r/AnaloguePocket

I just bought a new analogue pocket and I was reading a couple of old posts about the loss of save data on original cartridges and it has me worried. I have EXTENSIVE decade old progress on multiple Pokemon cartridges for the gameboy advance and now that I’m reading about the use of sleep mode possibly ruining the save files themselves and or the real time clock functionality I’m a bit off put from it. Has this truly been fixed in the latest firmware patches? Any advice would be appreciated thank you!

Wondering if anybody knows anything about this tech problem I’m having and what the solution might be:

My pocket slipped off the edge of my couch and hit my hardwood floor. No obvious damage, but now it refuses to play ANY game, giving a “bad header” error for GBA and a plain “error” for GB or GBC.

Is a fixable problem or am I screwed???

They are two very different devices, but have a lot in common. I own a Retroid Pocket Classic, but I would like to hear from people who own both how the compare.

Anyone with both devices?

So I have a batch 2 Analogue Pocket and the shell has a crack near the screen. Do Analogue offer replacement shells?

I've spent a few weeks working on this frantic action game.

You can play on the web, or download it to put on a flash cart, or play on one of the 100s of handheld emulators that are around now.

If you have any questions, thoughts or feedback, please let me know. I don't mind criticism, especially if you are following rule #1

I’m really enjoying these PC cores, but every time I try to save the game in Diablo, it crashes. I have the 2.6.1 firmware, a Sandisk Ultra SD card formatted exFAT.

Totally separate, but the typical loaders can’t seem to get the MsPacMan games due to errors, and for whatever reason I can’t seem to get the DECO rom builder to make a .rom out of the mspacmnf.zip… am I missing something to this?

Thanks.

Hey guys, it's been a while. Just going to keep this short and sweet.

I've been inundated over the last couple of years with people asking for more moderation. I have purposefully been mostly hands-off, and only moderated severe violations (links to ROMs, severe user harrasment, etc.) but based on some of the stuff I've seen recently, things have gotten a bit worse, so I'm going to change things a bit.

Firstly, I will enforce moderation more strictly. All existing rules apply, but if I'm on the fence, instead of erring towards "let them figure it out", I'll just remove stuff.

Second, I've seen quite a few posts that are sus recently. Posts of pictures to scalpers or other sales of products, which are designed to look like you're complaining about the scalper, but really it's most likely a covert sales tactic. In the spirit of the original moderators "No sales, ever" rules, I will from now on remove any content that gets reported that has links or pictures to any sales platform like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. You can of course still share links and photos of the Analogue official website. In addition, don't be cheeky and post a photo of your hardware and then say "but I might sell it, idk". I have always let that slide, but since people have wanted more moderation, this is one change I am going to make.

Third, and this isn't new either, harassment rules apply to all your fellow active Reddit users. Yes, even if that Reddit user is a public figure. Do not harass people.

Finally, I'm planning to bring on additional moderators in the near future since all the other mods besides me are now inactive.

Thanks, that's it. Feel free to leave your thoughts and your complaints below.

Adding cores and games to my new pocket. I got it second hand and someone had loaded a few on the SD card, but had never updated the firmware. I reformatted the card, updated to the latest firmware and I'm starting fresh. When I got it I found that pretty much every core only worked in the original display mode and Trinitron CRT.

Installing new cores with Pocketsync and I see a ton of them as supporting a huge array of display modes in pocketsync, but when I actually load them and load into a game I'm still only getting Original and the Trinitron CRT. I'm just using the analogue button + left/right to change them.

Is there a trick to getting more of the display modes to work? I realize some, like the original GB mode wouldn't exactly fit any games other than original GB games.

Heh guys. I plan on traveling with my pocket and I thought getting a hard case to put on it would be necessary. I already have a carrying case.

Are there any that you recommend and where to get them? The ones I find on Amazon have unfavorable reviews.

Thanks!

Edit: By case, I mean one that I can still comfortably play the pocket with
