• [2.1] Analogizer support added by RndMnkIII and based on nullobject openfpga-tecmo Pocket port. See more in the Analogizer main repository: Analogizer [13/02/2025].

This Analogizer core use a configuration file to select Analogizer adapter options, not based on the Pocket's menu system. It is necessary to use Pupdate release >= 4.3.1 or run an external utility to generate such a file. Once generated, you must copy the analogizer.bin file to the /Assets/analogizer/common folder on the Pocket SD card. If this folder does not exist, you must create it. Pupdate does all actions automatically after running this tool. Inside Pupdate navigate to: Pocket Setup>Analogizer Config>Standard Analogizer Config, choose Analogizer settings and exit to save to file.

🔹 Tested with Sony PVM-9044D

The Analogizer interface allow to mix game inputs from compatible SNAC gamepads supported by Analogizer (DB15 Neogeo, NES, SNES, PCEngine, PSX) with Analogue Pocket built-in controls or from Dock USB or wireless supported controllers (Analogue support).

All Analogizer adapter versions (v1, v2 and v3) has a side slide switch labeled as 'A B' that must be configured based on the used SNAC game controller. For example for use it with PSX Dual Shock or Dual Shock 2 native gamepad you must position the switch lever on the B side position. For the remaining game controllers you must switch the lever on the A side position. Be careful when handling this switch. Use something with a thin, flat tip such as a precision screwdriver with a 2.0mm flat blade for example. Place the tip on the switch lever and press gently until it slides into the desired position:

     ---
   B|O  |A  A/B switch on position B
     ---   
     ---
   B|  O|A  A/B switch on position A
     ---

Analogizer is responsible for generating the correct encoded Y/C signals from RGB and outputs to R,G pins of VGA port. Also redirects the CSync to VGA HSync pin. The required external Y/C adapter that connects to VGA port is responsible for output Svideo o composite video signal using his internal electronics. Oficially only the Mike Simone Y/C adapters (active) designs will be supported by Analogizer and will be the ones to use.

Adapted to Analogizer by @RndMnkIII. Support native PCEngine/TurboGrafx-16 2btn, 6 btn gamepads and 5 player multitap using SNAC adapter and PC Engine cable harness (specific for Analogizer). Many thanks to Mike Simone for his great Y/C Encoder project.

For output Scandoubler SVGA video you need to select in Pocket's Menu: Analogizer Video Out > Scandoubler RGBHV.

For output Y/C video you need to select in Pocket's Menu: Analogizer Video Out > Y/C NTSC or Analogizer Video Out > Y/C NTSC,Pocket OFF.

You will need to connect an active VGA to Y/C adapter to the VGA port (the 5V power is provided by VGA pin 9). I'll recomend one of these (active):

• MiSTerAddons - Active Y/C Adapter
• MikeS11 Active VGA to Composite / S-Video
• Active VGA->Composite/S-Video adapter

Using another type of Y/C adapter not tested to be used with Analogizer will not receive official support.

I'll recomend also read this guide for MiSTer FPGA but can applied to Analogizer: MiSTer FPGA Documentation: Using Your CRT With MiSTer
