i already have roms, the odin pro runs on android, and it takes a lot of dicking around doing it one by one, i have been hunting for an all in solution just like this to streamline the process@@Madlittlepixel
Man, all these new cores are fantastic. They transformed the pocket into my favorite handheld for retro gaming. Thanks for sharing this. This is a really nice solution.
I'm not American, I want to buy an Analog pocket but I don't have a credit card, just a service that doesn't work through pre orders. When is this device going to be available for regular buying???
@@Jucelegario hey, I’m sorry but I don’t know. They’ve been taking preorders since the first batch was shipped and I haven’t heard any updates related to them shipping additional batches yet. Honestly, most of their products are not available on their store for very long because of how few they product so I can understand your frustration. I wish I had a better answer for you.
Just makes me more excited to finally get one! Group B ships Q4 (started Oct 1) so fingers crossed. And props to @madlittlepixel for the MS Zune link on his desktop.
Thanks for the video. Apparently, I used an older version of the updater, but it got the current stuff. I am running the new version just in case. Way easier to set things up.
The wireless one never shuts down the Bluetooth, not even if you have it plugged to the computer and the computer is off. And the sticks' necks start to disintegrate after 2 months of good use.
Bro, this is awesome!!! I just got my Pocket last week. Your instructions are simple and to the point. Thank you! I'm also running a 256GB Sandisk Extreme Plus Micro SD card. Just got done playing some NES Batman and Contra 3. Dig the Rammstein hat, too! Saw them last year at the Vikings stadium. Rock on! \m/
Not sure if its just me but.. using the updater.. everythings cool except Neo Geo.. Keep getting this error, Framework "SROM" id3. No idea how to fix and everything I saw to try on TH-cam didnt help. Anyone have any ideas???
im unable to do this when i get my pocket im useless at doing stuff like this allso i go not slot to put a sd card in to my pc and im permanenty bedbound would be nice if i could find someone kind enuff to do this for me and send me the sd card
This was amazing; thank you so much! This is going to be my new go-to machine for 8-16 bit gaming I think, and it's FPGA not emulated. The ONLY system this thing is really missing right now is Atari Lynx....hopefully soon. Also, can you do save states for any of these games? Or is it battery save games only that save to the "saves" file on the pocket? Also---What controller works well with the dock?? THANK YOU!!
The github auto updater I showed and linked in the description grabs the latest official firmware and puts it on your micro SD card. Once you put it into the pocket you will have it updated, takes a couple mins.
did I understand this correctly? No need to keep getting a new updater, you just use the same updater exe file as it will always download the most recent files and auto-update it?
so I followed the steps but when i run updater, I hit update all but when its downloading cores, it says uh oh something went wrong and there's nothing in the assets files. Any help?
I wanted to ask if, I can do this to an SD card i have but i recently purchase the analogue pocket. So I’m waiting for it to ship. But can I do this without having the analogue pocket?
Hey i have an issue, my pocket wont read that i have an sd card in there so it wont format the sd card, therefore cant update firmware or download cores, yada yada Would appreciate any advice or if anyones had experience with this, just let me know😢
MAME Is emulation, not FPGA - arcade games have to be ported to work individually generally speaking. FGPA is different from software emulation. MAME won't work.
You need the Darksoft Neo Geo pack, I cannot directly link it but go to the internet archive and search for htgdb-gamepacks and you will find what you need.
@@Madlittlepixel I have it! The game folders are all in the common drive. The Unibios 1 is in the common drive, when I go to open the folders in Analog there is nothing showing in them.
@@Stevel_ Hmm, well it looks like there have been some updates to the Neo Geo core and there are actually 2 Neo Geo core options now. But check the github for what the new requirements are if any, I havent had a chance to dig all the way into it yet but will later today. But here is the link github.com/Mazamars312/Analogue_Pocket_Neogeo
@@Madlittlepixel Thanks I re-downloaded the core which contained the JSON files I was missing, still can't find the .LO file you need...but going to keep at it. There is a video on this but the guy is all over the place.
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the big deal with this system? A retroid pocket 3 can run up to dreamcast emulation. So with these new Analogue Pocket cores, you can basically run emulation? Why wouldnt a person just buy a retroid pocket 2 plus or retroid pocket 3? This system feels like a hype beast system where if you don't say anything good about it, the " hardcore" gamers will chastise you? Like the kings new cloths , but really he wasnt wearing Sh*t and ppl were just sucking up and kissing butt? I want answer now damnit.
Your comment shows to me you dont understand what this actually is. You dont care otherwise youd have figured it out, but not wasting my time explaining it to you. Go play your retroid pocket
@@Madlittlepixel first they say it's just for cartridge and it have exact hardware for retro systems. Now it's using emulation? Like wtf? It costs way too much. Kings new cloths syndrome. You see how upset and defensive you got? Thats just not normal. Lol
@@brpadington thank you bro. I appreciate you. So it's like a raspberry pi machine. U can programm it to do other stuff if you have the know how. Got it. That makes more sense. So me as a casual retro gamer don't need this. Thank you for being nice and not actin all elite and condescending. I respect that.
@@thaiden03 it really boils down to the difference between emulation in software or at the hardware level. This machine would be for someone that wants extremely accurate game play to the original hardware. Most people won't notice the improved accuracy.
Is this the same Analogue, the company that never has stock, can only build limited runs of some of their offerings, and never publishes updates about when they might have more stock? Nice products, useless company. They are dead to me.

can you do a similar video for the odin pro and the retroid pocket 3?
@@frogtoesdynamite5741 dont have either of those handhelds. But you just have to download those games. This works a little different.

