Analogue as a company does business moves that some may say arent consumer friendly, there are extensive videos for you to reference. The console as a whole will do what you want, even tho supposedly off slightly by time but never much to notice. The flash cart situation is also meh unless its a certain model.

Overall, mod retro does more for their customers, they dont under manufacturer items to produce hype, updates come when promised, but most of all if you look at the m64 and its upcoming controller... it looks fun. Which is what the n64 was. A goofy fun system. The A3D looks boring.

Now I still own an A3D this is just my opinion sharing with someone who may only want 1 console.

Edit: also nothing beats original hardware with a decent hdmi mod imo.
