Re: The FPGA N64 Analogue 3D Has Been Delayed

@Lorfarius Yeah, the challenges associated with N64 emulation (especially with the bells and whistles this promises) have me a little bit skeptical. Don't get me wrong: if anyone can do it, Analogue can, as the Analogue Pocket is one of the finest pieces of game hardware I own. I'm just waiting to be convinced once the device is out in the wild.

@845H On the plus side, the high-res polygon/low-res backgrounds should only be an issue for Dino Crisis 2 - the series debut was noteworthy for having fully-3D environments, unlike contemporary Resident Evil titles. The downside was that environments were less detailed, so they switched to pre-rendered for Dino Crisis 2.

Thanks for publicizing this - I just bought a copy through your link! I have an ebook version of the first Untold History of Japanese Developers Volume but a physical edition of the condensed version is a must-have item. This will be a key piece of history in the coming decades as so much other information about the medium's early history is lost.
