If you consider yourself to be a seasoned collector of N64<\/a> games, then you’ll be aware that not all of them came on the same grey plastic cartridges.<\/p>\n

Donkey Kong 64<\/a>, for example, came on a yellow cartridge in the West, while Zelda: Majora’s Mask<\/a> came on a gold one.<\/p>\n

The latest update for the Analogue 3D<\/a> embraces this quirk by allowing you to change the colour of the cartridges as they’re displayed in the console’s menu.<\/p>\n

As highlighted by Games Radar<\/a>, the new 1.2.6 update<\/a> gives the option for carts to be “Grey \/ Red \/ Green \/ Blue \/ Yellow \/ Gold \/ Black \/ Purple \/ Pink”, with colours “set by default based on their release”, which can vary from region to region (the aforementioned Donkey Kong 64 comes on a grey cart in Japan, for example, as does Majora’s Mask).<\/p>\n

Another update actually relates to the Advanced HDR<\/a> feature, which was enabled in last month’s 1.2.5 update.<\/p>\n

Analogue has now clarified in more detail what this feature does. “HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances image quality and Original Display Modes by providing a wider range of colours, brighter details, and deeper blacks,” it says. “HDR is automatically enabled for compatible displays. Analogue Original Display Modes take full advantage of HDR10.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, SD card stability has been improved, as has Progressive Output to fix blinking or flickering screens in certain games, such as Resident Evil 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The full patch notes, taken from Analogue’s site, are reproduced below.<\/p>\n