THANK YOU! You are the first person to make this process easy and less confusing for noobs! I appreciate you!
Thanks for this brand new information. Looks like it’s finally time for me to open up my Analogue Pocket
Merci, l'analogue pocket a un sacré potentiel, hâte de recevoir le mien en 2023 🙂😉
Just makes me more excited to finally get one! Group B ships Q4 (started Oct 1) so fingers crossed. And props to @madlittlepixel for the MS Zune link on his desktop.
Did yours arrive?
Thank you for making this video. You helped me and my 2 buddies have our pockets set up before we even got them and we love them
Thank you, this made everything 100x simpler and effective
Just got mine and this is the perfect video, currently running the updater whilst playing some Super Mario Land 2
Super helpful video thanks man! All the BIOS questions I had were addressed and answered in this video!
I love you Madlittlepixel! You're the GOAT!
Thanks! This was super helpful, i got my pocket today and was able to set-up with all the cores.
Q4 can't come quick enough... between the Pocket and Persona 5 on the PC... gonna be a great Christmas.
So this is like Update_all for MISTer?
Thanks for the video. Apparently, I used an older version of the updater, but it got the current stuff. I am running the new version just in case. Way easier to set things up.
This video was so helpful for setting it up, you got my sub and like! Thanks!
So appreciate this!!! Great utility by this awesome person and great video!
Noice. You think something similar for the super NT or Nes NT will come out ? Just a thought. Amazing update. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing 😊
Should be getting mine soon o.0
Awesome vid. Love it when you make this type of content.
Thank you
Amazing thank you!
Not related to the pocket but I got my 8bitdo pro 2 controller today and I'm in absolute love with it, thanks Ron 😍 😍😍😍

😎👍🏾 very helpful and insightful, thank you!! Great vid!
Great video, but I hope those packs don't get removed again due to attention.
Been playing this way more now that I can take all these games on the go without having to carry around all these carts.
Not sure if its just me but.. using the updater.. everythings cool except Neo Geo.. Keep getting this error, Framework "SROM" id3. No idea how to fix and everything I saw to try on TH-cam didnt help. Anyone have any ideas???
Hi I have the same issue, is there any work around?
im unable to do this when i get my pocket im useless at doing stuff like this

would be nice if i could find someone kind enuff to do this for me and send me
the sd card
anyone know what the largest SD card the pocket can handle?
Mine has 64G and I think is overkill. You can have the full Ronset of every retro platform perfectly in a smaller micro sd. 👍

Why can I only load cores from the developer menu and the openfpga menu only shows the qr code?

Nice wallpaper. May I know where to get ?
Madpixel sorry if you mentioned it but how do you get the latest firmware and update the system to use the cores?
The github auto updater I showed and linked in the description grabs the latest official firmware and puts it on your micro SD card. Once you put it into the pocket you will have it updated, takes a couple mins.
did I understand this correctly? No need to keep getting a new updater, you just use the same updater exe file as it will always download the most recent files and auto-update it?
What's the point of that if you can't use the filters and whatnot
what folder you put the rom for arcade ?? what is the name ? cant found it ??
so I followed the steps but when i run updater, I hit update all but when its downloading cores, it says uh oh something went wrong and there's nothing in the assets files. Any help?
Was the largest SD card to use.. for all this cores and Games
I just got my pocket but this seems so overwhelming to me. I don't even know what memory cards a food memory card
Do you HAVE to be a Patreon shpporter to get all the Arcade games?
Thanks for this
Hii! Just one question, how do u find the gameboy advance games?
Is it normal to see all these error messages when installing?
Keep getting error communicating with github when i try to download the cores, anyone know how to fix this?
I wanted to ask if, I can do this to an SD card i have but i recently purchase the analogue pocket. So I’m waiting for it to ship. But can I do this without having the analogue pocket?
Is it okay to leave the executable file and all the read me text files on the micro SD card when I use it in my Analogue Pocket?
How do you screen record your pocket?
@Madlittlepixel
Is there a way to play mame arcade games on the pocket? Such as the simpsons arcade game?
Yes some games have been ported. The Simpsons has been as well, but I dont think its publicly available yet.
Nice!
Does the micro sd need to be formatted to fat32?
Are the rom files converted to .pocket?
How do you put a micro SD card on a gaming pc? My pc case has no SD slot.
Your gonna have to buy an external SD card reader that plugs into your USB port then
Hey i have an issue, my pocket wont read that i have an sd card in there so it wont format the sd card, therefore cant update firmware or download cores, yada yada
Would appreciate any advice or if anyones had experience with this, just let me know😢
Can u save state with these cores?
when you load these in do you lose any functionality of the cartridge reader in the back?
No
Dude, where's the mame core? Can this run up to PS1?
MAME Is emulation, not FPGA - arcade games have to be ported to work individually generally speaking. FGPA is different from software emulation. MAME won't work.
I'm still a little fuzzy on why they call it hardware-based emulation, when you need to install software to make the various games run.
Because its code that programs the fpga to run as if it was the original hardware.
@@Madlittlepixel So basically "You're a Motorola 68000 now! Do what that does!"
@@SomeOrangeCat Exactly. The software is just to program the FPGA to function like different chips.
I don't know about all these devices pretending to be something they're not...
...my Aunt Jessica scratched her balls and agreed with me.
This rules! THX!!
So where's the discord?
anyone know the biggest card you can use on the pocket?
1TB but I'm rocking a 256GB and loving it. Mine is still definitely overkill.
thank you for answering my question... I know 1tb os overkill just wanted to know
How big of an sd card should I get for this?
8 - 128gb is what most use. Depends on if you want to play cd based games. Otherwise 64gb works well.
It doesn't work for me at all! :(
Anyone have any idea where to put MAME files
MAME is emulation, not FGPA - it doesn't work that way. Arcade boards work very differently and you need support by board or by board platofrm.
