Pre-orders are open, and it seems the units are all boxed and ready to ship out in coming weeks. Any thoughts on this unit?

When I read that you can turn on borders to block unsightly overscan, I ordered one immediately

At $200 with shipping it seems a little expensive, but if you compare to the cost of a Hi-Def NES mod, it's not bad.

I plan to pair it with an NES30 bluetooth controller for some modern retro HD wireless fun!

Now I just need to buy some NES carts to go with it...

There are times when not searching is a bad thing, this sort of thing you tend to want to add the info for though, doubly so as not everybody is going to be familiar with some of the specifics of NES clones.

Hardware NES/Famicom clone, full compatibility with retail/homebrew carts and most NES peripherals

is it an emulator or got very similar hardware?

 

[XiTaU]

I assume it wont work with an everdrive otherwise id be very interested.

edit
quote from retrousb " Real hardware means no boot or loading times. No stolen software emulators or buggy NOAC chips. A wide range of gamepad, video, and cheat options to play the way you want."

so actually very interested.

I'm pretty sure it works with the everdrive. I'm sure I saw a post somewhere saying it does, but can't find it at the moment .

 

[garbanzox]

Yes it's confirmed working with Everdrive.

It's a hardware clone, not emulation, so it will have full compatibility. If it runs on an NES, it will run on this.

It looks like these started shipping. Will anyone here be providing us with a review?

Just got mine today. Working great with the Everdrive. This thing is truly impressive. Huge props to bunnyboy and everyone else involved!

It's an FPGA that essentially mimics the hardware of the NES. No emulation is actually done.
