On my MiSTer, the PC Engine CD game saves are located in /media/fat/saves/TGFX16 (even though the games themselves are under /media/fat/games/TGFX16-CD - I think the problem is that the MiSTer core doesn't discriminate between CD and non-CD games when writing saves, so puts everything in the TGFX16 directory).

pocket-sync is only checking /media/fat/saves/TGFX16-CD on the MiSTer and so can't sync my PC Engine CD saves.

All other systems (including non-CD PC Engine games) get their saves synced fine.

I'm running pocket-sync v3.0.0 on a Windows 11 PC, and my MiSTer is up to date - MiSTer software v230223, Turbo Duo Core v23.02.24.

Just got this error message trying to view a platform image on windows

Describe the bug

Manually added the jtcps1 core and related files to my SD card. Then loaded Pocket Sync, selected "Platforms", then "jtcps1" then clicked on "Image Packs" (I didn't know what it would do) and it crashes with:

Platforms: jtcps1
options.signal must be AbortSignal

Retry lets me repeat the process.

If I don't click retry, the sidebar links don't work - it just keeps the error and changes Platforms: jtcps1 to Games: null, etc.

Came out of looking at this issue #59

First, many thanks for providing this wonderful tool. I wanted to suggest an enhancement to the core installation routine when installing a new core from a zip file (for example JT beta cores).

When dragging a zip file into the UI, the UI helpfully shows the contents and lets you pick what you want to extract to the SD card.

However, it does not appear to check the zip files folder layout to ensure it places the folders in the correct heirarchy on the destination SD card.
It makes the assumption that the ZIP file contains the Platforms, Assets, Cores and Presets folders are located at the root.

In some cases this may not be the case, see below example the JT beta core update zips - where the contents that need extracting the to pocket SD card are situated in the pocket subfolder:

When installing this zip via Pocket Sync, it leads to an invalid folder structure.
As a workaround, I have to recompress the contents of pocket into a separate archive.

It seems Pocket Sync is already checking ZIP file contents for things to exclude (like .MACOSX foider) - suggest adding a subroutine to make sure the folders are copied to the right location.

Bit confusing when it opens to an empty list.

Could instead display some text saying there aren't any required files.

No text/image is displayed inside pocket sync menu on mac 10.15.7 after pocket sync 2.2.1, just a grey color window.

2.2.1 and below works fine
2.3.0 + show nothing inside window

I think I was about to download one of the opengateware arcade cores, and perhaps this repo didn't have a release or tag (not 100% sure). But I think the error is cached and stuck that way, because if I relaunch the Pocket Sync v1.7.0 app, and connect to the same SD card, I can't switch between tabs or navigate away from the error afterwards. I'll try uninstalling / reinstalling, or connecting to a new SD card.

Some Pocket utilities use a .token file (if it exists) in the root of the SD Card. If you checked for that and added it to GitHub API calls it would unblock folks who are rate limited.

The cores seam not to have cheat codes. Please get them to add them.
Good thing save stats are in.

Please provide a native arm64 build for Apple Silicon macs :)

I use screenshots a lot (playing with my Gameboy Camera since I got the Analogue). It would be super nice to be able to select multiple screenshots and save them in just one go, instead of having to open each one.

Not sure what happens here, but it always does that no matter what version of the app I use.

Atari 2600 & ColecoVision games not being recognized within the UI.

The public cores are not in the core menu.

Pocletsync 2.0.1

I'm requesting a feature that would allow syncing the whole roms library with a local folder on the pc.

Ideally it would be possible to choose a different folder for each system but also a global folder could work, as long as the resulting folder structure is generic enough to be compatible with other emulators or syncing apps

Describe the bug
After installing and updating several cores, upon entering the openFPGA menu with 'Group openFPGA' selected, only the 'All' option will be viewable. Upon selecting 'All', all my cores are visible and usable, but if I back out from this menu, there are suddenly lots of different options labelled as each corresponding core's category (All, Arcade, Console, Console, Arcade etc). Selecting anything but 'All' can send the Pocket into a similar state that occurs if 'Resume Browser' is selected when the last viewed folder has been deleted (flashing white screen, only fixable by reboot).

Replication
Despite having had this occur to me twice, I am unsure exactly what steps there are to replicate this bug. All I've done between the two times this has happened to me is install new cores, update existing ones, and download files from the archive. In this specific case, I installed several of jotego's cores, some of the individual arcade cores such as Pooyan, and downloaded their respective files. Turning off 'Group openFPGA' shows no issues in the openFPGA browser, and I believe the last time this happened I just swapped to a backup of my SD card before using the app.

Expected behaviour
I expect the Group openFPGA function to work as normal.

When performing Flatpak updates, I get the following notice:

Info: runtime org.gnome.Platform branch 42 is end-of-life, with reason:
   The GNOME 42 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2023. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Info: applications using this runtime:
   io.github.neil_morrison44.pocket-sync

Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon

Get this when running:

pocket-sync: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the package libssl-dev installed which I thought should satisfy that dependency.

I've not been able to test yet, but this looks great.

I wanted to know if renaming a core (or specifically it's label) such as "genesis" to "mega drive" is supported and whether it'll stick if there's a core update?

