Can you do a review on the polymega?
This is becoming a series now of Bob falling more and more in love with this device can’t wait for 3 more installments
@Marko Polo using a dpad on a screen sucks so bad tho but I do 2
@Marko Polo i also prefer to play retro games on my phone..its hassle free 😁
@Marko Polo maybe you'll like the Miyoo mini v2/3
First of all, there has been an UPDATE to the Analogue's firmware that allows for button remapping on the openFPGA chip (yey!).
Second, I do not have a telegram and there is no contest. All those comments are spam and there's nothing I can do about it. Please report them if you see them.
Thanks dude. Love your content.
Just reported the spam. But I would certainly accept a prize lol. Great content.
Reported that filthy spam. I KNEW I wasn’t that lucky lol
The idea of having a portable emulation device like an Analogue Pocket or Retroid Pocket 3 is definitely growing on me, but I definitely agree that changes/iterations are so frequent that I am hesitant to buy one of these devices now just to see a more streamlined/more powerful device get announced in 6 months.
Well that's the nature of tech so you'll be waiting a while. But you can probably rest easy knowing Analogue does it right and won't be doing something like this device for a long time. If you don't mind grabbing one of the more generic Chinese devices, yeah they'll probably spec bump more often. But honestly what will that really get you? A couple more cores available?
You can also build an emulation pc. No need to limit yourself to buy prebuilt emulation by companies
Regardless of the new tech that comes out, these devices will always play these retro games. If your goal is to emulate all consoles up to current then yeah you’ll be better off with a PC but if you want to play game boy today tether 4 years from now with the device you get today will still play that game boy lol
@@yoaiou Yeah exactly. If software emulation was all you were after the analogue pocket is actually pretty low on the list of things you should be looking at in the first place. It's primary purpose is hardware emulation, this is just a nice new perk on top of an already great design.
The Pocket won’t be updated for like a decade. It already has an overkill screen and FPGAs aren’t getting cheaper or better in the low end. You want a portable FPGA this is pretty much it.
You actually CAN change button mappings now, as of the most recent firmware version! I changed my NES layout to have the “Y” button mapped to “B”, and the “B” button mapped to “A”. Also, if you use the no-intro roms for SNES, those should already have the headers trimmed :)
cant wait for the next video "the analogue pocket can now watch moribus in 4k HDR 120fps"
I remember downloading Neo Geo roms OVERNIGHT on my dialup connection in 1999. Who remembers NeoRageX?
Goated emulator. Neogeo greatest era of gaming
I have a few of these handhelds, it’s good to have more opinions or hot takes on the latest one that comes out. I would almost say because there are so many variants releasing that I enjoy content like this to see what to buy and what to avoid.
any recommendations?
I'm a big fan of the MiSTer. It wasn't easy to set up, purchase proper cables, connect to my CRT, purchase a nice arcade stick but it wasn't hard, and all of it was super fun! This Analogue Pocket? I want really bad now too.
Where do I buy a MISTer?
Good luck with preorder dates... don't bother with scalping prices one ebay.
It'd be really cool if they could ship these out or even let us regular buyers know what's going on.
Right! Still waiting for mine to arrive. Pre order was placed an confirmed in 2021 ffs!!
@@lomaxo3978 same here. I contacted support, they said it was scheduled to ship somewhere in 2023…
@@lomaxo3978did you get it?
At this point I'm just waiting for Bob to edit an actual coffee shop where he is everyone inside
The emulation devices keep getting churned out and it looks like there's a lot of noise, but once you decide up to what console you are willing to emulate and what form factor is best for you, the list will definitely narrow down.
It's not an emulator.
I think it's neat that there's so many options for handheld emulators nowadays. Personally I bought my RG351M a year+ ago, and I'm perfectly happy to have that be my sole emulator handheld until PS2 is available in smaller form factors. IMHO it's all about finding something that works for you, buying it and enjoying it until there's a big leap that allows for more emulation options that your old one can't do.
It's not an emulator.
@@cashtache yes it is. Hardware emulation via FPGA is emulation. It's not magic.
I mostly just like hearing about what these devices are capable of and what your opinion is on them. I may never buy one of these emulation devices tbh. But if I do! I'll have like 200 Wulff Den vids to sift through to find what works best for me.
It's not an emulator.
What we really need is an analogue pocket DS with enough power to play DS and 3DS games
DS-style emulation consoles I would be sold on
I ordered my Analouge pocket in december 2021 and it should come der this december, so any video you make, hype me even more :D
so analouge content is well appreciated by me :)
I really enjoyed the pocket, but as you said, it costs too much and can't be bought readily so I was too afraid to travel with it. I also really missed the option for all the quality of life features such as tons of save slots, fast forward, and many more. And my old eyes also wanted a bigger screen.
