In case anyone is concerned, in the US, warranty void stickers are technically illegal and not enforceable grounds to refuse warranty service. They are used by companies to scare consumers into using first party repair services instead of third party, or independent, services.
In the US it will NOT void the warranty. The FTC ruled in 2018 that voiding warranties over a tamper seal “generally prohibited by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act” Basically unless it can be proven your method of opening the device was the causal factor of any sort of damage, a company is not allowed to void your warranty over open a device.
That board is gorgeous. Thanks for scratching the itch for me and tearing this down on camera. Also your thumbnail image was super clean. You are a legend.
I used to work for Altera (now Intel FPGA) early to late 2000's, back when FPGA was quite expensive and not a particularly well-known technology (very much non commercial) outside of the EE community. I'm really enjoying seeing it go mainstream, especially in the music synthesizer and retro gaming spheres. Make me nostalgic for those times, it's a fascinating technology that I really miss working with.
It actually doesn't matter in this case because they're a purely US company. They won't get to play musical courtrooms like bigger ones might so they'll always be subject to US law.
I think I found the LCD panel they are using. It is made by BOE for VR goggles and you can buy one for about $20. BOE VS035ZSM-NW0 Just to add, Gorilla glasses are not that expensive.... for the manufacturer, probably below 2 dollars.
Looks like the 10 pin header under the battery is a jtag port, used to access the fpgas and config flash chips inside. They probably flash the production firmware and run diagnostics through it at the factory. Everything looks beautifully designed, may have to pick one up at some point.
I appreciate how thoroughly you describe what's happening onscreen because usually I'm not able to actually watch the video, driving, dog walk,working,etc. Thanks!
Awesome video, thanks for the tear-down FYI Elliot, developers won't have access to reprogram the smaller Cyclone 10 FPGA. That's where the Analogue OS, the scaling and IO stuff sits. The actual system cores run on the Altera Cyclone V, that's the chip developers will have access to be able to build custom cores: www.analogue.co/support/resource/developer-faq
@@supermaster2012 What are you talking about? What is it that is being walled off? Seems like developers will have access to pretty much anything they might want to and the Pocket will almost certainly end up with a 'jailbroken' firmware, like Analogue's other products, so I fail to see any real issue here.
Another benefit of the battery enclosure is safety, if it overheats and blows up you're less likely to get hurt or it may slightly reduce chances of fire. Pretty neat touch.
Warranty void stickers are illegal, you can't void the warranty just because someone's opened up their device, you have to prove they damaged it. Every other manufacturer stopped using them a while ago, I expected Analogue to know better.
The pocket really does look phenomenal. Years of modding gameboys and I still can't make something to match this for the the amount of money. Even with the price increase, it looks to be worth every penny of $220
Exactly I've seen lots of comments calling it overpriced but if people had any clue how hard it is too make something from scratch they'd realize this is well worth the money. So these criticisms about emulators being better is far from the truth and unfair.
Well said. I was thinking of people doing the full Boxy Pixel mod to a GBA SP and how much that costs. This is totally worth buying. The dock looks really nice too.
@@reactking7093most people saying that are assuming this is just an emulation box. It's a lot different and obviously that screen is a massive difference as well. Hate them all you want,but they designed and manufactured one hell of a fine product.
Totally, I don’t see any of these other emulation handheld companies making fpga consoles since you can’t just rip off someone else’s r&d like you can with an emulator@@reactking7093

if the components are that expensive, then the price along with the shipping cost really makes sense. Honestly, totally worth it; I wanted a quality product and I got it!
This is an extremely straightforward teardown; I'm hopeful that maybe we can get some people making some tactswitch dpad mods! Truly, that would be glorious.
I would have used a cloth underneath, to avoid any scratches from the hard surface of the table (one grain of sand is enough to destroy the screen lens). But yeah: this PCB is a beauty!
So since you've got lots DMG gameboy and GBCs, can you check to see if the buttons and d-pad are swappable with stock GB or GBC buttons? They look very similar in size/shape! I would love to pop Boxy Pixel Brass d-pad and buttons in my pocket.

It was really strange to receive a huge amount of contemporary youtube notifications of video reviews of this machine from so many youtubers I follow, the marketing campaign of this company must have been really massive, especially considering the crazy price for one (however much good) handheld for emulation.
@eskaycee The investment is massive precisely in proportion to the type of product and the potential of the company, given that many youtubers have released the video at the same time, it means that all of them have received the full sample and that being this very expensive it was a rather relevant investment. Evidently the company has made arrangements with all these youtubers to release the video all the same day, in order to flood potential buyers (who therefore follow these thematic channels) with notifications. Bottom line, can I advise you to count to 10 next time before telling strangers on the internet things like "are you out of your mind"?

It’s pretty common practice, actually. They sent out review units in advance, giving reviewers time to evaluate the device and prepare their reviews, all with a known and agreed-upon date for lifting the embargo. Mutually beneficial for everyone: the device gets a jolt of publicity, for the best chance at rising above the everyday noise and getting noticed; reviewers can do a deeper, less-hurried analysis and produce higher-quality reviews without risking being “late to the party”; and consumers have near-instant access to a variety of opinions and perspectives. I’d say the outsized buzz is fueled by Analogue’s reputation for producing premium-quality devices that are extremely popular. For many of the reviewers, I’m sure it’s a nice change of pace being able to review a product they don’t expect will leave them disappointed.
@@LucaBlightOfHighland Analogue has pretty deep pockets, pun intended, for this marketing stunt because they cashed in all pre-orders during the first wave. They basically moved all stock before they even had a finished prototype in hand. And for what it's worth they knew they didn't meet demand on the first wave either with them still flying off the shelves again in the second order wave that started today.
Thanks for this. My Analogue was in storage for about 4 months, And it was charged. now I tried turning it on, battery is completely dead it shows a red exclamation point Next to the battery percentage. if you hook up the charger it doesn’t charge although it does turn on and functions. Email analogue support as it’s still on warranty, but if all else fails I’ll have to try replacing the battery myself some way.
