Analogue Nt mini system allowed?
United States

Hi everyone. Question in the thread title.

I’ve been having a blast running NG but want to make sure I’m legal before I submit an official run.

Thanks in advance!

As it's a FPGA system, I wouldn't be surprised if it was allowed. Perhaps mods would be able to shine light on this matter.

Yes, Analogue Nt mini system is allowed.

Note that the Analogue Mini, like most FPGA systems, runs at 60 fps. So you'll probably lose about a second during the course of a Ninja Gaiden run. Its my understanding the Nt Mini has a frame buffer option that may correct for some or all of the framerate discrepancy, but I believe it introduces lag/screen tearing. Just something to be mindful of for speedrunning.

Because it should be 60.1?

Correct. 60.0988 or something like that. The AVS is a 60 FPS unit as well. My understanding is the MiSTer operates at the correct framerate but I haven't tested it personally.

I have the Analogue NT mini. It's my understanding that if you use the output for composite, S-Video, component, or RGB scart it matches the NES 60.09. If you use HDMI it will display at 60 frames per second.

This is good information. Thanks for sharing.

Potentially related to this topic I’ve been streaming on twitch with an Elgato hd60 and a MacBook Pro (if I were to do it over again I would’ve gotten a windows laptop but I digress).

When I stream using my switch there is no audio video Desync at all.

When I stream using the NT mini the audio seems to desync but also have this VHS type sound to it (I don’t know if that makes any sense or not). Is there anyway to fix this within the NT Mini settings?

Thanks again.

I think I’ve solved the problem by reading the instruction manual. Shocking.

I switched the buffer settings from zero to single.

We’ll see how it holds up over a few hours of streaming.

That's interesting LuckyYump! I didn't know that. When I tested mine, I did it using the HDMI out (I did it by running Excitebike for about 10 minutes and compare clocks to a standard NES using the avidemux frame counter). I tried the frame buffer but the lag and screen tearing it created was too much for me so I didn't bother to test it. Maybe I'll go back and test it with analog out and see what it does.

I just got my Svideo cables in today and will hopefully be posting some video soon with it.