The price for having the accurate hw on the go is pretty fair. You compare it to a china emu handheld. Wrong comparison. And save states will be updated once they ported it from the MiSTer project.
@@ninetendopesaitama2107 tbh I'd prefer to just buy a old nintendo switch and mod it, costs the same but way better
@@ninetendopesaitama2107 so you can’t save games on this device??
@@claclaz95 wdym way better. Then youre emulating. Way worse
Great as always, interesting info Wulff Den, keep it up!
Man I'm really looking forward to mine coming come December. It'll be nice to have it as a bit of a retro all in one handheld.
It's the sort of device you might expect to see on Billions, I think boutique is the peerfect word for it - it's just too nice to travel with and risk scratching the matte finish. Mine has a few small marks and it's never left the house! I do get a feeling of immense satisfaction when holding such a premium bit of kit though.
I feel like a fully equipped and jailbroke’d PSP GO was and still is the ultimate portable retro gaming device.
Why not Miyoo mini v2? It is more compact, it has small frames (which looks much nicer) and it has everything the same🤷🏼♂️
Nice! I’m hoping to buy one in the future, now I can do so much more with it!
How's the battery life on this thing compared to handhelds with similar battery capacity? I assume FPGAs consume less power compared to software emulation but haven't seen anyone doing any tests to see if the difference is really worth it.
Getting mine delivered tomorrow from the latest batch release. Sooooo excited!!
I don't have an Analogue Pocket, I don't plan to get one, I don't even care that much about retro games. But goddamn, man. You're one of my favorite TH-camrs lately. I love your style so much. It's so obvious you just love games and the art form of it as much as I do, but at the same time you treat it with this simplicity and clarity that I appreciate so much. It's nice to just, listen to somebody talk earnestly and passionately about games. Good fucking job, man. And thanks, for what I know must be a considerable amount of work.
This is the greatest video I’ve seen in awhile. Pumped to get my analog pocket even more now. Thank you for this.
Just got my Pocket today and I'm about to install this
Bob, I come to all your videos expecting an awesome sponsored ad, lol. They are hilarious!
Waiting on my Anolog Pocket, when I finally get it these videos are going to be super helpful
Nice video as always. BTW up until now I never noticed you desktop but dang man clean it up! There are so many files everywhere how do you find stuff? :D
I'm dying to get my analogue pocket, still waiting on them to ship it but every single video here just makes me so excited about it
I have the Anbernic RG351v and love it, but I REALLY want the Analogue Pocket for the sake of actually collecting gameboy carts, and seeing this update just makes it much more appealing! Something about actually putting a cartridge into your handheld is satisfying on its own, yet also having the additional cores to emulate other consoles? yes please!
I feel the same way, but decided to upgrade some GBAs to use my real or reproduced cartridges and link cables
It's not an emulator.
Great vid. 12:44 what is best for this use case: great emulator, runs up to PS1, also is android compatible to run game pass, and costs less than $200?
I got mine about 9 months ago and i love it, most of my retro consoles went into storage for the meantime.
This looks cool and all, hardware emulation also seems like a good option but something that I realized recently is that when I'm on the go I care more about the ease of use that some options can give more than a perfect or accurate representation, like you said fastforward, save states and the option to put the console to sleep in a sec without worrying about the game are great additions. Also It's really hard to justify It with that price over a normal emulation machine if one doesn't have the cartridges or really care about them.
I realized that after my anbernic was stolen and destroyed by a dog, and I went back to use the old 3ds with the extended battery, damn I miss those save states, I need to manually close the gba games because the console doesn't go to sleep mode, after watching your videos multiple times I think I'll get the Pocket 3 or Miyoo Mini, not sure which one yet. the Mini seems nice and portable but the Pocket 3 ability to use It sideways for vertical shooters seems really cool.
This. I keep seeing reviewers gushing over the analogue because it now has rom support. But you could already do that for cheaper. And there's not a huge gap between fpga and emulation, especially when you're playing on a handheld.
The pocket cores are constantly updated so many of those features are only a matter time.
I like seeing a bunch of options. I don't have one yet so it is exciting.
hey @WulffDen :
do you have some thought on the Pocket's docking station?
To be precise: how do SNES games look on a fullHD/4K tv?
im just getting into pocket emulation and it feels like all these updates to devices that are happening made it very hard to land on a device to get first, but the content is appreciated.
I knew this date would come! I am so glad I have a 2nd one of these on order;)
almost 1 year and still no news about my analogue. its crazy
The Analogue Pocket is probably the most beautiful console out there. As Bob mentioned in the video, I’d be too afraid of incidental scuffs, scratches, and marks in general usage. While I tend to baby my electronics, this console is a work of art. I’ll be in trouble if the supply catches up to demand and it can become more of an impulse purchase. The only other hang up for me is the inability to emulate N64 (form factor and control limitations aside).
