Why purchase this when emulators and mods exist?

[โ€“] olmec@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This device is FPGA, and not emulation. The chip recreates itself to act exactly as the N64's chips would run. The benefits are that you get less input lag, more accurate gameplay, and you can use your original cartridges/controllers in a plug and play set up.

This doesn't replace emulation, but if you are serious about playing older console games, Analogue's FPGA products are a great premium solution.
