Hey everyone on 12/7/22 Jotego dropped 14 new cores and Agg23 updated the NES Core. Thanks to Jotego there are alot of new cores people can enjoy below are the link to github where you can find the cores. I recommend using the Pocket updater for automatically download these cores. The bios will be download at the same time. Agg23 dropped a massive update that now allows you to use the Analogue Pocket's save state feature. See below for full update.

=============================================
NES Update

"The release everyone has been waiting for is finally here. Save state creation and loading (known as Memories on the Pocket), along with sleep and wake, has now come to the NES. You can now pause and resume NES games from arbitrary states of play, allowing you to come back to a hard section later, sleep your Pocket, and practice that Battletoads speeder bike level.

Check the README for a list of mappers that support save states.

In addition, this release brings some convenience features and fixes that several people have been asking for.

Load custom palettes to tweak the look of the video so it matches how you remember it as a kid
Several SMB3 romhacks incorrectly rely on the initial state of memory. We initialize the memory to 0 to get around these issues. Please let me know if a retail title has save issues as a result of this change
Games that have asynchronous two (or more) controller support (SMB/3 two player mode, Zelda 1 saving) can now be played entirely on the Pocket/with only one controller. Users can choose the Swap P1 & P2 option to swap between the controllers
EDIT: Contains a minor update to prevent saves from being wiped"
