An Analogue Pocket Review (in 2024)

[@FoxbatStargazer]

Frame Blending is an option buried in the display settings, that is what is making the ghosting. You can disable that directly instead of switching to the CRT filter. The CRT filter does not feature BFI, its just using fine scanlines and a shadow mask that darkens the picture. You can also play with the size/integer+ to reduce the black borders.

[@RetroGameCorps]

Thanks for the clarification! I did doubt the whole BFI thing due to the Pocket’s refresh rate, but I knew something neat was happening 😎

[@IAmTheGlovenor]

The fact they couldn't even ship it with firmware at least from this year says a lot about this company

[@TheLegendofTrk]

2022… This is extremely embarrassing

[@xXxLuismaxXx]

Pretty obvious they just put the old 2022 hardware in a new case

[@Rudgged]

Oh wow… it took me all of 5min to update my device… you people want to be handheld so badly

[@xXxLuismaxXx]

@@Rudgged My brother in Christ why do i have to put up with a 2022 firmware in a 2024 handheld?

[@august360]

​@@xXxLuismaxXxAgreed, specially since you'd be paying a crazy premium for this device.

[@rotationalbox588]

I just can’t get over the price here. I understand that this is a specialty device that does some cool stuff, but the value proposition is tough

[@EmblemParade]

@@rotationalbox588 I would add that if you care about precision, there are some very precise software emulators for various systems. They do sometimes require more high-end hardware to run properly, though.

[@klickeldiklick]

Shipping to EU Germany is about 50$, add a dock and it is about 60$, ad a link cable and it is 80$. Then add 19% taxes to the total costs (items + shipping) and some fee for collecting the tax and it is way above 320$ just for one regular Analogue Pocket. I don't mind the price tag of the Pocket, I think it is worth every penny, but after shipping and taxes it just hurts. I already have a Pocket but I'd like to have the cables and a dock. But the dock alone (without the Pocket!!) is 59.99$ in shipping! I think my next Analogue order will be the Analogue 3D or a landscape Analoge "GBA" Pocket.

[@NetflixForeign]

Yeah if they say they aren't overcharging on shipping and making a profit they are lying through their teeth. What is worse is if you live in a state that actually charges tax on shipping too.

[@Muench13]

Thanks Russ. Have always been a fan of your videos because you return to the hardware after an extended period with an updated perspective.

[@Watamel0n]

Finally a device I don't have the slightest itch to pull the trigger. I'm glad they are succesful, because the more competition the better it is for all of us, but I really don't understand the appeal at this high price point.

[@Fancy405]

Same, seeing as the fpgbc is about $90 but its DIY im sure they could lower the price on this. But seeing as most of their stuff is overpriced anyways i doubt it

[@NetflixForeign]

A perfect replication of the experience of original hardware.

[@NetflixForeign]

@@Fancy405 They have a NeoGeo and PSOne core option this is why it isn't lower along with pretty much all 32 bit cores and below. There are a number of CPS and CPS2 cores.

[@Fancy405]

@@NetflixForeign most retro handhelds have ps1 games playable it isn't that big of a positive. And I'm not saying it shouldn't be more expensive but definitely shouldn't be as expensive as it is right now while constantly being sold out. But as I said seeing as most of the stuff on their site is overpriced I'm 100% sure they could lower the price on this

[@NetflixForeign]

@@Fancy405 Yes but to be fair FPGA hardware just costs more than emulation handhelds so that is comparing apples to oranges. My biggest complaint is them trying to make money off shipping. It sucks when you want to buy a screen protector or the Game Gear cart adapter. The way they have shipping you almost feel obligated to buy a screen protector, Game Gear adapter and a few other things in one go which really sucks.

[@helbert_pina]

"Pocket Sync" on macOS works beautifully and has a very polished graphical user interface.

How to make an alalogue pocket a business expense

[@august360]

Become a KZbinr 😂

[@mikhaelcool7]

For nearly $300 just get a Retroid Pocket 2S or something that plays everything this does at full speed and still save some money.

[@StoneRiverMN]

While I LOVE the emulation devices, there is just something nostalgic and special about using physical cartridges. As a result I also love the Analogue Pocket very much.

[@OSW]

_Hardware_ emulation: OOH! No save states: oh :(

[@OSW]

Oh man, teeny 3.5" screen + gigantic bezels, 250 quid...I'm alright 😂 thanks for the vid Russ!

