DESCRIPTION ▼
Hot on the heels of Analogue's recent OpenFPGA update - it's been another busy week for the Analogue Pocket with the mysterious spiritualized1997 releasing more cores, major updates to the NEO•GEO core and some interesting developments in the MiSTer community...
Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System and Sega SG-1000

▸ Three new cores for the Sega Game Gear, Master System, and SG-1000
▸ Joins the previous 2 cores - Game Boy Color & Game Boy Advance
▸ Full compatibility with their game libraries and all of Analogue's memories (save states) system
▸ What's missing are the special display modes that seem to be coming in the future
NEO•GEO update
▸ Credit: Kiwi-dev Mazamars312 (porting to Pocket), Furrtek (Neo Geo core), Jotego (sound), Jorge Cwik (CPU), sorg (special chips), whole MiSTer team
▸ Update to Neo Geo core alpha build v0.60
▸ Compatibility update and bug fixes with most games working properly now with sound and graphics
▸ Overall QoL updates with auto loading for roms
▸ Roadmap for future updates
▸ Likely in the next release: Full game compatibility (certain larger rom sizes won't work)
▸ Backlog: Save states / memories, hopefully sleep mode
▸ What is it: Arcade multi-board system and 1:1 home console. Retailed at US$650, it wasn't released in Australia and for good reason, in today's money it would be 1680 dollarydoos

Jotego
▸ MiSTer core contributor and most famous for his CPS2 core (eg Marvel vs Capcom, SF Alpha series, etc) looks like after all the back-and-forth is likely to port his cores to the Analogue Pocket
▸ Previously he put a poll on his patreon whether he should port the MiSTer cores to the pocket and it just lost for Analogue Pocket fans
▸ Despite the losing poll he has proceeded to explore porting cores with the hope to uplift the patreon numbers and hire a fulltime engineer
▸ In terms of what this could mean for the pocket
▸ Porting of the CPS1/1.5/2 cores and other early arcade cores like Ghosts'n Goblins, 1943, etc
▸ Potentially providing the wider community with information about how to port to the Analogue Pocket opening the door for most of the cores on the MiSTer to come to the Pocket
