hows your son/daughter and fam doing? merry xmas friend

it doesn't take scientific comparison to tell there is a bit of a difference between the two Mario Golf songs.... in the first one there is a bleeding of the 1/32 notes (which is called release in synth talk) which the original song doesn't have - you can here those quick snaps to the note in the second one, where as the first one sounds like one continuous note - very very close, but not the same :)

oh wow, I should have just waited to pause it because you brought up the same thing in that Shantae song.... except I thought it was the release, but hearing it in the snare drum, yes it is clearly sustain... which makes total sense in the Mario Golf song too...... this could VERY easily be fixed with an update to the core :)

lmao I should stop pausing the video and commenting because you said the same thing about the update right after I paused it lol 🤦‍♂️

I also think you forgot to post the DF retro vid in the description, like you mentioned at the end (unless I'm just missing it of course). Edit: neat, I see it's added.

I like it, it sounds like a Nine Inch Nails remix 😂

Stuff like this shows a devotion to your craft, thank you.

I would wait before buying an everdrive. Usually within a few weeks of an analogue device coming out we get a jailbreak that will play roms from the SD card.

No I already own the flashcards. I own a flash card for GBA, GB, and most other handheld systems. But nothing compares local system emulation.

U can play on android easily and its great just get the xbox style razer kishi mobile handheld controller if ur phone uses a usb type c port on it for charging.. Works great when also emulating touch controls for ds and 3ds games its awesome i have a galaxy note20 ultra 5g so i can even use the s pen to control the ds and 3ds touch controls like how u do on the console with the stylus. I put a 1tb micro Sdxc sandisk extreme with all the supported games that fit on it, i cant put gamecube, wii, ps2, ps1, psp, and emulated console game libraries which consist of too much data for the very tiny amount of 1tb storage.. But i can network copy via my file explorer app to and from my pc anywhere anytime if im on data i can use an app that turns my pc into a nas basically and share all my data with anybody worldwide via internet through the use of an email address to add to my contacts for optional sharing so if i ever want to play big games on it i put them one at a time whatever i feel like playing..

@@welshmouse yes. I'm counting on a jailbreak. Sure I own all of the different flashcarts, but when you start to think about it, you'll need to pack along: GG, NGPC, Atari Lynx, TG-16, (and maybe other) cartridge adapters. That kind of makes it a less bit portable. I also hope to see some console cores ported to this ASAP. NES, SNES, GEN, SMS, NG, would be nice to have on this.

lol Like any Pokemon game. SOO prohibitively expensive.

yeah indeed

I Pavlov'd my self on accident. Every day at lunch I'd get the same sandwich and sit at my desk and watch MVG videos. Now every time I hear the intro music I crave my lunch sandwich. Never change the intro, it's EPIC!

NOOB

@@randomlock99 Saibot

It is called "pacific drive" composed by MVG

That's a fantastic point. I wonder if that's mainly something that Krikzz needs to update in the EverdriveGBA.

yes - you can play GB cames through a GBA everdrive. i tested that it works. however the screen is reduced and doesnt take up the entire display

Does it use the Goomba Color emulator? This one in particular does work (also on other flashcarts) but it has issues with some games that are from what I recall not really patchable due to hardware limitations of the GBA (Pokemon Crystal was one of them).

Same with ez flash iv? Lol that's what i have

I think the bigger point is whether GG will actually work this way too

How are you streaming KZfaq PCM?

Same

All other Nintendo-centric Analogue products have had jailbreaks that let you load different cores and ROMs through the SD-card. I don't know for a fact this will be available for the Pocket but I'd be surprised if not. It won't be officially endorsed for legal reasons, of course, but still. You also have the option of using Everdrives out of the box, which "Nintendon't" can't do anything about, just like they can't do anything about emulators. If the jailbreak does happen the value of the Analogue Pocket will be insane; you can load up just about every retro handheld there is, as well as PC Engine HU-Card games. Here's hoping for a WonderSwan core as well.