[@DoubbleDdragon]

Taki udon releases a FPGA Habdheld this year with a Full de10 Nano

[@tbhoh6801]

But will you be able to actually buy one?

[@MolotovMan1263]

Yep anyone in the market should hold off a few months and see how that plays out. FPGA gaming is at an interesting point right now

[@EsbenH]

I don’t think it can be using black frame insertion, as that would require it to run at 120hz to hit 60hz with every other frame being black.

[@RetroGameCorps]

Agreed, the only reason I had considered it is because Analogue doesn’t actually specify the device’s refresh rather, it just says “variable”. But I have a feeling that the screen isn’t 120Hz, since that’s quite a bit of overkill and if it was their marketing would probably be shouting about it 😂

[@rodieinpamant]

I'll grab some grapes

[@KeyGray]

I already have an analogue pocket, but I just couldn’t justify buying another one, no matter how much I like the yellow.

[@sirsmeghead]

Well, you can always just sell the old one after you buy the new one. That’s what I did with my white one after I bought a transparent blue one 😊

[@Khalmoon]

They keep making limited edition ones and not delivering software updates

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Another amazing video Russ. This channel got me through Covid. I got really sick and was in bed for about a week with Covid about 2 years ago and that’s when I discovered this channel. Throughout that week I went back and watched every single episode. Now every time I hear retro game corps intro music it reminds me of being sick and my bed lol!

[@JasonALMS2010]

For the love of god please upload more frequently.. your videos are the only time I remember to eat a snack and drink.. I’m famished

[@amazinglyshook]

Am i watching this on my morning commute? Yeah, I wanna do it.

[@SansINess53]

I think overall analogue should redesign their analogue pocket and make it so the cartiage slot more down so it will be comfy.

[@Mindartcreativity]

I think it‘s the way it is, because they had the adapters for the other cartridge systems in mind from the beginning. If the cartridge was any deeper the adapters wouldn‘t fit. It was a compromise. I personally never knocked a GB cart loose in my two Pockets.

[@SanGurung-q6v]

You can make the CRT Trinitron filter bigger by going to mode settings > size > Integer+. Works great for NES, SNES, GBA, etc. But not recommended for GB and GBC.

[@manuelrodriguez9972]

I love my white one, it looks so clean and beautiful.

[@smashpro1]

Another accessory I'd like to call attention to is called the Analogizer. It is like the dock, but allows you to connect to an analog video device like a CRT, and SNAC adapters that are also compatible with MiSTer to use original console controllers on it.

[@mattbtv]

Inadvertently a great promo for the Anbernic, haha. I have a 35XX (original) running MinUI and will grab that more often than the pocket.

[@LieutenantP1ckle]

My grape one was defective, still waiting for repairs

[@FiftyFive74]

I use a rumble kart as the dust cover for the cartridge slot. Might as well use it for something functional.

[@zackmezera]

I love my pocket, it’s my primary device. and even though I have some serious gripes (dac support, game list management and favorites…), it’s pretty cool in that the community makes it better about every week

[@FiftyFive74]

Other than the gray dev unit, the White is the only one with a non-black bezel. The black bezel on the other colors make it seem like the screen is pretty big until you turn it on.

[@julianp.2840]

I love mine, totally worth it if it's within your means. Even the dock is an incredible experience playing in 4k.

[@powerhound]

If the analogue pocket came in a horizontal form factor I’d be more inclined to buy it.

[@FiftyFive74]

I would sell mine for a horizontal version

[@asfdaew]

Emulation: Software that runs on one set of hardware emulating the behavior of another set of hardware. FPGA: Programmable hardware using hardware description languages. There is no code to execute. You literally define chips, pins, the wires that connect them, etc.

[@Teleportoro]

Russ, Don't sell the White. Keep it. It's the Only the Console Ever with White Bezel. That makes it a True Limited Edition once they are all gone

[@tylernaturalist6437]

I got mine last November when they dropped the gameboy pocket themed collection and it arrived to my house in NYC within 5 days. I use mine nearly everyday and prefer it over my own modded gameboys. It’s a fantastic device that revitalizes my gameboy collection. Its SNES open FPGA capabilities are great when paired with the dock. The adapters for game gear/lynx/ngp are great too. It’s a niche & luxury device that isn’t meant to be affordable, that’s what buying an Anbernic is for. I’m sure once cheap Chinese knockoffs come out it’ll be ways for the average person to buy an FPGA device like this.

