TIL that there are a few DMG & CGB features that the Analogue Pocket does not support when running a .pocket file:

• Link cable does not work
• IR sensor is unreliable
• Real-Time Clocks are unreliable

Something to keep in mind when deciding on distribution format for your games!

According to Valentina/CoffeeBat this is due to different circuits being powered on in .pocket mode, and was made for legal reasons. (Same reason binary-coded decimal mode doesn't work on the NES, heh.)

There are more differences under the hood, but any GBDK-based toolchain, including GB Studio, will handle those automatically.
