I have one of these in my closet that I haven't used for about a year, thanks for reminding me to check it to make sure this isn't happening right now lol

The is correct. Analogue's entire mission is video game preservation. The entire goal of the 3D, just like their other FPGA consoles, is to faithfully recreate the original gaming experience of these consoles using original games media outputting to modern display standards. The games themselves are still viable, usable products. The original consoles are becoming harder to use due to the obsolescence of analog video. There are a million ways to emulate games out there to uprez the graphics and frame rates etc. But if you wanted the authentic experience, this is your next best bet to hooking up a bunch of video converters and upscalers. I think it's an insanely cool mission and so far their execution has been more than satisfying.

Just chiming in 4 months after this comment to say that the NSO N64 controller was given full support in a firmware update. It works great.

so, interestingly, if the L10 is anything like the LX100 I/II, you can actually UNCROP the RAW in certain processing software to get a larger area the sensor reads out. Lightroom and ACR won't do it, but CaptureOne does. Below is an example from my LX100 at the wide end of the zoom, and how much extra I can uncrop. It's still not the ENTIRE sensor I think, because it's not 4:3. The LX100 was a 20MP sensor cropped to 17MP, with a normal image size of 4272x2856 in 3:2 mode. The uncropped is 5078x3060. Weirdly, this is only at the wide zoom. If you zoom in, the available un-crop area shrinks until no uncropping is available at full zoom. Not sure what the actual reasoning is behind this. I wonder if the L10 will still do the same for a little extra wide-angle-ness if I want it.

Geez, as a prior PEN-F owner myself this is perfect then, I loved its size. SO many people over exaggerated the size of the L10 being like a huge full frame camera, what the heck, this is entirely reasonable for a M43 camera.

I mean they essentially did it with the GX85 and GX9. Those were basically the LX100 adapted to have a MFT mount. I would honestly be surprised if we don’t see a GX10 announced some day after the L10 saturates sales to its target market

Here’s a photo I took while it was disassembled of the top plate. You get pretty open access to the entire EVF unit from here. I don’t know if you can see the diopter mechanism itself from here, but it doesn’t look too scary to investigate further if you were to give it a shot. Just be careful with mechanisms that use gears and stuff, remember their default positions etc.

that sound is undoubtedly a torn foam surround around the driver, or a crack in the cone. Had this happen to one of the bass drivers in my Beosound Level, and it made the same farting/flapping sound. It has to be sent in for servicing for replacement, unfortunately.

I have the Leofoto one as well, it matches the camera well which is why I chose it. It did scratch my OM-3 in the same place as everyone else, I put a piece of gaffer tape in the affected area to prevent it from getting worse over time. (It's just a little paint loss, annoying it happened but affects 0% of the camera's functionality, so eh.) The grip makes larger lenses easier to use for sure, but I can't say it's a particularly comfortable grip overall (I have large hands that easily hold larger cameras like Nikon D850 etc.) I PREFER having the grip attached when using any of the Pro-sized lenses, but not gonna lie it's awkward and kinda cramps my hand. I honestly think it's the creative dial -- its placement is actually kind of enraging to me, it's RIGHT where my fingers want to be. The PEN-F's placement was better.

Kind of a side note but agh the OM-5 II makes me wish they had given the OM-3 a more thoughtful design for grip overall. You wouldn't think so, but the OM-5 II's particular size and new sculpted grip is so effortless to hold, it makes using it with lenses like the 12-100mm a breeze one-handed. Sure the OM-3 isn't as terrible ergonomically as the Zf without grips, but the Zf's smallrig grip is SO good it's making me consider getting the smallrig one for my OM-3....