It's so cool! I hope they make one that's a bit more comfortable to hold like a GBA style form factor and with a bigger screen.
That’s exactly what I’m holding out hoping for. The GBA style will be amazing and comfortable would be much better
I think getting the RG351v took care of my retro games and I have a few upgraded GBAs to play real or reproduced cartridges
hey there,
one thing I was missing: what about SNES being docked with a fullHD/4k tv? Are there problems there like being blurry, or is everything crystal clear there also?
anyway: great content as always!
Do you need an SD card to even use it out of the box? And what size and brand do I need? I’ve never even formatted an SD card before either, will the console format it for me like anything else does? I have so many questions and the group I joined on Facebook just told me to look at the pinned comments but I want fast answers instead of looking around blindly.
Fun fact, Bean City is real. It's called City Bean, though.
I like the analogue pocket I just don't see the point when there are other handhelds that can play all systems up to ps2. Like if this could play psx gamecube and n64 games (maybe add analogue sticks like the gkd mini plus or anbernic) it would be perfect.
Another gripe is that all cool analogue pocket features doesn't work with open FPGA core / roms... So in the end isn't it just higher quality Miyoo for a lot more $$$?
It's exciting for users as well. Because right now, whatever month you try this in, you'll certainly find a good emulation device for emulation up to PS1 for ~60 USD, for emulation up to NDS for less than 100 USD, up to GameCube for ~200 USD etc., and with months passing, newer devices will up the ante again and again. As a user, you just have to make sure you buy one that _really_ suits your needs and wants and stick with it (the good ones get good 3rd party firmware to tinker with later on) instead of buying a new one every other month. I got my Anbernic RG353VS today, which is GBC sized and perfect for what I want and need. (Plus I still love the Miyoo mini, which I make sure I have with me at all times.
Nice video. Very helpful.... As soon as I get my in 2023.
I should have mine coming in next month FINALLY! Super excited to play around with these features!
How long did it take?
@@POSVO A year
I'm in the Q4 group for finally getting one. I'm definitely excited to try this out. Looks awesome 😎
Awesome video, keep up the good work!
this thing just looks so gorgeous that i actually want to just own one, even though id probably never use it
Does the GameBoy Color built-in pallet options not work?
Also, can you save GameBoyCamera pictures straight to the SD card yet?
And then there's me, being perfectly content with a modded n3DS.
Great Stuff, as always!
Does this thing allow you to copy your saves from Gameboy cartridges to the device/SD card?
I want to ask, I'm considering getting this, but do you have a pocket dock, how is it? I thought it'll be neat to have a way to connect to tv and play with controller, kind of like Nintendo Switch, or then use the pocket once a while. I do like buying many consoles, but it probably a waste of money but I just do it anyways. I have the Mega SG but want Super NT, but i think maybe I'll get both Pocket and Super NT, but maybe Pocket and Dock is all I need instead. But again I already have FX Pak Pro so that's why i do want Super NT.
SOOOOOO the FM chip options are amazing. Those are some very special chips for a lot of synth heads like me. It's a very particular sound, with a kinda loaded history around them.
As a beat producer I would have liked to hear more about this aspect. The sequencer too, and midi options
Honestly my iPhone with Delta is the best emulator I’ve ever used. Add the Backbone remote and it’s even better. Organized. All artwork. Auto saves. So good.
You know, the ad on this video made me think: I'd legitimately love a channel of just Bob making videos about making coffee. We got a taste of it on the Bob Wulff channel and I'd love to see more of that.
Awesome video! Where can I buy a Miyoo? Seems like a really cool thing
It is good to know what are our options emulation wise. Even if we arent able to integrate them to our daily life until much later.
Will the games play on your tv with the dock you can purchase from analogue?
About to get mine thos weekend so excited
I enjoy your emulation videos. At some point, I'll buy one!
I still want this thing, and now I want it even more.
last i saw was $500 on ebay :(
@@fatshoelace Just order one and wait till end of next year
I ordered one in February and it should be arriving soon. Analogue is frustrating in a lot of ways, but the quality of their devices is really unmatched. Very excited for it, and I really appreciate how clearly you explained everything. If I'm spending that much money on this, I plan to take advantage of all of the features available.
Sadly most of cool analogue pocket features doesn't seem to work with open FPGA core / roms...
nice to see people acknowledging that this too is emulation, just hardware emulation instead of software emulation
what you said at the end about getting frustrated with the scene kinda rang true for me. like one month after I bought my RP2+ they finally announced the RP3 lmao. But it's a good problem to have honestly, I've had my eye on this scene since like 2014 and it's cool to see it finally in a place I had once only hoped for.
