Every single product on their website is sold out and instead of producing more Pockets they release an “extremely limited quantity” painted one.
They really want to be the Supreme(tm) of tech. Fuck this artificial scarcity bullshit. Stick with emulators.
Make a translucent atomic purple one you pricks
They made a range of translucent models that sold out in less than a minute and (surprise, surprise) seemingly all found their way on to eBay for three times the original price.
Of course I missed that and of course they did
These are stupidly expensive. I’ve seen kits that are 1/3 this price. Or, if you love spending money, machines that do more for the same price.
You're commenting on an FPGA handheld with OLED, not an AliExpress android clone. Where are you seeing kits for less?
A kit? what do you mean? I would love one of these
Just because they’re both FPGA based products does not mean they’re equivalent.
The Pocket can use its FPGAs to replicate dozens of different consoles and arcade units. It also has sleep mode and save states when using original cartridges.
Without adapters or OpenFPGA, the pocket can play GB, GBC, GBA original carts. With adapters, you can add in Neo Geo and Game Gear carts, and with open FPGA, you can add in NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, dozens of arcade units, and dozens more I’m just forgetting. I personally have DigDug, Q Bert, and all the ones I mention above on mine.
The hardware alone on the Pocket is a massive upgrade over Funnyplaying, but when you include the OpenFPGA support, they’re not even in the same league. Not to trash the funny playing one, I think it’s great. It’s just not the same product category even imo.
what about what he shared? can it not do that?
Edit: sorry I misread.
No, what he shared cannot do most of that. It can play game boy cartridges though.
I’ve seen one of these in person and the screen is super nice.
Is it worth buying if you don’t have any gameboy cartridges and would only use it for roms?
It wasn't for a long time, but apparently they were able to crack it for emulation. That said, the whole appeal of the Analogue was for the genuine, native playback of physical cartridges. Emulation doesn't seem to have basic features you'd expect from an emulation device like save states or fast-forward. If I were you, I'd go for something like the RG35xx or the Miyoo Mini +
From what I see it's extremely limited experience compared to other devices
Thing costs as much as a ps5 where I live
Yeah... I'm gonna stick with my Ayn Odin. Those prices are silly. Kudos to them for finding a market for it though I guess.
Lol what you can't even buy a regular one XD what a joke