You can use roms on this by converting them to .pocket files, letting you load them through GB Studio. It's not OFFICIAL support but seems like an intentional backdoor.

Original hardware doesn't support video out.

This popped into my head lol

The price tag is certainly high, but this device will safeguard GB, GBC and GBA legacy for decades. As older hardware die out, this one will pave the way for non-original devices with native-level compatibility. I just hope there exist (or we one day invent) an FPGA-equivalent for GPU chips. That way, we’d have a better chance at creating non-original N64 (and later) devices with native-level support.

@@Operational117 yes, there is definitely a case for preservation and keeping games alive. That's a good aspect of these projects.

this is not a software but rather a hardware problem i guess - it sounds like the electronical signal going to the OUT does not go a clean 0 but rather "waves out" - hope you understand what i try to say.

@XCL4M4t10N yes it is

@@ModernVintageGamer Thanks for correcting this point before I potentially made a fool of myself xD I'm certainly not an expert in what counts as emulation or not.

@@analebanane508 That may be the case, but it's kinda weird it only happens with Shantae. What makes it different from other games?

@@TriteHexagon if i had to guess it is the cause of the frequenzy? that the snare of that game hits a "special freq" that the soundbell could not handle? So that the Frequenzy leads the bell to fade out the signal which make that weird effect. I am not really sure about all of this but it is worth a looking into this - if i am wrong, then its proofen that i am not right, right? so there is nothing bad that can happen by exploring my theory in the wild praxis ;)

MVG gets paid by chris taber at analogue for the positive reviews

It's most likely not an issue of the basic implementation of the envelope. It's probably some quirk, like zombie mode, that's not implemented quite correctly.

Just asked and got confirmation from kevtris that it's indeed related to zombie mode and it behaves like GBA hardware. If you change the game to not run as GBA, the issue goes away.

... in a firmware yet to be released.

Hello there

Bro, my modded Phat PS3 on 4.88 got banned a few weeks back, and I’m a dumb noob that didn’t look into PSN Tools etc before I went and got my account of 13 years nuked, and then... - Oh wait, wrong channel 😉

That's the problem with a lot of these custom, emulated consoles.

What about Australia? The worst with imports. So many assumptions sadly is the American audience optimized releases for that region being the big audience for retro lately. When it comes to EU usually thinks like the reproduction of micro computers are treated better due to more nostalgia for those products. E.g That Amstrad thingy

I can't even get one in America. Always sold out

It's too expensive. I'd rather buy a Switch Lite.

@@basshead. You can't play GB, GBA, etc on Switch, so...

@@nintendo1889x Did your mom not teach you lying is bad?

@@basshead. You can't play those natively is what he means. And as far as using emulation, the switch is very poor at it, you're better off buying an ambernic or similar device.

@@andyboxish4436 And neither can you play them on the steam deck natively. And you know 99 percent of people won't play them legally either, which is whatevs. I'm not that innocent either.

I thought I recognized it from DOS. I feel so oooold

Ok.

With our luck they would have gotten a display that's just as wide as the one they selected but shorter, not improving things for GBA users and shafting GBC/GB players overall.

I ordered mine with the dock to play on my 70" oled

It's a pick your poison situation. Use the GBA aspect ratio and now GB, GBC, etc. games have black bars on the side. GB aspect ratio and now GBA games have top & bottom black bars. It's a given when trying to have a bunch of handheld systems playable on one unit and many of them had unconventional screen ratios.

would be better if the screen was either at the top or bottom, which would make the black bars pretty much a non issue I think. that or hacking games so they're full screen, the 3ds can widescreen DS games, why couldn't this too

you can see the form factor (The original game boy form factor but with extra buttons), as for how the experience will be for you is something that will be pretty personal

@@hdofu you're right, the point is since he's saying that playing gba games feels better with the original gba modded with an IPS monitor, I was wondering if that form factor could feel like a gba sp fully opened And since it isn't simple to try by myself (it isn't really cheap), I was curious about that :)

@@DsDoomAlexander IMO, I think by explicitly stating a regular GBA is his preferred layout, that it's implied the Analog is more akin to playing an SP.

