I had a couple Wisdom Tree Game Boy games as a kid, never knew there was a port of Spiritual Warfare until recently. Excited to find a copy for a not ridiculous asking price!

The Analogue Pocket "Game Boy" is... an FPGA SNES? Is it just using borrowed assets?

I loved the concept of Super Game Boy but the wrong clock speed in it always annoyed me. Every game just sounded wrong. ๐Ÿ˜…

Something I forgot to mention, you can "fix" the speed in the Super Game Boy FPGA core by going into the core's settings.

The main Analogue Pocket FPGA core(s) for playing Game Boy cartridges doesn't recognize these Wisdom Tree carts as legit carts, as far as the system behaves - there's nothing in the slot.

There is an openFPGA core for the Super Game Boy, though, that will read original Game Boy games from the cart slot, and I've found that I can play Wisdom Tree carts if I use that openFPGA core.

But also... Yes - the AP can be a FPGA SNES that can read roms from the sdcard, and is also a lot of other systems by using openFPGA cores. Combined with the dock and some wireless controllers, it's a less powerful mister system - but a portable one!

If I remember correctly I think you can mod them to actually have the correct clock speed, but I'm not 100% certain on that.

You can, but you have to add the correct oscillator and associated passive components, or buy the Japan-only Super Game Boy 2 that fixed the issue.

One fun possibility is that if you get it running at the correct clock speed, you can also add the link port back in.
