This plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color games and you have to build it yourself.

Analogue Pocket comes preassembled and plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance out of the box, plus Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, NGP Color, and Lynx with adapters. If jailbroken it plays pretty much anything from a card. And Analogue OS has a ton of options, what are you talking about?

I'm glad we have more FPGA consoles coming out; after all, the RetroUSB AES is better and cheaper in many ways than the Nt Mini. But Analogue also created the market and is constantly pushing the envelope on technology. Analogue builds good products and this Game Boy Color alternative sounds great too.

if jailbroken

Adding 3rd party emulators, including those that load from the SD card, is a fully supported feature and is very easy to do.

Also they’ve put some effort into making the graphics mimic the GB/GBA model of your choice but brighter with the LCD screen.
