These look great! But I am pretty irritated about DAC support for the Pocket (and Duo) still not being available 😔

I'm kinda torn on this. On one hand, it looks totally sick, I love the look/feel of aluminum and I love my Nt mini Noir. But being handheld kinda makes this more awkward? The weight and feel of the aluminum might be strange. But more than anything else, I'm just really unhappy about the DAC support for the Pocket. It's so long overdue. I'm unhappy with the showing of Analogue's priorities here.
Pocket and Pocket Adapter Set will be restocked on April 5th, 8am PDT!
No indication about what color(s) will be available, but I'd definitely assume it to be only just black and white.

I don't have a Duo, but this probably helps? Is it known to have some noise issues?

Looks great! Honestly I'm a bit surprised to see this, as I wasn't sure if we would, given the Duo is a pretty different console than many of Analogue's previous releases.
And be sure to check out the main GitHub page itself too: https://github.com/analoguejb/Analogue-Duo-JB
Analogue Pocket firmware 2.1 released!
Looks like some nice bug fixes and things, but no DAC support yet :(
Interestingly, I haven't seen any tweet about this yet 🤔
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good new year 😄
Analogue Pocket firmware 2.0 released!
Now I just want DAC support!
Also, here's the link to their tweet announcing this new release: https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1738930789532811436
Analogue Duo firmware 1.1b released!
Duo owners, you might want to keep a close eye on firmware releases for the next few months, it looks like there are still a good amount of fixes and things coming quickly.
My Life in Gaming posts new video on the Analogue Duo!
Excited to watch this! (But, honestly I did not preorder a Duo...)
What TimeWalker said is correct, but just to provide direct links:
Analogue Pocket firmware 1.2 released!
Looks like some good fixes and updates!
I'm really hoping to see DAC support soon though 🥺
Yeah I mean I think it's great, if you wanna play any of the games that your Pocket plays, just on your TV, and you maybe already have one of the supported controllers, I think it's perfect. Especially if you don't already have a GameCube + Gameboy Player.
However at the end of the day, that's what it does, it let's you play those games on your tv. So I don't think there's much of a "wow" factor, which is totally fine. I wish it was like, just a tiny bit cheaper, and had DAC support, but still I'm happy with it.
Thanks for posting!
I think the main thing I'm looking forward to are those new Pocket OS updates 👀 Kinda begging to finally get DAC support, which appears to be missing here 😭 Also I have a white Pocket so would've loved to have gotten a white dock too, but eh it's okay, the black one is totally good.
Anyone here have a Duo on preorder? I passed on it too, but I'm kinda wondering if I'm gonna get fomo (probably... 😅)
Analogue announces new line of colored Pockets!
I like them all 🤔🤔🤔
Here are some reviews of the RetroUSB AVS:
quick reminder that the closest Nt mini alternative, the RetroUSB AVS, is currently in stock and available to purchase
Hello,
While the RetroUSB AVS is not a true 1:1 replacement for the Nt mini, it is the closest thing that is currently readily available. It has real cartridge slots, four controller ports, and an HDMI out, just like the Nt mini.
With that being said, it is pretty different too. It doesn't have any analog-out functionality, and only supports 720p (no 1080p at all).
But regardless it is still a great device that has been well-received. I have a friend of mine who is very happy with his 😊 So if you are in the market for this kind of device, but don't want to pay scalper Nt mini level prices, this could be a good alternative for you.
Thank you! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Thank you for posting!!
And yes I'm very excited for this also. The 8bitdo pairing is really interesting too, I agree that very few modern joysticks have truly ever felt like a real good replacement for what the N64 had (while also overcoming the particularly unreliable joystick that the original one was...)
Can't wait to learn more 👀
I tried... 🥲
I got stuck on the "please don't refresh, you're in line to checkout" screen 😭
Assorted transparent Pockets announced!
Choosing a color is too hard... but I might be leaning towards orange...

Assorted transparent Pockets announced!
Looks amazing! But I can't decide which I want 🤔
Just another obvious racist dog whistle from just another right wing ghoul
Dang, yeah I keep trying to come back to Firefox and I think I could manage it outside of the things above.
Do you use Twitch? I'm interested in Firefox but twitch for me is pretty problematic, it seems to have a lot of issues with remaining connected to twitch chat.
Oh also twitch clips and twitch vods are both extremely broken in Firefox and have been that way for years 😓
Another big missing Firefox feature is the ability to just right click a page and translate. I use this all the time in chrome.
Also I really dislike how Firefox has this weird keyboard shortcut that I don't think can be disabled: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1425650 it's been a while since Ive looked around for this issue and it seems some people have a workaround so I should try that. But this bug is incredibly frustrating for me whenever I use Firefox.
For sure 😊 please let me know if you have any questions, hopefully I can help direct you further.
Super Nt firmware v5.3 released
Looks like a really minor firmware update, with just 1 change:
- Fixed periodic audio issue when using DAC
It doesn't appear that there is currently an updated Super Nt jailbreak release available.
