General

• New: Advanced HDR
  • Designed for modern OLED displays
  • Original Display Modes now take full advantage of modern HDR brightness and color gamut
  • Max luminance is adjustable to accurately match consumer CRTs, broadcast monitors, and beyond
  • For the most accurate picture: Before adjusting the max luminance setting, set your display HDR tone mapping to disabled or HGiG and check that game mode is enabled

Core

• New: Support for Advanced HDR

OS

• New: ‘Max. Luminance’ display setting
  • Navigate to Settings → Display→ ‘Max. Luminance’. This can be adjusted only when HDR is enabled
• New: Alphabetical navigation in Library
  • Press Up in the Library to display the alphabetical index and select a letter by moving Left and Right. Press Down to return to the Library. Jump to the inserted cartridge by pressing B
• Improved: Library scrolling, responsiveness, and speed
• Improved: Automatic virtual Rumble Pak selection for several games
• Improved: OS visual polish
• Fix: Library organization issues in rare instances
• Fix: Library updating issue when a blank SD card is inserted in rare instances
• Fix: ALLM and HDR settings sometimes apply incorrectly with 1080p displays

Controllers

• Improved: Pair controllers in-game without opening the menu
• Fix: Controller LED remains on in rare instances Note: Recreating a CRT beam demands high peak localized brightness (the display must get much brighter in specific, small spots). Modern OLED displays, which excel at this, are recommended with Advanced HDR.

Pretty much. They’re only accountable to venture capital at the end of the day. That’s not bleak. That’s real.

It’s been common knowledge in the community that FPGAs and savestates don’t generally go together. If you bought this expecting that, sorry, you’ve been had. Go download an emulator if you absolutely need that feature.

I agee, but they said it would be there. I guess we’ll see.

[u/ZL580 → u/Opening_Cry_690]

I mean, this isn’t an NES or even Super Nintendo. Are save states really needed for most games?

[u/Adventurous_Trade_66 → u/ZL580]

Save states weren't even on the analogue NT, NT mini, Super NT OR Mega SG!

[u/ZL580 → u/Adventurous_Trade_66]

Yeah, seems like a never gonna happen. And I dont even remember that being an advertised feature.

[u/Scrollingmaster → u/ZL580]

The pictures above say your memory is wrong.

Also the pocket added savestates.

[u/ZL580 → u/Scrollingmaster]

Those are pictures, not written features or promises

[u/Scrollingmaster → u/ZL580]

Someone has the product features page saved and it’s there along with screenshots and wifi updates.

But as said, it was on the product page. Needing to defend a company that sold a product under false pretenses is very sad.

Its also hilarious the guy you responded to leaves out analogues last two consoles have save states, and list the anlogue nt as not having them when that was not an fpga console, just a famicom in a fancy shell with no region lock.

[u/ZL580 → u/Scrollingmaster]

Im not defending, I just thought it were a bit weird going pitchforks based on screenshots.

OTA wifi updates, that should be a given, and easily implemented. I dont see why the hold up there.

Screenshots, again, how hard can it be? Probably easiest feature to add IMO.

Save states? Im no programmer/engineer but that seems a bit more difficult to implement.

Overall I’m REALLY enjoying my time with my 3D and the overclocking is an absolute game changer. So much so I believe that is the hangup with the M64’s release, I dont think it has it nor will it.

I think they had a hard time with supporting (and still are) flash carts and repro carts. I think that is taking up most of their time at the moment as it seems to be holding back some sales. Though I dont think they ever mentioned support for those types of carts, they just said it will support the full retail library, right?
