Analogue Nt Mini Review - FPGA NES Console Also Plays Sega Master System, Coleco and More!

The Analogue Nt Mini is a NES clone console that costs a small fortune but just got very interesting due to a "jailbreak" firmware that adds additional systems and SD card support for game roms. See gameplay footage here: http://lon.tv/0gs84

I had no desire to purchase this as I was happy with my RetroUSB AVS that I reviewed a few months ago. But now that there's a jailbreak from the author of the original FPGA core this just got a whole lot more interesting to me.

The reason is that this console can now play more than just NES games. As of this recording it supports the Sega Master System, ColecoVision and Game Gear with more systems to come. The jailbreak also allows for rom files to be booted directly from an SD card vs. a cartridge - even when running NES games.

I also discovered that its native 1080p output resolution offers a more accurate representation of how NES games should look given that their pixels were stretched on old CRT TVs.
