You know I don’t know if I’ve said this before but Bobs creative decision to change the aspect ratio depending on the topic really pushes his videos above and beyond.
Works well for my iPad lol
works great on my old PC CRT
Thank you 🤗
The video is 4:3 (12:9), GameBoy is 10:9. Thats really disappointing! Will not watch it, also unsubscribing instantly.
Honestly, no, the exact opposite of this is the case. It makes the site look terrible with everything squashed inwards and genuinely makes the video unwatchable and feel claustrophobic, if anything.
This would be an awesome development... if I actually owned an Analogue Pocket.
Same, but the ad was nice though.
waiting for mine (should be here by 2023) but hopefully it just keeps getting better from here.
If only It didn't cost an insanely out of mind price
@@alessandromazzini7026 and, even more than that, if it was ever available. I would swallow the high price (to an extent), if I could ever get my hands on one!!! From what I've heard, that has been the biggest issue with Analogue's products... Pair that with the chip shortage we had (and still have to some extent) due to COVID, and here we are in the middle of this mess...
Yeah, I won't get mine until the end of the year
When you say "it finally has been hacked" I didn't expect the same old method that worked pretty much since release.
yup, clickbait
Someone was desperate to please the algorithm lol
I was like, woah, finally? Damn.
In fairness, a surprising number of people are unaware of this workaround. But the use of "finally", one of the internet's favourite words, does make this clickbait-adjacent. I was 99% sure this video was going to be about the old tried and true method, but I still clicked just to make sure lol
This is misleading, nothing new to this video
I'm assuming there's not a more elegant hack on this because the full analogue OS isn't actually out yet. I was hoping it would launch by the time my Q3 order arrives, but who knows.
Yeah same. My Analogue Pocket will probably arrive in the fall, so I was hopeful the complete jailbreak would be available by now (because I also want SNES/MD/PC Engine on the Pocket)
But alas...
Analogue says on the site, the Beta 1.1 will release this month (july)
I was hoping it was something besides the pocket file patches that was being reported here. Doesn't cover save states, no rtc, and can't do anything besides GBC and DMG. If it was a true hack we would potentially have GBA, Game Gear, and a couple other systems available
people like you are so annoying. you can play games from an sd card, is that not good enough? like if it matters that much that you cant play fucking game gear, dont use the hack 😭
Thanks for saving me from watching this.
Yeah Soon as he mentioned the GB Studio I was like.... oh....
Neo-Geo Pocket Color
Yeah pretty disappointing clickbait title, honestly without proper hacked firmware this device is pretty pointless if you've already got a GBA and/or GBC with a decent IPS screen. I really wish Analogue weren't so weird about letting people do whatever they want with their hardware...
i really appreciate all the work you put into your ads, most videos where the "talent" does the ad, i just skip past it, but your ads actually add something to your videos. great job seriously
I like the ratio touch. Makes me want to watch this video on my analogue pocket lol
This man has no business making his ad breaks so good
"I'd reccomend a game boy advance one"
FYI when playing gameboy games on a gba with a flashcart it's actualy emulating them rather than using the gba's hardware backwards compatibility. If you want all gameboy games to work and run properly you'll want a gameboy flashcart.
It is also doing emulation for NES or any other systems you put onto the flash cart, you are just bypassing all the FPGA implementations for those specific systems and instead making it run an emulator that can run on GBA
This is also why GB games on a flashcart will actually work in a GB Micro, despite the missing hardware.
I appreciate the effort of doing a 4:3 aspect ratio video when talking about an old console... BUT the GameBoy was a 10:9 screen and the GBA was a 3:2 screen. Not 4:3.
Omg, guess we’re gonna have to stop watching the video and unsubscribe now.
Minor correction/addition, the GBA EverDrive *can* play GB/GBC/NES games but using software emulation. If you want to play GB/GBC games natively you will need to get a GB/GBC EverDrive.
I like how the video is in 4:3 “academy” aspect ratio. :)
This is more of a workaround for GB and GBC games, tbh. No support for the other systems the Analogue Pocket can run is a huuuuge caveat.
It's a nice interim solution until a more comprehensive jailbreak comes out, but that's about it.
I'd assume because the Analogue Pocket uses an FPGA to act as a GB/GBC it might take some time, but I don't know enough about the hardware/software to say anything definitive.
