman '94, Keith Courage, Daisenpuu and King of Casino.

Also the PC Engine CD also has a kick ass version of Double Dragon II that's based off of the NES version but with updated graphics and Anime style cut scenes.

Any clue who is gonna pilfer it from inventory tho?

Someday itll be retro time again. Gonna be mad hyped when it is. (David is also great. Just gotta respect the OG)

I've heard that, in the theme of it being "duo", this time they'll be shipping out units in the double digits.

David’s been doing a lot of retro gaming content lately. Maybe I’m out of the loop, but where’s Emily been? Didn’t this used to be her area of expertise?

I have a superNT and love it to death. That said, if I bought any FPGA console these days it would just be a mister. Especially at that price.

I have to say I have been absolutely loving all of the videos David has been in lately

Dungeon Explorer II on the CD addon of the TG16/PCE is probably one of the best Gauntlet-style games of all time, and it has a kick-ass soundtrack too. Anyone looking at this should check it out. It can be played solo but it actually has support for up to 5 (yes, five) players. It's sick

love fpga consoles, love the aesthetic and cleanliness of analogue, hate their marketing. $250 with no controller when its going for retro console feel is craaazy

The device has a beautiful color. Lost to mostly black cases.

Turbographics + Bomberman = Best dorm room drinking game of all time. Highly recommend.

I thought the two presenters was referred to as the Analogue duo 🤣🤣

Anyone else notice how Tanner uses his right hand on the controller?

I'll forgive you for thinking Ys "started on" the Turbo Grafx because you almost pronounced it correctly. It actually started a little earlier in the PC88/MSX/NES era.

My cousin and I played so much air zonk when we were kids. Every time I would talk about it none of my friends knew anything about it. It's really cool to see this return.

Good hosting btw, nice to see some different people talk about their hobbies

I feel like having tech quickies to reference about hardware emulation and FPGAs would help a lot where the details dont have time to be fleshed out here (and possible missed with how quick the remarks are being done).

I'm super excited for Analogue's N64 they're releasing later this year. I've got a stack of N64 games, but I don't have space for a CRT. I could probably grab a Retro-tink (and probably still will at some point), but I'm really interested to see AnalogueOS on the Analogue3D, as I really like AnalogueOS on my Pocket and want to see what people do with it on a much more powerful console with thumbstick support. Also, native 4k support and no region lock. Also also, the 8bit-do controller they tease at the bottom of the Analogue3D page looks pretty great (though I'm actually a bit of a fan of the original n64 controller, even if it might just be nostalgia goggles.)

From the US and had a TurboGrafx-16. Games were those little card looking things. Anyone remember Splatterhouse?

Dude took the product out of the box and shook it like it owed him money

When can we have Emily back?! We miss her!

Makes me want to fulfill my Ninja Spirit addiction. Legendary Axe, Keith Courage, and Slaughterhouse! Bring back the nostalgia!

I WAS waiting for Mars FPGA - but no way I'm going to give that company money until the product is in the hands of the first buyers.

"Legally backed up" lol

Friends and family know I have retro games, and like to play them when they're over. I wouldn't dream of giving my kids/friends/family a "MiSTer experience". I love my Analogue devices.

i love mine especially now with jailbreak... having all games that exist in a single sd card and playing them fpga is really nice

I still have my original turbo due… love it!

Not sure the controller not included complaint holds any weight, considering the plethora of ways to connect nearly any controller you already have.

Me, under 25 and not a Retro games guy, listening to the first minute: ""ah, so the yabadu, whis is actually the hibbeatata, was the predecessor of the uiuiuiuiui, while in the east devices like the frrrrrrrrrrrrr where more popular. Interesting!"

I wouldn't mind a follow up to this about the RetroTink4K for upscaling the 1080p signal to various 4K resolutions.

Gradius II on CD was amazing

The original Double Dragon DID flicker!!

Pc engine LT is like a laptop monitor thats similar to the old ps1 ones you could get. Pc engine gt is the Japan release of the handheld turbo express

What a convincing title to a product that's the same chips you've been sold four different ways only with an optical drive in it this time. Honestly unless you've got some requirement to plug plastic into plastic, PC Engine's been solved for a decade now, and you can do everything this is doing and more on a $30 used RPi4 1GB. If you step up to the $50 4GB model and apply a minor overclock, it even makes a convincing Dreamcast. If Analogue knew how to scale properly I wouldn't give them so much shit. But they don't, they've been operating on FOMO for at least four generations of FPGA devices now, and it's tiresome to see people buy out their stock to list it for double plus on ebay.

I had a TurboGrafx 16 and loved it. I wish I had all those old games still.

FPGA does hardware emulation. There is no comparison to software emulation.

Waiting for Analogue's N64 console to be seen more.

Got 4 minutes in, and I remember I am usually priced out of these devices. Jumped ahead and was relatively surprised.

