Thinking about getting on the beefwagon and picking one of these up. They don’t seem to have the cartridge adapter set available currently, which is something I’d want. Can anyone with the full set of adapters confirm how well they work?
This seems to be a catch all handheld that plays real carts and emulators. Excuse my ignorance, I haven’t kept up with much of anything current.

It's actually a portable MiSTer. You only need the adapters if you really need the original carts.

As far as I know, the cart adapters have been delayed for several months except for I think GBA and GG.

The adapter sets, despite taking preorders like September of 2022, haven’t shipped yet. If you play regular GB games, I think it’s among the best ways to play. The display modes are incredible.
It plays all GB games (GB, GBC, and GBA) natively, btw. The GG adapter is shipping now, looks like.

I broke down and picked-up a dock for my pocket. I cannot get it to display on my TV. Anyone else have this problem?
Apparently it is very power sensitive so I am using the provided wire/brick/HDMI cable.
I switched outlets today, taking it off of the power strip and plugging it solo into a wall outlet and got a picture for a second and then nothing which further leads me to believe it is a power issue but I am stumped as to how to get a better connection than plugged directly into the wall outlet.
I also put it in the new developer video mode (latest software is installed) so it still displays on the pocket even while docked. This has been a helpful diagnostic because I can see the controller I have plugged into the Dock's USB controlling the menus. Still nada on the TV.
Google isn't giving me much recently in terms of other folks with this issue. Idea to resolve welcome.

They'll probably charge another $30 to ship a new one, plus a 50% restocking fee.

Of all the companies I don't want to deal with.
I have reached out to them, thanks for your feedback fellas, and they have responded very promptly already. Hopefully I get it resolved painlessly.

Yeah. The info I read while setting up my Pocket was that you have to use romz from the Darksoft set for the Neo core.

Like Ajax mentioned the adapter sets aren't released yet, other than the individual Game Gear adapter. I have no evidence of this but I suspect they probably have the adapters done but don't actually have cores ready for the new systems, delaying their release. Oops.
I have the Game Gear one. Functionally, it works great and the video modes look really good. Ergonomically, it makes an already fairly heavy handheld a bit larger, more awkward, and top heavy. I don't really like actually playing with it on there.

I'm using the darksoft romset, and the neo core is by mazamars312. Haven't had any issues running them. I just got all the cores at once from some download on github. Just about everything has worked fine. 7800 has had some flickering and haven't figured out pce cd, but every other core I've tried has worked fine.
Regarding the d-pad and overall feel of the buttons, it's all mediocre in my opinion. Not crazy about it. Great screen though. Haven't scratched mine, but I've been careful, and I've only been messing with it for a few days. Kern, they do sell a screen protector on their site. Gotta nickle and dime you.
