Analogue Co announces Analogue Pocket w/ NGPC support

[pixeljunkie]

I want this just for the dock. If people port other cores to it, awesome. But just having a nice HD piece of hardware to play my handheld titles is worth it.

My MegaSG jail broken replaced my Genesis/MasterSystem/Game Gear. I’m at a point where I’d like To simplify my consoles as much as possible. And avoid using my OSSC so I don’t have to fuss with scaling settings as much either.

This. This is exactly where I am at in my life. I am sick of all the wires and gadgets, but I also don't want shit visuals or emulation if possible.

Really cool idea but I hate the form factor of the GB and wish they had made different form factor models.

Same here, this whole FPGA thing makes things so much easier. If this gets a SNES core it’ll be awesome, if it gets a PC Engine core then that would be the icing.

It's what they say about sex: Nintendo sells.

Oh, you’re still at that stage are you? Wait until you get to mine.

This announce kills Evercade. RIP Evercade.

This is overblown. As long as your original hardware still works, there's no issue keeping your original SNES, Genesis etc tucked neatly in a drawer with its respective cables, ready to connect to the OSSC or what have you.

These new FPGA' systems are great to have available as an alternative to real hardware, but let's not pretend it means everyone should throw their old consoles out and replace them with new ones because they're too much trouble.

Woah. This is actually very interesting

lol evercade was never a thing

One thing that's bugging me about this is that the buttons look like they are really close together. If they are about the size of the buttons on a Switch joycon or 3DS the tip of your thumb could cover all four buttons and would make something like holding run while jumping in Mario quite difficult. On a handheld ergonomics are everything, if it's annoying to use you simply won't use it.

Spoken like a man who hasnt tried the hassle free, ultra clean, fpga life.

Once you own/try one of these systems, you quickly realize there is no going back.

I'm more concerned about the adapters that were promised for the Mega SG which have yet to materialize. That said, it's hard to put much faith in Analogue releasing all the adapters for this portable in a timely fashion...

This isn't being a hater (I have both the Super NT and Mega SG), this is being realistic.

I’m curious if this thing will work with gameboy/game gear everdrives...

[GohanX]

Probably not, I don't think their other systems worked with the Everdrives. However jailbreak software was released in short order to allow loading roms from SD, so it doesn't matter.

*edit*

Correction, they flash carts work just fine!

The other systems most definitely work with Everdrives and MegaSD.

[GohanX]

D'oh, I stand corrected. I'm not sure why I was thinking they didn't, even though I use my AVS with a flashcart all the time.
