Analogue Pocket

About this device
The Analogue Pocket is a premium FPGA handheld that plays original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges on a stunning high resolution screen. Cartridge adapters and openFPGA cores expand it far beyond Nintendo handhelds.
The Analogue Pocket is the finest way to play original cartridges. Instead of software emulation, it uses FPGA hardware to behave like the real thing, so Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance carts run with accuracy and low latency on a jaw dropping high resolution screen. Cartridge adapters and the huge openFPGA community extend it to many more systems, and an optional dock adds TV output. It is a premium, focused device for collectors and purists. If you own real carts and care about doing them justice, nothing else feels quite like the Pocket.
