It is possible other special characters are also affected, but so far I've only noticed this issue with apostrophes. In this case, both Link's Awakening in the GB folder and Link's Awakening DX in the GBC folder were not appearing. I initially dismissed the apostrophe because the GBA core correctly displays files like Yoshi's Island.
Steps to reproduce:
- Rename any working-as-expected file to include an apostrophe
- Observe the file no longer appears when loaded on Pocket
Just checked this and titles with apostrophes are displaying just fine. This is with the latest firmware v1.1 (rel. 5/4/23)
Interesting… I just updated to v1.1 and I’m still not seeing any files with apostrophes in GBC. I’ll continue troubleshooting; the fact that this isn’t a universal issue implies there’s something I may be able to do to fix it. When I figure out what the X factor is, I’ll update here for anyone else experiencing this and close the issue.
The problem was never the core; it was actually a character in the file names that was not actually an apostrophe. Manually renaming all the affected files resolved my issue.
