Thanks. Straight and to the point? It was TWENTY SIX Minutes long! Glad to hear you liked it. I often think I am making my videos way too long so it feels good to hear you liked it all.

Have you tried Open FPGA cores yet? I wish I started with Pupdate instead of trying to manually install and configure cores. github.com/mattpannella/pupdate

Agreed!! My Favorite Console right now. For me it was the FPGA Hardware Emulation that is Superior to Software Emulation that made me go out and get one. I own a bunch of emulation mini consoles and they just can't replicate the original hardware perfectly. The Analogue Pocket does Emulation as close to perfect as possible. The Pocket is a high-quality product that makes you feel like your money was well spent. High quality emulation, High quality screen, great features, great accessories, great support. $250 well spent.

@@user-tz4bt5bt6x FPGA is "hardware re-creation" not exactly emulation but it is semantics. It is all about playing games accurately and that is what I like about it. Software emulation tends to be a bit more flexible but I love them both. I love that we live in an era where I can play the games that I only read about in magazines instantly.

@@8bitjoystick Everyone calls it Hardware Emulation.

Transparent Red here! For me believe it or not, it was the Trade link cable for me. No other has one!

I just ordered a Funny Playing FPGBC and will assemble and test it for a video as soon as I can. Well. Did you see my video on the Miyoo Mini Plus? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7Fdd5Wh2d25ioE.html

@@8bitjoystick I think the Miyoo has to many problems and costs to much. I prefer the Pow Kiddy with the Pocket Go Firmware Update for my Gameboy Color Rumble. I made Legend of the River King 2 for Gameboy Color have that feature because it was in the code left over from the Japanese version. Change the Cartridge type to 1EH and fix the Header. It's Easter almost. So I figured I would give you an Easter Egg.

Thank you, It was a lot of fun to make, although I probably went on too long and had too much to say. I need to be more efficient in my writing . I am trying to do more interesting things with lighting. I actually think Tech Dweeb has really amazing lighting and camera work in his handheld reviews. I also am trying to have a little bit more of a sense of humor. Retro Bird rd is a huge inspiration for me. I am constantly amazed at how actually funny he is.

Well I definitely really like mine. I also really like my FPGBC and I'm glad that there are good fpga systems that use real cartridges

I'm glad you got one. I made a video on there rather messed up pre-order process. I really hope that the video game industry moved to a more sane pre-order process before the next generation of game systems comes out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLapjJWI1qiRe58.html

I made a video complaining about their messed up pre-order process. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLapjJWI1qiRe58.htmlsi=RVbqeyYVqnaVfMFh

Well there are different saves options. If you are playing a cartridge with a save function, you can save to the cartridge. You can also save memories to the SD card. And you can use the memories to change the data on the cartridge battery saves. That would be very convenient since you could back up a game's save data before changing the battery on it and then putting it back on the cartridge. There's also the safe states on the EverDrive which also work and are interchangeable with the rest. I thought the flexibility on this was very powerful and could be a good tool.

You definitely get more value out of a little handheld emulator, but this actually isn't as expensive as going a full-blown FPGA set up like a MISTr but it is not cheap. It is in the middle of your costs.

Same ive been wanting to order one but its been sold out for awhile

@@ThoughtOuter sorry to hear that. The way that I got mine is I signed up for their email

That guy literally has over 450 times the subscribers that I do. If you gave me 900,000 more subscribers, you can call me whatever the hell you want.

@@8bitjoystick you earned my sub by giving a great review and having a sense of humour 👍👍

@Nediablo I need to make a video on the facial hairstyles of various retro video game KZfaqrs. The crazy thing is it's easier to tell that you're smiling when you have a mustache and not a beard. So shaving my beard actually increased my click through rate.

@@8bitjoystick 🤣🤣 stick with the tache! Suits you and, as you said, you can see a smile way easier.

There are so many RPGs that I would play if I was not spending all of my free time working on videos for this channel ha ha. Especially the now playable fan translated ones.

@@8bitjoystick I highly recommend the Consolized DS and the EZ Flash Omega and the EZ Flash Parallel with the English Translation for Saga II and III. The Wonder Swan English Translation for Saga is the best place to start but that's another story.

I greatly enjoy the flexibility of emulation on the pi with all the software options. It is what I mainly use to capture game footage for this channel

Well, I actually still love my original Game Boy Hardware due to the form factor and the nostalgia factor. But I also greatly love my analog pocket and I actually use it to make videos as much as possible. I have the dock and I actually really like it. All of these game systems look great on the TV and I think the CRT filter looks better on a TV than on the console. However, I'm a little frustrated by the incredibly small list of controller compatibility with a dock. I mean I have a lot of really great controllers that I wish I could use with it, but I can't. Besides that, the dock is totally worth it.

It was two days for me from when I ordered to when it showed up since it was in stock when I ordered it. The problem is that they sell out quickly and then you need to sign up to be notified for their next restock. I literally made an entire video about their frustrating pre-order process. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLapjJWI1qiRe58.html

@8bitjoystick yea I was wondering bc I successfully ordered one last Friday and it says they created the shipping label but still have not shipped it yet

The dock was 2 days from ordering to arriving, my system shipped in 3 days after I ordered it and I got it 2 days after that.

@@8bitjoystick alr, thanks for the response, I subbed 👍

You are correct the original Nintendo D-Pad Patent has expired. RIP Gunpei Yokoi, you mad scientist mad dog. patents.google.com/patent/US4687200A/en

@@8bitjoystick Thanks. Great video by the way. subscribed.

It really doesn't make sense unless you have a whole bunch of cartridges. Like I said it is deliberately indulgent.

Thanks. I'm actually using it to test cartridges to use in future videos right now

Did you see by video on the FPGBC! That was a lot of fun to put together. I do like modded original hardware and newer FPGA options. Both. Both are good. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLlgfLqpmanFeqs.html

@8bitjoystick yes I have seen everything and I just built a oled gbc boxy pixel I think I'm the first tk put thag screen into a boxy shell

When I made the video they had recently done a production run and the analog pocket was easy to get. Nowadays, the only thing you can do is sign up on their website for an email when they're planning another production run.

Well I'm also a fan of the Miyoo Mini Plus, the Analogue Pocket is also made in China as well. Ironically Charlie Chan is American and crappy. Almost every major video game company has had their manufacturing done in China for decades now but I think it's the software and design that sets them all apart.

@@adrian_veidt well, fpga is great for accuracy and it's pretty cool to be able to have this in my hand and be able to play systems like ColecoVision. However, it's often more of a pain in the butt to get set up and emulation works just as good. It really comes down to personal choice. But I hear what you're saying that at $250 analogue pocket can play games about as well as a a $60 emulation handheld.

Well I made an entire video about my disagreement with their pre-order practices. Then I bought one of their systems at a regular price kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLapjJWI1qiRe58.html

What's especially cool is if a game had a US release, then the Japanese version would display in English when you pop it into an Analogue pocket set to the English mode. I think that is particularly cool that SNK only made one version of the game worldwide and just changed the labels based on the regions. The Japanese version of these games are a lot cheaper than the American versions
