Several people were sent test copies of Analogue’s much anticipated prototype DAC (digital to analogue converter), which connects the Super Nt and Mega Sg, and future Analogue products, to CRT TVs, Monitors, and PVMs. I posted a video overview of the unit, and another video showing off light gun support.
The Analogue Mega Sg and Super Nt received official firmware updates this week, and two days later the unofficial custom “jailbreak” firmwares were updated. Both received a host of fixes and new features, perhaps the most exciting being the addition of special chips (DSP-1, DSP-2, DSP-3, DSP-4, CX4, ST010, ST011) to the Super Nt. Super […]

Arcade power supplies are designed to be installed inside of arcade cabinets, where they are safe from hands, kids, and pets. Supergun users however often use arcade PSUs out in the open, where the exposed power terminals pose a serious safety hazard. 3D printed terminal covers solve this problem by encasing the terminals in plastic, […]
