Subtitles section

There has never been a better time to be a gamer.

And a big part of that is all these amazing retro devices that are coming out that make playing old games better than ever.

And today we have the Analog Duo.

This is the first PC Engine TurboGrafx Sixteen Focus FPGA console, which is pretty cool.

You might not have ever played the TurboGrafx Sixteen if you're in the West,

But the PC Engine, the Japanese counterpart, was actually a better seller than the Mega Drive, which is the Genesis, in Japan.

And it has probably one of the most underappreciated libraries of any console ever.

It has the best Classicvania, in my opinion.

It's got the Bonk and Arizona games.

It has the start of the Ys franchise.

And finally, it's easy to play it.

Getting a TurboGrafx XVI is pretty expensive.

You can get PC Engines for cheap, but they look...

like a smoker ate them and spat them out.

Just like this, this white console.

is kind of pre smoker colored, and I think I kind of dig it.

The console itself is very reminiscent of a Turbo Duo, which is the combo device that they released that was both the PC Engine and the CD add on built in, because the CD add on actually came later, and with it brought some of the console's absolute best games.

So this is a pretty small package.

It's a lot wider than other analog consoles, but it's not deeper.

which is nice, so that'll fit very well.

And because there's no cartridge going on top, you could fit this in quite a small little space on your retro shelf.

On the front, we have our power, our cue card slot, and our CD slot with the eject button.

On the back, we have our SD card slot.

Ours came preloaded with an SD card that has some cover art on it, but yours will not.

We have an HDMI slot that can do up to Ten Eighty P Sixty.

You have your two USBs, where you can use any wired controller, which is really nice.

And this one's actually Type C, which is sort of new for the full fledged analog consoles.

The NT Noir, the Super NT, and the Mega Sg are all micro USB, which is not a huge deal, because I'm not unplugging, replugging all the time, but it's...

Nice that they've entered the XXI century.

On the bottom, we have this cool little analog pattern.

I think it's quite attractive and it'll help prevent it from slipping and sliding.

It's quite grippy.

And the neat little wavy pattern, just like the Turbo Duo had back in the day.

On the top, we have this transparent bit that looks like you should be able to see the CD spinning, but there's actually another smoker beige piece of plastic underneath.

So you cannot.

On the side, we have the PC engine controller port.

It's cool that you can use an original controller, but if you want to use a TurboGrafx controller, you actually need a little adapter.

They're cheap, but it would have been nice for them to include it in the box.

The compromise is that they've built two point four G as well as Bluetooth right into the console.

So you can use the eight bit dough wireless ones without a dongle.

We also have our headphone jack, just like the original console had, as well as our volume rocker.

and the pairing button, as well as what I believe are controller port indicators.

All right, let's see what else is in the box.

We have a little analog sticker, FPGA, and a quick start guide.

We have the full manual PDF, as well as the most recent firmware, which is nice, but even better is the jailbroken firmware that's just been released, which we will try.

Also included is a, is that what?

Three feet C to C cable, which works with the included block.

Analog really recommends that you use this block.

There's been some reports of voltage issues with other ones.

It's a bit of a shame.

I like to have four, six port USB things so I can power a bunch of devices at once.

So having to use an entire block just for this to be safe,

is a bit of an issue, and honestly, I probably would risk it.

We're gonna be using the white analog today, but it also comes in black, so it's just a preference thing.

One thing of note is that analog has finally caught up to their demand.

For many years, it took years to get stuff that you ordered.

What isn't awesome is that there's actually no controllers included with the device.

I understand you're trying to keep costs down, but

It's kind of frustrating if you don't know that and you get this beautiful device and you can't play it.

And most stores aren't carrying these.

So you have to wait another week or so to get your controller.

Just something of note, make sure you get a controller when you buy this.

But before we can get to that, let me tell you about our sponsor, Vessi.

Thanks to Vessi for sponsoring today's video.

Vessi claims their shoes are extremely waterproof and keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Their storm burst high top shoes combine the comfort of a sneaker with the grip and coverage of an outdoor boot.

Vessi has even added extra layering for added warmth, as well as extra grip to prevent you from slipping and sliding in unfavorable weather conditions.

