Error When Opening Games and Cores Tab

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

Describe the bug Hi, this is my first time reporting an issue so forgive me if I mislabel something. I just downloaded Pocket Sync for my Mac and connected it to my Pocket via USB. Every side tab on the app works, except the Games and Cores tab. As soon as I click on either, I get an Error message that reads

Games: null Attempt to read platform_id pdp1 @tauri://localhost/assets/selectors-B936pI06.js:1:882

Cores: null Attempt to read platform_id pdp1 @tauri://localhost/assets/selectors-B936pI06.js:1:882

ERROR AFTER THEN CLICKING POCKET SYNC TAB Pocket Sync: null Attempt to read platform_id pdp1 @tauri://localhost/assets/selectors-B936pI06.js:1:882

After these errors come up, then every other tab has an error until clicking "Retry" To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to Pocket Sync screen
2. Click on Game and Core Tab
3. See error(s)

Expected behaviour I figured it would open up the Cores and Games sections to download. It ended up crashing the app, until I clicked "Retry" on another tab that wasn't Cores or Games

Screenshots

Logs No logs come up after clicking on either tab and subsequently clicking Retry. Logs resume after clicking Retry on another tab.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS
• Version [Sonoma 14.6.1]

Additional context Thank you for your time, and all your work on Pocket Sync

Think this is the same issue as https://github.com/neil-morrison44/pocket-sync/issues/317

For some reason you're missing a file which should be at Platforms/pdp1.json - if you download that file from here https://github.com/spacemen3/PDP-1/tree/main/dist/Platforms and put it there it should resolve the issue

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

Oh I see. It is strange, because it looks like the file is already there under Platforms. Am I missing a setp?

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

I should say that I might've put another file in the wrong place, because I can only access Spacewar under the Builds setting in Pocket. Thank you so much for your help

[neil-morrison44]

What's in the json file? Could be the content is wrong & that'd explain why the Pocket itself is doing that too

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

[neil-morrison44]

That looks right, not sure what'd be going on. Manually removing all pdp1 files & reinstalling should fix it

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

Do you mean removing those files and anything related to Spacewar, and reinstalling the Spacewar game?

[neil-morrison44]

Yeah, that should fix whatever difficulty both the Pocket & Pocket Sync are having with it - would be more confident if something looked wrong though

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

Understood. I'll do it, and will let you know. Thank you so much

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

It fixed it. Thank you again. Just curious, what are the differences between the snes cores? One says it supports Analogizer

[neil-morrison44]

That's the only difference yeah, means one works with this thing: https://analogizer-fpga.com/en/products/analogizer-fpga-adapter to get an Analog signal out without having to wait for official DAC support from Analogue themselves.

The Analogizer cores are (generally) modified from the main version & maintained by the Analogizer guy himself

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

Goootchu. If I'm not using analogizer, then would it be best to uninstall it from my cores?

[neil-morrison44]

Yeah, no reason to have it if you've not got an Analogizer

[Mr-GOJIRA-san]

Awesome. Thank you so much Neil. I really appreciate your help, and work that you do.