[@flower5185]

I go back and forth on getting an Analogue Pocket. Honestly, I'm grateful it traditionally hasn't been in stock because I definitely would have impulsed purchased it earlier this year. Instead I bought an FPGBC and between that and my Miyoo Mini Plus - that might be all I need.

[@frooglepete]

Great video as always. I picked up my Analogue Pocket earlier this year and it got me hooked into FPGA so much that I agonised over whether to buy the dock, or just go ahead and build a Mister system. I did the latter. Don't be intimidated, it's a lot easier to build a Mister system from the ground up (took me about 10 minutes) than it looks. There's a LOT more systems on the full blown Mister as well. If you get the chance at some point Russ, I think you'd get a huge kick out of doing it.

[@fryke]

After all these years, I'm perfectly okay with their pricing. The hardware, performance and software support is basically perfect. I _wish_ the face buttons were bigger to more closely resemble DMG or at least GBC face buttons, but it's okay. It's not for everybody, but no current handheld really is. I often use the fpGBC (they now have a preassembled option, too, btw., but assembling it is easy enough), but sometimes just miss the analogue's display and switch to it again for a while. (I bought a device to read/write GB/GBC/GBA cartridges and love writing newer homebrew games to cheapo-chinese knockoff DMG-cartridges of Perfect Dark. Works beautifully.)

[@billford171]

love my pocket, have the black and clear one. ONLY issues I have: 1) the left/right triggers are really high up. I have large hands, and they are still very uncomfortable to reach. 2) More old-school arcade games. I know we will get them eventually, and i am thankful for all the work the developers do. But would love Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Centipede, Frogger, Time Pilot etc. Other than that, perfect handheld for an old gen-xer

[@rynozebz]

I have a launch black Pocket and picked up one of the Glow in the Dark versions a while back. I sold the Glow in the Dark version because I felt like the original had better, fuller sounding audio and the screen seemed to have better contrast. It felt like they used different components to me. The controls did feel tighter though, as you pointed out.

[@ScottWozniak]

I struggled between Kiwi and Dandelion. Went with Kiwi in the end because that's the color of the GBC I had back in the day, but they're both gorgeous. 🥝

[@Deshayzilla]

The dock supports certain 2.4 GHz 8bitdo controllers without needing a USB dongle. You do have to install a firmware from 8bitdo's website but it works great!

[@kumarp3074]

Hoping we get handhelds with DE10 Nano clone boards soon so Analogue finally has some competition in this space.

[@Kevin-xw1eo]

For the life of me I do NOT understand the hype of FPGA. Seems like you're paying 4x the price for a device that is more annoying to get set up and work with. Like sure maybe input latency is better and all that but we're talking about 20+ year old games. None of them were super latency sensitive like modern FPS games. And also those friggen bezels are giant for a device that came out within the last 10 years.

[@TarikA]

Russ: You can enable quick load in the settings.

[@kaibaborp396]

I just.....can't support this company in anyway man. Their pricing model is so dogshit and limited drops is such a scummy thing to do now a days that, I could care less about how great this thing is, there is just no way its worth the price. I would KILL to have the teal version of this, but even if it was at a huge discount I would absolutely pass. Knowing they still are part of this miserable practice when there is so much more innovation happening the in the handheld space its just such a bad look that unfortunately, many people with expendable money could care less about sigh

[@DoubbleDdragon]

Analogue and 8bitdo are the same Company ;)

[@cb4j]

It’s a collectors toy. Not an everyday carry. For that reason it’s still not justified to be charging that much for it. I am in agreement.

[@06z_]

​@@DoubbleDdragon one makes quality products for a great price, the other is Analogue

[@X862go]

💯

[@X862go]

​@DoubbleDdragon What 😂? Analogue, Inc. is the company that owns the Analogue Pocket, a handheld game console that was released in December 2021. Christopher Taber is the founder

[@DaveKatz1984]

Hey Russ, you may have skipped it do to a more complex setup, but I'm able to pair 2.4ghz 8BitDo directly to the dock without a dongle. Thanks for the great content!

