Analogue Nt

The Analogue Nt is a home videogame console designed and manufactured by Analogue Inc.,[1][2] designed to play games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Famicom. It uses parts sourced from damaged Famicom systems.[3] The goal of the system was to build a "perfect, no-compromises aftermarket NES and Famicom."[4]

The default model was released with RGB (RGB, Component, S-Video and Composite) video outputs only, with an additional "add-on" for 1080p HDMI output and a plethora of other digital features. The Analogue Nt's enclosure is solid aluminium unibody enclosure manufactured from 6061 aluminium.[5]

After sellout of the original Analogue Nt, Analogue announced the Nt mini, a smaller model which includes RGB & HDMI output and uses an FPGA as a processor.[6]
