Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?

I bought the new N64,the Anologue 64 because I still have all my old N64 games and they have just been sitting on a shelf or in a container. I was planning on modding my N64 to add an upscaler, HDMI support and USBC PD, but then I saw the A64 and said Merry Christmas to me.
I’m playing Perfect Dark again and am so happy. Did you know you could use 2 controllers to have two movement control sticks!? The game also supports 16:9 and has “high res” option. It looks and plays amazing still.

The high red option just tanked your fps from 24 to around 12 if I remember correctly. Does it still run at a decent clip on the A64?

The A3D (or A64) has an option to “overclock” the chipset so games that used to crawl on OG hardware run buttery smooth

This! It runs so buttery smooth for the most part it’s crazy. It feels like 60 fps, but I have no current way to see stats. I think there is a dev console but I haven’t messed with it yet.
I really can’t wait for the modern wireless controllers to come in. They ship next month.
I also have mod kits coming for the og controllers with new joysticks and wireless connection.
It’s just been really fun playing my old games again.