[@rickywinterborn]

the pocket is so rad. aside from being amazing for portable, I dock mine with a CRT and 8bitdo arcade stick and a snes controller and its super legit as a console as well. they just need to add better button mapping for multiple controllers

[@darkooo94]

Anbernic should invest more in their products customization rather than releasing new products so often.

[@Ethan.1234]

If this was about $150 and not limited drops it would be a massive success

[@sirsmeghead]

To not be limited they need to mass produce it, and I’m guessing they don’t have the money to risk for that, hence the limited drops

[@joemarais7683]

This is a lot of money to piss away. The color matches the sentiment. Also calling this thing a “value” at $500, especially when you have to spend another $250 to use it the way you like to with an overpriced dock and specific fight stick, is just outrageous.

[@seanms35]

Completely forgot about Golden Axe! Holy crap! I played the heck out of that game as a kid.

[@seanms35]

Oh man! Also Altered Beast!

[@piero914]

It hasn't been talked about much as of late, but I'm also really looking forward to a review of the upcoming ayaneo pocket dmg. Feels like the hardware will be of similar quality to the Analogue Pocket, but with much more power, and a larger screen that's OLED. That price is rough though...

[@BuzzaB77]

I've been using FPGA hardware audio interfaces by RME for 20 years now and they are great. I think of it more as changeable hardware. normally chips have a fixed set of functions and cannot be changed. FPGA's are just hardware chips that can be changed. in my use case the audio interfaces by RME last over 10 years because they are not beholden to even usb standards, any time a new OS or connection standard is launched it can be updated to become compatible.

[@michaelbirmingham1203]

Just got one this week! This video dropped at the perfect time lol

[@Raphtor13]

Glad to see the update video on this. Honestly though, it's not a device for me. I only play GB, GBC and GBA games. The cart slot being easy to bump loose would drive me crazy. I am extremely happy with my Funny Playing FPGBC even though it only plays GB and GBC carts. It's not a sleek but it feels good in my hands and I got to put it together myself which makes more of a difference than I thought it would. For me the ideal device would play GB, GBC and GBA carts on an FPGA device that has a better cart slot than the Analogue and allows customization with shell and buttons with a more reasonable price point.

[@jinstinky501]

Looks like it should be called the digital pocket, imo.

[@etvow]

He keep mentioning the high price, but this costs as much as a descent restaurant meal for a family of 4 in Oahu Hawaii. Yes Hawaii's cost of leisure living is very high.

[@Fendera1]

Playing the Pocket docked with the Trinitron display mode on an OLED TV with BFI is the closest thing of an actual CRT, it's that good.

[@BasicObject]

I wonder if Analogue is going to release a more powerful OpenFPGA device. Would love something with a disc drive that can run many disc based hardware from the 90s and 2000s.

[@ambientNexus]

Nah. They're gonna keep banking on the pocket until someone else gives them some competition.

[@ArchieS.-wu2lx]

Great video!! Only thing I wish you would have touched on is the difference in DPAD from your older white pocket and the newest GBC color. You may not know this but that is a big point of contention in the analogue pocket groups on reddit, fb, etc. A lot of people full bore deny that it's ever been an issue. In my experience, I've had two pockets, one was a non-launch black model and the other was a silver. The Dpads are VASTLY different. You can't tell when playing simple input games like pokemon but playing metroid zero mission and doing some moves like the speed booster was much easier to perform on the silver model. The false diagonals was an issue on my black model and tbh i was happy to sell it and get the silver. Now, i am over the moon with this device!! i'm just wondering if all new models have updated dpads.

[@dersey9469]

Good morning retro nerds

[@interferingpuritan]

Not sure I'd agree with your point on Genesis and SNES at 34:05, the Pocket screen looks much better even if a little smaller. The RG45XX seems to be crushing the background colors, losing detail, and the purples look blue.

[@CatAkimbo]

You should look into mister more! The new boards are way cheaper and include all the hardware you’d need at this point. Things do move fast in that space, but it just keeps getting better and better. I really think hardware emulation is worth the hassle because I love playing games as they were originally intended to play and with super low input latency

[@Aygross]

Struggling why I would get this over 6 miyoo minis

[@smd1671]

While I can see its appeal. This is for serious collectors only. Can't justify that price. Especially as you would still have to buy old GB, GBC, GBA games, and they can command high costs too.