I love the 80s-accurate ivory color of the JP model. CRT filter is the best I've seen so far, anywhere. Still waiting for save state updates though!

Super cool deep dive on this product!

3:25. Dude your wingspan ain't 3ft. Proves that Canadians can only measure in "canadian attack cobras/geese", "maple syrup" and "ER wait times"

I know youtube comments are a cesspool but I would love to see Emily back!

Rondo of Blood is sooooo good.

"You can get PC Engine for cheap but they look like a smoker ate them and spat them out." And that's why you get the PC Engine CoreGrafx instead. That's the black re-issue that has RCA instead of RF. I got one a few years ago mainly to play Nectaris (Military Madness). At least back then it was even cheaper to import than the original release PC Engine. Looks cooler and doesn't give you second hand lung cancer, what's not to love?

Mister FPGA for everything up through the PSX/N64 era, then PC software emulation for everything else...

As a non-turbogrfx fan, I am so tempted to get the Analogue Duo. I purchase their NT, and SuperNT and Mega systems, but I also own physical game carts for NES, SNES, and Genesis. Turbogrfx is the only console I don’t own any games for. Scouring eBay, those darn games are EXPENSIVE! I would have been more interested to get one if I own games. From my experience with their other SKUs, if you want the best console to play physical games with native digital video out in HDMI, Analogue products are unbeatable. Analogue is working on a N64 compatible product, and I do own a few N64 GamePaks, so I’m definitely interested in that once it’s available for order.

You have entered Power Drive.

As soon as you said they were caught up on backlog I immediately went and checked the website (which I'm sure everyone else did to) and by the time I got to the site EVERYTHING was sold out, and on the mega-sg page it still says "Sold out, shipping q2 2023". Yikes. I'm not so sure about that caught up on backlog bit.

13:20 N64 core is done now and runs fantastic on mister

I'll only buy one of those FPGA based custom consoles when they add PS2, Dreamcast and Game Cube to them.

Pretty sure it outsold the NES at one point. For like 1-2 years the PC Engine had the highest console install base in Japan. That is which for a few years there were PILES of CD games that released on it over there at one point and kept getting updated.

There has never been a better time to be a gamer. And a big part of that is all these amazing emulators that we have now. You can play pretty much any game for any system whether it be Atari,NES,PS1,Dreamcast,Gamecube and even Switch! Now your more modern consoles (non Nintendo) from around the 8th generation onward don't really have usable emulators yet. But even Xbox 360 and PS3 emulation has come a long way with many games fully playable. Not only are emulators easy to use and more convenient then having a room full of cartridges and discs but they can also make your games look wayyy better than they ever could on the original console. For example 3D systems like the Dreamcast,PS2,Gamecube and Wii run at a resolution of about 640x480. This may have been fine for playing Quake on a CRT on your PC in the late 90s but in today's world with modern flatscreens it looks terrible and muddy. Emulators can increase that resolution to 1080p,4K and even 8K if you have a system and monitor that can handle it. It takes those old blurry games with jagged edges due to poor anti-aliasing and turns them into crisp crystal clear gaming experiences. You will be amazed at just how much better the games look running at such a higher resolution. Even the low res PS1 games running a 320x240 can be cleaned up quite a bit giving you a much better experience than the blocky output of the original console. And it isn't just an increase in resolution that emulators offer they can also allow games to be run in true widescreen mode that never supported it natively. That's right even N64 games can now be played in true widescreen. But it doesn't end there, emulators also allow you to use basically any controller you want for any system. Want to use an Xbox One controller to play N64 and Gamecube? No problem! Or if you want more or an original feel there are a plethora of USB controllers modeled after the original controllers for many systems including 2D retro consoles like the NES and SNES and 3D systems like the N64 and Gamecube. Although why you'd want to force yourself to use an N64 controller is beyond me. Finally is the big question everyone is saying "but Classic80sStuff roms are illegal" Well technically you're right and I'm not going to suggest you go out and download a bunch of roms. But consider this what is a bigger crime? Downloading a game like Panzer Dragoon Saga which has never been re-released in any fashion for play on an emulator? Or forking over up to ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for an original copy to a seller on Ebay. Keep in mind none of the original developers are getting any money from an Ebay sale. So while I can't go tell you to go download roms I'd suggest you use your best judgement. If you liked this comment, look for me in other random videos. I'm the guy who types wayyy too long comments that 90 percent of people won't read. Until next time, keep those tape heads clean and de-magnetized!

listening to you talking about playing with your Mister made me giggle like a hecking child, 10/10

Analogue Pocket + MiSTER is the FPGA combo that satisfies all my needs

Turbogrfx is also an underrated Ye album

I am not an enjoyer of analog consoles and that kind of things, but that seems a very well built device. I am impressed.

There were only five SuperGrafx games released.