@@OfficialSilentPLAYS Yeah, we probably just gotta wait for Analogue to start putting out more firmware updates so hackers can poke around and see how it makes the FPGA reproduce other systems.
When that'll be is anyone's giess, though. It's been a long time since the system launched, and they've been oddly silent about updates, as far as I know.
Can I have it?
Hey wood i adore your content and me and my sister love watching your videos and streams! Plus we love the podcast! Love from the UK:)
I love your content so much, Bob. You know you're doing a good job when you make me interested in things I didn't even know about
Thanks for reminding me and describing it in all detail in the video! Have to try it out for myself. I like how you're showing the MGS cartridge. The headline is quite misleading though, in my opinion. I thought the Pocket had actually been hacked, but this is just a workaround for GB/GBC games I already found quite a while ago. My expectations were higher when I clicked on the video!
Whilst I respect that the analogue pocket has helped the handheld market a lot, the fact is that a lot of people now want to have their entire collection on hand because you just can now a days. I used to be a purest for video game cartridges/cds/etc but having to move out and fly to and from uni made it clear that having every single game I own constantly with me when travelling was not only not feasible but could also put said games at risk of getting lost and damaged. And given the placement of the cartridge slot on the pocket being right beside the cartridge slot, I wouldnt and cant blame others for not wanting to take games in and out too much or even use the pocket a lot because of that high risk of knocking the cart out. IIRC someone said that the pocket couldn't handle flash carts all too well, idk if a patch fixed that, but couple that, the hack only allowing gba games and the fact its near impossible to get one, I just can't see myself getting one. At least right now. Maybe if I luckily see one in the wild for a decent price or something in the future
Yooooww! You’re ‘Infomercials’ are gold! 🏆The pocket content was great too.
Wulff‘s videos are the only one where I make it an effort to watch the ad spot because they are just so darn funny. This one definitely didn’t disappoint.
Since my original GBA went toast, I backed up my old stuff to my Retroid, and it has felt absurdly legit...like someone combined with the best of a GBA, PS2, and GameCube into this little fun brick. I had modded my PSP to have that role for ages, but this thing just brought back the nostalgia hard for some reason.
"Someone"
That's StackSmashing. If someone would be the first to crack it, it's him, the myth, the legend.
It looks great in my display case where I leave it. Honestly, I still prefer to reach for my modded IPS actual Gameboys when I want to play Gameboy. Even though they're not 100% stock, they feel more like it.
From my brief reading on Reddit apparently the best hack happens when the first firmware release is made (as has been done with other Analogue products). And they recently announced it (first firmware update) incoming, maybe it's released now, it's been a month or so since I looked.
It's not out yet, it'll release some time in July, and it's anyone's guess when exactly, or even if most of the promised 1.1 features will make it into it.
@@RAHelllord Ah, okay. Thanks for posting the current status.
I hadn't kept up on it since I don't have one currently. Seems like there's one guy that always releases a jailbreak for V 1.1 and later. Can't recall the name at the moment.
Reason why I loved my analogue pocket paired with couple of everdrives...GB/GBC and GBA ...best combo ever
That infomercial was fucking hilarious.
I love that you made this video in a square-ish aspect ratio
That ad almost caused me problems. I genuinely thought my downstairs neighbours were thumping around.
I was so pumped for this thing, I was able to secure one from the very first wave.... But I havn't touched it more than 3 times since I got it. Sometimes it freezes when I swear I didnt even touch the cart in the back at all, but if you do touch the cart, or set the system down, thats gonna be a crash. It is seriously volatile and renders the sysyem useless to me, outside of the dock, which is great, but I really didn't buy it to plan on a tv /monitor. This is I neat solve for now that I might play with, but it looks tedious to hunt down the right versions of everything. I just want them to drop the "real" hack, ya know?
ive been playing mine a bit more than you (1st wave too) and i think it never froze on me where its annoying like that.. i hope you dont have a defected unit
My unit also does this. the slightest nudge will make it crash and i just went back to using my modded GBA instead.
Yeah, mine does it too. The unit is really sensitive. Any light nudge, it's heading for a crash. It's a bit disappointing to be fair.
@@Narque how slight is the nudge? i just tested mine and it doesnt do that.. i feel like you people got a defected unit
@@waverazor as much as putting it down on the table. rather annoying really.
