@Vizimech3 жыл бұрын
It's simpler than you think! The link cable protocol is just standard SPI. You can communicate with a GameBoy with an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi over link cable. It would be tough (but still possible) to implement an emulated program communicating over an SPI port, but easier with an FPGA to achieve.

Afak, Revo consoles like the K101 Plus have link cables since years ago. Not all Revo models work with real GBA though. It was the best solution for most people until the Analog Pocket released, since just like the Pocket it's a clone console and it's not depending on emulation. And for the price, if you cannot afford an Analog one, you could get a Revo K101 Plus for a fifth of what Analog is asking. Is not as good, but is a nice second choice.

For anyone curious about FPGA technology, the best way I can describe it simply is "programmable hardware." Essentially, FPGA allows you to design a hardware system in a software environment and write that system to your FPGA, effectively replicating your design using actual hardware. The resulting hardware is much more efficient than software emulating its setup could ever be. If I had to take a stab at why this thing's got two FPGAs, I would assume they're configured in a cascading fashion where the first FPGA is actively manipulating the hardware setup of the second depending on which console needs to be replicated. While I've never heard of such a thing being done before, I would imagine it's possible and can see where it makes sense to do so in this scenario: the second FPGA would be more efficient if solely dedicated to replicating just one console at a time. All that being said, this second paragraph is just speculation, so take it with a grain of salt. In summary, the idea of using FPGA to create upgraded versions of classic consoles is genius because of their efficiency and flexibility when it comes to replicating hardware. Having never heard of Analogue before this video I'll definitely be doing more research into them and kicking myself for not coming up with something like this first.

FPGA: field-programmable gate array. Basically a programmable processor, which means you can make it behave however you want (within the chip's capabilities). It has 2 likely because one runs as the main processor, and the other as the video chip.

I'd say your explanation isn't completely correct, since any CPU matches that description. An FPGA doesn't just let you say stuff like "add values X and Y and store the result in Z", it lets you change the logic gates inside of it to become any chip you want. So you can tell it to become an NES, or a SNES, or whatever you want, and it can then run the code natively without any emulation

@@kandigloss6438 It is a different type of emulation, though, with some interesting differences in how things are done under the hood. Particularly the absence of a host OS and as a result running the code closer to the metal means that features like savestates are much harder to implement correctly, compared to how "easy" it is in software. Rewinding, which is basically ubiquitous in software emulators these days is nearly impossible on an FPGA. However, running closer to the metal also means FPGA emulation is generally "faster" than software emulation, resulting in lower latency from input to execution on the device. Both have their own pros and cons, and both very much have their place to shine, people should just be educated properly on the differences between the two. Neither option is magically superior, they're just tools and people have to decide which of the tools is best suited for their needs.

In case anyone doesn’t know an FPGA is a programmable gate/logic array that lets you essentially program, and then run, at a logic gate level any processor design(GA gate array). Unlike emulation which only interprets the old processor instructions onto the new one, an FPGA runs the program calls on bare mental at a gate level. This can be done on a general purpose CPU too but they are too slow for real-time. This still can have bugs, processor and chip design for the GBA, etc are not published and open source, but most of the older microchips have been completely reversed engineered so compatibility should be very good and patches can always be made. This needs 2 most likely to enable the clever features like save states where the second FPGA most likely injects data into the first one. These chips are quite expensive so the base cost on this is actually very reasonable IMO. Field Programmable Gate Arrays can be found in many relatively low production, low latency (video, audio, communications, etc) applications. Definitely going to try to pick one up if I can. Everything I’ve been looking for.

FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array. Basically, they represent a massive collection of individual logic gates that can be linked together to replicate other hardware. In other words, you can program an FPGA chip to actually physically BECOME another processor. This is different from emulation in the sense that emulation can only simulate other hardware, and sometimes inaccurately.

Unless they plan to make this stuff run more demanding tasks than retro 2d games, I don't really see a point in using FPGA. Emulators for these handhelds are pretty much 1 to 1 in terms of accuracy these days, and can be run on a toaster. It's overdesigned for what it's made for, and you won't be able to run any games past the GBA era since it would require at least an analog stick. It's like buying an rtx3090 to play n64 games.

However, optional adapters are sold for it which allow it to play GameGear, Lynx, and Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Color games with possibly more in the works. So, if you have a particularly large library of old portable cartridges and for more than just the Gameboy line, this may be good to replace aging systems to keep playing these games off the legitimate cartridges.

I would enjoy a GBA Device more, than a GBC Design. What pisses me off is that it requires real cartridges and don't allow backups. There are multiple reasons. First real cartridges do cost a lot, especially rarer ones. Everdrives or similar flashcards do cost some money and an import might be nessesary. Using and creating backups would be nice. First people don't need to carry around all games, they might want to play. Creating backups can be nice on multiple reasons. First one is obvious. I can create backups to maybe expand the archives, because I have a special card. I can save my saves. Maybe I want to change the battery and don't want to worry about it too much. It also allows to have multiple saves. The chip itself looks like the real shit. I just recently saw a video based on that chip in a retro station. The problem was, everything was out of stock and I wasn't able to make a picture on what I need to spend. It allowed more consoles and it run on Roms. I want something from both. I want a device that can run originals but I also want to play pirated games. Let's be real. There are some good games that wouldn't get Re released. Just look what Nintendo official gave people via several VCs and look on how big the library is. Also not everyone is around anymore. It's not like don't want to give them money. Buying used doesn't give the developers any money.

I'm very glad you made this review Elliot. Out of all the other reviewers I've seen today, yours actually made me want one. Plus you really know your stuff when it comes to Game Boys. I hope this gets more colours like the various Game Boy models had in the past, and hopefully Super Game Boy support. I look forward to part 2 of the review!

I mean the point of the review isn't to make you want one, it's just to give you an idea of what the product has to offer. If you're just looking for people to agree with your opinion then why even watch reviews

@@Matesozen Woah there, I never said the other reviewers aren't in line with my "opinion" on the Analogue Pocket. Everyone has their own opinion on it but the general consensus is that it's the best Game Boy alternative you can buy next to a modded GBA or hell even a AGS-101. If you watched MVG's review, he explicitly states that he's not a big fan of the form factor for GBA usage and would prefer using a modded unit over it but also acknowledges it still gets the job done. Also, umm, isn't that the point of a review? To see if you want to buy a product or not? Would you really want to buy a Soulja Boy without seeing how bad it is first?

Got mine 3 weeks ago, and to be honnest... I'm playing mainly SNES games on it. It's just incredible. The screen is gorgeous, absolutly no input lag, and every roms I tried worked perfectly. Playing perfect emulation (material emulation) SNES on a handled device is a dream come true. I'm in love with it. Things to improve: The plastic is not that high end, it could be better. The D-Cross is a challenge to master. The battery lasts around 4/5 hours maximum, it could have been better. More grids/effects on SNES emulation would be greatly appreciated (I hope it comes).
