Platform Overrides for the Analogue Pocket This repository contains image and JSON overrides I've used for various cores on the Analogue Pocket. You can use them, too, if you'd like. I've separated my overrides into two categories: one for cores, and a category that contains overrides for consoles, handhelds, and computers. There are two additional home directories, and that contain different images for regional variants. To use these images and overrides simply download a release, or download the entire repository and copy the contents of the Platforms folder into your own Platform folder. Or, pick and choose what you'd like to use. :) The directory includes the raw PNG files I used to make the images. I have them all laid out below so you can take a quick glance at them and determine whether or not your want to use them.

Thanks to ** mattpannella ** for release details, and ** terminator2k2 ** for the repo folder structure. • Note: There's an directory that contains previous or alternate overrides you can use with cores. • Note: There's also an directory that has overrides for cores that haven't been released yet. These are not included in releases. But, as new cores are completed, they will be moved into the appropriate directories and a new release will be made. If you'd like to get them now, download the whole repository and grab them that way. :) • Advisory: Putting too many* JSON files in the Platforms folder will caused some problems displaying cores in the openFPGA menu on the Pocket. It's recommended to only use JSON files for cores you have installed. • *too many = Please read the disclaimer below. • Also! If you happen to think my images are too graphical and gaudy, then **terminator2k2** has a repo with only logos: here . Disclaimer about Too Many Platforms When there are too many JSON files in the Platforms folder, the Pocket will begin having errors trying to display everything. terminator2k2 reached out to Analogue for clarification, and they responded saying that there's a hard limit of 255 platforms. However, t2k2 was able to hit this limit at 239 platforms, so the limit could vary depending on the length of your platform titles. As of November 2025, I have overrides for 196 cores (141 arcade and 55 home). It's still 40 away from t2k2 's limit, but when all of the Coin Op Collective and Boogerman cores are released on the Pocket, we should pass 239 cores/platforms. Analogue recommends to organize cores using categories to prevent this, but you still hit the limit. So, you have two options: • You can only install cores you actually use. Do you really need the Arcadia and Adventure Vision cores installed at all times? How often do you play Arcade Pong? • You can use combination cores. Several Arcade cores have been released that only load a single game, even though the architecture of the hardware is the same or near the same as another single Arcade core. As long as the video options are the same, you can make some alterations to the core's JSON setup and have the core run different RBF builds depending on the games you choose. There are already a few combination cores that Espiox and myself have put together. • Sega System 16 Combo combines System 16A and System 16B together. Details are here . • Williams 6809 Combo combines Defender, Robotron, and Joust 2 cores together. Details are here . • Capcom Z80 Combo combines 1942, 1943, Black Tiger, Commando, Exed Exes, Gun.Smoke, Section Z, Legendary Wings, Trojan, and Hyper Dyne Side Arms together. Details are here • Toaplan V2 Hardware Combo combines Garegga, Bakraid, Soccer Strike, Kingdom Grand Prix, Armed Police Batrider, Snow Bros 2, Truxton 2, Pipi & Bibs, and Teki Paki cores together. Details are here • Toaplan V1 Hardware Combo combines Demon's World and Zero Wing. Preliminary details are here Using all 5 of these Combo cores will save you 21 platforms. All of these combination cores are available through Pupdate , so you don't need to worry about any complicated instructions. There are two drawbacks for doing this that I can think of. 1. It can sometimes make finding specific games more difficult if you don't know where to look. 2. Automatic Pupdates are now dependent on the authors of these Combo cores updating their repos after the main repos are updated. I am not good at this. There's still time to figure things out, so there's no rush yet. Each future release of pocket-images will include the total number of platforms included, so you can make your own decisions. :)
