analogue are making a N64 emulator box and only selling a two-pronged controller, the cowards

it just looks wrong

also they're still claiming "no emulation" which is even more ridiculous when they're upping the render resolution to 4K

@noiob Is it FPGA based? In that case it actually could be no emulation.

@Natanox it's still emulation when the emulator runs on an FPGA. FPGAs aren't magic chip replication machines

@noiob Of course they're not, however it still ain't emulation but something akin to hardware-level translation. That's way more precise given the hardware actually does what the original machine did.

@Natanox how is that different from low-level software emulation

@Natanox they're selling a good product, no doubt (whether it's worth the money I will leave as an excercise to the reader), but their "no emulation" slogan is just marketing and every journalist is just parroting it

@mxdragon the same person who misaligned one of the controller ports, I'm guessing
