I kinda panicked after the screen and battery issues with the FPGBC and, not wanting to waste the investment I'd already made in cartridges ... kinda maybe panic bought an IPS modded custom Kirby GBC.
Look at him!

I really like the FGGBC but the guy working on clone DE10-nanos is claiming to have a handheld MiSTer in the works so I guess I'm going to wait for that.
FPGBC has been mostly great, but my panel got screen cancer, and I had an issue with the battery connector not seating properly that required some surgery to get it to wake up again. I have a new panel on the way though, and once it's working properly again, it'll probably still be my main unit, thanks to the rechargeable battery.
I got notice there's another analogue pocket drop happening on Friday, but knowing Taki Udon himself is working on a MiSTer clone handheld kinda leads me to want to wait for that too. The one perk of the Analogue seems to be having the cartridge port really, and the amount they want for the adapters for other consoles is frankly kinda ridiculous.
Yeah the Analogue Pocket is slick and I wouldn't mind having one, but the way they approach FPGA emulation isn't really my thing. I've grown fond of MiSTer's weird hacky tinkery approach and I'm hoping whatever portable hardware we get from Taki Udon is faithful to that. It will almost surely be cheaper as well.
