I received mine a few months ago and haven’t been able to put it down since! Gorgeous device, abhorrent support and communication, lol.

If you’re a fellow Pocket Enjoyer, please, share what you’ve been playing recently.

    To my knowledge, it’s that the analogue devices are running the game in real hardware and not emulation, even if you run the files off a flash cart.

    That’s not worth it for many people, but if there’s some game that you can feel isn’t quite right on emulators, there’s a good chance the analogue can be the closest to the original experience. It’s definitely niche and priced accordingly.

      Analogue consoles still are emulating the old game consoles, but they do so in a different way than a normal software emulator. This emulates the individual circuits of the device on a special chip called a FPGA. This has the advantage of supporting much lower input latency (say with real controllers) and video latency (down to the cycle for CRTs). This means your lightgun will work on a FPGA NES with connected CRT, along with making the system “feel” better (due to the lower latency).
