Just a few months after the Analogue 3D saga — which we [covered here](https://www.recalbox.com/fr/blog/2025-11-14-analogue-3d-nintendo-64-n64-fgpa-retrogaming/) — it's now ModRetro stepping into the spotlight with its M64, announced for July 28, 2026, at a price of $199.**\n\nModRetro is no stranger to the retrogaming scene. The company first made a name for itself with the Chromatic, a handheld console dedicated to Game Boy and Game Boy Color games released in 2024. [With the M64](https://modretro.com/pages/m64), it is taking things to the next level and directly targeting the Nintendo 64 market. Like the Analogue 3D, the M64 is built around an FPGA solution — in this case, an AMD Artix 7 chip — that recreates the original Nintendo 64 hardware without relying on software emulation.\n\n![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/1e71505c0f8f6793b9b2b4ab84cb60f9_mod-retro-m64-png.png)\n\nVideo output is handled via 4K HDMI, and everything is housed in a passively cooled magnesium alloy chassis (no fan required). On the front, you'll find four controller ports, a microSD card slot, a USB-C port, and a choice of four translucent colors — red, gray, purple, and green — allowing users to admire the internal components.\n\n![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/2bfdd7d0c207cf12a77dc2b29702121d_capture-d-ecran-2026-06-04-184219-png.png)\n\n### Dedicated Physical Games Available at Launch\n\nModRetro isn't just selling hardware. Four games will launch simultaneously on N64 cartridges, including *Xeno Crisis*, *Buck Bumble* (making a return thanks to Argonaut Games), and *Extreme-G: Turbo Fusion*. A proprietary controller, the Trident, will also be available on day one.\n\nOf course, and this is the whole point of an FPGA console, the M64 will be able to play original Nintendo 64 cartridges. However, be aware that after digging through the available information, we found nearly fifty games that may experience bugs of varying severity. You can find the full compatibility list [here](https://modretro.com/pages/m64-compatibility?srsltid=AfmBOorBy-jxBr96_VF4njHtTw5YrLvd72LDyOZDCJB3AhZEFulaYiP-).\n\n![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/fcf71ff0dc6116cf73c7ade8c50764b1_m64-controllers-png.png)\n\n### What Sets It Apart from the Analogue 3D\n\nThe early bird launch price is $199 ($229 at standard retail), making it $50 cheaper than the Analogue 3D. But the real difference lies in communication and execution. While Analogue faced multiple delays over a two-year period before finally shipping its console in late 2025, ModRetro is announcing a firm release date along with a detailed list of what will be available at launch and what features will arrive later through updates.\n\nIn the FPGA retrogaming world, that level of transparency is far from common. That said, this is not a criticism of the Analogue 3D, which has impressed many reviewers with its quality. Unfortunately, its repeated delays raised concerns within the community on several occasions, leading some to question whether the project would ultimately come to fruition.\n\nNow, the real test will be in players' hands. It remains to be seen which system will stand out in this sibling rivalry between FPGA-powered Nintendo 64 consoles. Ultimately, what matters most is that everyone can find the solution that suits them best and enjoy their beloved N64 cartridges once again.\n\n*Sources: [rom-game.fr](https://www.rom-game.fr/news/6815-modretro-m64-date-sortie-prix-jeux-28-juillet.html), [retrododo.com](https://retrododo.com/official-modretro-m64-launch-after-launch-features-revealed/), [cnx-software.com](https://www.cnx-software.com/2026/06/03/modretro-m64-an-amd-artix-ultrascale-fpga-based-open-source-nintendo-64-console-with-original-cartridge-support/)*","language":"en","objectId":"zW4GOY2G0O","tags":["ModRetro M64"," Nintendo 64"," FPGA"],"original":true,"publishDate":{"iso":"2026-06-04T16:57:30.547Z"},"localJumbo":{"childImageSharp":{"gatsbyImageData":{"layout":"constrained","placeholder":{"fallback":"data:image/png;base64,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"},"images":{"fallback":{"src":"/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/d2ace/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.png","srcSet":"/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/67198/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.png 302w,\n/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/41dcd/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.png 604w,\n/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/d2ace/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.png 1207w","sizes":"(min-width: 1207px) 1207px, 100vw"},"sources":[{"srcSet":"/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/30180/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.webp 302w,\n/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/0e6a0/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.webp 