Maximizing the Analogue 3D
The Analogue 3D was designed as a modern take on the N64. This post is to help you maximize quality with modern displays (IMO). I’m using a 4K gaming projector but a modern TV will give you identical quality. The final images will show you my tweaking but you will have to change the image fit and size depending on what your playing (all other settings are to be untouched besides image size and image fit). Im using a SummerCart64 which is only $50 on AliExpress. The N64 provides 16:9 support so I updated some games with the support: OOT & Majora’s Mask can take a patch update for 16:9 and the 3DS model for link. Smash Remix and Mario Kart 64 Amped Up also include widescreen support.
ALL GAMES SHOWCASED WIDESCREEN ARE NATIVE & ALL OTHERS GAMES ARE CINEMA ZOOM. THE FINAL IMAGES WILL SHOW YOU WHATS USED FOR EACH GAME.
Super Nintendo works with the latest firmware update 1.5.0. However, not all games. My last images show you all the well running games, it’s limited but the goats work (Secret of Mana has font glitches, Pocky & Rocky works great just ignore the startup). I will leave display settings for those as well. Comment if you have any questions. I’m probably not updating the console further to preserve this quality. This is to be determined.
SNES games tested & playable:
Chrono Trigger
Frogger
Harvest Moon
Mega Man X 1
Metal Warriors
Pocky & Rocky 1 (glitchy start up logo)
R-Type 3
Secret of Mana (font issues)
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Castlevania IV
Super Mario World
Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past
SNES ROM hacks tested & playable:
Dottie Dreads Nought
Metroid Fusion
Super Junkoid
I’m sure there are tons more but I tested about 50+ games and most of them didn’t even boot up. DK series worked but had audio issues which is why it didn’t make the list. Please comment any games you found playable!
SNES Display:
Games like Street Fighter 2 and Mega Man X look good with Fill & Cinema Zoom but some games like Super Mario World look best with Integer+ & Original. I prefer using Fill & Cinema Zoom to get the most out of my 143 inch display for SNES games.
ORIGINAL NES: not working for the Analogue 3D but it will on the original N64. I have some ideas to make it work but time is not on my side.
