Given all the modern "advances" put forth in all this new gear, it turns out that stuff like the Satellite and even the Acclaim Double Player lay it to waste in terms of usability. Standards really have slipped, when it comes to the durability and reliability of so many consumer products over the last few decades. It's insane that a modern controller built in a factory a year ago breaks and I'm replacing it with one built close to 30 years ago that still works flawlessly.

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 if you don't want to use/trust 8bit do product, what would be some solid choices for a wired and/or wireless controller for the docked Pocket? Currently I have an xbox 360 PC/USB pad, gravis pro classic usb controller that's basically a PS1 non-dual shock, and a wannabe gamecube controller that's usb based too. I do have one 8bitdo thing, junk came with my pce mini it's that 2.4g wireless pad they did in the PCE style with the 4 face buttons which awkward would work for GBA and under but not SNES due to lack of buttons if it were jailbroken to do more (not likely, other than maybe pce.)

If paying shipping on something to the shipper doesn't guarantee delivery to your door in Canada, then WTF is it even paying for? Seriously, I am both outraged and totally confused by this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I can't speak to import mail exploitation, that's something I just haven't seen personally, but it is utterly wrong to do a stunt like that above. I'm part of the club now, my package arrived just over a year after ordering it and a day early yesterday. I got it initially setup in the dock, then it went to hell because what they say, and what actual owners say are two different things trying to get a controller to work, or keep working. I have a PCE 8bitdo 2.4 controller and it would pick it up in the listing and never work, figured out it was seeing the dongle as a wired device which is dumb, it's a bug. I tried a raphnet adapter+snes ce pad, sees as wired with no input, same with a usb gravis gamepad pro(looks like ps1 pad), and the xbox 360 usb doesn't even detect or light up. The annoying thing, a cheap chinese gamecube usb copycat controller does, buttons aren't ideal but work but has a terribly short cord. Reaperman over on AA had a video of what works/doesn't as of some many months ago, and it seems most wireless just don't work or won't stay connected, but the SN30 Pro USB wired work perfect, so I ordered one, had the weather not been just evil I'd have driven out last night to grab one. Oh and I did try a switch pro controller. It's not friendly to get hooked up and usually won't using the steps to do it. When it does, it works excellent, but if you power off the pocket, it loses the setup and then it's a headache getting it back on or I'd just have done that. That garbage aside, actual use so far I just tried one GBA game I was in and it was really really nice. I really do like it, not the dock issues, but it works and gets the job better done than the SuperGB or GB Player can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I was just on the analogue store and Super NT is up for order again. Not sure if glitched or planned but yeah, grab one if you need one. edit: Mega SG too Edited December 23, 2022 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It has been up there for some time, both, because they're doing a supposed final run for anyone who wants one before having to pay a scalper hundreds more. Not sure what their end game is, but seems pretty rotten given the demand, unless they have plans. I mean there is analogue OS, maybe they intend a new model they can limit and control what works/not though their operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 After all the crap I talked I ended up ordering a pocket on eBay. I think I paid $300 which is fine by me since I don’t want to wait till whenever 2023. I’m a sucker for Analogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG16 was a driving factor since it seems clear the Duo isn’t really a priority. I’ll have to get a dock when they become more available as well.

I mostly just want the Polymega for the disc based features, but I figured I might as well get the other modules while I'm at it. That way if I like it, I have more options for emulation.