It’s frustrating because I’m getting cold feet on buying ANY portable emulator, but at the same time I’m excited because it means one of these days someone is going to produce a portable emulator that will be almost perfect. That one with the Switch-like UI is really close.
I honestly wish they go back to the xmb style menu. So organized
It's not an emulator.
Aaaah, I can't wait to get mine! Q4 is too vague!
Correction to your very first statement: The update opened up development for their main FPGA chip. The second, smaller, FPGA chip is what handles the OS and other functions. The main CycloneV chip is what all the emulators in the Pocket are running on. So all of these new, third party cores are running on the same physical chip that their cartridge based cores run on.
i would love to try these, still waiting for my order!
I love how when you talk about your mega man X rom... you make sure to put the physical cartridge in the picture.. nice ;)
Hey Bob, I'm probably pulling down the Core listing since now there's an API page that has the cores/install dates. Just figured you'd want to know since we keep taking stuff down that you reference in videos lol. The API Cores thing is listed in the Links on the r/AnalogueInc subreddit but we can get it added on both. We agree its a bit confusing lol.
I want a hardware with bigger OLED screen with the controls on the sides, kinda like a psp without buttons at the bottom of the console with super tight bezels. Have you use or only held a psp slim recently? I think is the perfect shape for this type of products. Big enough to pack great hardware to run up to wii games probably.
I have a miyoo mini, an RP3 and a steam deck. I'm not super interested in more videos about emulators but I watched this whole thing. So maybe I'll just watch anything you upload
Any recommendations for where I can get ROMs? Every where I see online is pretty shady.
I’m waiting for mine to come in. Can’t wait!
Honestly I am more than happy to just keep playing emulators through my steam deck. being able to do emulation and other things all in the same device that I can take with me is just nicer.
Does the dock work with the new cores? Looking forward to that quote a bit
My Pocket unit is finally shipping what size micro SD card do you recommend?
The advancing technologies are a bit frustrating albeit cool. It's like you said as soon as you find something that works for you something better comes out. For me. It was retro collecting. Then it was upgrading the screens on my handhelds. Then the Nintendo switch expansion pack came out. Then everdrives. Replaced my physical cartridges because collecting cartridges is so expensive and now we have machines like the analog pocket and the miyoo mini plus
The Pocket screen is really nice and I have a LOT of Gameboy cartridges, but everything else about it makes me want to just use my Experimental Pi PiBoy DMG when it comes to emulating. It’s buttons are better, it’s more comfortable to hold, and I just prefer Emulation Station. Maybe once the cores have had time to mature, I’ll revisit it. But right now, the screen and eventual Super Gameboy support are the only things the Pocket has going for it
I'd imagine a big feature that you would need for Genesis is remapping buttons on a game-by-game basis or at least for 6 button vs 3 button games. Also, does it do sega cd?
I always like emulation videos Baab. It’s like you don’t know me…it’s my favourite thing.
I had a Gameboy pocket in translucent green as a kid, just picked up an analogue pocket in the same color scheme im pumped. $300 and it came with the dock and a case. This video is great because I don't really own gameboy games anymore, though I plan to grab stuff at pax this year
For emulation now I just stick with my steam deck if I'm home. So much more convenient and comfortable for all my retro and new pixel art games. If I need it to be ultra portable I'll pocket my 280v which is still quite cheap and powerful enough for most my games up through ps1 rpgs.
I have a question about Pokémon Silver/Gold. Since those are time based, and you need the battery to keep track of time while turned off, will time only pass when playing the game? And, if so, will the game ateast still be playable?
This video just makes me realize how great the miyoo mini is.
Probably gonna wait for the next revision of this or upgrade later on for now thinking of getting just a miyoo or a rg353v not sure yet can’t decide
Can you save game process or does it pause tell you return only?
Do I need all the bios files to get my roms to play on the pocket. I'm having a hard time setting it all up
I don't know if the Super NT hardware can support it, but I'd love to see the reverse where GB, GBA, and etc cores open up on that
Won’t happen, Super Nt doesn’t have sufficient hardware for OpenFPGA.
I really can't wait to get mine in the mail now. There's something I've been meaning to try for fun
It’s exciting because it shows that the tech is evolving rapidly and that can only mean good things for us. That said I haven’t pulled the trigger yet on a emulator handheld because of that very reason. There always seems to be something off with one of the devices that turns me off from buying it.
Is it tho ?
My biggest problem is byv the time you get one the next *best* comes out
It's not an emulator.
Sorry, I tried to update according to your instructions, but after the update was completed, the message "analogue bios 1.6 link-mode" appeared on my console screen, and I can no longer enter the system screen, how can I restore it? (Sorry, my English is not very good, please forgive me if the grammar is wrong)
I want to do this! I'm still waiting on my pre-order from several months ago. I am in the Q4 shipping block.
Do we need to always update firmware or just one and done?
