Every single product on their website is sold out and instead of producing more Pockets they release an “extremely limited quantity” painted one.
They really want to be the Supreme™ of tech. Fuck this artificial scarcity bullshit. Stick with emulators.
These are stupidly expensive. I’ve seen kits that are 1/3 this price. Or, if you love spending money, machines that do more for the same price.
An $80 kit that has an FPGA, super-high resolution screen, to build a machine in a similarly portable form factor? Where exactly have you seen that?
You’re commenting on an FPGA handheld with OLED, not an AliExpress android clone. Where are you seeing kits for less?
I’ve seen one of these in person and the screen is super nice.
Is it worth buying if you don’t have any gameboy cartridges and would only use it for roms?
It wasn’t for a long time, but apparently they were able to crack it for emulation. That said, the whole appeal of the Analogue was for the genuine, native playback of physical cartridges. Emulation doesn’t seem to have basic features you’d expect from an emulation device like save states or fast-forward. If I were you, I’d go for something like the RG35xx or the Miyoo Mini +
From what I see it’s extremely limited experience compared to other devices
Lol what you can’t even buy a regular one XD what a joke
Yeah… I’m gonna stick with my Ayn Odin. Those prices are silly. Kudos to them for finding a market for it though I guess.
Thing costs as much as a ps5 where I live

Make a translucent atomic purple one you pricks

They made a range of translucent models that sold out in less than a minute and (surprise, surprise) seemingly all found their way on to eBay for three times the original price.