604w,\n/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/e704f/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.webp 1207w","type":"image/webp","sizes":"(min-width: 1207px) 1207px, 100vw"}]},"width":1207,"height":641},"original":{"src":"/static/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png-9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a.png"}}},"localImages":[{"name":"fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png","publicURL":"/static/9a57c7babc30ccb38bef446d81e4bd3a/fcd49cddb329fba06431bce56c94969d_mod-retro-m64-nintendo-png.png"},{"name":"1e71505c0f8f6793b9b2b4ab84cb60f9_mod-retro-m64-png","publicURL":"/static/6e4789068d033e67beca5bcc1754c9ee/1e71505c0f8f6793b9b2b4ab84cb60f9_mod-retro-m64-png.png"},{"name":"2bfdd7d0c207cf12a77dc2b29702121d_capture-d-ecran-2026-06-04-184219-png","publicURL":"/static/9aca38edec2f82935662bbae2683fedc/2bfdd7d0c207cf12a77dc2b29702121d_capture-d-ecran-2026-06-04-184219-png.png"},{"name":"fcf71ff0dc6116cf73c7ade8c50764b1_m64-controllers-png","publicURL":"/static/65b400d92d746a8224690e8577db65c6/fcf71ff0dc6116cf73c7ade8c50764b1_m64-controllers-png.png"}],"wroteBy":{"username":"LittleG4M3","avatar":{"url":"https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/22aa7548bed64a2419bd3c6ba4da6b33_presstart.png"},"twitter":"https://x.com/LittleG4M3","background":null}},{"i18nId":"2026-06-04-modretro-m64-console-fpga-nintendo-64-retrogaming","state":"published","title":"ModRetro M64 : une N64 FPGA qui s'aventure sur le terrain de l'Analogue 3D","content":"**La Nintendo 64 a décidément la côte en ce moment. Quelques mois après l'épisode Analogue 3D — dont nous vous [avions parlé ici](https://www.recalbox.com/fr/blog/2025-11-14-analogue-3d-nintendo-64-n64-fgpa-retrogaming/) — c'est ModRetro qui entre dans la danse avec sa M64, annoncée pour le 28 juillet 2026 au prix de 199 dollars.**\n \nModRetro n'est pas un inconnu du monde du rétrogaming: la société s'est d'abord fait remarquer avec le Chromatic, une console portable dédiée aux jeux Game Boy et Game Boy Color sortie en 2024. [Avec la M64](https://modretro.com/pages/m64), elle passe à la vitesse supérieure et s'attaque directement au marché de la Nintendo 64. La M64 repose sur le même principe que l'Analogue 3D : une puce FPGA — ici une AMD Artix 7 — qui reproduit le fonctionnement matériel de la Nintendo 64 sans passer par une émulation logicielle.\n\n ![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/1e71505c0f8f6793b9b2b4ab84cb60f9_mod-retro-m64-png.png) \n\nLa sortie vidéo est en HDMI 4K, et l'ensemble loge dans un châssis en alliage de magnésium à refroidissement entièrement passif (pas de ventilateur). Quatre ports manette en façade, un lecteur microSD, un port USB-C, et quatre coloris translucides au choix — rouge, gris, violet, vert — pour laisser admirer les composants internes.\n\n ![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/2bfdd7d0c207cf12a77dc2b29702121d_capture-d-ecran-2026-06-04-184219-png.png) \n \n### Des jeux physiques dédiés dès le lancement\n \nModRetro ne se contente pas de vendre du hardware : quatre jeux sortent simultanément sur cartouche N64, dont *Xeno Crisis*, *Buck Bumble* (un retour d'Argonaut Games) et *Extreme-G: Turbo Fusion*. Une manette maison, la Trident, sera aussi disponible le même jour. Bien entendu, pour rappel, et c’est bien là le principe de la console FPGA, cette dernière pourra lire les cartouches originales Nintendo 64. Cependant attention, nous avons fouillé et trouvé une petite 50aine de jeux qui pourraient être concernés par des bugs, plus ou moins critiques, vous trouverez la liste à [cette adresse](https://modretro.com/pages/m64-compatibility?srsltid=AfmBOorBy-jxBr96_VF4njHtTw5YrLvd72LDyOZDCJB3AhZEFulaYiP-).\n\n ![title](https://api.recalbox.com/parse/files/recalbox/fcf71ff0dc6116cf73c7ade8c50764b1_m64-controllers-png.png) \n \n### Ce qui la distingue de l'Analogue 3D\n \nLe prix de lancement early bird est de 199 dollars (229 en tarif standard), soit 50 dollars de moins que l'Analogue 3D. Mais la vraie différence, c'est la communication. Là où Analogue a enchaîné les reports pendant deux ans avant d'expédier fin 2025, ModRetro annonce une date ferme, et une liste précise de ce qui sera disponible au lancement — et de ce qui viendra ensuite via mises à jour. Dans le monde du rétrogaming FPGA, cette transparence est loin d'être une évidence. Ce n'est pas pour autant que nous critiquons Analogue 3D qui propose une solution qui a conquis de nombreux testeurs, mais qui a eu malheureusement des reports qui ont plusieurs fois inquiétés la communauté au point de douter du projet.\n\nMaintenant reste à voir manette en main qui saura se détacher dans cette bataille fratricide de FPGA Nintendo 64, le principal étant bien entendu que chaque personne trouve chaussure à son pied et puisse relancer ses cartouches N64.\n\n*Sources : [rom-game.fr](https://www.rom-game.fr/news/6815-modretro-m64-date-sortie-prix-jeux-28-juillet.html),
