wow $310 starting bid? ouch :(


$200 less then the nt without the HD UPGRADE.


It appears these are selling for more than what the NT with HD upgrade is/was for the most part. Looks like he just posted another batch to sell on ebay as well. Personally I can't believe people would waste that much on this.

Its a bullshit cash grab, and I suspect the auctions will continue to happen for a little while as long as the stupid high bids continue. I don't like how Game-Tech pretends to not know whats going on with the business side of things on this when he is the one doing these cash grab auctions for Kevtris and spams multiple forums about this thing. The fact that he thinks we cant see through that kind of crap is kind of insulting. You don't go out of your way like this for someone unless you have a decent stake in the profits.

What happened to when you want to start a business do it yourself?
Go to the bank, show bank manager your business proposal and ask for a start up loan. Why does everything now have to be kickstarter or first consumers test bed? Pisses me off.

With that there are major consequences to your credit rating, etc, if you fail. On kickstarter or like using idiots as your test subjects on an unproven product, there is less financial risk.

Some of the Analogue NT's have made it out to customers.
Here's a link to one guy's review of it with the Hi-Def kit installed:

Hardly anyone cares about Analogue NT products here. Jesus, you are pretty out of touch with this forum...

I know it's not a nintendo forum, but I love this forum, been coming here for 12 plus years, but I did post this in Pcenginefx.com » Non-NEC Console Related Discussion » Console Chat...
Plus it's more of a review of the Hi-Def kit so I didn't see a problem posting about it.

You dont get it though. No one is pleased with the stupid auctions you are running, and the whole thing about thinking we are naive about you and Kevtris and the financial side of things. Combine this with even slight promoting of another item here that not many give a flying f*ck about, other then collectards, and things start to stack up that will start to piss people off. It's like you don't even realize you're poking a hornets nest.

People pretty much expected this to just be a kit that would be released that they could buy and install themselves, similar to the NESRGB. Instead you guys are doing a totally ridiculous cash grab launch, forcing people who want it to have to pick between your ebay auctions or an Analogue NT product. The only people you are winning over at this point are idiots with cash to burn. Everyone else is just like wtf....

As for the free slight advertising for the NT, seriously, look at this thread first before deciding to promote that item:

https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18458.msg390455#msg390455

I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at that and realize its not smart to promote the NT around here, regardless of if it uses your product or not (and god forbid you make the same mistake on the Neo forums). Worse so in fact that you chose to supply Analogue instead of just providing said boards to normal users so they could just buy them outright and install them, or choose a person of their liking to install them for them in their own systems.

What also kind of bothers me is there is not really much of a field test going on with this final batch of boards you got in. Honestly before even doing a launch there should have been some 4-5 month quality testing done. Instead you're using analogue customers and ebay idiots to test the product. That in itself is pretty scary given the price and the fact that youre not advertising a free extended warranty on the auctions (like a 6 month return/service policy).

Also, still waiting for that sound comparison video....

I, too, am curious to hear the sound comparison video/MP3

I recognize that tough choices were made for the audio concerning HDMI...I am genuinely interested in the final output.

Yeah i'm not sure what the best way is to do a sound comparison. I doubt I have the proper equipment. If I just did it with what I have, I doubt it would be quality enough for ppl that could really distinguish between them if there was anything to hear. Any ideas?

Any given tv with HDMI that is worth its weight in gold should have RCA audio out. Unless your Tv has a surround or 3D audio feature turned on, the audio should be untouched and come out line level. You could use that as a source to record audio off a Hi-Def Nes from, and just use the RCA audio output on a regular Nes or AV modded Famicom for test.

Test games like an original cart of Akumajo Densetsu. The actual AV Famicom has issues with Akumajo Densetsu unless you do a fix, so if you plan to use a AV Famicom for recording normal audio out, do the fix prior. Be sure to use a wide varity of carts, like TMNT 2 Arcade Game, Rygar, Super Mario 3, etc. This way people can compare the pitch, bass quality, etc.

I could even record games I have here audio wise for your comparison. The only thing I would not be able to record is the HI-DEF Nes audio out, for obvious reasons (Though my Toshiba has RCA audio out, I dont have a Hi-Def here to record).

The section of the forum isn't the problem, the product he was promoting is. The way the things launch is being handled is a pity. But then again, you'd not see a problem, being you and all. The last thing Game-Tech and Kevtris needs is a guy like you starting a white knight crusade. It'll just make the situation uglier.

You are the only one with a problem. I know there are lots of people who read this that are very interested in this product and updares on it's developement. It's not like he is just copy pasting stuff from other forums and selling the NES's here for $700. He is providing interesting information and answering everyone's questions. You are not the boice of the forum, you are just being a bully and need to chill out.

Copy pasting spammage across multiple forums is EXACTLY what he's doing.

But we have several members (like BigAl) who only drop in to cross-spam their sales and misc content. Many of which are advertising high priced items. This thread is no different.

Most people are only here to buy/sell/trade anyway, while the minority of us actually talk about PC Engine and games.
