I hear the Nintendo war drums…
I believe the FPGA modules are written with 100% unique, non-Nintendo code. Maybe the only issue could be the cartilage connector? I’ve had an Analogue Pocket for a while and that project hasn’t been taken down.
The cartridge connector is not proprietary. It’s just a commodity off the shelf card edge socket.
Fab, they’re probably fine then.
Apparently Ryujinx the switch emulator has been removed even though it used unique code and the speculation is the owner got paid off to delete it. Makes me wonder if they get you either one way or another
They can’t do anything about this. Analogue already made similar products for the NES, SNES and Game Boy.
I don’t say this often, because big companies usually get what they want, but I think analogue is safe.
It would be the same as all of those cheap SNES/NES/Genesis 3inones you used to see everywhere, Analogue just provides something more “premium”
Has Nintendo sued Analogue before? I assume that Analogue makes sure they’ve got their legal bases covered.
Nintendo:
That’s why these things are always “so close” to being done. You hear the milestone is near, and then it disappears. I have a theory Nintendo waits for as long as they can so people invest a lot, then they send the papers. In a way it discourages people from even starting imo.
Edit: why is this being downvoted. Nintendo slowrolling developers is just like, my opinion man. It’s not controversial
They’re selling their Gameboy one at least :
I own several Analogue products. They’re solid AF.
I was just saying I find Nintendo are slowrolling devs by waiting till the last minute to sue them. I guess it’s to make sure it’s a slam dunk
Meh, get a mister. It’s much more fun.
I know it’s more expensive, but I’d rather get a steam deck and just emulate the games
I just want component to 720 or 1080 for cheap. Don’t want to do soldering or anything xd.
