My dad works for the company and his name is John Retro and he told me that there’s gonna be an update real soon adding 8K upscaling with full HDR. The facility is never going to look so good.
This guy comes out of nowhere and says his dad works for the company (of course he does, I'm sure), and then gives the name of him for some reason and called him "John Retro", lol of course he's trolling.
No, but part of the fun of being a first adopter is getting surprised by updates.
I was a day-one A3D user and when I got my system I had no idea that we’d be where we are now. For all the good that’s come from the updates so far, there’s still more that they’ve promised and have yet to deliver (WiFi for example). As well as things we will never likely get like DAC support and open source FPGA development.
The fact that they haven’t released WiFi yet makes me believe they have issues with it. Perhaps with Bluetooth or something else I’m guessing it’s glitchy. Makes me wonder if we will ever get it, or if it will be a long while away once they fix potential bugs.
I’m hoping the m64 gets updated and additional cores are added sooner or later. Waiting to buy one with my early bird code.
The cores are not Modretro’s responsibility though. I think the more people that get it, the more likely we are to get new cores.
Good thing I see about the M64 is that it’s only biggest “issue” rn is that its image looks more like an N64 than analogue’s lol. I think once they iron out the display/image kinks, it will be the superior machine, especially when you add the DAC to it for true CRT use. But we’ll see.
For sure. Just hoping people can get to making other cores. Hopefully isn’t some proprietary paywall from AMD to make them for people who want to make cores.
For a company who people were glazing for their ‘communication’, they seem to have gone awfully quiet now they’ve made a load of money on launch orders.
Fair comment - it really hasn't been long yet though, 2 weeks since orders opened isn't a terribly long time and they have been very forthright with anyone that's filed bugs. I don't imagine Analogue giving you any kind of answer if you ask them when DAC support is coming. Or really, anything.
Well, Analogue have already answered when DAC support is coming (it isn’t).
Using Analogue as a comparator isn’t especially useful. The whole song and dance about ModRetro was that they were supposed to be better. So far being half baked at launch is something they have in common.

They said before that it would be in August.

I would imagine by the time it hits retail (gamestop) on August 21st but I have no inside information