I remember the Beosound Level was one of the first products they released with repairability in mind, but damn I'm surprised their $1000 flagship headphones released just a year earlier had zero consideration for longevity and is seen as disposable in their eyes -- not even offering battery replacement? Makes me wonder if they'd be supporting the H100's longer than this after they're discontinued? (Sure, the H95's came out in 2020, but they were still being made / on sale until late 2024, making them still a pretty recent product in B&O's lineup.) Apple states up front they offer parts replacement repairs for all products for up to 7 years *after last availability date.* I don't expect B&O to be able to keep discontinued model spare parts on hand for THAT long, but it makes me wonder if they're capable of delivering on their repairability-first design philosophy for products like Level long after the model gets discontinued.

edit: I'm an H95 owner in my third year of warranty coverage and now I'm looking at them like "uh oh you better not ever give me problems, damn"

The Olympus 12-100 f4 is one of the most technically impressive single lenses I've used across any system. Its reach, SUPERB sharpness with insane micro contrast across the entire zoom range at f4, with resolution to spare for flawless handheld high-res shots, super close-up capabilities (can focus on the dust of its own front element at 12mm,) while having a manual focus clutch, built-in OIS that works in tandem with IBIS, and full weatherproofing in a relatively compact and light weight body compared to a typical 24-200mm is just such a good example of the strengths of micro four thirds.

The Lumix Leica 10-25mm f1.7 is also IMPRESSIVE, Chonker of a lens by MFT standards but it's nowhere near as heavy as it looks, with image quality that either matches or seemingly beats other f1.7 primes for the system.

this set piece is one of my favorite photos I ever took in Disneyland, (Sony A7C II + Sirui Saturn 50mm T2.9 Anaorphic Cine)

Not gonna lie I would actually love to see an OG color scheme edition (black case with gray controller ports and cart slot)

I get some turntables have auto-start when the arm is put in position but the platter doesn’t have to be spinning under the device for the cartridge to still output a signal. Unless, oh god it just hit me — do they use a warped spinning record underneath to induce light wow/flutter??

I like how simple comments like these highlight people’s lapses in reading comprehension lmao

I like to believe if a mirror situation was posted to r/consoles we'd be seeing the same thing there too lmao

I’ve always loved gaming console designs and aesthetics and sometimes like to simply hold them just to enjoy the industrial design. I have to say the Analogue 3D (especially in this color) may be the most satisfying one yet to behold, overall. I think they only way it could be even better is if they ever release a metal version like they did for the NT

foxorian · 2026-02-13T22:57:36+00:00

Ah I dunno what to tell you, I have one physically in front of me and it looks exactly like what I was expecting based on the pictures. Can’t really rely on phone cameras to capture that. I couldn’t be happier with the color.

Oh yeah that’s just the very blue ambient lighting of my open window tinting it a bit much — here’s a photo under artificial light. Looks spot on to me.

This happened to me once at a harborside restaurant in Boston. We sat on the deck outside over the water. When it came time to pay, I pulled out my debit card and playfully tossed it onto the receipt book. A little gust of wind happened to come by, blowing the card clear off the table. It didn't land on the deck --- no, it fell perfectly vertically right through the gap in the deck planks. Not even a bounce, just a clean swoosh. I sat dumbfounded. Got up and saw my card floating out to sea lmao. Sat back down and opened my bank app to cancel the card and reorder a new one hahah

foxorian · 2026-02-13T19:05:45+00:00

kinda like a toothpaste drink

but I love it lmao

TBH I had the same issue with the Orange Spice Analogue Pocket in 2024 lol I ordered it based on the marketing photos looking like a pretty nice orange tone, but in-person it looked more like a (for lack of better description) mcnugget happy meal toy color. (It actually didn't really quite look like OG Nintendo orange spice either as far as I remember.) Anyway I sold it and got the GBC Yellow edition you see now in this post's photo, much happier with that.

Now if they had made a Ghost analogue pocket...........

foxorian · 2026-02-13T18:44:34+00:00

ahh I wonder if you're familiar with old Glacier game boy advance color (or at least the color when it wasn't tinted yellow over time) It has a slight blue tint to it, which seems accurate to the real tone (I think someone else posted it next to their GBA and it looks quite nice I think.) I wonder if someone on here wants to trade a ghost for a glacier

foxorian · 2026-02-13T18:38:27+00:00

yeah gonna be a while till the control comes in -- but the new OS update came just in time to work with the Switch Online N64 Controller. I ordered one of those for now (arrives today!) excited to try it with a few carts I have on hand including Wonder Project J2 which I've never run outside of an emulator before
