Analogue just announced its latest console, the Analogue Duo. The company says that the system is region-free and "compatible with nearly every NEC system and game format ever made", including the TurboGrafx-16, PC Engine, SuperGrafx, TurboGrafx CD, PC Engine CD-ROM and Super Arcade CD-ROM. Like the company's other hardware, the Duo plays games from the original hardware rather than ROMs and is using a specialty hardware chip called an FPGA, which operates on a transistor level implementation of its functionality.

​

The system features a cartridge slot and CD-ROM drive which supports Hucards, TurboChips, CD-ROM, SUPER CD-ROM and ARCADE CD-ROM. It also supports both wired and wireless controllers via Bluetooth or 2.4g.

More details on the console is available in the source link below. The Analogue Duo will release in 2020 in limited quantities and is priced at $199.

Seriously stop being a little bitch

Bold words coming from someone bitching about Analog products and collecting games in a pandemic being useless and overpriced. Pot, meet kettle.

It's a good system. My original turbo grafx cd outlived my original psone. My grandfather bought it for us, so it brings back memories of childhood.

Wow a lot of complainers. Why should they care what we want and do?

Ok I get it, you don't like it and that's fine. Personally I'm a collector and will buy it not matter what, and even worse, it'll probably just sit on my game shelf and go unused next to my Super-NG & Mega-SG.

If you don't like it, then don't buy it. We don't care what you think about it, because what you think is none of our business. If you can't afford it but want one, quite complaining and find a job or way to pay for it. Geez, too many whiners...

We don't want one remember we can emulate lmao

Really it is useless and overpriced how many games were released in English or good ones in English a hand ful lmao

So then don't buy it, it's clearly not marketed towards you.

It's not for you. Which means you have no reason to be here. Yet, here you are. Weeeirdddd... "Why buy this when we can emulate burrrrrrr". There's some good reasons not to, I suppose. If emulation is your thing, great. This is a niche item set to appeal to a niche market.

So many of your type in threads involving analogue products. Maybe you just think bragging about piracy is the cool thing to do?

Looked at your posts and you admit to pirating switch games now thats low

If you're gonna bitch about it, at least learn to use the edit button on your posts instead of double posting so lazily.

Wasn't talking to you Grammer nazi I can post however lazy I feel its America lmao

Cant speak for the rest of the threat, but my issue isn't with this device, it's with Analogues stock method, which just feels very anti-consumer when compared with other limited-release items.

Hipsters rejoice!

Grammar* at least spell it right, esp. if you're gonna go on a whiny bitchfest about being overpriced.

Don't like Analog products? Here's an idea, DON'T FUCKING BUY IT

Grow up.

I do buy analogue products not useless ones like this one im sorry that you don't like my opinion and your on the rag raging I get it but its a niche product thats not worth it to me and im allowed to state how I feel you don't like it FUCKING GET OVER IT

Man, who lit the fuse on your tampon? We get it, you don't like it, fine, but bitching isn't going to make any difference.

Talk about angry look at your post above mine I was laughing at you spoofing you I don't take you seriously at all your laughable I get it you get off to my comments so I will put you on ignore cause I'm sick of seeing so many alerts like your a little girl with her first smartphone

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Can we please move on if the games were more affordable I would definitely get one of these

Probably best for us to move on. She obviously doesn't get that we don't care what she thinks, but she still has a lot to say. She doesn't seem to have anyone else to listen to her cry's for help, but doesn't get that we don't care either. Teenage girls can be the worst...

There are some absurdly accurate software emulators for certain platforms but latency remains a challenge. Even on powerful hardware, there's so many ways for a multitasking OS to mildly screw up the timing. Getting that timing perfect is primarily what makes the FPGA consoles "feel" so authentic and play the best even if they don't always look and sound the best. Its also easier to program because you can just run processes in actual parallel rather than having to simulate them acting in parallel.

I have been impressed with Retroarch's run-ahead 1 frame to reduce internal/emulated input lag, which compensates pretty well for the visual lag on a decent monitor, especially if combined with freesync/g-sync support since few consoles ran at exactly 60 hz. However that only works on some cores, ones which are less accurate than high-end stuff like Higan, and audio still lags behind significantly (several frames) because buffering is needed to avoid pops and breaks. Still the one big sticking point on me with FPGA is that there is typically a lack of headroom to do save states, and I just don't want to sit down for hours at a time playing through some of these old games in one go.

you speak sense
