Thank you for sharing!
The product is impressive, and cheaper than I was expecting. I love the look of the controller too.
However... the DAC... well I think it's RIP. i don't think I can give Analogue any more money considering this :(

I opened the cartridge and used 99% IPA and a few cotton swabs to clean the cartridge contacts. Nothing super significant though, the contacts seemed pretty clean. Then I took an air duster and gave the whole cartridge a significant blasting, but really it looked completely dust free as far as I could tell. then I also replaced the battery with a new one.
As for the console, I was much more gentle with it. Basically just blasted it heavily with the electric air duster. Tried to get in all the nooks and crannies. Again it looked pretty clean really (but the external chassis of the Nt mini definitely needed a good wipe too, it was somewhat dusty)
Filled out a support request email from krikzz, but haven't heard back yet. I think the cartridge is definitely dead, so we'll see what he says

Hey everyone, As you may know, Analogue has traditionally always had annual mid October announcements. Mostly following along with [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/comments/174th4t/what_has_analogue_announced_on_1610_historically/), their timeline has been: - [October 16th, 2023: Analogue 3D announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1713933239327273452) - [October 16th, 2022: Pocket preorders, Pocket cartridge adapters, and final run of the Super Nt and Mega Sg announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1581661660728950784) - [October 16th, 2021: Analogue OS announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1449389698493861888) - [October 16th, 2020: Duo announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1317118116678094860) - [October 16th, 2019: Pocket announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1184484202772926466) - [October 16th, 2018: Mega Sg announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1052212620705509376) - [October 16th, 2017: Super Nt announced](https://twitter.com/analogue/status/919941034934546432) I'm hoping to see some more news/information about the Analogue 3D, along with Pocket DAC support... 🥴 (This was also posted on [r/analogueinc](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/comments/1g3dpud/analogues_october_16th_history/).)
Hello, I've suddenly found that I can no longer use my Everdrive N8 Pro at all. It appears that my console, an [Nt mini Noir](https://www.analogue.co/editions/nt-mini-noir), can no longer boot up at all when this cartridge is connected. I run through it a bit more in this video I just took: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0\_gRNZsyOY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0_gRNZsyOY) But basically, here is a full rundown of the issue: * If I have my Everdrive N8 Pro plugged in to my Nt mini Noir, then my console will not boot up * If I have my Nt mini Noir in *any* other configuration, then my console will boot up Steps I've tried so far that have had no effect: * Replacing the cartridge battery * Cleaning the cartridge's contacts * Cleaning the Nt mini's cartridge contacts * Another micro SD card * No SD card Other misc details: * My Nt mini Noir console is running the latest jailbreak firmware ([v6.7](https://github.com/analoguejb/Analogue-Nt-Mini-Noir-JB/releases/tag/v6.7)) * My Everdrive N8 Pro is running its latest firmware ([v2.15](https://krikzz.com/pub/support/everdrive-n8/pro-series/OS/)) * I purchased this N8 Pro from [everdrive.me](https://everdrive.me/) in August 2020 * I have not changed any settings or gear of any kind for a very long time, so this is not a result of recent settings changes or hardware changes * Up until very recently, this N8 Pro had been working, although it was always somewhat flaky. And what I mean by "flaky" is: * The console would turn on normally, but then when I go to run the cartridge, I would get just a blank/black screen * The console would turn on normally, and would even load the Everdrive menu correctly. But the menu would have graphics errors, such as a broken/corrupt launcher menu * If either of the above issues occurred, I would just turn on console off => on again until it was fixed * I unfortunately do not have a Famicom or NES to test this cartridge against those consoles. However, sometime soon I might be able to visit a friend who does, and then I can test my N8 again there Does anyone have any thoughts? Unfortunately, it looks like my cartridge is [outside of the warranty period](https://everdrive.me/information/warranty.html) now :( Thank you! (I have also posted this on [r/everdrive](https://www.reddit.com/r/everdrive/comments/1g3dej8/my_everdrive_n8_pro_is_no_longer_working_video/) and [r/analogueinc](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/comments/1g3dg0e/my_everdrive_n8_pro_is_no_longer_working_video/).)

