Discussion for all things Analogue.
Duo coming out soon, fingers crossed.
But for starters, let's take a look at Pocket.
NES and SNES unlocked.
As far as I can tell, there's no other comparison for FPGA on a portable screen.
It. Is. Good.

I love my Mega SG. I'm on the email list for when the Duo comes out. Not much of a handheld guy but I agree the screen looks fantastic on the Pocket

The Duo looks sweet. I just signed up. Why is everything they sell out of stock? Supply chain issues still a problem?

I don't think supply chain is the only issue. They've long had issues with supply before the pandemic.
At least now, the pre-ordering is not prone to bots just buying up everything.
I was able to snag a Pocket pre-order in the most recent round thanks to their new queue system.
I'm hoping they do the same for Duo.

Re: Pocket Unchained
So far, these cores have been unlocked on the Pocket: GB/C/A, SG1000, SMS, GG, NES, SNES
Genesis/Neo Geo are in the works.
The cores will work with a dock so essentially, the Pocket can be Mega SG, NT mini and Super NT in one.

It's hard to understate my glee in having a portable FPGA-based NES and SNES. The fact that Jotego has his sights on the platform too is really reassuring news for lots of awesome arcade ports.

Yea, I don't think people realize how good this is. I took it for a test drive, it is excellent.
Only other feature I really want would be the sleep/resume(suspend) function.
The Spiritualized cores (GB/C/A, SMS) do support it, so I think it's only a matter of time.

Sleep/Wake requires save state support.
Most of these user-submitted cores are based on the MiSTer versions. If MiSTer has save support, the Pocket eventually will as well. If not, one of the bigger MiSTer contributors - either the PlayStation core or GBA core guy - said it's really hard to retrofit save state before if you didn't have it in mind from the start.

They are pricy but fpga is the best emulation technology out there.

Quizzle! Can anyone name lone Analogue console that doesn't use FPGA technology?

Analogue NT
I'll certainly accept that since it is correct. Though, I was actually looking for another answer. Any other guesses?

That wooden Neo Geo console they made used actual MVS guts, correct?

Yup! That's it! That's the one!! But, bonus points to @Lunar for remembering what I'd forgot.

I haven't had time to look into the light mods for the NGPC yet, so looking forward to the NGPC adapter. Duo would be lovely too.

For my money, I'd prefer to spend $100 on an emulation handheld vs $1000 for an FPGA.
Granted, I should have preordered the Pocket NT when I had the chance at regular price...but in the market today, that's simply too much for a video game handheld.

Where are you getting $1000?