I can imagine the shoulder buttons are a big factor for how the device feels. I hate the tiny shoulder buttons on the GBA SP, and much prefer the big original ones. But the analogue has even shoulder buttons on the back of the device... That is especially weird!

@@overlordalfredo I reeeeeally prefer the original gba form factor, in fact I have made mod mine gba with a back light screen and the result is awesome Since this console seems EPIC I was wondering this and consider acceptable to play gba game on a device that resemble a gba sp

3d is definitely a different matter tho. Gba games are much easier to run

@@mkyprm Resolution scaling can only look better with more hardware pixels, there is zero downside to higher resolution displays, as long as Switch keeps using OLED they may as well jump straight to a 4K screen in the handheld.

GB Studio is free 😉 no addons required

Yeah they're finally shipping the pre-order units after a 6 months of delays past its intended May 2021 release. Orders open up again tomorrow. I almost forgot too until my feed got smacked with Pocket videos.

no, emulation is legal by us law, and that's why there's ton of emulation retro machines, handheld or that hooks to tv, like anbernic ones. There will be no lawsuit as long as they will not provide roms. This thing cartrige only... well, because they chose to do it that way. You could still use flashcarts with this thing though

You can use an Everdrive (or equivalent) with it, and run ROMs. To be fair, the quality of the screen/handheld is superb here and blows away anything I could do with a RetroPie handheld kit, or Android based emulation device. Plus, it’s FPGA and essentially a clone of original hardware, instead of software emulation. All in all, it’s a great device. And I think the market that is interested in this sort of device will have ways to get around the SD card restrictions to run ROMs on it, if they want to. Just my two cents.

I believe all Analogue products can run ROMs off an SD card

@Jonathon Capshaw This thing can't, it's officially said on the website. So there are only two ways for making this possible: Someone codes a custom firmware (which might be very hard or improbable, depending on how well the hardware is documented), or using Everdrive like hardware, which is very expensive, on top of to the Pocket's cost. Yeah, they won't sell much of these, sadly. It could become a very expensive rarity in a few years when it's not available anymore, and possibly still is the best way for portably running the old games. So it still for sure is a very interesting thing for collectors. (Well, maybe there might be a third way: If people find a way for abusing the GB studio import to play commercially made ROMs.)

@@elmariachi5133 If you follow the scene, you'll know that analogue doesn't "officially" support custom firmware and roms to avoid legal issues, but every other analogue device, within weeks of release, gets a custom firmware suspiciously created by someone who has had months of time to prepare it and made readily available. basically, their lead dev is making a jailbreak and releasing it unnoficially to avoid legal troubles. I'd expect the same thing with the pocket.

As I understand, the point of this devices are not just to play games but to replicate as much as posible the original hardware output for preservation. Most people won't care but this devices are made to be compare against original hardware, not software emulation.

The scaling is horrible when playing GBA games on 3DS.

@@jonathanturnbull7131 There is a pixel perfect option but I'll grant that most people prefer a filled screen lmao. I primarily played on Game Boy Micro so it feels right to me

as far as I know you can't play every GBA game on the DSi and 3DS, there are massive compatibility issues. Half the games run perfectly, but the other half have issues or won't play at all.

I would love PS2 handheld like this too.

A 3DS is not as near as old as GB, or GBA... OLED would be sweet but, in 10-15 years when the 3DS is retro system there might be some new TV/video tech out that might blow away OLED. What I am trying to get at in 10-15 years the tech will change for sure.

I _would_ love to see an FPGA 3DS with a screen resolution high enough to also play DS games without being blurry. I don't know if it's possible, but native upresing would be _insanely_ cool. There are a lot of awesome things that could be done with an FPGA 3DS.