These look great! But I am pretty irritated about DAC support for the Pocket (and Duo) still not being available 😔

I'm kinda torn on this. On one hand, it looks totally sick, I love the look/feel of aluminum and I love my Nt mini Noir. But being handheld kinda makes this more awkward? The weight and feel of the aluminum might be strange. But more than anything else, I'm just really unhappy about the DAC support for the Pocket. It's so long overdue. I'm unhappy with the showing of Analogue's priorities here.
No indication about what color(s) will be available, but I'd definitely assume it to be only just black and white. Link to related Tweet: https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1775176709282668945

I don't have a Duo, but this probably helps? Is it known to have some noise issues?
Official Analogue support link: https://www.analogue.co/support/duo/firmware/1.3 Link to related tweet: https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1773726811391709366 ---- * Added low-pass filter to ADPCM channel * Adjusted audio levels on all channels * Improvements to composite video palette * Fixed issues affecting CD stability * Fixed crashes affecting the following games: * Doraemon - Nobita no Dorabian Night * Efera & Jiliora: The Emblem from Darkness * Far East of Eden Tengai Makyou - Ziria * Fiend Hunter * Forgotten Worlds * It Came From the Desert * Gate of Thunder + Bonk's Adventure + Bonk's Revenge * ImageFight II: Operation Deepstriker * Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force * Riot Zone * Snatcher CD-ROMantic * Syd Mead's Terraforming * Fixed synchronization for: * Sherlock Holmes - Consulting Detective * Sherlock Holmes - Consulting Detective - Volume 2
I don't have a Duo, but it's nice to see the continued quick updates coming. Still hoping to see DAC support for the Pocket Dock and Duo soon 😊
Looks like a mostly short ish list of changes... but still no DAC support unfortunately 😭 😭 ------ - OS - Added support for Analogue Pocket Adapter Set including TG16, PCE, SuperGrafx, Lynx, NGP and NGPC - Memories and Sleep/Wake are supported for TG16, PCE, SuperGrafx and Lynx - Boot to Cartridge now skips Game Detail screen - APF - Fixed data slot loads with asset sizes not divisible by 4 - Dock - Fixed controllers occasionally not responding when using the Down+Select hotkey - Adjusted display video alignment symmetry
Looks great! Honestly I'm a bit surprised to see this, as I wasn't sure if we would, given the Duo is a pretty different console than many of Analogue's previous releases. And be sure to check out the main GitHub page itself too: https://github.com/analoguejb/Analogue-Duo-JB
Looks like some nice bug fixes and things, but no DAC support yet :( Interestingly, I haven't seen any tweet about this yet 🤔 Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good new year 😄
Now I just want DAC support! Also, here's the link to their tweet announcing this new release: https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1738930789532811436
Duo owners, you might want to keep a close eye on firmware releases for the next few months, it looks like there are still a good amount of fixes and things coming quickly.
Excited to watch this! (But, honestly I did not preorder a Duo...)

What TimeWalker said is correct, but just to provide direct links:
Looks like some good fixes and updates! I'm really hoping to see DAC support soon though 🥺
smcharles 11mo ago • 100%
Yeah I mean I think it's great, if you wanna play any of the games that your Pocket plays, just on your TV, and you maybe already have one of the supported controllers, I think it's perfect. Especially if you don't already have a GameCube + Gameboy Player.
However at the end of the day, that's what it does, it let's you play those games on your tv. So I don't think there's much of a "wow" factor, which is totally fine. I wish it was like, just a tiny bit cheaper, and had DAC support, but still I'm happy with it.

Thanks for posting!
I think the main thing I'm looking forward to are those new Pocket OS updates 👀 Kinda begging to finally get DAC support, which appears to be missing here 😭 Also I have a white Pocket so would've loved to have gotten a white dock too, but eh it's okay, the black one is totally good.
Anyone here have a Duo on preorder? I passed on it too, but I'm kinda wondering if I'm gonna get fomo (probably... 😅)
I like them all 🤔🤔🤔

Here are some reviews of the RetroUSB AVS:
Hello, While the [RetroUSB AVS](https://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=78&osCsid=72d9fe678021d5d6a4720dfac2a5dc5b) is not a true 1:1 replacement for the Nt mini, it is the closest thing that is currently readily available. It has real cartridge slots, four controller ports, and an HDMI out, just like the Nt mini. With that being said, it is pretty different too. It doesn't have any analog-out functionality, and only supports 720p (no 1080p at all). But regardless it is still a great device that has been well-received. I have a friend of mine who is very happy with his 😊 So if you are in the market for this kind of device, but don't want to pay scalper Nt mini level prices, this could be a good alternative for you. Thank you! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Thank you for posting!!
And yes I'm very excited for this also. The 8bitdo pairing is really interesting too, I agree that very few modern joysticks have truly ever felt like a real good replacement for what the N64 had (while also overcoming the particularly unreliable joystick that the original one was...)
Can't wait to learn more 👀
