Here is the PC Engine CD core for the Analogue Pocket. The below info is straight from their github page.

=============================================
"PC Engine CD for Analogue Pocket
Ported from the core originally developed by Gregory Estrade and heavily modified by @srg320 and @greyrogue. Then this was ported over to the Pocket by Agg233 . Core icon based on TG-16 icon by spiritualized1997. Latest upstream available at https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/TurboGrafx16_MiSTer

Please report any issues encountered to this repo. Most likely any problems are a result of my port, not the original core. Issues will be upstreamed as necessary.

Important Notices For running this core
Please do read all of these as there is some special things that need to happen to get the best experience with this core
Your SDcard needs to be formatted as an exFAT as we have found that FAT32 formatted SDcards have a lot of lag on them due to a bug in the APF firmware.(Analogue knows about this bug and is fixing this)
With Multi-BIN files you can only have 27 tracks as a maximum limit due to the limited data slots the APF can handle (So make sure you use single CUE/BIN Isos)
Only Cue/BIN ISO's can be used. CHR Iso's cannot be used as the compression is too much for the MPU I have designed (74mhz and 64Kbytes of ram is not enough for this).
Auto Updaters are your friends. Both @mattpannella and @Monkeymad2 have worked on setting up the JSON's for the CUE/BIN files for you. SO please send them the love needed for this.
The only missing part in this core is the SuperGrafx chip due to chip size. Will work on this next for this core to complete it."
