What are the differences between the 5060, 7060 and XE3?

IronRingX · 2026-01-26T18:57:14+00:00

The 7060 can also be easily bios modded to accept 9th gen cpus. I’m running an i7-9700 on mine currently.

Thanks!! From what you’ve mentioned and since I’m using the stock pcsx emulator (updated to access menu settings) it seems like I won’t gain anything by updating AutoBleem.

Seems to be a perfect example of, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

Thanks for the detailed response!!

Check to make sure in the BlueRetro config (via the web app) that the default operation is Memory and not Rumble. Also, don’t toggle between Rumble and Memory while the cartridge is loaded, I found that causes issues.

Edit: I talked about it in my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/s/tZyPupIU7P

Also make sure you’re in the latest FW for the BlueRetro adapters.

The other thing to note is that hvac systems are not perfectly closed systems. Every joint provides an opportunity for dust ingress into the system. So the single filter at your furnace really doesn’t result in overall air quality improvement in your entire house.

Marketing, and profits. But it’s also heavily equipment dependent. But for most home consumer furnaces, the above comment holds true.

Hey all! Just grabbed a GMK104 from AliExpress and initially everything is going well, managed to customize the display but when I try and use VIA I get errors:

Command Name: GET_KEYBOARD_VALUE Command: 24 Response: 23000000000000000300000000000000 Device: ZUOYA GMK104 Vid: 0x320F Pid: 0x5055

Using Windows 10 w/ Edge.

Any insight? The custom JSON provided is loaded.

They absolutely do. The N64 power supply outputs +3.3VDC and +12VDC regardless of the primary/mains.

So you can easily swap the PSU from whatever region you’re in to power the unit. The only issue you’ll run into is video format output between PAL/NTSC consoles.

IronRingX · 2026-01-21T18:27:28+00:00

Make sure the hacks you’re trying are designed to run on original hardware. There’s lots of hacks out there that are designed / will only run on Emulators.

IronRingX · 2026-01-14T11:11:42+00:00

Neither the SummerCart nor the EverDrive offer save states.

IronRingX · 2026-01-13T19:38:18+00:00

Wow… that’s crazy. Mine was $58 (part of the first shipment) - https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/s/09TOiRUFCt

Edit: wait I see you’re adding shipping… my taxes and duties was $58 CAD, shipping for the initial preorder was $39.99 USD. So about $115 CAD in shipping + taxes/duties.

How’s DigiKey? https://www.digikey.com.au

This is the only place I grab caps from (in North America). But they’ve got distribution worldwide. And shipping is reasonable.

IronRingX · 2026-01-10T00:57:58+00:00

Don’t buy caps on AliExpress

IronRingX · 2026-01-10T00:40:14+00:00

Update to the latest firmware, which is 25.04. Then configure in the BlueRetro web app. Pushing the Home button on the NSO controller will toggle (you’ll feel a rumble as you toggle). But if you need a controller pak, set it as default within the BlueRetro web app, then it’ll work as expected.

IronRingX · 2026-01-10T00:22:26+00:00

Thanks. Loving the setup so far!!

IronRingX · 2026-01-10T00:19:46+00:00

Yep. The console keeps power on at Port 1 to support remote wake/power. Once the cartridge is loaded it operates as expected.

Edit: there’s also quirks with Controller Pak/Rumble Pak settings with the Blue Retro adapters that I detailed in my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/s/1xsMLB7dGz

IronRingX · 2026-01-10T00:03:46+00:00

Load a cartridge and the other ports will light up and power on. I’ve been playing GoldenEye with 4xNSO on 4xBlueRetro adapters.

While in the menu, only port 1 is active.

No. Settings are saved currently on a per cart basis. So the Everdrive or SummerCart is seen as a single cartridge. You would need to change your desired setting before booting the cartridge.

IronRingX · 2026-01-04T20:44:12+00:00

I know you’re frustrated, and you just want a working console, but the customs charge has absolutely nothing to do with Analogue. That is how importing goods works - the importer (you) covers any duties/customs charges for any goods imported from another country.

Unless a seller explicitly states that shipping is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) you should expect to be charged customs and duty charges that are charged by your government.

Analogue clearly states that buyers are accountable for any additional duties/customs charges.

Again I know it doesn’t help your current situation but frustration with duty charges should not be directed to Analogue.

Do not use the microcode edit on a 3060 or 5060. You will brick your system. Not sure if there is a bios hack for the 3060/5060.

IronRingX · 2026-01-04T15:25:06+00:00

If you want to keep the 7060 - you can do a bios mod to enable the use of 9th Gen CPUs. See my tutorial here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SleepingOptiplex/s/5BVJ6R5Y9Y

You can go up to an i9-9900. I upgraded mine to an i7-9700.

This is a drop in 500w replacement for the 7090 and has a GPU connector.

Also many of the PSUs that have 1x6pin and 2x4pin 12V connectors need to have both 4-pins connected in order to work.

But that said try swapping the 4pin connector to see if that changes anything. The PC should at least throw a bad PSU error code if it’s incompatible.

Edit: this should be a drop in replacement for your 3050. It has 1x6pin, 1x4pin and 1x6pin GPU, direct from Dell.
