you have a black and a white? I just have the black and the glow so far myself. I was actually trying to get the whole set today, but damn card got blocked after 3 transactions. Got all the colours I really wanted though.
Awesome. You probably got mine then. Enjoy having three of them I guess.

I recommend a program called Pocket Updater. You just keep it on the SD card, and when you run it on a PC it pulls down the latest versions of whatever cores you fancy trying, plus (for the specific arcade ones) the roms, in whatever arcane format OpenFPGA requires. Zero expertise required, just check/uncheck the cores you want.
I managed to get an orange in the last release. Time window is like 2 hours before they go out of stock. Join their newsletter.
Specifically GBA? If you want to get boxed copies I'd recommend going for the Japanese ones as the packaging is far nicer.
Personally I find the vertical layout more comfortable. Probably a lot of people do, hence all the damned vertical videos you see on social media.
I also have the black and white pockets, and this post gave me an idea. I might try swapping the shells and buttons to have a black & white pocket. I wonder how that would look…
It isn't quite the same ergonomics as the original Gameboy or Gameboy Color. I feel this is more comfortable than the GBA and cross between SP and GBC in terms of comfort.
If they could've just replicated the clamshell design and small form factor of the SP it would've been perfect IMO.
I was never huge on the SP’s design. It tended to hurt after a while. I feel the Pocket’s design is superior in almost every way. Only issue I woudl like fixed would be to make the screen flush with the case.
This I get. I had the original GBA (most comfortable) and the SP. The SP wasn't as comfortable but you put up with it because of the backlight, form factor and the protective clam shell design.
Where do you live? I got mine in the Netherlands and paid exactly the same. The import tax made me super angry. It’s too much money in total but hey, I played a cartridge of Burai Fighter.
yeah close to dutchland i can't seem to get pokemon pinball rumble to work.. currently using pocket operator to update all cores.. already own a mister and this is basically the same,.,
yeah it does.. well the everdrive gbc works..
Thanks for the info! Golden Sun on the go? Maybe soon.
Looks like your printer paper is no good, it's meant to be a lot darker than that. Haven't used mine in ages (decades) but I found one last roll - what are the chances of it still working after a quarter of a century?
it sure fucking is..
i can hear the screams of 10000 hipsters watching this shit
I had old new stock . Aftermarket is better too lazy to order thoLooks like your printer paper is no good, it's meant to be a lot darker than that. Haven't used mine in ages (decades) but I found one last roll - what are the chances of it still working after a quarter of a century?
Just tried mine for the first time this millennium, and it's even worse. The paper has a weird medicinal smell, so maybe it has gone off. Or maybe the printer is no longer putting out enough heat, in which case buying more paper would be a waste of money.
Hahah thanks for the update.Just tried mine for the first time this millennium, and it's even worse. The paper has a weird medicinal smell, so maybe it has gone off. Or maybe the printer is no longer putting out enough heat, in which case buying more paper would be a waste of money.
Ordered some!! Not 100% sure why, but I’m really enjoying my trip in the Analogue Pocket time machine.
Yeah same here will play around with the fpga cores some more later tonight
Turns out it was the paper that had gone bad. The aftermarket stuff works fine, although I need to adjust the contrast. It's thicker than the original paper, so the motor struggles to pull it through the printer when the lid is closed.Yeah same here will play around with the fpga cores some more later tonight
Dude it looks LIT !Turns out it was the paper that had gone bad. The aftermarket stuff works fine, although I need to adjust the contrast. It's thicker than the original paper, so the motor struggles to pull it through the printer when the lid is closed.
