The Analogue Nt Mini is a video game console designed and manufactured by Analogue It was designed to play games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Famicom, like the original Analogue Nt.[3] Unlike the former, the Nt Mini uses an FPGA for processing.[4]
The Analogue Nt Mini was announced in August 2016.[5]
The system cost $449.99 at launch,[1] with the first consoles being shipped on January 23, 2017.[6]
The final production run of both the Analogue Nt Mini[7] and the Analogue Nt Mini Noir Edition occurred in 2020.[8] Delays in shipping this edition lead this console to notably experience a significant increase in price in the European Union due to a larger trade dispute later in 2020.[9]
The Nt Mini uses an Altera Cyclone V FPGA processor.[10][11] Kevin Horton was a lead developer in programming the FPGA.[10][12]
The Nt Mini features a 1080p HDMI, analog video (RGB, Component, S-Video, & Composite), analog audio (48 kHz 16-bit),[13] original NES-style controller ports, a Famicom expansion port, and a Famicom microphone input.[14] Like its predecessor, the Nt Mini's enclosure is made of an aluminum alloy[15] uni-body enclosure manufactured from 6061 aluminum.[16]
Game selection occurs via cartridge or by an SD card slot.[10] New firmware can also be loaded using the SD card slot.[17]