The Stormbursts are feature packed and make great gifts with the unpredictable spring weather coming up.

Check out the Vessi Stormbursts and other styles at Vessi.com slash ShortCircuit and get fifteen percent off your first purchase today.

All right, let's turn it on.

In terms of games, we have the super rare Keith Courage that you don't see at every game store ever.

Power Golf, which I've never played, although I've been told it's extremely difficult, as well as my favorite, Shrek, three D. We're playing on a Fourteen Forty P display, which is an ideal.

The analogs cap out currently at Ten Eighty P. And so there'll be some scaling happening in the monitor.

That's fine for today.

It gives us an idea of what we're working with.

Okay.

we load right into a little tutorial.

Pairing is surprisingly easy once you read the manual.

You hit the pairing button on the console, then the eight bit dough button on the controller, and then hold select for it to flash quickly.

And then it paired in just a second.

And away we go.

That's not bad.

Truly not a big deal.

I wish the pairing button on the console was not so flush with it.

I'm not sure if I'm touching an LED or the button.

For the best experience, Duo requires a dedicated SD card.

It's good that I got one in there from you.

Memories allow you to save states.

capture screenshots, libraries, reference level database to catalog your game collection, the games you play.

This is kind of neat.

In your library, every time you play a game, it'll add it and it'll show the time played and theoretically could have the art.

So you'll have a nice little database of all the games you've played.

It's not ripping the game seemingly to the device like a poly mega would.

The whole point of this over a mister is that you want to put your real games in.

If you're buying this to

rip games to this, and you play other consoles, just get a MiSTer.

Display modes.

Original display modes record the appearance of the original hardware displays, such as the PC Engine LT and PC Engine GT.

I'm not super familiar with the specific display modes that they're talking about that are console based, but I do play a lot on a CRT.

And that's one thing I really like about analog consoles on modern displays, is that they do a good job approximating what a CRT would do to the very primitive sprites.

Here we are at main menu.

We got insert game.

We don't have a game in right now, that's fine.

We have our library, which shows all the games that have been played on this console.

If you're not familiar with the PC Engine slash TurboGrafx, it's kind of hybrid eight bit, sixteen bit.

So it's more primitive than the Mega Drive and the Super Nintendo, but it's much more advanced than the NES or the Master System.

And you can see right away with the amount of colors, as well as the sprite detail.

We're gonna go to settings, duo, system, and then we can mess around with my favorite part of the settings.

So we have our display mode.

So based on the different consoles, they'll all have slightly different color profiles.

So we have our display modes.

We have our mode settings where you can adjust sharpness.

Inside the size menu, we can set a custom scale with our resolution here, or make sure that we're at integer scales of three, four, five.

If you're on a Ten ADP display, I don't think there's a reason to not do five X. We have an option to show or unshow overscan.

We can choose between RGB,

and composite color.

In terms of audio, we have the cue card audio as well as our volume selector.

It's nice.

This can actually play every PC engine game ever, including the super graphics games.

There was like sixteen of them that were made.

And so it's very nice that it's just included here.

We have CD ROM options.

We can choose the CD ROM format if we're trying to like lock it into one specific one.

We'll leave that on auto detect.

We have our controller options.

Again, auto detect.

I'm going to trust that it works.

That's one of the strengths of the analog systems.

When I play on my Minster at home, I often have to tinker with things and mess around with things.

If I want just to plug something in and it works exactly as intended, I generally choose an analog console for that.

This is apparently OS seven, but if you have an analog pocket, it's going to look very familiar, although it doesn't have open FPGA.

And so I'm a little bit disappointed that you don't get access to the multitude of cores that are designed for open FPGA use.

And I think that's especially disappointing considering that the card adapters for the analog pocket have come out and you can actually put cube cards into an analog pocket using the adapters now.

And there's a lot more options available through the pocket if you're playing handheld and they're even updating it to be more versatile through the dock.

At the end of the day, the thing that matters is, does it look good and does it play well?

And because this is an FPGA system, it's probably gonna be frigging awesome.

There's imperceptible lag.

They claim it's not emulation, but FPGA is still emulation.

