  5. Press and release the Power Switch to power on Analogue3D
  6. Follow the on-screen guide to complete the initial setup
Notes
  • Please use the included HDMI cable, USB-C cable, and power supply.
  • Connect a controller via the original-style controller ports, USB ports, or wirelessly by pressing the pairing button to enter pairing mode.
  • 8BitDo 64 controllers must be updated and set to D-mode before pairing with Analogue3D.
  • Analogue3D requires a dedicated SD card (FAT32 or exFAT up to 1TB) for OS updates, virtual Controller Paks, and full 3Dos feature support. A 16GB SD card is included and pre-installed on Analogue3D.
  • To use 4K HDMI, your display must support 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 RGB and be connected with the included HDMI cable or a HDMI 4K certified cable. Note that some 4K displays may support only 1080p as these provide incompatible lower refresh rates or limited color formatting at 60Hz.
  • Do not insert or remove the SD card when 3D is powered on.
  • Caution: To avoid losing cartridge-based saves and other undesired behavior, do not remove game cartridges while a game is running. First, quit the game by opening the in-game menu and selecting ‘Quit Cartridge’.
