Analogue Pocket

To add to that, looks like the Pocket itself will be going back up for pre-orders on the 14th at 8am PST (16:00 here) so for anyone interested in getting one there is your chance.
 
Well I’ve just checked the tracking and according to the last update to that, it’s still in Tennessee, so I’m doubtful about tomorrow now lol.

Sounds further than mine, it is currently showing as label created - Location: Chino, CA.
 
Looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I've pre ordered mine today so likely will see it in 2023 haha
 
Mine arrived this morning.

Impressed by the size and build quality. Screen looks amazing and really enhances the old Gameboy games. I have managed to test Pokemon Gold via original cart but I cannot get my Everdrive GB to work with it (GBA ED works ok). I've googled and it seems to have happened to others. I'll look to sort that out over the weekend. I suspect I might need to update the Pocket firmware but I need to dig out an SD Card to do so.

Word of warning to others though, whilst looking at the Everdrive issue, I noticed a small number of threads on Reddit regarding bricked Pockets. It might be worth checking posts out on Reddit before turning on etc.

Edit: Might not be as bad. Two cases within this - One individual suggesting they'd removed a GBA cartridge without closing the app. The other has no explanation on why theirs is bricked (https://www.reddit.com/r/AnaloguePo...anty/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)

Mines been delivered this morning but I'm still at work. I've ordered an X5 mini everdrive as well just waiting on that being delivered too though, will probably still jailbreak it if firmware is released, have jailbroken all my other analogue consoles.
 
I've managed to play a couple of Game Boy games including the Super Mario Land and Kirby's Dream Land DX rom hacks. These have been brilliant, completely blown away by the screen.

There is a slight work around for GB Everdrives which are not working properly at the moment but only if you have access to original hardware (GB, Color or Super GB). If you select the game on original hardware and pop the cartridge back in to the Pocket, boot and and press start at the menu, it will load the game.

I haven't tried the Dock yet but I have a MiSTer for GB games on the big screen, so I am not in a hurry.

Im still wanting one of these after 3 months sleeping on it. Do they take payment on pre order? As delivery date is like a year away.
 
Any reason to get a pocket analogue over something like a PSP Go? The Go can perfectly emulate most if not all PSX games (plus many other systems)
