Another Analogue question:

The Duo will have a CD drive, but I don't have any NEC stuff. Is it possible that FPGA cores will let you play PS1/Sega CD/Saturn stuff on it via the real disk?

Also how collectable are the games for the systems the Duo naturally supports? Thanks to ebay and COVID "Entrepreneurs" I know I have high prices ahead of me in any system but...

I've heard conflicting stuff on the Analogue Pocket:

Can I savestate in Pokemon games (I'm playing Crystal) or will it only save 1 box of pokemon?

My save batteries are all dead on GB, so I'm trying to play 'em with savestates instead.

I'll probably get them fixed some time, but I'll probably have to find a local guy with the know-how. I don't have the tools or experience and don't want to wreck my real carts.

Is there like a Big Bitch Romhack Dump somewhere of like curated romhacks worth playing, esp "enhanced" style rooms?

SNES/Genesis and down, gen-wise.

Got an analogue pocket and realized it's been a few years since I really did any rom BS.

I'm starting with Polished Crystal (no running boots is killing me in vanilla) but I'll need more!

Ich bin schon sehr enttäuscht von meinem , ich habe bis heute nicht geschafft ein einziges zu starten. Egal wie sehr ich die Sachen Reinige oder was auch immer ich mache, ich bekomme nur einen Screen. Hat vielleicht jemand aus der
Ecke hier noch eine Idee für mich?

Achja: @ThreeM auch Radieren und 99%ISO hat nicht geholfen.

ich weiß nicht mehr weiter

did anyone else order an Pocket? I ordered mine in January, not heard a peep about shipping still. Dunno if that's normal.

Almost glad I missed the SNES box at this rate...def think I'll skip the Duo

My love 💛

My wife and I tested our new old camera from 1954 that produces square images on a 35 mm film, so on a roll of 36 you can squeeze in over 50 images! (We used the cheapest color film available) 📸

Gear:
• Zeiss Ikon Taxona (Germany, 1954)
• Tessar f/3.5 37.5 mm
• Kodak VISION3 250D

So I bit the bullet and bought into the Analogue Pocket hype. Got a yellow one from their most recent solid color series, plan to investigate making the rear look like a Famicom cartridge.

My main motivation was to have a quick cycle for testing my own Gameboy homebrew on hardware with a real link cable, something you can't do easily with an emulator.

We've just returned from our trip to the Netherlands, and I'm starting to post new photos! Of course, there was no way to not take a film roll and an analog camera. 📷 It was the first time I shoot photos with a rangefinder, if you like it, please stay tuned because there will be more to come! I took this shot in Amsterdam with the Zorki 4 camera (an old Soviet rangefinder) from 1966. 🥰

Gear:
• Zorki 4 (KMZ, 1966)
• Jupiter-8 50 mm f/2 (KMZ, 1967)
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36

I HATE this business model, but I do like the analogue pocket. Went and got a backup plus it's a nice color.

Would have preferred the see through but whatever

The dock is nice BTW but either put it in ONCE insanely carefully or put a little clear sticker at the bottom. It WILL scratch your device if docked wrong, and it's very hard to get in right. Extremely disappointed considering the prices involved.

A little disapointed in my pocket dock. Be very careful seating it, it does not very naturally fit in and fall on the USB C connector, got some minor scratches in my several attempts to get it in just right

If you have an , Pocket Updater is a lifesaver. Automatically upadtes all your FGPA cores.

It can't install firmware 2.0 for you yet but run it, copy over the firmware and install that manually and you should be fine

Who's got SHORT homebrew, romhack, underrated, or translated games I can play on my Pocket?

That's technically anything below a PS1 with an FGPA core, more or less, though GB fits the aesthetic more.

Got it set up on it's dock finally, it's cool but WOOF be careful with your dock you WILL scratch the bottom if it's unprotected and you just push it in.

I don't fully get #FPGA, is there a #GameGear Core I could be using on the Analogue Pocket that isn't the Spritualized one?

It can't seem to play Shining Force, both sleep mode and savestate saves are corrupted and eventually hard lock the game.

anyone having safe state/wake problems (specifically in spiritualized GBA) since the 2.2 update? It's corrupting the .sav file too. Never had this before, not for GBA

Edit: Lucky me, Pokemon gen 3 saves backup saves, so even though both save AND savestate were messed up, I only lost maybe an hour?

Crap, missed out on the Analogue Pocket adapter sets, are they planning to make more? I was waiting to get the Game Gear one and test it out, I just finally got my game gear games.

The adapter does block the L/R buttons, but not a huge deal since GG games (and I think the others with adapters) don't use L/R anyway
