The Analogue Pocket "Game Boy" is... an FPGA SNES? Is it just using borrowed assets?
I loved the concept of Super Game Boy but the wrong clock speed in it always annoyed me. Every game just sounded wrong. ๐
The main Analogue Pocket FPGA core(s) for playing Game Boy cartridges doesn't recognize these Wisdom Tree carts as legit carts, as far as the system behaves - there's nothing in the slot.
There is an openFPGA core for the Super Game Boy, though, that will read original Game Boy games from the cart slot, and I've found that I can play Wisdom Tree carts if I use that openFPGA core.
But also... Yes - the AP can be a FPGA SNES that can read roms from the sdcard, and is also a lot of other systems by using openFPGA cores. Combined with the dock and some wireless controllers, it's a less powerful mister system - but a portable one!