I like the 4:3 videos, fits perfectly with the content. Nice to see youtubers trying something different
I literally love that you and Wood actually put time into the sponsored bits. Couple of the only channels I don't FF through :D
I still prefer an OG gameboy advance with ips screen. I still get the original hardware with a new modern look.
Yeah, the fpga stuff is really nice and so is the screen but everything else about the thing looks terrible to me. They chose the worse game boy form factor and then made it even worse by cramming the shoulder buttons either side of the cartridge slot. The cartridge slot itself is by all reports terrible with carts losing connection at the slightest nudge. And on top of all that they decided to add DRM to the thing despite not having any legal obligation too because apparently Disney and co's brainwashing stuck for them.
So ultimatly I'll wait until someone manages to cram the mister project or similar into an OG gba shell.
Uploading this at a 10:9 ratio like the og Gameboy is such a nice touch. Well done.
I didn't even notice that until I read your comment! How cool!
This is definitely more of a novel device. Like if you have this and the Steam deck. You're using the Steam deck. But it doesn't take away from the value of this device.
The form factor and aesthetics definitely make this a great product with a unique offering.
The big thing is hardware emulation, it is 1:1 with the original hardware. It is better than any type of software emulation like windows on the steam deck for example.
@@joeystar1043 Not entirely, it is still hardware emulation and has a few bugs and glitches that original hardware doesn't have, or that software emulation on windows and linux fixed ages ago. It is however hands down one of the most gorgeous ways to play them thanks to the screen and the latency is top notch at exactly what the original hardware does. Also the buttons and dpad feel like a good fit for the Gameboy as they're not clicky like modern ones.
AWSOME! Now I just need to find an Analogue pocket.....
Why not use a flash cart? I think the RZ flash was reported working. Plus you can play NES and Game Gears with that cart using a custom firmware.
Edit: 9:00 ez flash is the way to go. Sometimes you can find them for $40
EZ Flash NES emulation is kinda garbage but as a GBA flash cart aye, you can't go wrong.
The B1 code on your Mega Man means: Bad, Ver 1. In Neo-Geo & MAME the [B] either means [Bootleg] (hack) or is the 2nd file in a set. But, in the Game-Boy, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES & Sega libraries the [B1] is "Bad" #1. I uploaded some of these name-suffixes myself, so that you-all would know that the ROM copy sucks. Keep this in mind.
Kudos to you for using that aspect ratio
While this is great news, what I'm taking from this is unless you already have an Analogue Pocket, you're better off getting an Ayn Odin and emulating whatever you like for less coin. The longer the Analogue Pocket has been out, with its "case" which is a plastic clear box, and dodgy card slot that crashes at the faintest jolt, it feels like it was meant to be displayed and admired, instead of actually played. And that's not what I'm going for, you know?
The cart slot works fine and you actually have to try to move the carts enough to break connection. Unless you plan to play it on a busy train, around children / big pets you're going to be hard pressed to actually get it to knock out on accident. I have had my Pocket since the first wave, played through about a dozen games on it, and haven't had it break connection on me once in easily 100+ hours of combined play time. The only carts where I would be weary about are the bottom of the barrel repro carts that don't fit right, genuine carts and everdrives are a solid fit.
Really appreciate your coverage on the retro console scene, thanks dude
I pre-ordered mine last year and it is scheduled for early next year. But I'm gonna be so happy getting it and knowing I can patch and put all my favorite GBA/GB/GBC games on it with me at all times.
GBA games can not be patched to run via GB Studio, only GB and GBC games, also no RTC so if you plan on playing Silver, Gold, or Crystal you'll have to manually set the time ingame as you see fit.
For sure want to get an Analogue! Thanks for the GB Operator info!! Finally the years of keeping my old game boy games has FINALLY paid off XD
I love the aspect Ratio of the video. I like having my device in Portrait when on TH-cam. It satisfies a need I didn't know existed lol
Yeah I'm gonna wait until someone properly hacks this.
I think Bob might actually be on cocaine in that commercial lol
Anybody else notice that Bob has a game called "Booby Boys" on his Analogue Pocket? 👀
THATS SALESMANSHIP!!! WHERE CAN I SIGN THIS GUY UP TO SELL MY SHIT!?
Love the 4:3 aspect ratio. It feels like the first videos that were uploaded to TH-cam, but with major quality upgrades.
Megaman Zero is my all-time favorite GBA series. Good choice.
