FunnyPlaying has released the FPGB Mini, a handheld barely bigger than a Game Boy cartridge that uses FPGA hardware to emulate Game Boy games with near-perfect accuracy. It supports both physical cartridges and ROMs via microSD, features a 2.98-inch 800x720 IPS screen, and runs on an 1800 mAh battery for four to six hours of play. The standard price is $89, though early units sold for $69.

FunnyPlaying has released the FPGB Mini, a compact FPGA-based handheld that plays original Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges as well as ROMs from a microSD card. Priced at $69.99 for its first limited batch of 20 units, it undercuts the $239.99 Analogue Pocket significantly, though it lacks support for GBA or Game Gear cartridges.

Analogue's FPGA-based N64 remake, the Analogue 3D, outputs video at up to 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, but the original games it plays were rendered natively at far lower resolutions, typically around 320 x 240 and occasionally up to 640 x 480. The console upscales and cleans up that old output—removing blur, distance fog, and choppy frame rates—rather than generating new high-resolution textures or geometry.