Not happening for a long time. FPGA capabilities are quite limited. From what I've heard, PS1 is probably the best that could be squeezed out of this tech today.

@@Alexey65536 Damn 😭

You will get your hands on one. It may just take forever.

Preorders went back up this morning, not sure how long supplies will last, usually a couple days

Preorders opened about an hour ago. It was no problem ordering a system. Good luck!

Preorders just opened I got mine literally hours after it opened.

It's not sold out yet. Makes me feel kinda funny ordering mine within seconds of it being available.

I’m a huge handheld fan overall, and love the Game Gear, but you are truly missing out as the Gameboy family has a stellar library.

Yeah the cartridge blocking your fingers is super weird and the bezels are bigger than I would expect. It’s very hard to justify the price for me. Not being able to run backups out of box is kind of a bummer

Thats what i was thinking. And its 100 percent accurate. Unless you want the screen output. Then you need a GameCube 🤣

Personally, I want the better screen but have no interest in learning how to install a new screen or potentially having to deal with a used GBA breaking in one way or another. The added ability to play on the TV, even if I probably won’t use it that frequently, is a nice addition. I found it difficult to find a used SP in really good condition for a decent price earlier this year. Might as well spend the extra money and know I’m getting something brand new.

@@RicardoTrevinoLohman There are mods to add video output to the GBA.

I don't know, $60+ difference isn't that much for a better screen and great potential flexibility. No doubt this will be jailbroken soon and you'll be able to run roms from the sd card. Also, Genesis/SNES cores can't be far behind. Pretty much I think of this as a lower-powered MiSTer.

ONLY problem with OLED, it suffers from burn in. Not ideal for a video game system like this. A good IPA display will do a awesome job with out burning in.

@@TheCoolDave it really depends of the panel in question. Some panels can remain pristine for 5 years and a bit more. Others on the other hand start showing burn-in in less than 2 years. IPS LCD will always be a better choice in my opinion but I don't blame people who want to sacrifice durability for better contrast.

LMAO. OLED and micro-LED are overkill for retro games.

@@snugswashere6504 right! Don't want to see those GBC pixels, unless they are simulated!

@@lelsewherelelsewhere9435 visible pixels have nothing to do with screen type, but pixel density

They are doing that tomorrow

Chances are you'll be waiting more than a year, but pre-orders open again soon. I got a couple originally and sold them for £500 and £600 respectively. Plan on doing the same again.

@@X22GJP awful person.

Yeah good luck.

now? There's many lol

I really dislikes oled screens cause there's a lot of black smudge an and the degradation is noticable to me atleast

@@-aexc- I’ve only ever seen black smearing on an oled from a galaxy s7 edge. I haven’t seen that issue on newer Samsung phones, OLED iPhones, nor my switch. I’m sure it’s avoidable. And the burn in isn’t nearly as fast if you don’t have a vibrant filter on. It’s why you see almost every used galaxy s8 on eBay or with sbi and not on a lot of iPhone X’s. Apple doesn’t put a beauty vibrant/vivid filter on and Samsung does. It’s why you’ll see noticeable burn in after only a year on Samsung devices vs 4 year old iPhones that don’t have it in a lot of cases. Both of these issues can be addressed. Also not running the display at really high brightness GREATLY increases the lifespan of an oled display.

@@lieutent2654 It depends so much on the kind of pOLED panel, had a phone with an lg panel from 2017 and the ghosting came in like a week, I believe this has been improved, and was never as big an issue in the samsung panels, but the black smudging is still very much present. Can't say i've been much a fan of pOLED

@@lieutent2654 maybe I'm just more sensitive to the black smudge cause it bothers me on every phone.

@@thecryingsoul friends and I were actually just talking about this and one of them did bring up if it could be when the panels are LG rather than Samsung, since Apple is known to only use Sammy right now and of course Sammy uses their own. I wonder what panel the NS OLED uses? Regardless I still believe OLED is far superior when executed properly.