[@liamingram3100]

Some of us already have the games, this device is for them.

[@smd1671]

@liamingram3100 Absolutely. I have about 10 GBA carts. But I also own a GBA SP, GBA Micro, and a DS. I would imagine anyone who owns the games also has a device to play them on already.

[@NeoAoshi]

You are days late Russ. I've already purchased one and watched your older videos multiple times lol. I am ready for this video though! Playing Pokemon Prism on it is very fun, and looks great!

[@brandonthaxton8830]

Bought a Pocket and Super Nt from Analogue. Both are in my closet collecting dust. Cool products, but you can do more for less with other devices.

[@Spongegoose]

Something about Analogue's handling of the Pocket devices has left a sour taste in my mouth. Either way, the prices would push me towards something else.

[@BrianJones-wk8cx]

Great perspective, Russ, appreciate the benefit of your experience (down to the purchase path-a cut above!). As I watch I can’t help but drool-this is such a beautiful device, but I also look at my desk and see my Steam Deck, my GPD Win Max 2 (2024), my PS Vita, and my Retroid Pocket Flip, and I think I may have a serious problem. The thing is, which this may be indulgence, you start to find a niche for each device-the Deck is currently my machine for grinding on Final Fantasy II on SNES. My Win Max is my no-compromise PC gaming on the go machine. My Pocket Flip is the Android emulation playground/random bathroom distraction. My PS Vita is, well, it’s my Vita, does it need to be more? The point being-it’s so easy to critique the hobby as a superfluous and inane, thereby any given device opening itself up to the same critique, but the point of the hobby can be exemplified in an array of different ways, different handhelds, different devices-rediscovering the joy and nostalgia of our gaming addictions. I love the whole FPGA take on the hobby and want to dive in, earn my stripes as an authentic “hardware emulator,” but I’m not sure I’m there just yet. Love to see how you are using your device and how you are finding the experience, though, as always! Thank you for your work!

[@pudelz]

Yeah, I leave my gba everdrive in my pocket though I basically only use openfga for everything since it came out. I should totally print a dust cover... Also for a case, I use a Nintendo 2DS XL/New 3DS XL LL case as it fits the pocket perfectly and gives some extra room for cables.

[@drmoze]

great update. I haven't explored the arcade games on it. I'm gonna do that soon! Can you comment on the ArcAde play experience, such as lag/responsiveness compared to software emulators? The cart adapters are a great option, at least for me. Besides a pile of gb/GBC/gbA carts, I have 100+ tg16/PCE carts and about 70 lynx carts. It's great to play handheld systems on modern hardware. (I don't have any ngp carts, but the adapter was part of the package.)

[@handy7669]

Based on the comments, some people love them some people can’t get over the price haha. I love mine!

[@corylim7351]

Look as someone who grew up with a Gameboy, I'm going to tell you. The library of actually great games is very limited. Once the GBA came things picked up a lot however, for the insane price they're charging I'm not buying this. And is a 1440p screen really necessary for freaking Gameboy? Easily could have gotten a lower cost screen and saved everyone some money.

[@ryanmfrancis]

Gotcha be nice to justify any impulse handheld purchase knowing you can make a video about it. 😂

[@achimtillmann7043]

I love the overall Design of the Analogue Pocket, but what bothers me alot (besides the crazy Price) are the big bezels. I can't understand why we have to deal with those in 2024. Imagine there where super thin bezels like on the RG40xxv. For me The Price and the bezels are the two points that stop me from buying. I am going with the RG35xxSP. Just like the Analogue Pocket is the best Gameboy/GB Color that you can purchase, the RG35xxSP is the best GBASP that you can have. I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but for me its just the Question: How is the Design, how is the Price and what kind of Systems can i play with it. And by that, the Software Emulation always wins over the FGPA.

[@BuzzaB77]

they do look clean af tho

[@dremettbrown4583]

[@nmzamora]

I think it looks awesome, I have always wanted one, but I just can't justify the cost. The shipping cost seems like a FU on top of the already expensive device.

[@drifter2185]

Yeah it's pricey, but it's fantastic. Also: to play my original games on the Pocket is something else than software emulation.

[@riku55]

I wish there was a software emulation device of the same quality level as the Analogue Pocket. RetroAchievements is my main motivation to play all these old gamess, so any fpga device just isn't that interesting to me. I'm sticking with my RG35XX SP for the time being.

