I own no GB carts bit might pick up Tetris, I've been playing the rom, obviously that runs on a core with different settings to the analogue os itself running the cart. Just interested to see what the video options look like on the screen really.

I find the dPad better than the tiny one on my GBA, but I guess that's not saying much.

I prefer the overall feel of the original Gameboy Pocket. That's still my favorite handheld for on the go. I bought a really clean one and modded a modern screen for it last yr. Perfect for flights and trips with an everdrive loaded up with favorites. Fits discretely in my pocket, and feels great in my hands.
The Analogue Pocket, on the other hand, I don't love the feel of the dpad and buttons. They're not terrible any means, but I think they probably cut some quality corners there. And the overall size is a bit much for me. I think I'll get the dock for it and use it as a rom machine on my TV for the most part. But I'm not a guy who takes the switch out and about either, and the Pocket isn't that big. Just my personal preferences. I don't care for big handhelds while traveling.

The d pad is just so floaty on mine it’s annoying as all get out. The diagonals are terrible they keep firing when they shouldn’t. I’ve tried the teflon tape fix and adjusted it multiple times. Looks like I have to choose between diagonals all the time or maybe half the time. Might just take it out completely and deal with them all the time, this partial diagonal crap makes it impossible to play any shooters

I’m sure they’ll make a better (more expensive one) soon enough.

On Twitter they're saying the NGPC FPGA core is good, but not 100% compatible. It also doesn't support sleep, etc. Still much further along than the mister core.

Obligatory Ninja Spirit clear. Got the ninja pit first try. It often takes a couple tries on emulators, cause the timing is very strict, so I guess that’s a good thing.
But if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for me to use this massive fuckin hucard as a sail to catch these cosmic winds and return to my homeworld.

I did make a couple of those metal Boxypixel gameboys and they're kinda neat, but for handhelds metal is really worse than the plastic. It makes it heavier (and the Pocket is already a little too heavy) and although it's theoretically more durable, it's much more prone to scratches and imperfections than plastic.
Oh god, I just realized that the dock is going to scratch the bottom of this up like crazy, people will be big mad.