If Analogue ever make a multi console, that plays the main 8/16/32-Bit consoles and arcade cabs, with real cart and CD support, I'd be very interested, it would have to have realchip audio support though, with legit OPL2/3/MIDI/Chiptune audio hardware built-in, a high-quality audio DAC and DSP, with full 36-Bit analogue video output options, they could get away with a HQ DSP & an all-in-one synth audio processor with specific audio codecs for each system. FPGA is not very good at audio generation, it's great for pre-sampled/sequenced audio, but you need either a fast RISC or X86 CPU for good audio emulation, and better yet a legit audio ASIC or DP, which have processors designed to crunch and process audio properly without artefacts, jitter, clipping, popping, timing issues and so on.

I take umbrage with calling that a volume rocker. It does not rock, it's a wheel.

The questions are always what do you want something to do or do you expect out of it and what are you willing to pay. Once you come to terms with those two questions then it's just a matter of ease of use and stuff like that. I still prefer for the pocket 100% I just don't see the point in this unless you are using physical games in which case this is the choice to go with I guess. But I've never against more options and more choices, bring it on, the more the merrier.

@08:02 "including the SuperGrafX games. There was like 16 of them that were made". 5 SuperGrafX were made. Then there is an additional 1/2 which could use some SuperGrafX gfx capabilities.

Speaking of mister I'd like to see a video covering the recent updates in the mister ecosystem such as the tapto nfc reader.

Also you say the FPGA is emulation. Depending on what they did, it should be a 1:1 hardware descriptor using circuitware. Emulation is done in software. Circuitware is not software. If they are able to copy the hardware descriptor sufficiently, then it is the same as if they had that. Remember when various companies moved their systems from discrete components to a system on chip but had the same compatibilities? You didn't call that emulation and it was basically the same.

Finally, someone said it in video, fpga is still emulation.

I had a Turbo Grafx 16 growing up and it was better than Sega and nintendo at the time. It was way under appreciated.

Why not use a usb power hub for day to day use and switch to the recommended when doing anything critical like firmware updates.

why no 1440p & 4K output tho

You could have just gotten a Mister....

I'm older than LTT guys but not a fan of retro gaming. The only game I emulated was to try out ChronoTrigger around ten years ago or more. turns out it is amazing technically, gameplay, and rpg.

With an FPGA it is possible to not be emulation, i'm not saying this is bare metal, but that it is possible with an FPGA with reverse engineering and designing the FPGA to do the same things the original hardware did without translating it to some other instruction set

actually those games were on the original pc engine....... y's was on engine cd rom, it was the launch cd title... before the turbo duo or super grafix was created... i know as i have them in my loft....

Did you guys put a ridge wallet on the ground while filming b roll for the Vessi advert?

I'm shocked it actually uses higher USB-C power. Most things like that are A to C only and only accept 2.5 watts. For some reason they reject C only power.

I wonder what the Analogue 3D will be like...

The turbo switches do not work when the recommended 8bitdo controller is connected directly to the Duo console. This is a terrible oversight in my opinion and nobody else seems to notice it.. And when the controller is paired using the dongle you can't adjust the switches individually. The procedure to adjust the turbo switches is also very tedious and the documentation from both 8bitdo and Analogue on this topic is pretty much worthless.

The Analogue Pocket would be the better option if you would be able to buy it.

Tanner's entry cracked me up for some reason

Heh, I thought everyone had forgotten about the TurboGrafx

That sir is classic computer beige. Not pre smoked. 😁

David talks about how he likes it to plug and play and then just gushes about all the options xD. Ill stick with my MisTer, never gonna own any real Turbografx games at the prices they are now & I get access to so kmany more systems. Would love to know the input lag for the controllers on the Analog Duo.

A whole console I've never heard of?

Micro A & B connectors did not happen until 2007.

Analog + Ever Drive is the perfect Duo.

Me at the start: "That colour is just what plastic on tech used to look like! ... Fuck I'm old"

Still not sure why popele would get these dedicated consoles (at them outragious prices) vs just getting a mini pc with emulator. Smoe hardware might have *slight* advantages over emulators but I dont think it is in a impactful way and you have much more customizability on emulators.

bro I thought the guy on the right in the thumbnail was Gustav Vasa at first, lmao.

I have two analogue pockets and it’s amazing

The Analogue Pocket, with the dock, and the TG16 adapter, is pretty similar (missing CD), plus let's you play so many other systems, and is portably.

YES! LTT MENTIONED THE YS SERIES!

On iOS there are at least three applications with the same logo.

11:23 This Guy is a psychopath holding the controller like that

Bring back Emily! Retro time is beloved

The Bonk series is wild!

Well you forgot to mention the controllers need the pocket firmware flashed to then to work correctly and there is only 5 Super grafx games.

Was hoping it would start with the it's retro time opening
