While Analogue’s consoles are advertised as a way for retro gaming enthusiasts to enjoy their original physical libraries in high-fidelity, every one of their FPGA consoles eventually receives a semi-official “jailbreak” firmware that allows them to run game titles from the SD card slot. This trend continued yesterday with the release of a jailbreak for […]
(Update #2: August 14, 2023) In the face of legal threats from Cybdyn, danhas42 has taken the perfectly reasonable course of action to not release LiteMenu or its source code. The PS-IOwned project is—allegedly—still working on their own implementation though, but only time will tell how they react to similar pressures. (Update #1: August 13, […]
Sega Game Gear, Master System, and SG-1000 cores for the Analogue Pocket have just been released by spiritualized1997, the same developer behind the GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance cores that were released shortly after the v1.1 beta Pocket firmware. If you’ve run those cores then it won’t be a surprise to you that these ones […]
I just released the Analogue Nt Mini Noir Jailbreak. For all the juicy details and instructions, see my new video. There is way too much to list here, but in short there are several new and improved cores, a complete overhaul of the NES JB core, and most importantly, the return of CopyNES, the cartridge […]
As an Oculus Quest VR headset owner, I was shocked to receive an email informing that my headset would soon become useless without a FaceBook account. Having made purchases on the Oculus Store, it felt like robbery, since these titles would no longer be accessible. No warning was given of such a move when the […]
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 […]
I just posted the Analogue Mega Sg Jailbreak firmware v7.5 on Github. This release brings all of the fixes from official firmware v4.5, plus: CD BIOS replacement works now after a reboot Coleco Gradius mapper + flash memory supported. Use extension .CF0 for this game. Coleco Jungle Hunt / Learning with Leeper had stuttering scrolling. […]
The Analogue Mega Sg just got another firmware update, both for the jailbroken version, as well as the “official” firmware. Honestly though, there’s zero reason to use the official firmware; Even if you predominately use an Everdrive for Genesis and SMS ROMs, this jailbreak allows for Game Gear and Colecovision ROMs to be played as well!!! […]
An “unofficial” firmware for the newly-released Mega Sg has just been posted. This allows the launch of Genesis, Master System, Game Gear and Colecovision ROMs from an SD card connected to the console. The firmware also implements a few bugfixes and feature tweaks. The firmware and more information can be found here and pics of […]
People have been reporting that they can load more games into the Playstation Classic, simply by putting ISO’s on a USB stick and editing the SQL database file that stores information about the built-in games. While I wouldn’t say this makes the PSClassic “appealing”, if someone comes up with an easy, downloadable zip file (just […]
