I'm not sure how a 160x144 screen is "the best." Certainly, it is the same as the OG Game Boy and GB Color. The video suggests visible gaps between the pixels, as on the original. This must be fixed and not optional given the resolution. The Analogue Pocket, OTOH, has a 1600x1440 resolution, enabling optional pixel structure and even RGB sub-pixels. I'm not sure I'm understanding the hype here.

If you see what the replicated subpixel structure on an analogue pocket looks like up close you’ll understand - with the exception of original Game Boy which I’m happy with, GBC is FAR from accurate. But the screen is also small enough that most won’t notice, and it doesn’t quite bother me.
@ardentdrops
Ай бұрын
The original LCD was characterized by its multiple layers of glass creating reflections and has a kind of depth that can't be simulated. The gaps between the pixels are literally gaps and can't be perfectly replicated with a screen filter. Now, I'm not saying the older screen looks better, only that it has a distinct look that requires a bespoke replica to project. If you think that sounds dumb you're not alone but also you don't need to buy this product. Some folks actually prefer this, regardless of how you think of their tastes. IMO I think "the best" is an overstatement, but "the most authentic" is maybe more accurate.

This thing is a few years behind, must have been some delay in getting this to market. ~$70-$80 you can get a FPGA GBC by Funny Playing that does all this with a bigger screen and more display features. $20 more and you can get an Analogue Pocket which out of the box can do GB, GBC and GBA. With adapters, you can use carts/cards for Game Gear, Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, TG-16. Flash special firmware which is so easy to do, and I can play 19 different consoles, 14 different handhelds, 5 PCs (Amiga and C64) and hundreds of arcade games with hardware accuracy. $100 for a TV dock and I can play all this on TV with others with a wide range of BT and 2.4GHz controllers. Not trying to be a spokesman for Analogue here but seriously, no competition.

None of these options seem like scams. Just different options for different people and what they prioritize. I appreciate what they are doing with the LCD but I wish it was an OLED, a little larger and without bezels. They really need to nail every other area (hand feel, buttons, presses, accuracy) in order to make it the definitive mid tier option Gameboy replacement. Chromatic doesn’t have as many options or is as pretty as an Analogue Pocket, but preassembled and possibly better feeling than the AP or FPGBC. Still being battery compatible is cool. That d-pad needs to be the best modern DPad in order for me to play it over an AP or OLED GBC.

Like I said the Chromatic can still do that but it would need to excel at everything else (button actuation, d-pad feel, ergonomics, power consumption). However if I’m being real I see this ending up on a shelf if I give it to a casual as a gift (due to screen size/price). Unless the Chromatic really feels that much better or I give it to someone young as their first console.

I am going to buy this BECAUSE of the native display, the scratch resistant design. AND because it can run on standard aa batteries for a good long while. Rechargable batteries quickly became mandatory for people with their laziness for taking 10 seconds to pop in a couple of fresh batteries. So you would rather want to play your game but the battery is dead so will just wait 2 hours to charge until your machine is ready for YOU to play it? Don't get that and never did. Having a 4 pack of rechargable aa's will do the trick as well. And you will always know you can turn it on with plenty of juice every time. And the color matching koss porta pros are just the icing on the cake.

I'm not sure how a 160x144 screen is "the best." Certainly, it is the same as the OG Game Boy and GB Color. The video suggests visible gaps between the pixels, as on the original. This must be fixed and not optional given the resolution. The Analogue Pocket, OTOH, has a 1600x1440 resolution, enabling optional pixel structure and even RGB sub-pixels. I'm not sure I'm understanding the hype here.

If you see what the replicated subpixel structure on an analogue pocket looks like up close you’ll understand - with the exception of original Game Boy which I’m happy with, GBC is FAR from accurate. But the screen is also small enough that most won’t notice, and it doesn’t quite bother me.
@ardentdrops
Ай бұрын
The original LCD was characterized by its multiple layers of glass creating reflections and has a kind of depth that can't be simulated. The gaps between the pixels are literally gaps and can't be perfectly replicated with a screen filter. Now, I'm not saying the older screen looks better, only that it has a distinct look that requires a bespoke replica to project. If you think that sounds dumb you're not alone but also you don't need to buy this product. Some folks actually prefer this, regardless of how you think of their tastes. IMO I think "the best" is an overstatement, but "the most authentic" is maybe more accurate.
I'm curios to see how this stands against the slightly more expensive Analogue Pocket as well as the FunnyPlaying FPGBC which is only half the price.

This thing is a few years behind, must have been some delay in getting this to market. ~$70-$80 you can get a FPGA GBC by Funny Playing that does all this with a bigger screen and more display features. $20 more and you can get an Analogue Pocket which out of the box can do GB, GBC and GBA. With adapters, you can use carts/cards for Game Gear, Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, TG-16. Flash special firmware which is so easy to do, and I can play 19 different consoles, 14 different handhelds, 5 PCs (Amiga and C64) and hundreds of arcade games with hardware accuracy. $100 for a TV dock and I can play all this on TV with others with a wide range of BT and 2.4GHz controllers.

For GBC games it will be - you’re getting the true subpixel structure behind each pixel, which Analogue doesn’t implement despite the high ppi of the display. I’ll need to upload some photos. This new device is promising better colour accuracy, too, though Analogue did push an update last year to improve its “original” filters.
I am going to buy this BECAUSE of the native display, the scratch resistant design. AND because it can run on standard aa batteries for a good long while. Rechargable batteries quickly became mandatory for people with their laziness for taking 10 seconds to pop in a couple of fresh batteries. So you would rather want to play your game but the battery is dead so will just wait 2 hours to charge until your machine is ready for YOU to play it? Don't get that and never did. Having a 4 pack of rechargable aa's will do the trick as well. And you will always know you can turn it on with plenty of juice every time. And the color matching koss porta pros are just the icing on the cake.