I guess the same question to categories too, as I tend to rename Jotego's cores to "arcade" rather than what they have as "arcade compatible".

Cheers.

On my machine, the Pokemon Mini, Pong, and, Slap Fight cores get stuck when loading Cores details. These cores display well on the Platforms and Games pages, but the Cores details can't load when you click into them from there or when you visit the Cores page. Pokemon Mini and Pong were loaded manually, Slap Fight was loaded by Pocket Sync. I tried deleting all the related files for the Slap Fight core and allowing Pocket Sync to reinstall them, but received the same results. I've not had similar problems with any of the other cores - some of which were successfully set up by Pocket Sync.

Here are my system specs:

• Analogue Pocket - 1st Generation
• macOS - Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)
• Pocket Sync - Version 2.0.0 (20221224.040553)

Thank you for looking into this. If you need me to test anything else or provide additional information, just let me know.

wndrplnt.rom is not showing up...thanks

Hi!

Can you add this please?

https://github.com/codewario/PocketLibraryImageConversion

Would be great to have button mappings from within the program if possible!

Keep up the good work, my man!

Would it be possible to have an option to set a drive letter that Pocket Sync automatically looks at when starting the app, rather than having to manually point it there each time?

Platform: Windows
Version: 1.0.1

Issue:
Loading the SD card through an SD card reader (not through Pocket USB).

When I select the Games tab in the program, the window populates installed cores and lists how many games are in the respective folders. "1 Games", "5 Games", etc.

But no matter where I click on any of the icons or text, the program doesn't open a Windows Explorer file window.

Is there something I'm missing, or is this a bug?

I found a bug on my Macbook Air Mid 2012 13", macOS Mojave 10.14.6. Tested versions 1.0.0 — 2.0.0.
I installed the application, but on the first launch, the start window appears and immediately disappears, leaving behind an empty gray application window, with which nothing can be done. Restarting, reinstalling, rebooting, with the connected Pocket and without, lead to the same effect. Please fix it.

On the Game Gear core it alway shows me the 1.2.0 as an update marked green although there is no 1.2.0 version and the actual latest one is 1.3.0 which is already installed.

Describe the bug
Cores will show as having an update in the newsfeed, but upon clicking the newsfeed item to see the core details page the version number doesn't have the update's version number beside it.

To Reproduce
See description, need to wait for / fake a core being updated

Expected behaviour
It should show the update

Describe the bug
The program instantly crashes or is unable to open. A window flashes with the title "PocketSync" for a frame or two then closes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Install PocketSync
2. Try to open program.

Expected behaviour
The program to open and run.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Apologies, but the setup is not entirely clear. I have a pocket with correctly formatted SD card. When I click "connect to pocket" there is a slight delay but the pocket device is not visible in the file browser that opens.

Are there examples of how the connection process should behave on MacOS?

Hi, just to tell you that I moved the Pocket files in JTBIN from /pocket to /pocket/raw, in order to have release zip files in /pocket/zip.

Thank you for making life easier to users.

I did try again. White screen, then it flash Pocket Sync start screen and black screen. Maybe one day it work with older MacOS too. Hope the best.

See screenshot

Platform image viewer in the windows version seems to shift the image right by 1 column of pixels so you lose the end column and adds a column of white pixels to the left. (as discussed on discord)

Hi, the app shows screenshots but once I click on any there is only loading animation, as for save states it doesn't show anything but loading animation, also when I try to make backup of saves the app creates empty zip files.

Upon opening this app the GUI briefly appears and then disappears, leaving a blank screen. Running it on OSX 10.14.6

my MacBook air is running Catalina 10.15.7 and
the latest pocket sync update just open a blank window.
Previous Version was working perfectly.

When I launch the app on an M2 MacBook, running MacOS Ventura 13.1 all that launches is a blank / white screen.

As someone who has converted to using Pocket Sync exclusively, I was wondering if there was a way that Pocket Sync could "remember" which core versions/firmware are installed on a specific Pocket and let you know if there are updates available without connecting the Pocket or the memory card?
(I'm aware firmware updates aren't supported yet, but just for completeness' sake)

The app launches to blank grey screen on Mac OS 10.15(.7) aka Catalina. Connected, disconnecting, reconnecting via USB seems to have no effect. Yes, "USB SD Access" is enabled, pocket-updated-utility works for example.

Granted, this is my miraculously not-yet-dead MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012)...

The app doesn't work anymore, here displayed error:

On macOS 12.6.1 when I open a screenshot the app show the loading animation indefinitely. Pocket-sync Version 1.4.1 (20221206.003950). There's no debug console, so I cannot share an eventual js error

I get a blank screen requiring a restart when clicking on the installed SNES core. I was able to install it though. It doesn't happen with any other core I tested.

My setup: using the AppImage on Arch Linux.

When viewing the list of Image Packs, the Rows in the Current column do not align with the rows in the adjacent columns. It appears like the images in the other columns are 2x the desired height.

I observe this issue on MacOS 11.7.4.

First of all, a big thanks in making your tool work nicely with JT cores.
The jotego core jtoutrun.zip requires outrueha.rom but the archive repo the tool uses doesn't have it.
