3DOS - Analogue 3D User Guide

6.1 Library Overview

The Library

Library is a reference level database to catalog your game collection and the games you play. A scholarly cataloging of the entirety of N64 history.

Cartridge Detection

Insert an original game cartridge and it will be automatically added to Library. You can also view the developer, publisher and release date. The date when the cartridge was added and the total play time will also be recorded.

Custom Label Artwork

Library also supports community-generated cartridge label artwork. For the best experience, we suggest adding these images to the SD card.

Game Configuration

You can also configure specific per-game settings before or after starting the cartridge. For more info, see the In-Game Settings & Configuration section.

Notes:

To ensure Library info is saved, quit the game by opening the in-game menu and selecting 'Quit Cartridge'. If Analogue^3D is powered off while a game is running, any changes to the Library info may be lost.

The added to Library date/time may not show correctly until the game is removed from the library and re-added by inserting the game cartridge. All game configuration settings will be automatically restored.

6.2 Connecting Controllers

Connecting Bluetooth Controllers

Quickly enter pairing mode to connect a Bluetooth controller by pressing the pairing button on the front of Analogue^3D.
To cancel pairing, press the pairing button again.
When in pairing mode the power LED will begin flashing blue and pairing will be assigned to the next available player slot.

Connecting wired controllers (USB/Original controllers)

Original controllers and controller accessories can be connected via the four original-style controller ports.
Charge or connect supported USB controllers with either USB port. You can also use wireless controllers while charging.
Original controllers, as connected, will take priority over wireless or USB controllers and replace them if already connected.

Analogue^3D can connect with up to four Bluetooth controllers, four original controllers, or two USB controllers. Any combination of up to four controllers can be connected simultaneously.

Check compatibility on the supported controller list.

If pairing a 8BitDo 64 controller or N64 Modkit, set the mode switch located on the back of the controller to D-mode.
