i tried using pdz.py on the main.pdz file found in settings, but i got this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\user\Documents\reverse-playdate\pdz.py", line 114, in
pdz.save_entries(argv[2])
File "C:\Users\user\Documents\reverse-playdate\pdz.py", line 101, in save_entries
self.save_entry_data(name, outdir)
File "C:\Users\user\Documents\reverse-playdate\pdz.py", line 92, in save_entry_data
data = self.get_entry_data(name)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "C:\Users\user\Documents\reverse-playdate\pdz.py", line 86, in get_entry_data
return decompress(entry['data'])
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
zlib.error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

i did get this file from simulator and not real hardware, so that might be it.

The catalog API returns a consistent 50 results, so I suspect there must be a way to go to the next page of results. I tried a couple likely options with no luck. If you have any clues in that direction, I'd appreciate it.

According to Dave, this has changed since the docs were written: https://twitter.com/davehayden/status/1498512891867189252

I am planning on adding more scripts for working with the various formats you can find in a Playdate game:

• pdv converter - convert gif sequences to and from the pdv video format
• pdi/pdt converter - convert images to and from the pdi/pdt image format
• pda converter - convert audio to and from the pda format
• pdz packing support - add the ability to repack files into a pdz to pdz.py

If anyone would like to help so this gets done faster, that would be appreciated!

Thanks for this list of tools!

Would you be able to recommend tools that work on macos and allow decompiling / disassembling of .luac files?

Thanks!

The address for the serial unlock code seems to have changed, (const char*)0x1FF0F040 now throws an error.

If anyone could help me find the unlock code I'd be forever grateful, I really need full serial access for a hardware project I'm half way through.

Hello, I was wondering if someone has made a tool that dumps the lock key as seen at the bottom of this page, I am not very familiar with C so any help would be appreciated!

Having spent too long debugging this, I think the pdi/pdt documentation should add some notes on interpreting the cell header. Here's my immediate thoughts (feel free to use them if you think they're useful):

When compiling images, the Playdate software tries to eliminate borders that are entirely transparent. How many rows or columns were removed are the clip values. If the clipped image has no remaining transparent pixels, no alpha channel will be written at all.

As a result, an image with transparent pixels may not have an alpha channel. The pixels for which there is data are opaque. When the clipped borders are re-added, they are always transparent.

Looks like the unknown value is the first frame offset, among other things: https://devforum.play.date/t/video-encoder-work-in-progress-mac-only/1390/15

I want to recreate the playdate server API, but here's a thing; I don't have any /games/purchased/ or /games/system/ or /games/user/ API dump which isn't empty (just [])

If you can, can you provide a schema of the response given from /games/purchased/ or /games/system/ or /games/user/?

I haven't had a chance to properly look at this yet. It seems to be pretty similar to the imagetable format, but it wasn't obvious how each glyph is stored.
