      And from the article, way lazier than I thought it would be. He’s just got an Analogue Pocket and he’s running it through the dock via HDMI. I have an analogue pocket and a Game Boy Camera.

Must be some cool, custom interface.” Nope, just a bunch of off the shelf hardware connected together. Meh.
