Requesting new platform: Neo Geo Pocket, specifically not Neo Geo Pocket Color
1 month ago

I don't see a ticket option for a new platform so asking here. We have black & white Game Boy and Game Boy Color and the distinction for black & white Neo Geo Pocket is more significant. If you're colorblind, Bust-a-Move Pocket aka Puzzle Bobble Mini may not seem playable, until you play it on the black and white model with special graphics!

For those lacking the console, I see the ares multi-console emulator allows you to force load a game with the Pocket bios by choosing Load -> SNK -> Neo Geo Pocket ... -> All. The Switch/Steam Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 compilations also allow booting in either black & white or color, though this game isn't on them.

Sorry I got to watermark to keep bot reposters at bay:

There used to be a support ticket type to request a new platforms. But since the site redesign, this has been removed. As apparently site staff can no longer directly add platforms to the site and need to ask the developers to edit the database directly lol

So I'd recommend for you to DM Meta on Discord and ask about it.

To request a platform:

You'd need to provide a long name, and short name.

I think you might also need to provide the date of the release date of it?

The short name is usually an abbreviation of the platform's full name. For example, PlayStation 4 to PS4

Thanks for the info! I guess the technology just isn't there. We got NGPC as a platform, Neo Geo Pocket shall be called...NGP.
