    What do you think of it? I know a lot of people end up playing ROMs on them anyway so I’ve really had trouble understanding all the hype

      I’m very happy with it. Most of the time I use roms on the SD card but the screen and original form factor are great for GB games. Certain games I use the cartridge for the display modes. The DMG filter is amazing, it even replicates the ghosting on the original system.

      If you’re a Gameboy enthusiast, you’ll love the device and the bonus of playing other systems and arcade games is icing on the cake. Otherwise, a cheaper handheld or a steam deck would be a better option.

        I’ve used a range of emulation focused handhelds in the past with the latest being the RG35XX but the filters of the Analogue Pocket do sound nice

      I got my pocket in the first wave of releases, but I held off on the dock until earlier this year. My dock arrived a few days ago and I love it.

      After using modded Gameboys and various emulators, the pocket is my favorite hand held. I still prefer the form factor ofa Gameboy micro, but the pocket’s screen can’t be beat.

      The dock is a nice way to top access those same games on a big screen, but I don’t think the pocket is the best option if you only want to play on a tv.