Its a free house for you. Got a pool in the back.
in the baaack
Everdrive is old news. If you want a GBA flash cart, these days you want an EZ Flash Omega. They're still a little pricey at $60, but the "Definitive Edition" version not only does real-time clock, but you can copy a rom to the NOR memory and flip a switch on the cart, and the cart will mimic that game to the point where it'll fool DS games that make use of GBA carts in slot B (gen 4 Pokemon pal park stuff for example). It's pretty nice, especially considering how expensive authentic GBA carts in general are getting. I went with a screen-modded GBA instead of getting an Analogue Pocket but it should be compatible if you use the latest firmware.
Thanks for making a video about it, I hope this technique will become more popular ;)
You just saved me 70$ papi chulo wolf 🐺!! Thanks! Waiting for my analog pocket October! Can’t wait.
That ad was incredible. I laughed out loud while in the bathroom, I know my wife is probably wondering what the hell I’m doing in here 😂
I wouldn't recommend GBA flash drives if you want to play GB or NES. It doesn't use the right resolution for GB games and lots of them don't run right, run slow etc. The Pocket is trying to push higher resolution than the power of it can output for the emulation it uses. My test case is only for the GBA Everdrive from krikzz so maybe others will work ok? But running Pokemon Yellow it is very quickly apparent in the opening cutscene Pikachu saying his own name is laggy af.
It's because the GBA carts are running an emulator on the cart to play those games. They aren't running natively on the Pocket like the GBA games. You need a separate GB specific cart to properly run GB games on the Pocket.
I got a gb x3 for gameboy and gameboy color games looks way nicer than when they were running off the gba everdrive
These aspects ratios drive me crazy 😅. Great video and ad Bob!
Seems like a hacked 3DS still is the best solution for handheld stuff
Finally, now I can put Morbius on the Analogue Pocket
“Excellent” - Mr Burns
Legit happy for this though because I should get mine by the end of the year 🙌
Hey Bob! Love your vids, but you might want to be aware there's some whistling coming from your mic. Might just be a bit too much laid onto the mastering/post-process. I don't know much about audio as I just edit video, but since I watch most of these with earbuds I picked up on it. Keep up the good work!
Dude, this isn't am Analogue Pocket hack. It's just romhacks (which we've had since Dec/Jan, btw) and a reminder that flash carts exist.
This. I swear I left the same comment shortly after he posted the video and it now has vanished.
I was kinda let down by this video, since the .pocket files workaround/"hack" has been a thing since the first units were delivered. Not a bad video, but with the title, I was expecting more.
I was previously interested in the Pocket to play some GBC and GBA carts I have, but seeing that you can do this has rekindled my interest.
SO… I just placed an order for the Pocket. For delivery in… 2023. Hope it’s worth the wait!
With the Ez Flash Omega Flashcard you can turn it in Sleepmode with a Buttoncombi
What is the combo? Can you do with Everdrive as well?
@@jamesb.6177 you can set the Combo on the menu. Don't know about the everdrive because I don't own it.
I came for the cinematography. I stayed for Bob ♥
"Billy Mays here!! Worry no more with Surf Shark!!!"
Man I got excited by this title only to find out it's the same shit that's been out since near release. Love your content, Bob, but not this video.
Idk why but I always love the thumbnails with more than 2 hands
I can't wait to be mine. I'm in Group B which is Q4 2022.
I'll probably just use my flash carts for loading roms.
I am on the wait list for the Pocket. It is supposed to ship next year. TBH I am cool with the wait. In the mean time I am just hunting for Physical carts of my nostalgic favorite old games to play. Though I wish I could find a pokemon fire red or Crystal cart I wouldn't have to take out a mortgage to buy.
you should really consider getting an everdrive if you want your wallet to not cry for help. buying pokemon games at this moment in the market is a huge investment. i dont think its worth the sacrifice when theres good options
Just buy a gameboy and ips screen same thing. Except it’s an official product and not made in China for $50
@@megami215 When looking at the cost of doing the mods I would want to get a machine of similar quality it come out to a similar price. That is assuming I don't botch the mod. I have a nice SP I can play my gameboy game on until I get it or I could play on my epilogue. In fact I keep Tetris DX plugged into my computer for when I am in the mood for a game.
Early commentators on this vid bruh drives me quirky
Thanks for not being bound by 16:9 Love your retro content!