[@elunico13lu]

Im not the biggest fan of the dpad on the device. The rest is top notch, especially the screen. GB and GBC looks beautiful on it.

[@Purpletrident]

I can't justify paying all that for a gameboy. I want to play my GBA games again so bad on a handheld (I still have the GC GBA player, but I don't want to setup the GC just to play GBA games), but I want to use my actual cartridges. Not a big fan of just emulating, not that I have a problem with emulation, but it just feels wrong compared to an actual cartridge. Same reason I always go for physical games over digital, really. I will probably get the N64 Analogue for this reason. I wish they'd do another round of the Snes systems too, I missed out. I could just get an old GBA SP, but what I love from these is the HD screen. Maybe there's another competitive brand out there I missed that allows for physical media, but more competition in general would be great!

[@Brunoxid0]

Hey Russ, have you considered making some game recommendations videos? In a system base top 5 games or hidden gems.

[@ViBENo1]

the resolution for a 3.5' screen is a perfect example how to waste money/performance/pixels.

[@SylarSlash]

I love this device. Seems so premium. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to buy. Hopefully in the future.

[@marcwurth4448]

I am really glad that I am no sucker for special colours even though I two have limited editions. But I bought them with time, new for around 300€ both over eBay. Shipping is horrendously expensive, software features are promised and not delivered until now - like DAC. Also there are no spare parts like batteries....We should be grateful that spiritualized and budude2 developed such nice cores. Besides that I have really fun with the AP. Especially if you have a lot of original hardware. The display is superb, emulation on point and a nice Formfaktor in my opinion. The dock is nice but personally I don't use it that much I am more a handheld player ATM. Another point are the different cores if you are interested - besides Gameboy I only tried tamagotchi and Pokémonmini for nostalgia.. Would I buy them again ? Not really sure sometimes I grab my GBC OLED or modded GBA as well both deliver a really near experience

[@SanGurung-q6v]

Kinda regret not getting the dock. Shipping to the UK is still $60 :(

[@bethaapple2102]

One of irks me. Any handheld that has build in os don’t have auto update, or at least could download and install via their handheld without using external sdcard.

[@bearonguitar]

Russ, there is a way to display console cores in almost full screen with minimal bezels. When you select the CRT Trinitron display mode enter the mode settings, then size, and enable both "Integer+" and "Stretch CRT Width" options. This will nearly fill the screen entirely on the Pocket for all non-handheld cores and looks absolutely gorgeous for these systems. Then in the mode settings select "Fine Aperture Grille" and "Hard Edges" and you'll get the brightest and sharpest result with the CRT Trinitron display mode. Also you can disable "Frame Blending" on the Gameboy cores if you dislike the blur that it adds. Just note that some games require frame blending to be enabled, as some developers made clever use of the original screen in a way where flickering sprites would be displayed as being transparent because of how they used frame blending to achieve this effect. Personally I have grown up with systems like the Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Game Gear, and the Pocket absolutely nails these in their look and feel with the original display modes and optional frame blending, and even slows down in-game where the original systems would experience slow downs. The AP is like a perfect hardware copy of these systems with the benefit of having a larger backlit screen. What absolutely amazes me is how accurate the display modes are, it really feels like playing on the real systems, specifically the original blurry and desaturated Game Gear display mode totally blew me away when I saw it the first time, as it looks so incredibly accurate. In my opinion it's a great quality device, it fortunately works comfortably with my hands and I'll have to get two more eventually, one dedicated for traveling that I don't mind if it gets dinged up and one as a backup.

[@henryblazer20]

I wish I had your bankroll

[@Porkbeans1]

Honestly the pocket is really pretty to look at, but it feels super overpriced for what it can do. For the price, I could mod a real GBA and get a more powerful software emulator.

[@jakesmith5278]

Decent little device but way too expensive and still have a few short commings like bezel is unnecessary big and no thumb stick to play those fantastic arcade games. It 2 years old, it should have a revision by now. Wish there are other maker of FPGA device to compete with these guys.

[@NetflixForeign]

Any chance you might have ordered an extra screen protector?

[@QuiveringQuasar]

Does the 8Bitdo arcade stick also work on other Analogue consoles like the Super NT and Mega SG and Duo? Or does it only work with the Analogue Pocket?
