Happy to help! I don't even have a pocket but I remembered seeing this online so now needing a pocket file is kind of a solved issue. I never liked having to export a separate proprietary format for a gameboy game because roms are such a nice clean universal format. It was like needing a different power cord in every country you go to.
Unfortunately to my knowledge that patcher only works for games that have had patches hand-made for each game, so it's not able to patch games that aren't on it's list.
The fact that it covers more than a thousand games is due, among other contributors, to how absurdly prolific JoseJX was at making patches (~1184).
.pocket files run through a core, the same as ones you can install to play .gb files. Unless you're acquiring licensed ROMs through unofficial means, there is nothing illegitimate about them.

Any chance of a .pocket export to try out on Analogue Pocket? Thanks
you can play .gb files on Analogue Pocket too though if you install a core that plays them

Oh damn, guess I have to keep exporting pocket files then...
Don't tell me you still play pocket files although there's openFPGA, especially with budude's GBC core.
In my work as a games journalist I have to use hardware and software for its legitimate intended purpose. So unfortunately no hacking of my devices
using openFPGA is not hacking.
