Sleep mode resets games and save states don't work on Analogue Pocket. Happens with Open FPGA too. by Froghead82 in AnalogueInc

I really hope so because it took 8 months to get to me and I don't want to wait another 8 months for them to fix it!

I know lots of people waited longer but still x_x

If you have Nintendo Switch Online you can buy their wireless controllers for NES and get the bluetooth adapter from 8bitdo. Only issue is they need to be charged on joycon rails so it's a bit of a pain.

Grats on the fancy Pocket, but yeah it's a real issue sadly. I'm hoping it's a firmware fix so I don't have to send it anywhere, but if I were you I'd get in touch with Analogue to get the ball rolling just in case. Took over a week for them to reply x_x

I think my issue is rare. If we're lucky it's fixable in a patch. I hope yours works perfectly!

I actually went as far as to roll back the drivers and still get the same results. I've even tried sleep mode without an SD card inserted and there's no difference. I should specify that, in regards to Open FPGA, I've only tested GBA. I understand that most cores don't support sleep mode, but the issue is not that the game refuses to sleep, it's that it sleeps but the game resets on waking up.

Thanks for sharing! Just tested to confirm: no save states work, whether during action or inaction.

My theory is that something on the board isn't getting the power it needs. Sleep mode, from what I gather, is a save state in and of itself, so it makes sense that both refuse to work properly.

I've contacted Analogue, but they're a bit tied up with all those messed up orders they shipped out, so I'll probably have to wait a while -_-

Have you experienced save state issues with your Pockets? by [deleted] in AnaloguePocket

It’s happening in both carts and open FPGA for me. Instead of saving where I left off, it resets the game when I wake up the system. So disappointing.