GBA or GaBA SP(that you might have or can easily buy), Flash Cart, and a drop in IPS kit: is just as good if not better depending on if you like the retro aesthetic over the minimalist Pocket look.
This definitely makes it more enticing!
Kinda wish they went the Polymega route and let you rip your carts into Pocket format but not let you install roms yourself.
When it's hacked we'll have all 8 and 16 bit cores running. Not just gameboy games. Then it's worth it.
Love the Tim and Eric Infomercial vibes
I thought about getting one of these. But i stuck with the anbernic rg351v. And I love it 😍
Its a very pretty device, but its also pretty expensive, where as my r4 card for my 3ds xl was nearly 10 times cheaper, and does as much of what this thing does as I need. Also I get to play my stuff on official Nintendo hardware.
The 3DS is only fully real hardware for the 3DS, and partially the DS and GBA sort-of kind-of. It has to completely emulate any other Nintendo systems.
That's great to run emulated games, you do you. A lot of people like myself are collectors and want to play our GB/GBA physical collection on premium hardware like the Analogue Pocket.
@@RWL2012
retro GAMERS plays some of our collection through emulation on legit retro handheld and it feels great.
elitist pricey handheld clone HOARDER clowns keep on dreaming FPGA isnt an emulation, what a joke :)
@@NickDyers You know how FPGA works? It's emulating the hardware but it's extremely different from software emulating hardware. The hardware emulates the hardware. Placing the reverse engineered FPGA in the Analogue consoles in the same category as software emulators is almost like calling a board revision an emulated version of the original.
@@DanSutherland
It IS still an emulation, mimicking other original hardware to work, very basic definition of PROGRAMMABLE :)
marketing fpga as "NOT an emulation" to justify your premium price for a knockoff product isnt very nice, clown.
Ima subscribe just for this video. Thanks for the info! I was waiting for something like this too!
the aspect ratio on this video is funking on point Bob, I dont care what anyone says about your Silly Billy tendencies.
I don't really consider it a necessity to have everything all on one device. If I'm at home, I can swap games easily. If I'm not at home, it's pretty unlikely that I'll be playing more than one game while I'm away.
At this point, i am here mainly for the in show advertisements
Waiting into 2023 for mine. I bought it for the ability to play original carts like the old days but these days they want too much damn money for them. This method is definitely worth at least a try for me
Wulff Den? More like Goat Den
Are there any examples of GB/GBC/GBA games that are noticeably different under hardware emulation vs software? Software emulation is darn good these days, and the devices are a fraction of the cost.
Bob's sponsor commercial are freaking funny.
I like this aspect ratio, since I always watch my videos with my phone in portrait, so it just makes the video take up more of my screen.
EZ Flash Omega is another good flash cart. It comes with 2 covers that you can swap, so that you can make it flush with a ds lite instead of having it sticking out. I don't know how well that would fit a Analogue Pocket, because I don't have an Analogue Pocket. If anyone has both, I would be interested to know.
EZ Flash Omega is the jam for flash cart, in case anyone is looking to save quite a few bucks.
I see Bob's testing Surfshark's sponsor boundaries like TomsKa did once! xD
Wulff produced commercials don't miss.
It’s been great having your favorites readily available in gb studio.
Memories and libraries is coming soon as a beta. Should be fleshed out by the end of the year
That Noodle Kidoodle name drop brought me back lol.
Omggg i forgot how painful the first gen of flashcarts were. Its flasher used the db25 port (parallel/printer) and the memory was soldered in the flashcart. It could also be used to rip as well, all back in the win95/98 days. Even 1st gen gba flashers and carts were the same way.
As a business traveler I do take my pocket along with me I do it just like I did it back in the 90's with my original gameboy take a couple of games along the ride retro style
This should be a switch/deck/emulator channel the way things are going right now. Steam Deck and these little devices are gonna change everything… (and better iOS games? Impossible…)
Being fair, a Deck is kinda just running fancy Ubuntu, no need to specialize so much as almost everything running on a Pc will run on that thing
jesus fuck the banging in the ad...I thought it was real
You could buy a miyoo mini which is exactly the same form factor and plays every console all the way upto ps1 for only like $80.
Awesome, cannot wait to get my Pocket and do this (hopefully soon, whenever my batch of them ships).
You get a like for the way you sold surfshark today bro that's dope I love it especially the awkwardness at the beginning
@2:50 i am absolutely dead
