Yes, the new openFPGA feature meant that anybody could create a console core, allowing game ROMs to run right from the SD card slot.

Well, when we discovered that the analogue pocket can now run ROMs back in July 2022, it allowed for the Analogue version of retro game preservation… aka “emulation”, but we can’t call it that, because we legally have to pretend that we don’t support it. Analogue did not want to blatantly advertise emulation, like some of our favorite Chinese companies. The announcement and subsequent launch of the Analogue Pocket was met with both excitement and frustration.Įxcitement, because the console was freakin’ gorgeous and held massive potential for FPGA ’emulation’.įrustration because of pandemic related delays, supply shortages, and the fact that we were not able to play games from the SD card on launch.

Get your tech brains on guys we’re about to cover all analogue pocket openfpga cores available right now that we’ve discovered on our travels through the internet.
