This is a big deal! The Analogue Pocket

Sometimes you just want to go back and play those retro games. The Analogue Pocket represents the pinnacle of just how far the modded community has come with taking the original Game Boy and infusing modern technology to make the experience awesome. Before we get into that, it’s important to recognize each of the iterations that led to its release, so let’s get started with modded iterations to the Game Boy.

That’s right, an original Game Boy with a backlit screen was what really popularized the modding culture. The GB Boy for example, is a good example of a hardware clone that actually felt fun to play. The d pad and buttons felt good, and for the price, it was an easy way to get a color, backlit screen. The only drawback of the GB Boy was the screen aspect ratio, it stretched the original games which is a minor gripe considering you didn’t have to do any mods yourself. Emulation wasn’t very big at the time, and if you wanted to get an original Game Boy and cram a raspberry pi into it you could, but it was time consuming. A good solution back then, was the Bitt Boy, a small software emulator that came ready to go. While I don’t endorse emulators, the Bitt Boy is a cheap way to maybe check out some titles before buying them. The AGS-101 mod is what really attracted me. Essentially, you were taking the best available screen (from the AGS-101 Advance SP) and placing into an original Game Boy Advance. The benefit of this mod is that it’s very easy to do. Over time, IPS screens became the gold standard, and if you thought the AGS-101 was good, you need to look into the IPS screen mod. So, circling back to the original Game Boy, the best mod was to now install an IPS screen to play the original titles, on the original form factor, with a beautiful display. If you are concerns about modding an original Game Boy, keep in mind that you can always buy a cheap shell so that you don’t wreck your original hardware. In 2022, what is the best way to play Game Boy games? The Analogue Pocket. What they have accomplished something spectacular here. As a hardware clone, not software emulation, when you play the Analogue Pocket, the games run as originally intended. On top of that, you have a gorgeous screen that uses the same scale as the original Game Boy! No more black bars like on the Advance, with the Pocket you get a nice full screen experience that looks razor sharp. The button feel is on point also, very well thought out. Everything except the start select buttons, which have the home button sandwiched in between. For example, pressing A+B+START+SELECT is a hard reset, but on the Pocket, you can’t do that without hitting the home button. But with save states now incorporated, I guess you don’t really need that. So what is the Analogue Pocket performance like? Understated. With 2 FPGA chips this hand held is more that capable of running Game Boy and Advance titles. What’s more interesting is the chip tuning abilities. This processing power opens the door for entirely different music creation scene, but it’s not why I have it so I won’t go on about that. What is more interesting to me is the Analogue’s Pocket future potential. For example, why is there 4 buttons instead of 2? Game Boy and Advance games don’t require more than 2 buttons so it show me that their thinking about what gaming community. Another thing to mention is the Analogue Dock. It’s easy to set up and once you place the Pocket Down, it can display up to 1080 HD via HDMI cable. It also charges the internal battery. The only drawback, you can’t tweak your display settings to customize the look of the game on your TV. Right now, it’s just plug and play. Speaking of playing the Analogue Pocket on your TV, you should check out 8BitDo and the wide range of wireless controllers you can get. The Analogue Pocket is bittersweet for me. It marks the end of the chase for the perfect Game Boy. If you are just getting into modding, or you are wondering how you can play these original Game Boy titles with better quality, the Analogue Pocket is kind of a bargain at $220 Thanks for watching!
