Ordered as quick as I could and still Group B. I expected that though, so not too disappointed - gives me time to get my old Game Gear collection out of storage and what not anyway. Christmas 2022 will be a good one..!
Group B, #992xx. Amazing what ordering in the first 10 minutes won't get you. A merry Christmas 2022 to all my B-bros.
I guess even if I order a dock and screen protector now they won't be too far behind.

I've seen someone who got group B with 90XXX. Might also depend on the colour of pocket. 90XXX seems to be the cutoff for black pockets at least.
Their stuff tends to get delayed it seems. I'm not counting on it till I see some shipping confirmations
I just got a black one and screen proector
I wonder if accessories effect it too
You and me both, and I'm ~1500 orders ahead of you... brutal man...
Order #115XXX and got group B Q4 2022. Makes my decision to cancel it easier to make. After watching some reviews, and most of them praising the device, I don't understand why it's not seen as a bigger issue that the game cartridge can be a bit loose and may cause the game to freeze for just setting down the console on a table.
I think I'll wait for a revision that fixes that and hopefully allows for dumping the cartridge directly to the device.

There's no email, just open your order page from the confirmation email.
No email, you just click the order summary link in the email they already sent
Trying to decide if I am gonna cancel or not. Q4 2022 is so far away, not sure how I am gonna feel about it by then
Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat right now, tbh. If we can't guarantee we'll even have them by this time next year.
The Steam Deck will be here long before that, and there's a good chance I will have moved on by then. Maybe I should cancel and put the money towards a MiSTer.
I've seen a couple reports of similar thing happening. A couple questions:
Was the cart removed before you noticed the save being wiped?
If you removed the the cart did you remove it while in sleep mode or did the cart get unseated and then reseated?
Were you returning to play from sleep mode or was the powered all the way off?
I'm curious about any details you can provide.
Personally I had my gameboy camera save wiped, when I pulled the cartridge out while the pocket was in sleep mode. Which isn't a shock as this kind of thing could happen if you pulled a game out while the unit was on in an original gameboy.
The thought of a pokemon save being wiped is enough to give me nightmares. Thankfully I have backups of all my saves ripped from my carts. Hopefully the memories feature in 1.1 will provide a workaround for this issue by allowing us to make lots of save states for each title.
One thing I've noticed is that the plastic on the back of the screen is pretty fragile. You'll definitely get some light scratching just taking carts in and out. I've been handling gingerly the entire time.
A few .pocket versions of GB Studio games have started showing up on itch.io
TinkerCore
Dog's Muck Island
Virtual BMO
Petris
I also just released a .pocket version of my homebrew game El Dueloroso (which is not a GB Studio, but a game made with GBDK).
I can't test it since I don't have an Analogue Pocket, so I would be grateful if someone could confirm it works :)
El Dueloroso
Group B here. 100xxx+ Annoyed though because I had my order in within a minute or so. Just took forever for them to process my payment and I sat in a virtual line for minutes to checkout. Oh well. Hopefully the software will be more robust by the time I get mine.

Don't have mine yet but will give it a spin when I can. Dig the Wild Gunman aesthetic.I also just released a .pocket version of my homebrew game El Dueloroso (which is not a GB Studio, but a game made with GBDK).

El Dueloroso
I've come to the realization that if I plan to use this thing to play lots of games its going to get scuffed up. At first I wanted to keep it pristine but there's only so much we can do with how soft the plastic is. When it's all said and done my pocket is going to show signs of having been enjoyed thoroughly.
Hey, enough of them cancel, maybe you end up in Group B. Maybe.
