They made a range of translucent models that sold out in less than a minute and (surprise, surprise) seemingly all found their way on to eBay for three times the original price.
It wasn’t for a long time, but apparently they were able to crack it for emulation. That said, the whole appeal of the Analogue was for the genuine, native playback of physical cartridges. Emulation doesn’t seem to have basic features you’d expect from an emulation device like save states or fast-forward. If I were you, I’d go for something like the RG35xx or the Miyoo Mini +
If you don’t have cartridges, at the moment it may be hard to justify the price. The reason is the screen - it is so high resolution, it will emulate sub-pixel LCD screen characteristics from the original GB/GBC/GG screens, BUT ONLY for physical cartridges OR GB/GBC games that have been converted to .pocket files (you can do this easily, but it’s still an extra step).
So for most people, it will play similar to the much cheaper Miyoo Mini or other Chinese emulation handhelds.
However, there has been a long-held expectation that Analogue will enable display mode options in the OpenFPGA cores, which would erase this handicap and mean absolutely, if you want to get the real experience of these systems, this is the only game in town. But it hasn’t happened yet. You may not be able to buy a system later though, when it happens, so it’s kind of a gamble.
I don’t think it will ultimately be good for the world for MS to gain the amount of market power that is up for grabs in the AI land rush. I have the sinking suspicion that the odds that Sam Altman will be a footnote in history just went way up, and the chances that it’ll be a positive footnote went down.
This seems like the most accurate speculation I’ve seen yet. Sam’s got a lot of buddies over at Microsoft as they’ve been working with OpenAI for some time now
Well, I'm sure that if the Idaho National Laboratory caves to these hackers' demands and invents a particle beam cannon that transforms its target into a catgirl it's likely that the technology will be possible to generalize into catboys, foxgirls, and other similar animal-people. Heck, perhaps they can dial it all the way up to deer. I'll need to come up with a more specific username if that happens. So even if these hackers aren't NCD themselves they're probably natural allies.
Reactor development HR departments aren't really national security targets. I mean MAAAYBE you could get plutonium if you blackmailed them, but not really.
