SNES core released for OpenFPGA Analogue Pocket

RAHelllord's analogy is good here. Its basically like the Porsche of handhelds. Its not your only option, but its the expensive luxury alternative.

So question from a fpga newbie; How will this compare to mister in docked play? Is the pocket the superior choice?

Mister has more features. The only advantage the Pocket has is that its portable.

And the Pocket accepts real cartridges for all Game Boy generations, plus whatever adapters it gets (at least 3 have been announced, iirc)

I meant regarding the SNES core and OpenFPGA, and playing it docked vs what the Mister can do. Its basically a scaled down experience if handheld isnt a priority.

The Mister project makes a lot of sense to me, since its for tinkerers, and its these same tinkerers that will appreciate what the project brings to the table. Which is why a lot of them dont even use it for the HDMI out. They have it hooked up to a CRT or custom built arcade cabinets, and use SNAC adaptors to use the original controllers with zero latency.
Which BTW is funny since AFAIK, the Analogue Pocket's dock only uses USB ports for third party controllers, which will introduce lag, and now you're back to playing with a device that doesnt exactly have the same latancy as the original hardware. So arguably it might as well have been software emulation at that point.

The Analogue Pocket dock supports USB, Bluetooth and most importantly, 2.4G wireless controllers, which will introduce maybe half a frame of latency. It will soon support lag free analogue outputs for use on a CRT via their proprietary DAC if needed.
