Analogue Pocket Update 2.0 Now Available

Probably important to say that screen filters are NOT included in this for FGPA. Its only the option has been made available for the developers of cores to add it. We’re still waiting for that to happen which could take a few more days/weeks.

@davidtobin100 the crt mode works for all cores I tested. So that is available from the start. The other ones are dependent on core developers to update their cores.

@schweinebrot Used the Trinitron filter on a few cores and it’s not a great experience on the pocket itself. Tbf it seems to be way better on the Dock. That said there’s a few cores that are having issues with the Trinitron filter acc to the subreddit. The Trinitron core also does not work on all cores unfortunately. Seen some great results from it on some of the Duo reviews so excited to try it on others.

Naturally when Analogue said it would be released before Christmas, I wondered if they meant 2024 judging by them never ever releasing anything on time (I'm under the impression the filters were originally due for August...).

That said, I'm not sure how much they can be commended for sneaking in a few hours under their own deadline.

Already download it, I didn't see any trinitron filter option though. I'm using fpga so I need to wait for the core update I guess.

If you use the pocket updater utility (other updaters might do this too), there's already a tweak that adds all the filters to the openfpga core json files and unlocks them for everything.

Glad this thing is finally nearing feature-completeness 2 years after release.

The only big thing remaining on my wish list would be the ability to remap buttons when playing cartridges. That's a bizarre omission to me given how easy it is to implement, and would be a great quality of life feature in games like Link's Awakening that constantly have you reaching for the start button despite having two face buttons and two triggers doing nothing in particular.

Still can’t remap controls for the built in cores.

I just want to be able to map start/select to the X/Y buttons when I’m running stuff from cartridges. That’s all I’ve ever wanted from this device.

Maybe one day, then it will finally be flawless.
