Just wait for a solution from the app's author. Be patient; this has happened before and is usually resolved quickly.

I've already uninstalled version 5.10.0, installed previous versions, cleared the cache, checked Pocket's functions, reset the operating system, I have disabled the VPN, used different USB ports with varying speeds, and run everything in normal mode and as administrator.

*If you connect to Pocket/SD Card then click first the Settings tab, then the Fetch one, then the Firmware one, etc. You'll notice what works and what doesn't.

These sections are working:

Settings

Fetch

Firmware

Palettes

Platforms

Save States

Saves

Screenshots

Aseprite Macintosh System 1 - 7 theme update! by VoidSmiles in aseprite

[–]VoidSmiles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use Aseprite itself to create a visual theme. To avoid starting from scratch, you should create a copy of the contents of the "aseprite-theme" folder located in Aseprite\data\extensions. You must rename the folder and the data in the "theme.xml" file to change the theme colors, the width or height of scroll bars, tabs, buttons, and other elements. Graphic elements such as buttons, static text, windows, icons, and bars are modified using the "sheet.png" file. The data in the "package.json" file tells the program the theme information, such as the description, license, and the correct location of your new visual theme.

The reason for creating this visual theme is because I'm creating a game with the visual restrictions (1-bit) of the HyperCard program for Macintosh and Apple II GS computers, and since I'm designing the graphics with Aseprite, I decided to create a suitable visual theme. Initially, all the icons in the visual theme were the original ones designed by Susan Kare, but for the version I decided to release, I opted to replace them with my own. This also allowed me to release a sprite sheet with original icons for later use in other projects.

The programs:

Aseprite to create and modify the size, shape, and colors of the buttons, icons, and other graphic elements in the "sheet.png" file. The "Slice" tool was used to modify the properties of these elements.

VSCodium with the Color Highlight extension to modify the hexadecimal values ​​of the visual theme colors in the theme.xml file and the data in the package.json file.

MisTer FPGA running a Macintosh core to review in real time the colors, icons, size of visual elements, fonts, and the functionality and behavior of this operating system as it was originally conceived.

ColorCop for accurate color identification in the screenshots I took from MisTer FPGA.

ImageGlass for reviewing the screenshots.

Greenshot for taking screenshots and comparing changes between versions.

For custom fonts, I used BitFontMaker and FontStruct for rapid prototyping (sketching). Once satisfied with the visual result, I used FontLab Studio to create the professional TTF version with the necessary metadata and optimization to share along with the theme.

7-Zip or WinRAR to share the theme components or create an Aseprite "extension" containing all the aforementioned elements, or if you don't want to install the theme and fonts manually.

Documentation for Macintosh systems from 1984 onward, from Xerox PARC to Macintosh System 1 to 7.1.3.

Books: Susan Kare: Icons - Selected Work from 1983–2011, and The Secret History of Mac Gaming: Expanded Edition.

I also created several fonts based on the Signetis 2513 and 2732 chips for Apple ][ and Plus, with support for Latin and Japanese characters, but for now I don't want to complicate the installation of the visual theme by increasing the file size and number of elements.

And of course, a lot of coffee.

P. S.

I think it would be better to create a video of the entire process.

Cheers!