It's just way better hardware design specifically for this one task.

And so I could play this game, but I wanna play a game that I actually know much better.

And that is Castlevania Rondo of Blood.

The fact that I want to just play this game and stop talking tells me that this is a very accurate experience.

Even wirelessly, I don't feel any lag.

It's an immediate response.

It looks good.

I wish I had other filters I could play with to get a preferred look, but in terms of play experience, this feels awesome.

As much as I want to sit here and play through this entire game right now, I'm going to call on Tanner, who has a whole new perspective on retro games for me.

All right, what game do you wanna play?

What do we have?

We have, I think our best games are legally backed up in this beautiful Shrek Double Dragon.

We have Garuda and Tetsu Special, which I don't know.

And Bong Three, which is another great single player game.

Huh?

Really?

One of the issues I'm seeing now that we're connected to two controllers is that there's no indicator on the controllers

which port they're plugged into.

There's the indicator on the side of here that tells you how many are plugged in.

That's not necessarily the fault of analog, but that's a little bit of an oversight for this controller.

Maybe they'll make a V two that has like more LEDs to indicate what we're doing.

Power Golf, BOG three, what are we doing?

BOG three.

BOG three, two player.

It's probably like Mario where it takes turns.

Oh, it's like Sonic where we can play at the same time.

So yeah, you can't, when you jump on stuff, you have to use your forehead to.

I see.

Oh no.

I was so excited to be giant for a second.

Honestly, this picture looks good.

The sound, we're using a monitor, so I don't have very high expectations for the sound.

I assume the sound is probably pretty good.

Yeah, that's one of the things I like about analog consoles is that the sound works pretty well.

For my MiSTer, there's some consoles that just, in certain situations, sound off.

and I never really feel that with my analog consoles.

I always am pretty darn certain that I'm getting the right experience.

People that are a little more familiar with this library of games have noted that there are some audio inconsistencies compared to original hardware, but it seems like it's nothing so serious that if this is your first time playing PC games, you would notice.

Let's change the game.

We're gonna eject this one.

That's not bad.

Apparently, some people have been complaining about how far it spits this out, and it seems like a reasonable spot where I can just kind of pull it out.

There are reports of discs becoming scratched on the console.

These are old discs, so these are not a good indicator.

Hold on, before you do that, before you do that, let's take a look at what the bottom looks like.

Oh, you're smart.

Oh, there's some chunks.

Yeah, these are not well cared for discs to begin with, so.

All right, double drag.

Double dragging.

Let's go punch some other flubbers.

I think that the PC Engine is such an interesting piece of hardware.

Hold on, what's happening with the sprites here?

Are you seeing what's happening?

Yeah, that flickering.

I'm not sure if that's accurate to the original experience or not, but it's definitely noticeable.

I find it interesting.

how neatly between eight and sixteen bit the PC engine sits.

Like it looks better than NES games, but not quite as good as Genesis games.

I was just playing Streets of Rage two on the Genesis and it looks so much better than this, but this is so much better than Double Dragon on the NES.

Oh, I forgot about price.

It's two hundred and fifty dollars.

Seems like a lot, but for the polished experience that you're getting, I think it's pretty fair.

You'll know if that's worth it to you.

Overall, if you're the audience for this, you probably already know it.

If you want a very easy out of the box experience that's very accurate, very simple to use, the analog consoles are great.

If you're someone that's trying to maximize your dollar and get every system, and you're not that concerned with plugging in real cartridges or CDs, this probably isn't the best move.

Even with the jailbreak, it makes a lot more sense to save the money on this and your next analog console and combine that and get a MiSTer.

The MiSTer experience is just as accurate, takes a little more work to get running properly, but then you have access to pretty much everything all the way up to PS One.

Playing this now, I do not regret my pre order.

I got exactly what I thought I was going to get out of the box.

And the fact that it's already jailbroken means that all of my legally backed up ROMs are easily playable.

I don't have to burn a bunch of disks to make that happen.

And I'm a big fan of easy and consistent, like short circuit.

If you liked this video, why don't you check out the video where Emily unboxes the analog pocket?

The device I think is the better option for most people.
