The latest Analogue 3D update adds "advanced HDR" that will make your OLED screen look even more like a CRT TV

Close up of Analogue 3D running Super Smash Bros N64 on LG OLED TV featuring Kirby with Link hat.

It's time to update your Analogue 3D firmware, as Version 1.2.5 just dropped. This time around, the FPGA N64 patch includes "Advanced HDR" features that give the retro console's original display filters a brightness and color gamut boost that'll help your OLED screen almost like a real CRT TV.

According to the Analogue 3D Version 1.2.5 patch notes, the advanced HDR features are "designed for OLED displays." That's going to sting if you're using a conventional LED display, but the console maker says "recreating a CRT beam demands high peak localized brightness." Effectively, the update helps the N64 system's Original Display Modes tap into HDR brightness and color gamut perks to give each individual pixel the same kind of punch as an old tube TV.
