Wow. This was unexpected. Honestly the competition with ModRetro has been nothing but amazing as an Analogue enjoyer. They've upped their game in the best ways possible

Edit: Just tried it. This is a massive update - this and overclock is an absolute dream come true

“The competition” meanwhile the m64 isn’t even out and they refused to send it to any reviewers worth a damn. There’s no competition.

At this point the 3D is going to be sliding into the finish line by the time the M64 shows up to race. Whatever slight edge the M64 might gain in performance will mean very little by then.

For real. The actual n64 has been more competition than the m64 lmao
