Honestly as a whole the retro gaming hardware community is amazing. I'm part of one that's focuses on gameboys, and one member reverse engineered the firmware for a cartridge flasher because the main one from the manufacturer is so bad. now we have a new flasher and less buggy firmware.
I can't wait to see what we do to the Pocket.
