Are Analogue's clone consoles worth it?

They seem quite pricey, is it only worth it if you're an enthusiast of the original hardware and want the best output picture quality possible?

why would you buy a clone console if you wanted the original hardware?

This. Either get the original hardware or just emulate it. These knockoff consoles aren't worth it.

I'm not OP and I know nothing about this subject. How are they worse than the original hardware? Do they not run the games correctly or accurately? I'm just curious. I've never seen this shit.

What do you even want it for?

OP, are you retarded?

If you're an enthusiast of the original hardware, you get the original hardware and put the $190 towards an upscaler instead.

Best of all, an upscaler can be used for multiple consoles instead of spending $190+ per platform you want to play.

If you want an FPGA box, wait 5 years for the Chinese to clone the existing ones and shovel them out at $50 apiece.

For systems like the SNES, 99.9% accurate emulation is already possible. There's no reason to obtain the original hardware.

the analog at least is basically perfect, but it's also $200 so it's kinda silly when for the most part you could just get an emulator box that most people would be fine with or an actual snes for significantly less money, if it had sd2snes like functionality built in the price would be a bit better but it doesn't

cool. thanks

Dawg, not even those retro controllers are worth it, we're not kids anymore nes and snes are uncomfortable AF. Sega Saturn controller is the only good classic controller.

ITT: ignorant soi boys

Stupid af. The snes is well known as one of the most comfortable controllers in history. Go fuck yourself zoomer.

Has the Mega SG gotten the Rom update yet? The Super NT's update was available on launch day

>called Analogue
>doesn't have analog output

Depends on your goals.

You can't do a speed-run and be taken seriously, if you care about that.

You can play your old carts with your old controllers, often of several console varieties on the same machine, and to hdmi out, so it works for the "honest" player that doesn't want to pirate.

If you are however, fine with the idea of emulating a downloaded rom, you can do much better than these cart systems.

It's a weird middle ground market where someone wants to use their own carts, but doesn't have a crt, and also thinks an ossc or retro tink is too complex. Really the analogue consoles aren't bad though. Like if you only played super nintendo and only wanted to play super nintendo and don't have a CRT then I'd recommend it. But most people into retro games want to play more than just one console so I'd say just get a scaler if accuracy is your main concern.

The original hardware wont always be around.

just saying "but you won't be able to buy a snes in 80 years from now when you're dead anyway" is a really bad argument for buying a clone console today

I bought one of the knock-off consoles a few years back. No frills, plays NES, SNES, and Genesis. Not even a fancy version of the device, it's the S-video version. It was cheap, and played the games the same as the original hardware, except with a better video connection and taking up less space. I didn't really use the thing longer than a week after I purchased it to be honest, I usually just emulate. I mostly bought it out of curiosity. Also, my actual NES worked great before I boxed it up 30 years ago, and while I assume it still works, it would kinda break my heart if I plugged it in and saw smoke.

i got one and an everdrive for it. its cool but its also just a novelty for me as i barely play games any more. long story short i got super drunk one night and ordered one. its a cool device if youre really into SNES

Technically this is closer to an upscaler combined with a hardware mod, so it does have its appeal.

>i got one and an everdrive for it
Why the Everdrive? The NT plays ROMS right from the system
